- Consider equipping weapons that hit multiple enemies, such as Boomerangs or Whips, to maximize the impact of your offensive abilities.
- Armour that reduces spell damage or provides resistances can be very useful, especially against magic-heavy enemies.
- The Mask of Implacability offers the highest Defense value for helmets, making it a strong late-game choice.
