My most powerful huntress build so far (lemmy.world)

The scale armor was augmented for evasion; not even the scorpions could hit me. I waltzed through the demon halls without worries.

I also had a RoW +1 and a robber's armband, and at some point had more than 10,000 gold. I had never had more than 3,000 before. Overall, I collected almost 21,000 gold; all my previous wins hovered around 14,000.

There are three (!) stones of enchantment, not even in hidden rooms. And five experience potions!

Ascended with a score of 242,000, my best yet.

Seed: BSC-DPD-VGR

I have yet to ascend without the HoP, upgraded WoR, or the chalice. Before augmenting your scale, did you just survive on food drops and huntress dew?

[–] buo 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Yes, just food drops, potions of healing and dew. This particular seed has an ample supply of food as well. In general, I used to struggle with food management, but lately I've improved this aspect of the game and seldom run out of food. Some ideas:

Make sure to move diagonally when possible to save one turn.
Convert all mistery meats to edible meat.
Get the small rations from the shops.
Imbue the blandfruit with a seed of icecap or firebloom. Besides serving as a thrown weapon, they leave some food behind. It lasts for a long time!
Try not to go back and forth through a level -- minimize the amount of turns you spend moving.
The potions of honeyed healing (healing potion + shattered honeypot) also provide a bit of satiety.

Great tips, thanks! I almost always toss the bland fruit for space.

If you're struggling with food without Horn of Plenty, have you tried consistently letting yourself starve to somewhere between 50-80% of your max health before eating?

[–] ganksy 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I have but on those runs my death rate jumps through the roof. My health, at least until I get chainmail or get lucky with +2 weapon, is always somewhere between 50-80%. Maybe I play too haphazardly.

It might just be a matter of being more efficient with your route, or occasionally letting go of rooms if you're already hungry to move on a little quicker.

[–] ganksy 2 points 5 months ago

You're definitely right I need to plan routes better. Maybe just playing slower and more methodically. Thanks!
