Early Game

During initial waves, the focus should be on acquiring max HP and HP regeneration items while prioritizing Double Barrel Shotgun and Plasma Sledge. This strengthens the survivability while enabling damage output.

Mid Game

From waves 8-15, use area damage capabilities to mitigate elite hordes. Engage with Chain Saw and Captain's Sword for life steal while managing incoming damage through healing.

Late Game

In waves 16-20, prioritize surviving against two bosses through effective dodging and utilizing the environment, while maintaining health through your extensive area-damage weapons; be ready to mitigate double threats with crowd control.

Build Reasoning

This build efficiently utilizes the Lich’s unique attributes by stacking HP and healing mechanics while maximizing area damage potential, effectively allowing the Lich to outlast and overwhelm the many foes encountered in Danger 5.

Why This Build Wins

  • Combining the healing and damage from life steal synergistically increases the Lich's overall health pool, making it imperative during tough waves and boss fights.
  • Crowd-control from area damage ensures swift engagements, where replenishing health becomes efficient through multi-enemy engagements.

Danger 5 Notes

On Danger 5, enemies aggressively scale in terms of damage and health, where maintaining exuberant health regeneration through efficient damage becomes paramount as you'll face doubly hostile conditions.
