I pushed Tinker Town pretty far on the faction weekend and decided to finish it up, working with 100 hoard and no kingdom bonuses. Non faction was pretty easy with Urskaya + Tesla + Harpy Mage + Tesla (sentinel).
I figured I’d give pure faction at least one go and then decide if I’d push it out wait for better bonuses.
My plan going in was to have Tink in slot 3 and maintain a smash in slot 4, hoping to build it up and loop while praying for no self destruct.
First room was easy as I played it conservatively and let them blow themselves up. Second room was spiders so I just focused on the ones that spawn and eventually beat the room.
The third room was full of fungi–I was worried giant toadstool would turn Tink and end the run. It didn’t get Tink, but rather my smasher is slot 4.
Change of plan.
Got to boss room and got REALLY lucky and turned Tink into a toadstool on the first cast. It was really easy–and quick–cleaning up after that. My first finished faction!
I don’t recommend this route
