Stick with the katana until the guard blade in the dark rift shop. Use the power band until the you can get that golden thing from the dark rift shop. I'd replace the claw shield with the blade sheild (3rd floor) but you will want to switch up the shields during the dark rift. The demon rags are ok if you have the money, but if you've already bought the metal armour then save until you get that golden armour. One is easier in the beginning, but harder during the dark rift. Basically you can either use the vertical strike, or you can wait until you have the avenging stab and use that (in the meantime, build up inner strength and attack with vertical strike. I'd recommend saving 2 or three points so that as soon as you reach level ten you can spend 4 points on avenging stab. The strategy with vertical strike is straightfoward, with the avenging stab you want to use you normal attack until they break your sheild and do some damage to you. Your normal attack should be pretty good because of inner strength. (don't do execution, it takes way too much mana) Just have a lot of potions cuz you'll need to heal a fair amount and its kinda expensive and you don't have a lot of mana.Īnyway start using avenging stab once you've taken some damage.

In terms of stats you'll mostly want to go with strength and occaisonally max health. Don't bother with mana, you'll get very little increase.
