use the hunter bow with final skill of leaf, it's easy to get physical damage 120000+ per cri hit.
this made start with level 9 is not very hard.
some monster has physical damage reduction,like cat demon in old rotten burg,it has 99%,but no necessary to fight.
in lv9 convenient play,you should do:
choose master key in first.
no skip opening to get drake sword.
use S/L and shift to avoid enemy.
save goose and pick nearby ring.
see dorothy to get master key.
get hunter bow.
get princess frog's covenant in low lv,this is very important.
get +50 and +100 speed ring,+50atk ring
get 2 ore slab,1 is in snow white castle,easy to find,another is in old rotten burg,use invisibility powder to get it.
stealth collection,lead way to snow white castle,enter wonderland.
then sell anything you don't need,if you had a good collection you can make a drake sword+5 and near 300000 soul to build level
go to wonderland,focus on dark matter, equip drake sword and speed ring,use S/L and parry to defeat it,if feel speed is not enough you can fight rat in sewer to collect yellow soul.
make leaf to 100.learn final skill,defeat iron king is very easy.
slime in sewer drop ore shard.
guard in fort ivern drop large ore shard.
dark matter drop ore chunk.
improve hunter bow to +10,try to kill rabbit,each has 60000 soul and drop black souls.
first try is hard.
then nothing stops you.
hunter bow and final skill of leaf tortured almost everything.
when equipped rapunzel's ring and+20 cri chance ring,there is the deal:
call leaf,then evade.
leaf use divines wind to master.
maater turn,select thousand arrow twice,total damage can above 700000.
don't die?next turn.
maid victoria's final skill can make damage x2.so 1turn we can deal 1400000+damage.
so leaf sucks.she controls everything.
i prefer end 3 to beat her as a shit!
