How to earn Dungeon Raid’s Armed and Dangerous Achievment

Playing Normal mode, I've unlocked characters and levelled up classes fast(ish) using Big Game Hunter. You do need to kill a lot of special characters to level up classes, but in 8 games on the iphone, I have all classes unlocked, and the Mage levelled up to level 10.

I'd be intrigued to know what constitutes a high character level in a game on Normal mode? I tend to feel that hitting about 1000 turns, and character level of something over 200 is a good go - given that by that point all the items tend to be named things like 'legendary blah' and 'godly blah'.

In my experience the best combination of skills to get to this point is Heal, Repair, Dazzle and Big Game Hunter, with the Mage class. Shapeshifter's special ability plus Big Game Hunter means that you can kill a lot of special monsters fast.

Its worth trying out poison with elves, the racial bonus - half damage from poisoned enemies - allows you to play a game based more on endurance.

Poison is also useful when:

• There arent enough swords on the grid
• The meatshield special enemy is on the grid, as you can still damage normal skulls.
• Flame or Spike special enemys (as you dont have to touch them much)
• That special enemy that requires you to strike 3 in a row below it (forget the name!) - can still be poisonsed and damaged.
