Key takeaways
  • The best weapon depends on its move set, your perks and what you can control—not a universal current winner.
  • Use related guides to connect dungeon, inventory, shop and build decisions.

The core loop

Enter a dungeon, fight through rooms, collect relics, arrange them in your limited backpack, then decide whether to push deeper or teleport home. Back in town, sell the haul, read customer reactions and reinvest in upgrades.

Build around the systems

Backpack space, relic quality, weapon choice, run perks, shop furniture, NPC quests and town progression all connect. Use the related guides to follow one decision through the whole dungeon → shop loop.

Spear example

Source B describes throwing smaller spears around the room and pulling them back so returning spears deal damage. The reviewer preferred gauntlets for speed; that is an opinion, not a fact.
