High HP No-Curse Charmer
Romantic starts with +50 Max HP and gains +50 Range on melee weapons, but loses -3% Damage and -1 Armor per 5 Curse. The key: keep Curse at zero. Avoid all Curse items and cursed weapons. Use your enormous HP pool and extended melee range to stay safe while charming enemies below 25% health.
Curse accumulates +1 at end of each wave automatically — this is unavoidable. Accept the slow Damage/Armor decay and compensate with high base stats.

Expert Tips
Avoid every Curse item — each 5 Curse costs -3% Damage and -1 Armor permanently.
+50 Max HP base means tank items are extremely efficient.
+50 Range on melee weapons lets you attack from surprising distances — use kiting.
Charm enemies below 25% HP — they fight for you and reduce incoming damage.
