I got the sword of flames. I slash through enemies now.

Flames. The lategame enemies seem to rely more on being able to cut them up before my invincibility potions run out, so ++damage it is.

I used the Sword of Flames because it is what I had access to. It seemed fine, life wasn't anything I really felt the need to have too much of.

Sword of Life because it was the only option at the time and I always go for more health buffs when given the option.

Kind of regretting it in the late game though.

Summoning. Having a meat shield (candy shield?) is pretty nice, especially when fighting ghosts since they do no damage to my familiar. Though not always the biggest help like when fighting the dragon or something.

Life is probably the worst sword in this game. I thought it would regen HP per hit, but it only gives you something if you kill an enemy. Late game encounters have so few guys to cut through that it hardly helps at all. Flames would seem to be where it's at.

I'm assuming life is leading because everyone seems to be missing out on the scrolls. Not many would choose the scrolls over 3x the candies or lollipops.
