Notes

Fear ceiling: 32 Fear (entry-level). HackTheMinotaur reports a 70% clear rate at rank 1 even before the player optimizes. Keepsake rotation: Cloud Bangle (start) -> Iridescent Fan -> Engraved Pin -> Adamant Shard. The Mobalytics-featured 'Love and Thunder' combo by Vytautas pairs Aphrodite Heart Strike with Zeus on Special; take whichever Olympian rolls strongest, lock magick gain (Lucid Gain or Born Gain) in the second biome, and ensure two curses for Origination. The aspect's value is its lack of restriction. Pick this for the run after a tier list change to test which Olympian roster the new patch favors.
