Introduction to the Demon Build
Welcome to the Demon Build Guide, focused on converting HP into power and scaling aggressively through shop purchases.
This build revolves around Ghost Scepters, which generate HP scaling. Since Demon buys items using HP instead of materials and converts 50% of materials into HP each wave, the strategy is to buy everything early and snowball rapidly.
Early Game Strategy (First 3 Waves)
Starting Setup
- Begin with Ghost Scepters
- Aim to upgrade them to Level 4 as quickly as possible
Core Mechanics
- Demon spends HP instead of materials
- At the end of each wave:
- 50% of materials → HP
- This allows continuous scaling through aggressive spending
Priorities
- Stack Ghost Scepters early
- Roll aggressively and buy everything possible
- Build multiple damage sources
Important Note
- You will often start waves with 0–1 HP
- One hit can end the run → positioning is critical
