The question that remains is: which tier? To win consistently, you need to find a balance between timing and power. The game strategy that has the most success for me is to put all upgrades into one weapon (not wand or boomerang!). This section covers the game plan that has the most success for me. And of course, only eat if you need health and are starving. A full-heal dew vial can give you some time to recover in this situation. In some battles you may find that the opponent damages you so much that they outdamage your healing potions (looking at you, rotting fist). In combat you can make most use of the overheal. In combat health potions have the biggest effect, especially because they overheal over time. Later in the game you might want to save up some dew drops to bless ankhs. You can also use the dew vial to heal little bits, this is especially important for the sewers because you probably have little health potions or sungrass seeds. When you are out of combat and need hp to avoid getting killed by traps or ranged enemies, use a sungrass seed if you can (hold the wait button to sleep). There are three main methods of healing: healing potions, dew vial and sungrass seeds. Late game will be covered later in the guide. Generally though, you should be able to pull yourself through late game without any issues.

Late game is not as big of a threat, if you do not know what you're doing, the late game can be very punishing. Playing a perfect sewers (and prison) is the key to a successful run. You must play this focused because this area is very sensitive to mistakes, one tiny mistake could cost you the game. The very start of the game, the sewers are really important. Only pick sniper if you are going for a pure boomerang run. Huntress: Warden always works, not very strong though. Pick freerunner if you have a ranged weapon like whip. Rogue: Assassin is really strong and gives you that extra 20% damage for your oneshots, carries you through the game with any tier 3. Mage: Warlock always works, only pick battlemage if you want to do a pure wand run. Warrior: Berserker is always good, gladiator is weird because you're trying to one-shot people with surprise attacks. Mage is a very fun class, but the early game is very lacking and therefore I do not recommend the mage. Warrior has powerful gear and Huntress can get in a lot of boomerang hits if you play it smart. Warrior and Huntress are the next classes I can recommend. There are more hard counters that the cloak provides but these are not in the early game and therefore relatively irrelevant. The Rogue's cloak allows for many surprise attacks (also against crabs!) and direct counters to: Wraiths, Gnoll Trickster, Great Crab, Goo, Vinelashers (rotberry quest) and Tengu. In SPD the early game (sewers & early prison) is the most essential and important part of the game. This guide will be applicable to every class, but I recommend using the Rogue. Learn from those moments! When you die because you didn't have enough health potions, it's more difficult to find out what went wrong, typically it's because you didn't utilise surprise attacks enough.

Usually this is something like, greed or a mechanic you didn't expect. If you ever die think about what went wrong. In this guide I will cover the following subjects:

Warning: This guide gives relatively deep insights of optimal strategies (according to me) and might spoil the fun. I have also played in the Shattered beta so I can provide information on the new alchemy system too.

These are my findings and you are free to do whatever you want with them. You may not agree with some things in this guide. If you haven't, make sure you have read a beginner's guide (the in-game adventurer's guide is very good!) To understand this guide I recommend that you have at least beaten the game once. Side note: I am working on a commentated gameplay video that will hopefully illustrate the ideas that I present in this guide. If I think of more things to cover I might make another guide. This is a guide covering some advanced techniques that I've learnt and developed in my time playing the game. An Intermediate/Advanced Shattered Pixel Dungeon Guide
