End game build

[Snitchez]

For the first game I know the DM/knight/wiz combo was used to run for hours/days and reach the higher levels and loot. I’m only at floor 400 right now but are we gonna see a viable end game build like before? I’m not seeing necroblast or a way to avoid ambush or automatically choose healing fairies.

The devs specifically said they wanted to get away from character abilities that make players use the same one-size-fits-all team. So no more automatically selecting the right portal (the Huntress increases the odds of finding the "good" portal, though), no more preventing ambushes (balanced by the fact that only one enemy gets to go before your party in an ambush instead of all of them), etc

generally, XX is for every 100 floors (since he goes first) and to protect you from dying to ambushes. 4 carpenters to kill everything with nailed it, swapping them out eventually for dark mages because they can kill 4 guys in less moves and noxin has a shorter animation, though this doesnt happen until roughly 250k. Eventually they will use the claw as the damage decrease is worth the faster animation. keeping a thief for extra essence or a nurse for heal after the occasional ambush.

While leveling, miners can be useful to farm ore, especially when you get to a new dimension. Mystics are used for mana regen before you get your mana high enough you dont need it. the rest of the classes, especially huntress and blademaster, dont really have a purpose at any point of the game.

edit: also, before you enter the dungeon and are selecting what floor to go to, you can change your key settings. you can make it so you only ever spend keys on the healing fairy and never take random portals (which are bad 80% of the time). once you get the relic that gives more keys, even getting it to 50 will give you more keys than you can spend if you stick to only the healing fairy, which is the only one worth using (mineshaft can be considered if youre dying for ores).
