Alpha:Thief
Needs Content: Everything. Also a better need's content banner thingy.
Skills
- Stabber - Your first attack against a monster does +30% damage
- Hoarder - +33% more items on map (+1 of each: Health Powerup, Mana Powerup, Attack Powerup, Skill Glyph, Health Potion and Mana Potion)
- Survivor - Potions restore both health and mana
General Strategy
The +30% damage on your first strike could become tricky to calculate because of Attack Powerups and Human Glyph Conversions. Hover your mouse cursor on the Attack icon to display Base Damage and Damage Bonus. It's essential to have the correct calculation when you plan on beating a high level monster. When you are about to drink a potion, be sure that you have exhausted both your Health and Mana so that you don't waste the potion's effects.
Race and Deity Choices
Since potions have exactly the same effects for a Thief, being a Halfling and being a Gnome are essentially the same thing.
Challenge Modes
Crypt: Having the Glowing Guardian early on will make this a breeze using either a Halfling or a Gnome thief. Simply pile up your potions until you can face the bosses while getting a huge power boost from Glowing Guardian. The bosses will easily go down with fireballs and melee attacks. Just make sure that you first bring down BOTH, your health and your mana, before you use a potion and you should be able to clear out the whole crypt.
Without Glowing Guardian things can get a bit nastier. Jehora Jeheyu and the Pactmaker are always helpful, Taurog will power you up but will leave you without helpful fireballs. Tikki Tokki nets you an extra potion and Dodge Bonus and of course you can try an magic only run with Mystera Annur.
Without Glowing Guardian it will be a big help to make your attacks magical to beat the Tormented One
