Hearth upgrade priorities

The five most important Hearth upgrades, in order, are:

  1. Level 4 — Familiar Slots +1: lets you run 3 Familiars. This is the biggest power spike in the early game.
  2. Level 5 — Broom Smithy: unlocks broom crafting, the second-biggest power spike.
  3. Level 6 — Familiar Slots +2: two more Familiars, total 5. Crucial for late-game.
  4. Level 8 — Coven Shrine: free Coven switching.
  5. Level 10 — Spire Gate: fast travel to the final boss.
