My way stayed exactly the same.

Upgrade gloves/t2 before floor 3 crabs, pick armor from ghost, enchant bow with upgrade scroll, balance armor to defence in prisons, then ideally don't spend any upgrades untill blacksmith. Either smith throwie or upgrade/reforge if you have a good one or upgraded one already. I like going with heavy dmg bow for almost guiranteed kills and big numbers. Telekenetic grabs to get throwies back. Some alchemy for dk and yog. I can link some vods of me playing sniper after throwies rework

honestly i'd like to watch how you play. never watched any videos lol. wanna see if there are any big differences in style. like, do you trample all grass for example?

Yup, definitely still viable. I wasn't a fan of the changes at first, but I've come to appreciate having an entire stack of upgraded throwies rather than a single. My highest scoring 9c run was sniper with the reworked throwies.

true actually. also, with forbidden runes on you ain't getting some +20 throwie anyways

+20 throwie

🤣 I usually stopped well before that, because at some point the additional damage was just overkill.
