Starting Tips

Because we are friendly.

Use the environment to your advantage, dodge before you strike, kite your enemies and most importantly, prioritize your targets as some of them can spawn even more monsters!
Your enemies come in several versions of themselves: normal, elites, and champions. Learn their patterns, skills and special moves, and the best way to counter them…
Slash the relevant elements on the terrain to uncover food and coins, and take your time to grab them, they won’t disappear.
When faced with a choice for the next room, always balance your immediate needs with your long term goals. Health is always helpful, but choosing a relic might be more beneficial in the long run.
Use your skills appropriately. All skills can (and should) be properly timed to yield devastating results.
