Since inventory space is so limited, you're not gonna be able to kill everything if all the enemies get 1st turn and break your armor before you get a chance to move.
More or less the late game strategy is
Triple enchant weapon and armors
Summon mobs and surround yourself so you can 1v1 enemies(If enemy is ranged you can skip this since ranged attacks don't deteriorate armor unless they crit)
Death, Death, Death, Touch, Self to get +7 more damage(Can use fire in place of death)(You don't need this if your weapon is already 8 base damage before enchant, lower depending on mob)
Swap equips as they break
CEX attack so you kill the enemies with 2 hits.(With triple enchant Sabre or Stilleto vs Frostworms)
Death, Death, Death, Touch, Self to recover CEX(Can use fire in place of death)
