Completed 1mill score badge using Warrior and 7 challenges. Kept Pharmacaphobia and Faith Is My Armor turned off. An early Stone Plate and Ring of Arcana made me near invincible to physical damage. Struggled with food/magic in the Hells and had trouble finding a good weapon so finally pumped my upgrades and enchantment into Runic Blade. Used all my Ankhs and a lot of close calls, especially with eyes and scorpions, but in the end ascended!
Very challenging run that took every edge I could get with runes/scrolls/potions to complete.
I think i found it as +2 so 10 SoU used on it. The key is to just not use any SoU until you get a +2 tier-4 or +1 tier-5 weapon.
Follow me on Twitch as ive been streaming my 9 challenge attempts these past days so you can catch me online. https://www.twitch.tv/draw_to_life
I had a +6 war hammer on my completed 8 challenge run
+9 round shield i had in 9 challenge run that in I died to Yog. Had to invest SoU into round shield early game to get some bonus blocking.
