Tips!
- Try not to leave a Level without finding the Armor. You'll want as much as possible.
- Heed your maximum HP (5 x Armor) to optimize the value of Healing Potions.
- Heed the maximum damage (Strength x Level). Use Healing Potions before a Dance-Off.
- Engage with Goblins, because they're easy to beat and might have Food.
- On higher levels, when the risk-to-reward ratio is low, avoid engaging Wraiths.
- If a Dragon's pattern is too difficult, engage a lower-Strength monster to change the Dragon's pattern.
