Fox - Scale Early (With Early Unlocks)

Firestaff (Fox starter) provides safe ranged AOE damage. Lightning Staff chains between enemies for excellent coverage. Aura creates 360° defensive zone. Bananarang adds consistent chip damage with boomerang returns. All four scale well with Quantity Tome. Focus on whatever weapons appear with Legendary/Epic rarity - Fox's luck passive ensures better weapon upgrade quality.

Key (10% free chest opens) is CRITICAL - find Microwave to duplicate for exponential scaling. Clover (+7.5% Luck) + Credit Card Green (+2 Luck per chest) stack with Fox RNG Blessing (+15% Luck passive) for maximum luck. Echo Shard & Time Bracelet boost XP yield for faster leveling. Moldy Cheese (+40% poison) for DOT. Battery (+8% attack speed) and Turbo Socks (+15% movement speed) for mobility. High luck = legendary items from chests by Stage 2-3.

XP Tome (S-Tier, +9% XP/level) is MANDATORY for rapid scaling - highest priority. Luck Tome essential for compounding Fox's passive (better upgrade rarities = better items). Quantity Tome (S-Tier) adds +1 projectile/level across all weapons. Cooldown Tome (S-Tier) increases attack speed. Goal: max all tomes to 99 and weapons to 40 by Stage 3. Activate all difficulty skulls - more enemies = more XP/gold. Target 300k+ kills by endgame.
