I completed this game by solely relying on this item:
in combination with those bowls and the barrel. In the end i hit my bottleneck in the endless mode cause i got jebaited by this ninja costume. It should have given me dodge but everytime it got canceled. Anyway it was really fun. (I fought the boss with av. 90 dmg)
I'm pretty new this was my 5th runthrough, so i might misunderstand the mechanics of dodge. Don't blame me ^-^
