Hello, kinda tough so far, was lured with time contraction, very bad idea dont use that spell, the enemy get reinforced regarding the real in game time... so .... last boss is too hard after 2hr IGT.
Ill try with time dilation, soo 2hours of real time before 1st enemy buff.

Yup, change your apprentice templates and switch time contraction for time dilation, ignore the divine upgrades / don't wait till you have them, go with evocation as primary and focus your researchers on that until you have big bang, use thunder whip, stun belt and thieves garb along with Attack Delay Strengthens, get some stun potions and go for it. I think I finished it at ~50 Minutes ingame time, as last of the challenges. (with Lightning Element, but really it's all about Nova and Big Bang anyway).

Would starting, then taking a break so you get a bunch of time pieces be a good idea?

I have managed a 25 on mine, but then I am on NG+2 sooo I don't think that counts.

25min IGT? thats very very fast nice

I finished my run in just over an hour (thus extra pain in the butt) because I really needed that stun reduction token. Of course, I also hadn't finished all the ultimates or maxed out most of my levels for restart purposes. Ah well, only Holy left.

I can't imagine a 25 minute run yet.

NG+2 so my stats were higher than on NG, as I had a way higher income, sotrage psace and costs overall, while enemies were left unchanged. So again had an advantage that woudl be hard to match on normal NG.

You can't research with time pieces in this mode
