Equipment Synergy & Strategy
- Synergize effects: Equip gear that supports your main tactic (e.g., shield stacking with “Torch That Should Not Be Extinguished” + “Wild Fur Cloak”).
- Upgrade one character: For optimized save data, funnel your best gear onto a single combatant in each run.
- Swap to counter bosses: Use debuff gear against high-damage or shielded enemies, a second trinket with Agony/Recovery often tips hard fights.
- Elite areas: Always tackle elite zones when healthy, high risk, but the top rewards.
