Crabs are tough - I’m not a top tier player, but I’m not aware of a killer strategy like for some of the mobs. I do find that a small amount of upgrades makes a big difference in the early game, though. I’ll usually choose the item from the ghost that I can use the soonest (lowest tier) unless I’ve already found an equivalent.

Don’t be afraid to spend an upgrade or two early - many players will advise you not to “waste” upgrades on early equipment, but most games you don’t need every upgrade on your end game equipment to win. If playing as mage, dump an upgrade into your staff right away; you’ll retain that upgrade, even if you imbue a higher upgraded staff.

Likewise, don’t hoard health potions, seeds, etc. - they’re no use to you if you’re dead. All items are useful - if you’re not using an item (seed, stone, etc.) , figure out how you can add to your gameplay.

For dwarven halls (after 3rd boss), have a way of dealing with ranged enemies; either a way to quickly close the gap (e.g., hourglass, chains) or a way to blind them (e.g., darts, wand of prismatic light).

Good luck!

How do you find yourself dying? Are you starving? Or is there a particular enemy that’s giving you trouble?

I prefer to split upgrades - I find there tends to be diminishing returns when I pour too many scrolls into any one item.

+5/6 plate is OK for me for most runs (depends on exact circumstances); after all, armor only protects against physical attacks. Using the rest on weapon/wand/rings can make it so you can avoid taking hits in the first place.

I have a Cuecat! One of my early programming projects.

Firstly, welcome! I hope you stick around for awhile.

If you’re on mobile, your app may have theme options, too. I just checked on Voyager, and there is a toggle for Dark Mode (on by default on my install). Turning it off gives black-on-white.

Yes, I often do this intentionally to move down gear that I intend to sell.

A yard is 3 feet, so a cubic yard is 3 feet x 3 feet x 3 feet = 27 cubic feet
