Tips from someone who beat the game

Finally beat the game after 7 hrs, this is my guide.
* Focus on survival: This is the biggest thing. No matter how strong 
  your build is, one mistake will end your run.
* As stated above, focus on picking the lesser of two evils rather than 
  the stronger of two upgrades.
* Firepower never hurts, even if it gives you a higher spread, being able 
  to kill the king, or a strong threat quickly will increase success.
* Remember to use your souls for escapes.
* Assassination seems to be the wisest strategy as you are guaranteed to 
  get overwhelmed in later floors if you don’t kill the king quick enough.
* Think about tempo, anything that saves you a turn is helpful and anything 
  that costs you a turn is harmful.
 
Not a fan of the sniper/scope for this reason.
* Grenade is trash.
* Some upgrades do not stack.




Forbidden Card Pairs Guide:
---------------------------
Written by Alan

Having trouble getting certain achievements? 
Theocracy never showing up? It’s not just bad RNG.

-=Intro=-
Have you struggled to get the Theocracy card? Have the Trigger Happy 
and Mobility achievements eluded you? Well, there might be a reason 
for that.

Certain cards are mutually exclusive with one another, so if you 
have one, none of the others will show up.

-=Theocracy Cards=-
The following cards are mutually exclusive with Theocracy:

* Ritual Dagger.
* Secret Heir.
* Note that Ritual Dagger and Secret Heir are not mutually exclusive with 
each other. Having either one will prevent Theocracy from appearing, but 
will not prevent the other from appearing.

-=Right Click Cards=-
The following cards are mutually exclusive with each other, because their 
trigger (right-click) would conflict:

* Royal Loafers.
* Unjust Decree.
* Kingly Alms.
* Engraved Scope.

If you’ve struggled to draw Royal Loafers for Mobility, Unjust Decree for 
Trigger Happy, Kingly Alms for Demolition, or Engraved Scope for Sniper, 
this might be why.

How to Reload Better:
---------------------
Created by Himsl Games YT

Have you ever wondered when you regenerate a bullet? 
It’s when you are neither attacking nor reloading.

That’s right, it’s not based on some kind of hidden timer. The way you 
generate ammo is by not reloading. Sadly you can’t stop the king from 
reloading when he has just one bullet, and thereby failing to generate 
more ammo. The trick is to not shoot for a few turns, and never let the 
ammo get so low that your king will reload a single bullet.

Red Gem doubles the amount of bullets you regenerate, making it harder to 
fall into the reloading one bullet at a time trap. But it still only 
generates bullets under the same circumstances … when you aren’t attacking 
or reloading.

Small Fry and Ammo depot are good cause they award you ammo while shooting.

Wand of Frenzy and Secret Mission are great, because they reload your ammo 
and give you full ammo, so you can save yourself with those. Also Secret 
mission seems to be the only way to regen grenades.

Anything that allows you to get extra turns give you a chance to reload or 
regen a bullet, if you don’t attack, so that’s additional ways to load your 
guns. Reload your gun while performing a taunting hop, it’s very useful.
