Then do you feel that Biden was too old?

As a long time player, I agree it is a very big difference, but I wouldn't necessarily say it's worse. There is more information automatically recorded that is very relevant when ascending/back tracking, and doing this would have been very awkward with the old format. I don't think players should have to open the notes 25 times a playthrough just to record floor modifiers. While you could suggest a way to improve the current system, I feel that simply reverting to the old system isn't the answer.
I feel there should be some form of hint to the rat king giving the crown an extra ability, perhaps this could be implemented somewhere here?
The problem is pharmicaphobia(ignore spelling) and barren land invalidate those options.
Super excited for the new additions/changes, keep up the great work!
Best strategy with dwarf king is to utilize burst DPS like fire, bleeding, and bombs to kill phase 1 before he can pump out too many summons. Phase 2 requires you to assassinate monks/warlocks since they are the biggest threats, and you can use your earth wand to help tank the rest. Phase 3 is a breeze if you have a potion of purity and toxic/corrosive gas, and a fire pot/paralytic gas pot helps. Just drink the purity, throw the gasses, and stealth for 20 turns while you watch the king melt. Don't attack to keep the invis, the boss will die from the damage over time and his summons automatically die after he does. A scroll of artifact recharging is helpful for the fight, but with your current hp you will have to rely on some crazy RNG.
The distinct advantage huntress has is the bow, which let's you whittle down the hp of enemies before you go into hand to hand combat. It is also important to note that your bow can be enchanted, which it is a good idea to do as soon as you find a stone of enchantment, since you use the bow the entire run.
Yeah I was just messing with you man, although now I want to try it.
Yeah when playing 9-chal you almost rely on unblessed ankhs for that very reason.
Not having the gloves equipped the entire run is kinda cheese ngl.
Thorns isn't a viable strat since you have a very low chance of actually getting it. This strat can work with huntress since the bow upgrades automatically, but upgrading your armor past 7+ is generally a waste. The fact that you have all those health pots left over is kinda evidence of that.
