Floor 64: 28,000 dmg 1st hit
over 55,000 dmg 2nd hit.
2x haste on the shield, 3x rage on cleaver, 3x gold whetstone
gemstone heart and the candle are lifesavers since doing 101 attacks last time I checked.
started off as a poison arrow build until floor 12 when I finally got the candle and was able to build full cleaver. Minor bugs that seem to happen are that the Hercule Pavise doesn't like to transfer the adjacent weapons are used through the duct tape and I nearly died on floor 20ish when I replaced a 2x2 shield that adds +1 to dmg to adjacent weapons on use for additional duct tape and cleavers. Haven't been brave enough to move it since. 1st chef hat was on about floor 40 and I've been debating about throwing away the gold for food to trade away at the chef ? event for a cleaver rather then searching shops and raising hp. currently each attack can take about a minute to complete to resolve all the effects. I've also found that its a good idea to swap the duct tape around after loading a save or when adding a new one just to make sure that they get properly used else they sometimes will not properly duplicate the effect to adjacent spots.
TL:DR I'm loving the duct tape with cleaver builds and quite enjoying the game
