2. 🔑 Strategies for Stage Two: Maximum Difficulty and Chest Prioritization
- ✅ In stage two, it is crucial to reach maximum difficulty as soon as possible during the Ghost Wave.
- ✅ Every chest on the map must be opened.
- ⚠️ Obtaining the correct items in this stage is vital for success; otherwise, it is recommended to restart the game.
- ✅ To exceed 500k points, it is necessary to maximize the difficulty in stage two.
- ✅ Games that exceed 800k points reach this level quickly and obtain exceptional items.

3. 🚫 Banish Priorities and the Impact of the 'Pot' Item
- ✅ The priority of banishes has changed; no longer are all purple items that are not green cards banished.
- ⚠️ The only purple item that is consistently banished is the Spiky Shield.
- ✅ The new meta focuses on obtaining as many 'Pots' as possible.
- ✅ Some players are saving their banishes for legendary items in order to maximize the acquisition of 'Pots'.
- ✅ Some players banish Ice Cubes even before obtaining one, possibly due to how the order of the items affects crowd control in the game.

4. ✅ Items to Activate and Banish: Detailed Guide
- ✅ Green Items: Activate Key and Cursed Doll.
- ✅ Blue Items: Activate Idle Juice and Echo Shard. The flying meta has been replaced by the 'Pot' meta.
- 🚫 Purple Items: Do not activate any, but banish Spiky Shield.
- ✅ Legendary Items: Activate Magnet, Lightning Orb, Anvil, Stole Harvester, Joe's Dagger and Pot.
| Item | Reason |
|---|---|
| Key | Microwaving keys is crucial due to the high cost of chests. |
| Idle Juice | Doubles damage if you stand still and stacks well. |
| Echo Shard | Necessary to level up the 'Pot'. |
Legendary Banishes:
- Meatball (4), Harvester (1), Magnet (1), Power Gloves (0), Ice Cubes (0), Buggy Shield (0).
- A flexible banish for Lightning Orb or Mirror, depending on luck.
- Some players banish Zardo after obtaining several due to its low return rate on kills per object.

5. 📚 Tome Selection: Burst, XP, Chaos and More
- ✅ The three tomes present in the top 10 games are: Burst, XP and Chaos.
- ✅ The final tome is Crit Tome or Damage Tome.
- ✅ A Spaceman game opted for Crit and Damage instead of XP, as Spacemen do not need XP.
05:14 - 06:26
6. ⚔️ Weapon Prioritization: Katana, Dexecutioner and the Resurgence of Chunkers
- ✅ In the 'Pot' meta, weapons are almost as important as items.
- ✅ The two must-have weapons are the Dexecutioner and the Katana.
- ✅ The Katana scales incredibly well due to the additional levels of the 'Pot', covering the screen with damage.
- ✅ The Dexecutioner remains one of the most powerful weapons.
- ✅ Surprisingly, Chunkers are now viable and even good, appearing in three of the top 10 games.
06:27 - 07:50
7. 💥 Analysis of Chunkers and Final Considerations on Weapons
- ✅ Chunkers are useful for their knockback up to 20 minutes.
- ❓ The question is whether their usefulness is sufficient compared to other weapons such as the Axe or Fire Walkers, which inflict more damage.
- ✅ To exceed 800k points, it is necessary to survive close to 30 minutes in the Ghost Waves, which decreases the usefulness of the Chunkers.
- ✅ Dragon's Breath also appears in the top 10, but is not considered as relevant.
