Off the top of my head, I can think of one Challenger type and one Tower Lord with a standard Evade effect. The No-Miss effect could be helpful for both. (Note that "Jump" effects will still avoid a No-Miss attack.)

Thanks! Well, as long as I can get the, heh, jump, on them! I dunno which Challenger it is, but I'm facing Purpuro now~! Will I win? Let's see!
Whelp, dang. their Dragoon Leap lasts a looong time, or I shouldn't have opened up with a Inevitabolt.
I don't even Check anyone now. the Curse makes any turns not spent attacking, quite detrimental.
If I don't have any ingredients I wanna buy, and I've got all the equips I want
... Can I buy Research with Tower Points?
Oh, some Wizard Oozes can speak! Heh!
And now I see Beatrix... Possible to do with Cursed Coronet, but not without improving my potions to make better bombs.
...
Holy shit. I got Death Clawed. WTF. ... *Checks* - Well, that's an accurate name. Hmm. Note to self, try to kill that first.
...
Okay, so Recycled Full Tonic doesn't give an X-Tonic back. Dang. Neither does X-Tonic give Hi-Tonic. So Hi-s are the best at healing.
Maybe offer post-battle healing if Brill possesses Restoration, but not if she's wearing Bumpy Road? I've been potioning between battles but that's ingredient inefficient. Only Poison's annoying. I've also seen the big white and black Lords, still never won. Got white to like 28hp, did a bad Gravity calc.
Now that I think about it, that'd be a good idea. I don't want to step on the Spell of Clear Thought's toes too much, but smaller amounts of Research probably wouldn't hurt.
Cursed Coronet will be a tricky option to use in the Tower; it's strong for Challengers, but Tower Lords will be rough. I'd run it with the Aeric Raiment so that you can cap the debuff at 50%. (Maybe I could make it so Check doesn't tick down the Cursed Coronet debuff...)
Yep, my Coronet strat right now for Lords uses the Raiment, and given all my Stone's Throws, I had Brill throw Molten Iron for another 1.5 Rock Wall boost. Not sure that stacks with Vim Crystal actually, but threw some Super Powder of Rock after for the best Rock Walls I could get.
Maybe gonna use the Gargoyle Wing to turn my 35% into 60% Heavy Gravity, if it works like how I think it does.
EDIT: My previous posts had some final thoughts that you might not have seen at the end.
I've gotten a chance to look at the final thoughts.
If the "black Tower Lord" is the Tower Lord I'm thinking of, that one's very hyper-focused on offense, but has some inherent "prep time" where he uses a certain move. Chilling him or speeding Brill up will probably help a lot; on the other hand, if you can land a Tinderspark+Quickburn on him, that alone can eat through a generous portion of his HP while you block his attacks. As for the "white Tower Lord", don't rely on Immunity potions and, if you have Wind potions, be ready to deflect his big attack (as he always has to "Prepare" it, which will reset deflect immunity).
The post-battle healing would be an interesting idea. Builds that rely on being at low HP might also benefit from an "HP to One" NPC in the first room. I'll think about it! Still figuring out the logistics of buyable research.
