Yeah never hit hero with this char. I always struggle to level up once I get near hero and it doesn't help with my sometimes sporadic play times as I have to rely on others in that range. As a result its harder to get a good run going unless I fall lucky.
Also I didn't nightgaunt anyone in the end. Being in Empire I didn't want to gaunt someone who may have been inside a city and pre hero I just ran around fairly openly with my demon or devils.
If I do conjurer again I would consider going solo so I suffer no restrictions and align with who I want.
