Anyone has advice on which characters to take? Or at least what they're good at. I know the following:
Hook: Melee tank
Jack: Caster
Witch: Caster+debuffer on attacks (weapon)
Princess Pea: ??? Balanced caster-fighter perhaps?
Getting lockpick to 50 grants a thief glove which increases drop rates, and the ability to open very hard chests (usually 200+ gold or resurrection potions). Not worth it IMO.
Brian: I had lots of problem too... Then I realised that buying new mages is more worthwhile than upgrading current ones. Just a couple of poison/energy/ice ones (if you like) upgraded twice, the rest just keep buying new ones until there's no more space, then slowly upgrade. Works for me now. ;)
Just discovered how fun it can be when you have a lethality-build rouge. Demonhide cloak (5%), assassin's hood and gloves (10% and 8%), and Death's Edge (20%). At 43% lethality I'm getting insta-kills almost half the time! Should put them on my warrior and hope cleave wipes everyone out at once. :D
