== Strategies ==
=== General ===
The best strategy across all worlds and floors would be to reach the fifth row as soon as possible, but also kill as many enemies as possible during this process. Killing an enemy will always be better than going up a row, unless it will result in you taking damage to hearts.
Once you get to the fifth row, you can start cycling your Queens and begin making combos. As long as you never leave the fifth row, every move you make will promote another Pawn and essentially give you infinite Queens. This is why adding Cantrips and Splashes to your Pawns are so important, not only because you can attack enemies on the fourth row but also because it will only enhance the already powerful nature of the Queens.
=== Goblin Caves ===
Splashes on your Pawns are essential to deal with Nimble enemies, get as many Cantrips as possible since this world has nothing that can punish you for it.
=== Golem Fortress ===
Avoid buying any Cantrips, they will only become a liability on the last floor. Get as many Shields as possible regardless of the piece, but you shouldn't buy Splash on the rest of the pieces until you've maxed out your Pawns.
=== Foul Shrine ===
Focus on Cantrips and Shields across all pieces, Splashes are only to avoid wasting money since focusing on them too much will not only decrease your survivability but also cause you to unwillingly take out multiple enemies and end up damaging yourself.
