Bumping this as well as updating:

I no longer request a paragraph of lore. Simply indicate which character you want and provide a name suggestion for them to enter for a chance to win either character!

First off I wanted to start off this guide with boosts and familiar effects that are not calculated/don't take effect in the dungeons. This is because the following boosts would either make dungeons impossible, or are impossible to calculate because of how the dungeon functions.

• Golden: Dungeons drop one item per enemy, so while we can calculate tier 3 we cannot calculate tier 1-2.
• Moderation: Dungeon drops already have no weights on their drops.
• Kindred: Anything that increases the number of drops cannot be calculated.
• Sloth: Loot remains 1 per enemy.
• Elemental: Again, drops have no weights.
• Immortality: Dungeons have no cooldowns.
• Keen Eye: Again cannot increase drops.
• The North Star: Same as above.
• Death's Curse: If this was active, people with it would never be able to complete dungeons.
• Mercury Tier 3: No Increasing drops.
• Fisherman: Same as above.

For familiars, ones that drop specific things (Such as the Clam or Gryphon that drop gems) do still work, but those like the Fox and Snake, that increase/add drops, will not.
Familiars that change the drop table, such as the Pelican and Scarecrow, do not work.


This guide will be updated further if I remember anything else.

Now onto the other part of the guide, strategies. There are a few strategies I recommend and don't, though these are mostly my own opinion and shouldn't be strictly followed.


First up is carrying. If you have a weak character and your friend has a strong character who is killing mobs while yours is following along, I DO NOT recommend doing this. It's fine if they're both your own characters, but if one is owned by your friend and the other is yours, the weak one is going to be put into a bad spot down the line, guaranteed. Examples of this is the person with the strong one deciding farther in the dungeon to go separate ways and leaving the weak one behind, which causes the weak one to be stuck until someone else comes by or be forced to return to the beginning of the dungeon. This also can be an issue if confusion is involved. If the stronger one gets confused and hurts the weaker one, the weaker one will be sent back a floor and this will break up their party.

The other thing I DO recommend is, if you have multiple spirits in a party, trying to hit the boss one at a time. For later floors you might need more than one spirit, but for sooner floors it's best to go in one at a time simply because you only get one drop from the boss.


I also recommend preemptively applying bandages and/or recovery herbs to your later submissions, as that could change the tide of the battle significantly.


Another thing I DO NOT recommend is having a party greater than 2 or maybe 3 if you think you can risk it. This is because of the risk of confusion, which if you go solo has no effect. Not only that, but it's more work on the art/lit to add more characters, and it doesn't increase the drops.


Additionally, I recommend doing one dungeon at a time instead of multiple at once. The reason for this is simple, it's a lot of art and time to reach the bottom floor of even a single dungeon, let alone multiple. But if you get to the 100th floor, you get a title that lets you skip floors so you only have to do half as much art. Focusing on one dungeon to get to the last floor and getting that title will make doing others much faster.


Lastly, I recommend checking the Dungeon Floor Guide and updating it with any information you might have, as it helps others going through the dungeons and could help you.


For Wanya spawning, I don't have a preferred recommendation as depending on your situation it might be better one way over the other. If Wanya appears and you have multiple characters in the image who's gotten him unlocked, you can either do the next image with all the spirits and Wanya, which is less work but you only get one reward, or if the spirits are drawn separately with Wanya each image, each will get the reward but that's more work, so it's up to you there on how much work you're willing to put in.


If I think of anything else to add I will!
