Noobs guide to the game.

To be able to survive later in the game you need the magic circle (slows enemies and boosts mana), the magic shield (saves your life) and teleport (for the traps). Use the purple magic missile and only upgrade potent missiles 1x to retarget. The rest just drains mana and reduces their effectiveness. Battle mage a siege mage are vital and but more missles and increases damages is equally important. It is best to restart the game a few times till the shop has good items and good skill upgrades (rush, battle mage, channel mana, magic circle, magic missile, and more missiles are all good choices) then use the three accounts to save items in the magic cabinet. Get 500x - 1000x gold find and you should be set. Those monsters become impossible and you need every bit of survivability and damage possible.
