Reached tower floor 100 with a budget 1h mage build (all magnificient sub 335 pxp0 gear, which makes upgrades pretty cheap, except 336pxp0 waki). Only got 3 voulchers this season from fosing: I mismanaged some money, sure, but i doubt i'll ever get 4 in a 6 month season even if I play the entire season again but without questionable decisions.
Rank went up from 93rd to 38th, there were a few people on the last couple floors, although not sure if we actually gonna hit 100 people to floor 100 by the end of the season.
My final deprecating spell setup for hardest floors was: get everything weakened first then start going sleep-magNet-silence-slow until everything gets magneted, silenced and slowed; inbetween cooldowns stall with imperils. Should've been using sleep much earlier, but i didn't want to do the stalling thing. Well, it turns out not only is sleep insanely good defensively, but it is also a magNet for magNet, so with it debuff phase becomes shorter, not longer (at least if you're going for 100% coverage).
Overall, wasn't as hard as I expected, since it appears difficulty increases by proportionally smaller amount, so there weren't any difficulty spikes like floor 40 to 50. And there aren't many things to die from, i can only identify four:
1) Hp bug - probably died the most from it, until i got into habit of checking my hp before starting challenge.
2) Accidentally double casting and getting sparked after first cast - the way i mitigate that is by bringing extra life scrolls and recasting those whenever i notice im on normal spark. You can also play slower, i guess, or maybe not bind anythind to scroll wheel.
3) Getting stamina drained to below spark threshold in a single turn - i just increased minSP in monsterbation settings from auto to 0.5. That value worked for me.
4) Lose too much SP while SP potion and elixir are on CD: thats the main way you feel the difficulty, and the best way to mitigate that is to use more deprecating spells. Sleep is especially good. I barely had any close calls after i started using sleep. Another thing that helped is getting juggernaught iw. I only got 14 levels across 3 gear pieces, but it felt more impactful than I anticipated. I kept it as a last resort, but maybe getting everything IW'd early would be a better idea to make clears more comfortable.
If you were having trouble, I hope this helps.
