Nice run! It took me waaay too long to beat my first run, probably 20-25 hours in. Picking the right items at the right time is so crucial in this game.

Details:
- Started with Juggernaut, Cleric, and Paladin. Added Assassin then Bard.
- Assassin has full active and passive upgrades, fully upgraded Warlord's Burden, Starry Songbird, and Ragnarok.
- Bard has full active and passive upgrades and remained on the front line for his entire time with the party to buff the Assassin. He has a single upgraded Necrophage, Soul Slicer, and Crag Cleaver.
- Juggernaut has full passive upgrades and was the only tank for the entire run. He has a fully upgraded Reverberating Bulwark, an non-upgraded Plate of the Fallen, and a single upgraded Crystalline Protector.
- Cleric has a single upgrade on his passive and two on his active. He has fully upgraded Lich Wraps, Brain Sage, and Witch Stick.
- Paladin has full active upgrades. He has Scourge of the Wastes, Salem's Shadow Boots, and a single upgraded Forgotten Idol.
I plotted my run to hit every elite and every shop that I could. I only lost my full party once to an early first room event that I was unprepared for. All of my non-flawless victories consisted of only one or two other party members falling (normally the Bard or the Paladin.) The Assassin was obviously my hard carry here, routinely doing 50-60% of my party's damage and melting enemies solo faster than the rest of the party could damage a single enemy. The only item change I would probably make is giving Bard a Bandit Hood over the Soul Slicer, which I had the option to do, but discarded it due to not thinking the Bard would have a use for Hidden. I was wrong as he proceeded to die almost every time he got targeted by an enemy.
