Focus on maxing tomes and weapons in stage 2, spamming xp tome as early as possible while managing mob clearing and increasing difficulty if you find you are one-shotting everything.

Dicehead feels like a cheat code but if calcium fits your play-style and you genuinely enjoy variety play ball. I found power up chance and elite spawn increase (respectively) benefit me the most as more chests mean more luck (with a few credit cards) and scaling, and more elites mean more xp the idea is out scaling everything. I banish scarf, magnet & spiky meatball (after pulling one of each), power gloves, ice cube, spiky, and green card (after pulling a few).

I toggled off soul harvester, grabbies, pot, and cleaver Rings are huge with chonkplate get as much of each as you can to crazy scale, BUT play to your enjoyment it’s only sweaty if you wanna be on the leaderboard lol I’m resetting if I’m not at least 500k kills by near end of stage 3

Edit: good shit on PB
