My build is kinda a jack-of-all-trades: cudgels in melee, light manipulation and pyrokinesis at range. Trees help a bit but sometimes I really struggle with breaking the groups. It doesn’t help that my character isn’t up to level for this challenge and I’m too impatient to just leave it be for a bit.

Especially if you’re a mutant, you may have some “escape key” abilities already

I got Teleport from my buckler. Fantastic spell, it helps me a lot!
