Why This Build Exists
This build differs by incorporating stronger explosive synergies and alternative items for defensive sustainability, contrasting with existing builds that focus heavily on melee damage.
Weapons
Power Fist excels in melee combat. With 3 copies, it capitalizes on Bull's explosive damage output while also benefiting from high HP regeneration, providing consistent survivability.
The Nuclear Launcher provides strong area-of-effect damage, making it perfect for clearing hordes of enemies while synergizing with Bull's explosions. It pairs well with Bull's HP pool as it allows for riskier engagements.
Main Items
Enhances explosion damage, allowing for devastating area effects when Bull takes damage. This synergizes well with both weapon choices.
Boosts explosion damage and size, which enhances the effectiveness of Bull's unique ability and the chosen weapons' explosive capabilities.
Increases both melee and elemental damage, further enhancing the explosive damage output while providing some range penalty suitable for an aggressive playstyle.
Adds supplementary area damage every few seconds, which complements Bull's explosive playstyle and provides extra crowd control.
This item negates one hit per wave, allowing Bull to endure higher-risk situations and continue punishing enemies with explosive damage.
Upgrade Focus
Increasing Max HP enhances Bull's survivability while reinforcing his explosion damage and ability to withstand damage.
Boosting HP Regeneration allows Bull to sustain longer in fights, promoting riskier strategies that take advantage of his explosive counterattacks.
Maximizing damage increases the potency of the explosions when Bull is hit, further amplifying the effectiveness of the build against tough enemies.
Early Game
Focus on acquiring health, health regeneration, and items that boost explosive damage. Prioritize items like Dynamite and Gnome in the early shop phases to set up for explosive power.
Mid Game
Continue to stack HP and explosive upgrades while managing crowd control through Power Fist and Nuclear Launcher. Acquiring items that increase area damage is crucial to prepare for waves with enemies.
Late Game
Prepare for bosses by consolidating upgrades that enhance overall damage, particularly against bosses. Ensure Bull maintains high HP for soaking hits while retaliating with explosive attacks during the dual boss encounters.
Build Reasoning
This build balances high damage output and survivability, relying heavily on Bull's unique explosive mechanics while utilizing specific item synergies for effective crowd control and boss management in Danger 5.
Why This Build Wins
Danger 5 Notes
Expect increased enemy strength and higher numbers of elites in waves 11-18. Prioritize maintaining high HP to survive the boss fight where both bosses have elevated damage capabilities.
