Turtle Shell Defense Build

The Scythe offers incredible damage with a high area-of-effect capability, ideal for dealing with waves of enemies while benefiting from the character's harvesting. Its stability compensates for Old’s lower speed and enhances survivability through effective crowd control.

The Circular Saw deals consistent melee damage while its cooldown reduction allows Old to maintain a steady output of damage and material collection. This weapon benefits from both the defense and melee capabilities for sustained battles.

The Chainsaw’s mix of damage and bonus health from its special effects makes it a prime choice for extended engagements, fortifying Old's defensive capabilities while handling high-density enemy spawns in later waves.

Generating additional damage output through summoned eyes is essential for keeping enemy numbers down, ensuring survivability while maximizing material collection.

While it causes some self-damage, its 40 harvesting boost counteracts Old's innate low speed, enhancing materials farming to sustain health regeneration through consumables.

Reducing enemy counts makes managing chaos significantly easier while simultaneously ensuring they do not overwhelm Old's defensive capabilities in the later stages.

Lowering enemy speed becomes crucial during chaotic rounds, allowing more room for maneuvering and avoiding damage.

Boosting max HP directly contributes to Old's capability to withstand heavier attacks from enemy elites and bosses during Danger 5.

Max HP

Increasing maximum health will help offset the damage taken due to Old’s self-damage effects from items such as Blood Donation.

HP Regeneration

Maintaining a steady health regeneration rate ensures a sustainable playstyle against hordes and allows Old to capitalize on health drops effectively.

Armor

Increasing armor will significantly boost Old’s effective HP, allowing him to withstand more hits during intense waves and against bosses.
