Hi everyone,

I'm not great at shattered and haven't played much since the duelist was introduced.

This run got me an early RoF and then a recent RoW. I haven't used any upgrade scrolls yet. Not a ton of great equipment. How do I play this? Brawler's stance seems pretty great, especially if I find a weapon with a lame special attack.

Yes, I try to hold onto the first three scrolls, although sometimes I feel like it bites me in the ass. Not so on this (still ongoing) run.

What's the current strat for final armor? I feel like it used to be +4 plate for any character, basically.

    It usually will bite you. Skeletons in the Prison will destroy you if you don’t use upgraded armour. The explosion damage is doubly-reduced by armour, so you don’t need many upgrades to neutralize it, but +0 armour is not good enough.

    Also note that upgrades to armour reduce the strength requirement like this +1, +3, +6, +10 for -1 to -4 strength requirement respectively. As an aside, this sequence is known as the triangular numbers:
