You win after defeating 10 bosses.
Ofuda
Choose carefully what ofuda you will apply on which character.
Wether you are in Pilgrimage mode or Festival mode, Ofuda and weapons have synergies that are key to overcome the most difficult enemies.
There are offensive and defensive Ofuda.
Some of them have surprising side effects.
Learn how to balance them effectively to finish your run!
Pet System
If you are lucky some enemies will drop eggs uppon dying.
These eggs are very precious, they contain a companion :D
However, for the egg to hatch, you will need to carefully take care of it. Traverse at least two rooms without breaking the egg and it will hatch!
Pets are of a great help against regular enemies and even bosses. When used properly, they can clear an entire room without you lifting the finger.
