Best way to get through Adventures quicker?

[Ursling]

I just started the Garlic adventure for the first time and I'm getting my ass handed to me lol. I got every arcana/darkana. Whats the best setup to make em go a lil faster?

honestly as dragging as it is to start over again.
my only advice is to just play through it. you may find a faster method playing it by unlocking certain items early but that requires to play through it.

Just focus on the achievements (ex: you only need to hit 10 minutes on Stage 1 in Garlic) and don't forget to use your money to rebuy power ups. Adventures use their own, so you're basically starting from zero instead of carrying over from the main game. Took me a hot minute to realize that first time I did Adventure.

Right, I guess there's no "real" way since you just gotta start over but I was hoping there may be a way. Thanks!

Thanks for the reminder. It's been so long since I upgraded my powers so I'm definitely trying to prioritize a couple first haha

Try the new Darkanas, they bend Adventure Mode over their knee and break its back.

Moonlight Bolero gives you a free treasure chest enemy every minute, which can evolve a weapon before the usual 10-minute threshold, give you bonus items to survive a run, or give you extra Arcanas or Darkanas. In any case, you're also getting gold from those chests, which you can spend on the Power-Up menu afterward.

Hail from the Future gives you a random power-up with every level-up, which at least gives you some bonus gold, while at its best can give you a Candybox, Golden Finger, Gold Fever, etc.

Crystal Cries, when combined with the above's random Orologion drops or other Arcana like Jail of Crystal, can get you snowballing at a ridiculous rate, gaining bonus health, regeneration, and growth as you kill frozen enemies. It gets especially crazy with Hail from the Future, which can end with you in a constant frenzy of leveling up, getting stat bonuses to help you level up faster, and getting Orologions from the heavens to let you keep killing frozen enemies.
