One Step From Erasure
0Hoo boy... Dark Cross Runs are the most extreme runs you can get. lmost no HP means you are destined to perish for even a single slip-up, but then again, you're half meant to. Once you do, you are invulnerable for ten seconds and deal stupid damage to opponents, both with your Emergency Weapon and Spells. As it already starts with some Slashfik, building disposable Kunais is one of the better options, due to their ability to capitalize on that 'Ten Seconds of Godhood'. Trinity might be a good option too, for the same reason, and if you feel you're gonna get nothing but hit, stack in some Phalanx~
Just don't expect to get the Soul Food Artifact; while it could be helpful, your HP resets to 1 every time you kick the Mega Bucket, overwriting your hard work rising out of the hole. Besides, you are compensated twice over for being this way. One, free access to the Dark World for more cash and rare Cards! Two, and let's face it, even if you played immaculately past Area 6 and got Soul Food early, enemies easily deal over 150 damage a pop in the later areas, so all the health you'd have is near worthless anyway.
