Went for mostly the same build as my previous runs excluding a duplicator because I was forced into the candalabra. I was actually thinking that this was probably fine since Mortaccio passive is a duplicator anyway. Turned out to work out okay. I know someone else, I believe Dex, had already done this so I figured it wouldn't be a difficult one. It looks like our builds are mostly the same, he took bible instead of cross. In terms of items, I took the extra HP over the defense. I believe even though the extra HP is not a great item, allowing you to upgrade whip and give you sustain for the last 5 minutes is worth it. It's an investment.
