Fastest playthroughs / lowest stats

This time shouldn't be too hard for someone to beat.

(ver 1.00)

During development the bosses were playtested 1v1 while having stats of: 12 Lifeblood, 12 Energy, 12 Strength, 12 Technique, 12 Restoration and a Longsword. So defeating all of them while having much lower stats than this run should be possible.

Not exactly speed run, but i tried to beat game without putting any points into damage :D (1 point into technique was by accident)
Bosses were tough with this strategy, since they killed all my allies pretty quickly. I just had to hope that i find some high level life drain and minerals to make this work.

Well done, I've never played the game like that relying on allies to that degree while having no player damage, that's kinda untested territory. I sort of tried to build the bosses around combating different playstyles, but I don't know whether it turned out like that. After a quick double check it seems like they all chew through your allies at fairly different rates, surprisingly the northern boss seems to be the one who is the poorest at killing your allies despite firing 10 billion projectiles. While the eastern boss is the best at it, however the eastern boss was designed to fall quickly to builds with high Energy/Frenzy so it's balanced like that.

Using lifedrain on bosses sounds like some silly gameplay though lol, maybe I shouldn't have allowed that. I think I prevented bosses from being rot (poisoned) because I like to avoid tedium. But then again, having freedom in playstyles for the sake of fun is a good thing too.
