Risk of Rain Returns - Judgement (Gold Rank, Mercenary)

Gold Rank: 16:40.0
My Time: 15:47.0
Merc struggles on the first two stages really badly, but after that it's smooth sailing. It's really funny how quickly he can kill Providence.
Note: Gold time is not required to get a Gold Rank on this trial, you only need to complete it with every character (besides Robomando) to get Gold Rank.

I'm curious: On both acrid and mercenary, you get predatory instincts and scythe, yet skip some or all glasses in favor of daggers. Why?

From my experience daggers have been proven better for DPS, especially on characters that don't have high attack speed. Also Predatory and Scythe are just arguably the best options on the shops they're in, as Energy Cell stacking is only viable on certain characters and Golden Gun isn't great in this challenge, and Scythe is the best option on both shops its in by miles.
Scythe and Predatory also give a non-stacking +5% crit, and Wicked Ring also gives +5%, at that point you already have +15% without glasses.
