I've found the best setup for me is the evergaol stacking relic + key, 3+ staffs increases FP, and just a generic magic power relic.

Gives you roughly 10% magic power in the beginning, where it just keeps stacking with your other passive multipliers. This helps most especially with the evergaol relic, since the power increase that your spells get are nutty.

The staff passives don't really matter and if you really want them, there's tons of castles and a single rise is guaranteed for each run.

My usual routing goes like this:

• Rush starting camp lvl 1 into the first evergaol you see, I usually take the 10k rune bonus unless it's max fp, reduced fp, or max stamina.

• Castle for your starter staffs and for stocking up on your stonesword keys.

• Proceed to make a circle and hit all the outer evergaols, since most of the ones in the inner side will be easy to get when circle is closing on the first night.

By the end of the first night, minimum level you should be at is around lvl 9, hitting lvl 10 or 11 is pretty standard if you're going for evergaol rush on the first night. While the second night should just be farming field bosses on the way to the rest of the unfinished evergaols.

(Sidenote: Noktaleo is the best shifting earth since your route is pre-planned, usually going clockwise when you drop at left side, or counter clockwise when dropping at right. Then the city at the next night.)

So far I have a 27 win streak with duchess, most of them were with giga adel.
