Adversiment

Early Game

Focus on collecting as many materials as possible to boost Max HP while using the Obliterator for crowd control. Prioritize items that enhance your HP.

Mid Game

Continue to build on Max HP and focus on explosive weapons to handle increasingly difficult enemy encounters while maintaining an eye on item synergies.

Late Game

Utilize the combination of both explosive weaponry and high Max HP to survive dual boss waves. Always prioritize maintaining health above all else.

Build Reasoning

With the Obliterator’s effective damage we can secure early wave clear, allowing for robust health scaling throughout the game. This ties together HP mechanics and projectile damage in a cohesive strategy to mitigate late wave threats effectively.

Why This Build Wins

  • The combination of Obliterator with the blood-based items creates a strong synergy of health gain through each wave's materials, providing the dual benefit of damage and survivability.
  • Explosives (Grenade Launcher) can trigger additional damage instances while also potentially generating materials from enemy drops.

Danger 5 Notes

Enemies hit harder and spawn in greater numbers, necessitating an even stronger focus on crowd control and sustainability through health recovery.
