 '''Recommended Races''': Any except {{r|Goblin}}. The dungeon is long and experience is plentiful, including options for additional experience to trigger level-up catapults; this makes the Goblin's bonus largely useless here. As a lot of fighting will happen at L10, the {{r|Human}} is slightly better than the {{r|Orc}} for purely melee builds (though the Orc can still be better for builds relying heavily on knockback damage). {{r|Gnome}} or {{r|Elf}} can work equally well, as there are additional Mana Potions available in the Arena. The same goes for {{r|Dwarf}} or {{r|Halfling}}.
-'''Recommended Classes''': Wizard, Monk
+'''Recommended Classes'''<br>
+The {{c|Wizard}} does not suffer from the inventory constraints as much as other classes, making it probably the best class for a spell-casting approach. Sample build: {{ElWi}} of Mystera. Alternatively try the Gnome Sorcerer of Mystera.<br>
-''wip''
+The {{c|Monk}} has high physical resistance and is able to efficiently regenerate in the limited blackspace available in the Arena. Sample build: {{OrMo}} of Binlor. Alternatively try the Orc Paladin of Binlor.<br>

-Regen-fighting is the word here. Poison is useful, as are mid-battle level-ups using the corner enemies. The piece de résistance in the boss gauntlet is usually the Tower of Goo and its 75% physical resistance: you'll need to either save a lot of mana for this battle, or bring a lot of resistance erosion to it. If it's not him it'll be Frank the Zombie, who has high stats and is immune to poison. For pure caster builds it's The Iron Man with his 75% magic resistance.

The objective is to get base damage to achievement levels (150+); this makes poisonless regen-fighting a doable strategy.

-{{c|Half-Dragon}} - After enough item conversions, the half-dragon can do even more damage per strike than an orc rogue, without HP difficulties, and easily kills bosses with physical or magic resistance. Hit the bosses into each other, or into other enemies; try to hit low damage bosses into high-damage ones to get a head start. Prep the Dragon Shield and do anything that raises resists or base damage, and convert everything you don't need. Prep Binlor (for piety farming, knockback bonus and a bit of magic resist), Dracul (for {{boon|Blood Shield}} mostly, though all of his boons will do you a bit of good), or {{g|Taurog}} (for resists and piety farming); if you don't worship {{g|Dracul}} switch to him in the arena for {{boon|Blood Shield}}.

 Naga City is considered to be the most difficult of the directional Vicious dungeons (with only Vicious Gaan-Telet surpassing it). The monsters are tough; there are many bosses, each with different abilities, so each character will have difficulty facing at least one of them; and more importantly, the arena is separated from the main map, and it is impossible to return after descent. As difficult as the main map might seem, the real challenge is the arena, and the top part should be viewed as a preparation area designed to equip the player with the resources needed to beat the Arena. Some things to consider:
-* Do not use any expendable resources on the main map. Save everything you can for the Arena.
