Having a good win rate with Ranger, here's a quick guide: 1) Try 1-2 times each class to get familiar with weapons/items/abilities/ennemies. Then only Ranger. 2) Aggro one mob at most when possible, aim for crits on unstable terrain, defeat healers and summoners first, overuse SP to flee and attack safely. Empty all floors, note position of merchants/librarians/etc. Careful: clouds block arrows, but you can sprint through without taking damage. Final boss has 3 phases, in the 3rd you need to attack and pick the goblet to slay the boss. 3) Stats: prioritize Dex, Str can be raised to 12 for HP, Abilities and better armor. Ignore Int. Focus Evade/Block/Reflect and aim for 5-8 Prot, 7-9 SP, 80-110 HP. 4) Abilities: Perfect Aim+2 then Strafe Attack+2. Max Tunnel Shot and Power Shot by the end. 5) Equipment: Crossbow is BiS, and take a good 1H Melee Weapon, ideally ignoring Armor. The best armors have Reflect/Evasion/Block or bonus HP, enchant them and not the weapon. 6) Don't lose hope :)
I absolutely hate how in some levels, balls can have weird behaviours (like being stuck together or not landing in the expected place) for no reason except clunky physics... Even if that was the only bad thing to comment about this game, it alone is frustrating enough
[3/3 - Afky] 13) Play the Afky minigame when you can, it will be useful much later for a very powerful pet and bonus stats multi. At first invest in Count and HP (whichever is the least expensive), and always cap Power whenever you can. When reaching 40:24, max firing speed (to 3800). Keep buying the least expensive between Count and HP while capping power until around 1500 HP, where HP will start giving you more xp than Count for the same price. Rebirth Afky when you can increase your exp multiplier by 10%, which should be every 3 days. For instance first rebirth should be at ~1M Power. This is a very basic and short guide, so check Discord if you're interested in better optimization.
[2/3 - Pets] 6) Pets may not look useful at first but become very powerful later on, don't neglect them 7) Early pet recommended evolutions, assuming no/few pet tokens : Mouse Supporter, Frog Supporter, Bee Alchemist, Cupid Blacksmith, Egg Assassin, Armadillo Defender, Bug Blacksmith 8) Do NOT use chocolate (except for pet evolutions) unless you have a steady source (such as evolved Cocoa or Pumpkin pet) 9) Do NOT unlock the 4 elemental pets if you don't have the 2 Hard Badges at the very least, but unlock Aether BEFORE getting the first Hard Badge 10) Play Idle Cooking Emperor ~ once a week for a free ITRTG pet in a month (or faster with Discord recommendations), it's very much worth it 11) Enter Code "Happy2023" in the settings window to get a lot of bonuses, which you should use to unlock Sphinx pet. May not work in 2024+ 12) Press Feedback in Info window to unlock Bug pet
[1/3] By playing actively and optimizing a bit I got all easy badges on Feb. 17th, the medium badges on Feb. 19th, 23rd, 25th and 28th and the hard badges on March 2nd and April 23rd. Will need several months for the impossible badge. Tips/informations: 1) When in doubt, ask Discord (awesome community) or the miraheze wiki (not the fandom one) 2) First Hard badge is end of Tutorial, second one is in Earlygame, and Impossible badge is late Midgame 3) GP should initially be spent to increase CS to ≥345%, which will max clone creation speed with enough Creating stat. After that, currently recommended ratio is 40kclones:70%bs:35%cs:1cc to reach clone cap in 20 minutes 4) It's recommended to bank (ie not spend) 5-10% of your lifetime GP to boost your stats [set to 50/50/0/0 in the GP menu] (not worth it imo unless 1000 lifetime GP at the very least) 5) If there's an event going on (valentine/eastern/summer/halloween/xmas), focus on it to get a pet token, and if you can, the event equip too
Tip for challenge 4 : the dragon and the sword have a mid-long range weapon, so pushing your shield against the dragon is NOT the solution (the dragon can't attack the shield so it will attack the sword instead).
To win, keep the shield at mid-range of the dragon and leave the sword to attack on its own. Make sure the shield is always closer to the dragon than the sword, but not between the dragon and the sword (or it will take the sword shots). You will still need some luck but at least it is not impossible.
