Principles
How to build a run
- Take two or three damage skills early; potions need something to multiply.
- Carry one area skill for dense waves and one tool that buys space.
- Match potions to your skills’ upgrade tracks — every skill page lists the right ones.
- Use the Wishing Well for the one item that completes your build.
