Having started off with Storm+ -> Echo Form I can just take my time trivially and let my orbs wear it down as I scale, then finish with a massive Echo'd Thunder Strike. Pressure Points+/Crescendo/Crippling Cloud. Discarded Attack Potion for Essence of Darkness.

Defragment+, Dolly's Mirror (Defragment+). Dual Wield/Quick Slash/Foreign Influence. Pressure Points/Blood for Blood/Streamline. I considered taking 999 Gold as there were two merchants prior to the burning elite, and a relatively easy path to them, but at 11 HP I need the Pantograph trigger. I'm going to take the path to the burning elite that has as many unknown rooms as possible, to reduce the chances that something goes catastrophically wrong in a hallway or elite fight. I'm walking a razor wire because of Ghost event. I have no keys, so I MUST take the burning elite path here. Boss is Time Eater, which is fine, I scale pretty quickly. Echo Form and Apparitions saved this run from going into the dumpster. There's a Runic Capacitor for sale, but that would've meant forgoing Mummified Hand, so I don't feel bad about it. The only thing I can afford is a Steam Barrier, and meh. Mummified Hand, Block Potion, Focus Potion. I probably lose this run unless a miracle happens. That was a really devastating fight, now I need to path away from the burning elite. Outmaneuver/ Foreign Influence+/Evaluate. Prismatic Shard, Bag of Preparation, Charge Battery. Preserved Insect and the general strength of my deck means I'm going to try to be as aggressive as possible. I even have an option to path away from that burning elite if the first elite did too much work on me. I feel strong enough that I'm going to take the burning elite this act instead of putting it off for Act 3. Fortunately, there's a path that gives me a shop and a campfire right before an elite, then another burning elite.

I want to hit up a shop early on to make use of my 283 gold and Membership Card. I really do need energy generation now, though, so I'll keep an eye out for Turbo/Recycle or energy relics at shops. The Leaps alone honestly make that tradeoff worthwhile (4 Defends -> 2 Leaps), that I get energy generation, physical damage scaling, orb scaling, AND Echo Form on top of that?! This makes my gamble on Seek really really good as now I have a higher chance of pulling Echo Form on a safe turn. Pandora's Box nukes four Strikes and four Defends and gives me: Double Energy/Barrage/Leap/Thunder Strike/Echo Form/Leap/Doom & Gloom/Go for the Eyes. Sacred Bark doesn't do much without a potion relic.

Between Consume and Static Discharge, I won't have empty orb slots, so Cracked Core is out. I have no energy generation so Multi-Cast is worthless. With this much Focus and consistent Frost, I don't have an urgent need for Buffer. Note: I'm not resting because I have Pantograph, which will bring me to 63 HP for the boss. Because I'm running a bunch of Frost, Static Discharge is actually a defensive mitigation - if they can break through my block then the new Zap can potentially consume a Frost and allowing me to block part of the upcoming damage.

I took too much damage here and now can't afford to go on the triple elite path, so I opt for the double campfires/double elite path instead. Membership Card, Ball Lightning, Glacier.
