Notes

Lanista's Souleater is useful for depleting one's own HP to boost the power of Razzle-Dazzle. To make it work better, one may need to level up their seeq as a Berserker due to their excellent HP growth. Souleater and Sword of Darkness are preferable against the troublesome Sprites and Banshees.
