It's hard to set tactics here when you get everything randomly
Also don't stain the tactical/rpg series with your experience.
Able to complete 98% achievement within 30 hours.
The game maybe just not suit you doesn't mean it is bad.
If durian doesn't suit you then you have no right to judge durian.
Also, magic felt very strong to me. I haven't found a familiar I felt was useless so far. Though I will say primal water seems like it's the most over powered so far. And the fact we get a mana refill at the start of every battle room means we can thin out at least half of the enemies before they even get close. Or at least lower their shields enough to make them breakable in melee before they can attack.
(A) Why do you think using blink to avoid otherwise unavoidable damage is a failure mode? AFAICT that's exactly what you should be doing.
(A2) Even if you're not effectively farming extra blink charges with break, and you should, you still refill to 3 at the start(?) of a battle room.
(B) Being in the first day doesn't prevent using either in-run currency or out-of-run currency. I think I unlocked every shop during the first day, though the last two I only got on the run where I also completed the day.
(C) So far I have exclusively died when I was too resistant to using my elixir because I didn't know it was a renewable resource. It is, even within the run.
EDIT: Day 2, not so easy.
OP, reinstall the game and try it again. Yes, you are weaker at the start but you should have all the tools you need to get through. Are you using the same strategy each time? Try to change things up a bit.
Whatever weapon you start with, try and grab things that will support that weapon. Or if your weapon choices are bad, pick the best of the bunch and try to lean on your familiar skills more. Then try and grab things that will expand the power of the skills you are using. Don't take upgrades that don't directly support your 'build' unless you absolutely have to. You don't HAVE to take ANYTHING except a weapon. You don't have to take any familiars, you don't have to pick up anything else except the first weapon. You can skip things you don't think will help you. Once you get far enough you can even sell some things that you won't use.
Remember this is a turn based game. if you don't move/act the enemy doesn't either. Make them come to you. Use the traps in the game to your advantage. Once you encounter the elites and bosses you will learn their patterns and they become much more predictable and easier. Plan your actions so you don't have to rely on your blinks so much. Don't use your blinks out of hand, save them for real unavoidable damage or to get into a better position.
Yes, it's random, but more often than not that can work in your favor. I've had incredible runs where I absolutely demolished everything that stood in front of me, and the opposite too. Most times you can 'feel' how good a run is going to be depending on what you get from the start. If your weapon / familiar choice isn't working out, don't be afraid to return to base and start a new run.
Hope this helps! I think it's a really fun game with some good challenges. There's not many 'cheese' strats this game uses against you. Nearly every time I died I felt like an idiot for not seeing something the game clearly telegraphs.
The issue with the game is too much RNG, a big pool of useless weapons and relics, and very little room for synergies since you can't control what you get. So this is the kind of game that wants you to keep trying until you get lucky, instead of putting you in the driver seat.
After 11 hours i reached the witches but runs are now way too long in terms of time and i don't particularly enjoy the mechanics or the gameplay so i am basically tempted to just give up on the game. Main issue is that i dont feel like i am being clever or making good builds or tactics, it's just repetitive and too RNG based.
I think you should see the first time you play and the first save as an introduction or tutorial into the game.
You should be able to finish the first part of the game againts vlad consistently even with a new save.
You will lose more often once you open the new scenarios as losing is a part of the game, and like the first time you play, you should actually think of it as a introduction and a tutorial.
