Adversiment

Early Game

Focus on acquiring the Minigun and stacking Ranged Damage items. Look for Alien Eyes to deal damage consistently while moving. Start setting up turrets when possible to ensure crowd control.

Mid Game

Prioritize upgrading Miniguns to tier 4 and look for the Chain Gun. Ensure turrets are placed strategically to manage elite waves effectively. Upgrade armor and HP to improve survivability.

Late Game

As bosses appear, maintain distance while applying damage through turrets and your weapons. Utilize turrets effectively to handle spawned mobs from the bosses.

Build Reasoning

Utilizing the character's significant Ranged Damage bonus of 200% impacts performance, while effectively deploying turrets is a pivotal strategy in managing hordes and bosses. The synergy between turrets, high DPS weapons, and the chosen items ensures that Cyborg can withstand and thrive in Danger 5 conditions.

Why This Build Wins

  • Turrets with high attack speed can control the battlefield, ensuring that enemies are constantly under pressure while maximizing damage output through effective Engineering.
  • The combination of high ranged damage and effective turrets allows for dealing with massive enemy waves and elite bosses.

Danger 5 Notes

On Danger 5, expect increased mob density and damage from new enemies. The dual boss fight at wave 20 will require positioning and sustained turret damage to survive.
