Numbers by floor
Every enemy is a multiple of the floor's standard enemy (health x1.2, attack x0.9, armor x4), and each one's health varies by up to 8% either way.
| Floor 11 | Floor 15 | Floor 20 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Health | 299 | 964 | 4165 |
| Armor | 63 | 181 | 671 |
| Attack | 30 | 80 | 273 |
| Heavy | 60 | 160 | 546 |
Gold  | 12 | 25 | 63 |
Gold includes the 10% more every kill pays while the depth's Tally is posted (a guided first depth has none), and is before gold find. From turn 11 of any fight every enemy grows 15% stronger each turn.
What it leaves
Gold, and 10% of the time an item: gear, a tonic, a flask or a tome. A dropped piece of gear is etched a quarter of the time.
