Maybe something you picked up recently? Or something you found that was a game-changer.

Personally, I’m doing 5(HC, BB, OD, SI, FR) challenge runs with okay success and am looking to upgrade to 6.

    I’ve been playing for a very, very long time and won for the first time last week. The way I did it was with a corrupting weapon. I dumped upgrades on it and on a ring of arcana so basically I was corrupting every mob. This led to having my own private army.

      Congrats on the win! The game is quite involved so the first time winning is such a rush. Even with the low level weapons I use nowadays, having a few corrupted mobs is pretty fun. You may want to try out necromancer style with the mage if you enjoy that play style.

    The skill jump to add one challenge is very large, especially from adding Darkness or Pharma. Game changer would be understanding vision and how mobs see you.

      For me it’s just win consistency with all classes. For Pharmacophobia, it’s not so bad with Warden or Warlock. Rogue and Monk can mitigate Faith is my Armor. Into Darkness is annoying, but I think I can get used to it like the other challenges I normally take.

    Supernewb52’s guide, and 9chal speedrun, was a breakthrough for me. I did win before, but it was what really started me getting good. So far I’ve ascended 6chal a couple times and am running 7chal atm.

      That’s a lot of reading. For me anyways. But definitely stuff that I can pick up and incorporate. Thanks!

        For sure, but then I do think it’s something you want to read in parts and practice those parts before reading further
