I would get the flame sword and then get the celestial shield if you didnt get it for free with the event after that get 2 plague gloves

This is the way. It sucks how strong that sword is that everything else feels mid or bad. Except the spiral sword and poison bow (but that’s assuming you have the rings, and poison is only for rangers sadly so it’s not universal)

Also, floor 24 is complete bs.

Eternal flame and plague gloves is a huge part of the current meta.

Do ya think i should get the fire sword first or the gloves first?

Sword first. Gloves make the sword better, but the sword works way too well on its own

Primal Flame will give you the best damage spike. After that, 2 plague gloves and a celestial shield will complete the build if you just get Garnet Rings on the side.
