Charlotte: HOW DO???

[UmbreonMessiah]

I do not get this character. Please, someone, anyone, tell me how to make this work.

[Moonbane]

When mirrors of truth pickups begin to permanently spawn after opening the ram gate, simply collect x7 of them. Voila.

[UmbreonMessiah]

I don't mean how to get her, I mean how to play as her. I can't even last 5 minutes in the castle without Hurry before she's completely overwhelmed.

[Moonbane]

Ah, misunderstood you.
Infact playing Charlotte right now on first attempt

The crucial thing is the top 2 darkanas - Moonlight Bolero and Crystal Cries and getting Glass Fandago asap. Once you got the health rolling up, continue with improving your spells.

Edit: Finished the run, pretty strong spellcaster if you get her setup to survive.

Gemini is your friend. As is standing still to build her guage.

if all else fails, just take divine bloodline. its cheap and samey but works everytime with any character

Divine Bloodline gives health when you kill something with retalitory damage.
Crystal Cries gives health, growth and regen when you kill frozen targets.

So your explanation isn't really how to play Charlotte, it's how to stack health.

[Moonbane]

I think you have some odd expectations then. I play all characters with the setup to let them gain health, growth and regen. Everyone is playable with this approach.

if you cant figure out how to make an arcana that kills anything that runs into you while sending your hp to the moon, i dont think im equipped to help you.

Is all that really necessary though? All you need to make Charlotte work is Gemini Arcana. Get as many of the Belnades Spell books as you can, and just stand still when you can and you'll melt the screen.

[Arc]

You don't have to use her charge mechanic. Just stop and face an enemy to place the red target on it, then run off and she'll fire her fire when its ready. The charge mechanic is just an extra cast of her books when full.
Given you can ignore her core mechanic with no issue, you play her like everyone else. Just head north on spawning in to get the rock book and that'll help a lot with crowd control. Fire book at high levels lasts longer than its own cast time so you can sit in it and be safe.

I started with Sarabande of Healing since it constantly pulses a knock-back and is enough to kill/stop the initial few waves in their tracks

ok so first of all, use the garden level to evolve the book to unlock it.

at some point you unlock the Belnades Spell Tome(a candy box for just the spells) and you can switch her to it on the character select screen. her starting weapon is HORRIBLE for surviving.


you either need to rush some of the other bosses for their spellbooks or pick the frost or wind book at the start of the level(belnades tome)

[CerusSerenade]

Charlotte is a character that excels once she gets more Belnades spellbook weapons, as her charge causes them all to trigger. Otherwise it's weaker.

Embrace that she's a book-centered character.
