Inverted Mode Tips?

[🐉Kesseleth🐉]

I just unlocked inverted mode and tried it a couple times. It's proving quite difficult compared to non-inverted. With very strong characters like Poppea, I'm still having a lot of trouble, just not getting the DPS needed to beat the enemies that arise and generally losing around the 15 minute mark. With weaker characters like Poe, not a chance.

Obviously there's an amount of luck involved, and so I could imagine a run of really nice drops that lets me crush everything. But barring that, does anyone have any general tips or items that are particularly recommended? I'm having a lot of trouble and not sure what I'm doing wrong (other than "Getting hit too much", which is somewhat self-evident).

Fewer things are viable in inverse mode simply because of all the extra health that things have.

Item-wise I would reccomend either gatti amari or the whip evolutions. With the whips you can outheal a lot even if you're getting hit yourself, especially if you have the arcana that doubles heals. With the cats, when they fight they do a ton of damage and they'll fight more often when your luck is higher. Just be sure you don't evolve them.
