Stack Demon Form and Limit Break, then dump multiplied damage through Bludgeon and Perfected Strike. Ice Cream smooths the multi-Power turns; Paper Phrog turns Bash into a 25-damage hammer swing.

Notes

This is the reference Strength build after the v0.100.0 Hellraiser closure. Pivot priority: Demon Form first, then Limit Break, then any multi-hit dump. Burn two turns on setup if you see Demon Form in Act 1 -- the payoff scales linearly with how early you land it. Skip Strike removal until you have Perfected Strike upgraded; the Strike count becomes a scaling stat in its own right. Ascension 6+ Inflation makes card removal expensive, so commit to cards you plan to keep.
