⚠️ Common Mistakes

❌ Skipping Projectile

It’s the best Dagger multiplier early — reach and coverage both improve.

❌ Over-picking weapons

Too many weapons dilute upgrades. 3–4 total keeps daggers strong.

❌ No XP routing

Without Sucky Magnet or Attraction Tome, you’ll fall behind on levels while kiting.

❓ FAQ

Lightning Staff or Revolver?

Take Lightning Staff for pack control; choose Revolver for elites/bosses. Pick based on drops and lobby.

When to add Aegis?

Whenever chip damage becomes a problem while speed-stacking. It buys time to greed tomes without dying.

Do I need movement items if I'm confident?

You can skip one, but Tony converts speed into safety and uptime. At least one speed item is recommended.
