Rules that win runs
- Dash through attacks, not away. Late sideways dashes beat charges.
- Status = buildup bar. Per-hit fills to 100%; decays between hits; can’t re-apply while active.
- Bleeding enemies take ~+50 bonus physical damage per hit.
- Dual wield: two of the same family (swords/daggers/wands) attack together, −40% damage and status per weapon.
- Unspent gold dies with you. Blessings > gear > savings.
- Potions at half HP, not at the grave.
- Unknown nodes are fights, not loot.
Fungi
| Use | Cost |
|---|---|
| Random blessing (trader) | 5 |
| Mimic Head upkeep | 1 / battle |
| Sell challenge maps | Earns fungi |
