This question refers to the recent Dungeon Raid update with character classes.
I know that "class levels" only come from killing special monsters. But is there a formula for how many special monsters you have to kill to get a trophy? My subjective (i.e. probably wrong) impression is that using Big Game Hunter doesn't help get trophies any faster (though of course it's great for "character levels", especially in conjunction with Masochism).

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.
