I just had my first challenge win (3 challenges) with the huntress. For me the key was to keep the rotberry seed instead of returning it to the old wandmaker. I went warden and absolutely abused the heck out of the free ring of grass from the rotberry seed. I must’ve planted that seed well over a hundred times in the run!
It’s specific to the rotberry plant. When you trample it you always get the seed back. Warden is just needed to make the plant actually beneficial. For other classes the rotberry plant just releases toxic gas rather than giving you strength and surrounding you with a ring of grass.
It’s a really fun play style. In my run I also found an elastic crossbow and I was using all the different darts with it. The crossbow does a lot more damage than the spirit bow if you upgrade it a lot. The darts open a ton of strategic possibilities too
You need darts. You can buy 2 in each shop. They never break but the tips wear out so you need to retip them with seeds. Well you don’t need to retip them if you just want to fire the crossbow, but tipping them is so powerful and useful! Paralysis, blind, poison, holy, are all great!

You can plant it more than once? Is that only with her?

Cool! I’ll have to try it out.

Does the crossbow fire on its own or do you need darts? I’m really new to the huntress and have always opted for other weapons on my other builds
