My highest level in 30min (Sammy + Arcanas + Darkanas)

[Jayam]

Just got to know Sammy (excluisve for the DLC "Tides of the Foscari") and his passive: Gains XP when picking up Gold Coins and Coin Bags. Starts with temporarily reduced Might.

Very crazy interaction with XP gains. Got to play a bit and got really excited about doing the highest level possible in 5min, then 20min and finally 30min

Not sure yet if XP and Gold both works with Sammy, but Wicked Season (Arcana XIII) works very well with it. Along side that, we can increase Growth using Crystal Cries (Darkana XII)

I've done it in the Abyss Foscari, which is the latest map I got and because it offers a 300% XP boost

So it was LVL. 26555 in 31:03 minutes of game, before Grey Death end

[EDIT] Just changed the ideia of using Crystal Cries (Darkana XII), and started with Moonbane (first commentary) ideia: Disco of Gold (Arcana XV)

Got to LVL. 29385 in 30:00 mark.

Dont forget about Disco of Gold arcana. And the Nightsword/Muramasa have a damage enhancer from your greed.

The death you are refering to is known as The White Hand.
