Trying to win with tier-3 equipment (lemmy.world)

All my wins have been with tier-4 and tier-5 equipment. I want to see if I can win with only tier-3 items. My rules are never to equip anything above tier-3, not even thrown weapons. Playing with a gladiator, who is about to go down to level 13, with the swarm intelligence challenge.

Has anyone tried something similar? Do you think it's possible to win with only tier-2 or (gasp) tier-1 equipment?

Update: I'm about to start level 19, still with a sword +1, and with a mail +8 of anti-magic. It's amazing how far a tier-3 +1 weapon can take you!

Update 2: Run complete! See https://lemmy.world/post/18859193

I think with the right rings you could do a naked run. I'm just not sure if a Ring of Tenacity or a Ring of Evasion is better as armor substitute. Probably Tenacity.

Tenacity SUCKS as armor substitute. Probably Evasion

Even better, RoH and ranged attacks until a melee finisher if needed. I do have a similar win, not naked but FiMA evasion enhanced cloth, so 0-0 damage reduction

That's a strat I've thought about before, but never have actually went with it. You need to have a really good weapon and, either agument ir with speed or have a ring of furor

Warden + something that makes grass. Bonus for high damage wand especially lightning (doesn't damage cover, full damage for multiple zaps)
