The most important early game upgrades are crit chance (base percentage is 0% unless you're a knave) and armor which actually surpass item progression. Reducing Charon's cost is a trap, upgrade it once to extend the tree but don't put any money in it. The upgrade that may resurrect you is also a trap. Upgrade class abilities ASAP because they're all useful (except the miner). The gold upgrade ability is super useful and will pay for itself. While the health/mp item upgrade seems pathetic (only +1% each upgrade) that too will noticeably stack up when every hp and mp count. | ||
* As far as runes go, the dash and double jump are practically essential and should be equipped always. From there you can equip whatever appeals to you but vampiric/siphon abilities are always helpful once you reach the point where you can farm weaker enemies for health and mana. The curse runes make enemies harder but they'll drop more gold. When I thought I wasn't making any headway into the forest and was getting super frustrated because I died at the boss about 12 times, I slapped a shinobi with a bunch of curse runes and easily ran through the castle getting 5,000+ gold before dying. | * As far as runes go, the dash and double jump are practically essential and should be equipped always.

* The only time you want to use the architect is when there's a fairy chest you can get with an ability you have (remember time stop for no damage rooms). Even then I wouldn't use him because fairy chests aren't exactly rare and the drop in gold is really painful. You can also lock if you're ready to face a boss but my rule of thumb is that if I can't reach the boss room in a fresh run, I'm not ready to face the boss with my next character. | * The only time you want to use the architect is when there's a fairy chest you can get with an ability you have (remember time stop for no damage rooms).

The timing is stupidly precise and the hit box janky but it's a helpful ability that lets you dance right past unfair rooms with a ton of enemies standing on spikes. | ||
