Tiff was such a fun run!
A found a +3 leather armor early, which I was able to enchant with stone glyph (coverts evasion into damage reduction). This combined with the freerunner evasion abilities was incredibly effective at reducing damage overall.
The rings of haste and fervor were also a great find, because speed is life for the freerunner. I was so fast that I was occasionally one-hitting enemies before they even woke up! Never experienced that before.
Finally, the kinetic katana. I was able to save all my SoUs until I found the katana next to the troll blacksmith (found some +2 weapons that did OK until then), and I poured everything I had into it. It was at +9 by the dwarves, and boy did that feel good.
I’ve been playing less to win and more to try interesting builds lately, but this one was an easy ascension. And man was he fast!
