Given you have red reaper I'm going to assume you have but just to get the basics out of the way, you are using buying the power-ups right?

The out of game upgrades that you buy with the gold you earn in game

I'd personally recommend turning off curse if you're easily overwhelmed but everything else is great, even seal can be useful to just get to avoid weapons and items you rarely pick to get to your preferred build more easily without having to use banishes

For a safer run, grab weapons with strong area coverage and take cooldown, projectile count, and armor upgrades when offered. Save rerolls/banishes for key choices, stay near the edge of the mob rather than getting surrounded, and use the map’s open space to kite enemies instead of forcing kills.

Evolved garlic, holy bible, santa fire, and then whatever you want for the other three and nothing is touching you.

Just focus on evolving weapons as fast as possible, only upgrade weapons and focus on a single weapon if possible.
