2. 🏆 Current Record and Recommended Weapons
- ✅ The current legitimate record is 1.8 million kills.
- ✅ In the author's run, Flame Walker, Dexecutioner, Black Hole, and Katana were used.
- ✅ Aura is recommended instead of Flame Walker for its FPS improvement and utility in the early game.

3. ✨ Metatones and Optimal Difficulty
- ✅ The recommended metatones are luck, XP, cursed tome, and size.
- ✅ There is no luck limit, making it valuable in the mid to late game.
- ✅ The ideal difficulty at the end of a run is a debatable topic, with rumors that 250% is almost as good as 1400%.

4. 🔓 Unlocks and Legendary Banning Strategy
- ✅ The most important legendary unlocks are Magnet, Anvil, and Joe's Dagger.
- ✅ The goal is to ban all legendaries except Worldo and Joe's Dagger.
- ✅ Anvil auto-bans after one, and Sucky Magnet has no limit, but one is enough.

5. 🗡️ Joe's Dagger and Zel Worldos Strategy
- ✅ The ultimate goal is to accumulate 10 to 20 Joe's Daggers.
- ✅ After obtaining enough Joe's Daggers, ban them to farm Zel Worldos.
- ✅ Zel Worldos allow you to survive beyond 60 minutes, as the extra time ghost waves kill instantly.

6. 💡 Lamps, Character, and Recommended Map
- ✅ It is possible to obtain more than two lamps if a shopkeeper sells an additional one.
- ✅ The recommended character is the Bandit, as it scales well with attack speed.
- ✅ The choice of map depends on personal preference, but most prefer the forest due to its lower difficulty.

7. 🗺️ Map Strategies: Desert vs. Forest
- ✅ The desert is flatter and offers additional XP from the tumbleweeds, but the mobs and bosses are more difficult.
- ✅ The forest is easier in terms of mobs, but the desert may be preferable for experienced players.
- ✅ In the desert, try to synchronize the swarm wave with the boss shrine to obtain power-ups.

8. 💰 Pathing, Upgrade Priorities, and Ghost Wave
- ✅ Start at the edge of the map and move towards the center, breaking every pot along the way.
- ✅ Do not save gold to open chests later; the items from the chests help you survive longer.
- ✅ Prioritize upgrades such as XP, luck, difficulty, elite spawns, projectile count, and damage.
- ✅ The goal is to become infinite at the end of the tier one boss at the start of the ghost wave.
