Here are two things I noticed that impacted how I thought about the Ranged weapon only challenge. The only time I used this trick (if you can't tell, I hate grinding survival) outside of those circumstances so far was for the Ranged weapon only challenge.Īre you still reading? I'm not adding a tl dr to this post. When I encounter an Equipment level X challenge, I try to level up by fighting extra hard Tournament battles and buy the NEXT level's equipment so that I can be prepared for the NEXT level's Equipment level X challenge. I try not to buy/upgrade magic and ranged weapons. For levels that require fighting bosses ( which includes every level in the Interlude), I upgrade the weapon four times and the armor/helm two times each. I'm currently in the Interlude in this save file, though I have played until Act VI in a previous save file over year ago. For all player levels that do not require me to fight a boss, I restrict myself to upgrading the weapon three times and upgrading the armor/helm one time each.

There are two important things that I have taken notice of.īefore I tell you more, I need to be sure you understand how I buy and upgrade equipment to understand why I fought Arrow the way I did. Want evidence? In Act VI, there is a Challenge that forces you to fight Arrow (equipped with Silver Spear) with only Needles, which are automatically given to you at a predetermined power level. Those last two are especially important. Enemies do not seem to know WHICH button you press. Please feel free to dispute anything you disagree with.Įnemies can access Shadow's metadata and know: I think I have a good idea of what enemies know and don't know about Shadow.
