Hey survivors, this is a very simple and generic guide on how to complete a match in less than 8:00 minutes. I wouldn't rush this super early game but you don't necessarily need to have maxed the Skill Tree either. If you're struggling with it, try to follow these simple steps or get back to it later once you've unlocked a few more Skills (+25%dmg, +20% area...etc). I've seen people completing matches with all sorts of Characters and even with Curses on, but I've decided to use The Necromancer with Curses disabled for my first attempt.

Stick around 'till the end for other characters builds

These are the two achievements you will unlock:

The sub 8:00 Achievements gives you 1 Runic Power, the sub 10:00 minutes Achievements unlocks The Elementalist class

Not mandatory but pretty solid easy Runes choices. Starting with 1 extra ability for early clear speed and dashing faster to pick-up exp and get into position; Focus Fire might take a while to unlock but the dmg output you get it's pretty insane.

Realistically there's only one simple step to the whole strategy. Head asap to a corner of the map, this is where enemies will spawn; they spawn at the borders of the map, so by being in a corner you'll be as close as possible to two spawning borders. You want to alternate sitting in place with looping around the edges of the screen to pickup exp. Depending on the class you chose you might want to focus on specific abilities but overall, just choose damage, area, exp magnet...Full glass-cannon dmg only. Avoid armor, block and health, we're not building for any late game.

This is my first try Necromancer build. It's easy. I went full on summon build because the Warriors and the Golems will walk around while the Archers and Mages will stick with you; once I saw that enough exp built up around the edges I would go collect it and come back to strategy spot.
Aim to get all summoning spells asap: Archers, Warriors, Golems, Mages... and maybe even Hounds. Void is also great to pull enemies together.

Here's some other builds with different characters, ALL first try without too much min-maxing; please feel free to comment with screenshots of your runs to help players!

It's the first ''guide'' I ever wrote, specifically to help new players, please be nice :)
Have a good grind!
