YAVP: Merfolk Abyssal Knight
!! EDIT !!. Ascended with a later version of this character, see last post.
Hi, first post.
I am a fairly newbie newb, and after trying demonspawn transmuters over and over again, and never getting past Lair, I switched to a Merfolk Abyssal Knight. I admittedly cheese the early game by farming the starting Abyss for an abomination I can kill from deep water.
My current character is going alright, and I managed to stumble across TWO scrolls of acquirement. The first, I wished for a weapon, and I received a demon trident of venom, but I have no idea what to do with the second. I also wanted to ask for general advice. I'm open to all comments and suggestions.
I tend to get to about this point, and then the character runs out of steam. Can't dish out enough damage, and ends up being too fragile. This time I've started investing in armor. I had thought I could get by with dodge and spells, but that didn't seem possible.
Advice? Comments? Thanks!
