Why This Build Exists
This build differentiates itself by using a mix of explosive items and maximizing crit chance around explosions, contrasting the previous focus solely on melee damage with Power Fist.
Weapons
While the Power Fist is a melee weapon, its explosive damage on hit perfectly synergizes with Bull's explosion ability, allowing for a focus on crit-driven explosion damage. This guarantees consistent area damage while profiting from Bull's tanky stat axis.
Main Items
Amplifies explosive damage, synergizing with Bull's explosion effect for significant area damage, essential for dealing with waves packed with elites and tough enemies.
Boosts explosion damage and size, further enhancing Bull's ability to deal damage when taking hits in chaotic encounters.
Provides a solid melee and elemental damage boost while also increasing overall survivability, fitting Bull's tank-focused strategy.
Gives a slight increase in HP regeneration while also providing life-steal, essential for Bull's survivability as he engages directly with enemies.
Boosts max HP while slightly reducing dodge, a fair trade-off for Bull’s invulnerability through explosions.
Upgrade Focus
As Bull's survivability revolves around taking hits, enhancing max HP directly increases his ability to absorb damage and explode, benefiting greatly from the character’s inherent features.
Boosting HP regeneration allows Bull to recover quickly from damage, ensuring he remains a formidable tank throughout waves, especially in the chaotic conditions of Danger 5.
Increasing general damage enhances overall survivability as it allows Bull to eliminate enemies faster, thus reducing incoming damage.
Early Game
Focus on picking up items that enhance health and regeneration. Collect as many offensive explosive items as possible, ensuring survivability while setting up for successful crit explosions.
Mid Game
Continue to stack up on upgrades for HP and damage while prioritizing shop items that enhance explosion effects. Position aggressively to maximize damage output from Bull's unique explosions.
Late Game
Manage positioning effectively to avoid multiple hits during waves with elite spawns. Target enemies to burst down their health quickly with exponential explosive retaliation damage. Use Gnome for sustain and regeneration at key moments during the final boss encounter, focusing on avoiding collateral damage while ensuring constant health replenishment.
Build Reasoning
With Bull's explosion ability doing substantial damage (300% damage multiplier), focusing on maximizing health and HP regeneration ensures he can take hits and retaliate powerfully. Items like Dynamite and Explosive Shells directly bolster this added damage potential, making way for a highly explosive build.
Why This Build Wins
Danger 5 Notes
In Danger 5, with tougher enemies and bosses like the Predator and Invoker, it’s essential to utilize positioning and explosion synergies to both deal damage rapidly while minimizing damage taken. Bull’s high max HP and regeneration must be preserved to handle the amplified enemy encounters.
