Ultimately, Alexander perished, dropping gold and stat bonuses!įeeling accomplished, confident, and loaded with gold from my victory, I pressed on, back into the castle, seeking out the tower above the castle area. This combination of spells and speed allowed for a hit and run strategy on Alexander, and the many minions he summoned fell as mana fodder to Teresa’s sword. Additionally, Teresa had ADHD, which increases the movement speed of the character. This spell allows you to hit a single enemy multiple times if the enemy is hit at the apex of the axe’s flight. She was equipped with the axe spell, which launches a large axe in a hyperbolic arc. Lady Teresa, having gained direct access to Alexander challenged the boss straight away.

This can allow you to gain direct access to the boss, or come back to a challenge that you failed in the next generation with a class that is more likely to succeed. Locking down the castle, however has the benefit of keeping any challenge rooms or boss locations in the same place. Interestingly, in my two save files, the game charged different rates, in the first the architect only took 30% of my gold, but in my second the architect took 40%. However, this service is not free, and it requires that you give up a portion of the gold collected on that run. Anxious to be able to try out my new abilities on the boss I decided to use the Architect, a curious and strange gentleman, who has the ability to lock down the castle to the previous orientation. The previous generation had made it to Alexander, and died like so many of the generations before that.

This maxes out at the ability to retain 30% of your gold, which may not seem like much, but as upgrades begin to cost more and more, retaining some of the gold between runs allows you to stockpile and upgrade on the next run if you don’t have enough for that shiny new ability on this run. While normally the demon at the gate would steal all remaining money when entering the castle, this upgrade allows you to save some of the gold between runs. I spent some money in the home castle before setting out on the “Haggle” upgrade.

This particular class shines in new game, but in new game plus it really becomes powerful due to the high damage output. Freezing the boss allows you to get up close and start hitting the boss with impunity, which in turns regenerates the mana spent keeping the time stop spell going.

This class could be called “The Boss Killer” when outfitted with the time stop spell. This cost can be easily offset by closing the distance to your enemies and laying waste with a few strikes from the sword to regenerate the mana. The upgrade unlocks a special ability which produces a larger version of the standard spell equipped that does double the damage but at a higher mana cost. Lady Teresa is a spellsword, which is the upgrade for the spellthief class. As you navigate the castle, you do not carry a sword, however as you melee attack, the spellthief summons a sword to its hand. One of the most distinct aesthetic differences with the class is the lack of sword. This character is a true hybrid, and can be a joy to play when you get accustomed to the melee and magic combat systems baked into the game. Additionally, they have the ability to steal an amount of mana that is proportional to the damage dealt to an enemy. While the spellthief is not as robust as a barbarian, they are not as weak as a mage. The spellthief is an interesting character class that can’t be put into a box. Be wary Alexander, I am coming for you!Īfter the jump, will the spellsword spell victory or another defeat? My blade is made of magic itself, and I possess all powerful spells. I am an all powerful combination of mage and assassin. But unlike my ancestors, I am something new. Many of ancestors have challenged him, and as many have fallen to him or his minions. Too many of my family have fallen to the abomination. I live only to defeat the monster and grind his bones into dust. My one goal in life is to destroy Alexander.
