Early Game

Focus on acquiring Max HP and basic damage upgrades in initial waves. Secure the Captain's Sword and Alien Magic as top priorities for sustained damage output and health.

Mid Game

By waves 8-15, maintain pressure via the Chainsaw and Hammer. Collect additional items enhancing HP regeneration and survivability. Preparing for elites during this phase is crucial.

Late Game

In waves 16-20, handle the dual-boss wave using Chunky’s Max HP advantage. Optimal positioning and utilizing knockbacks to control enemy flow while maximizing DPS from the Captain's Sword will be critical.

Build Reasoning

The build is strategically curated around maximizing Chunky's innate ability to scale damage through Max HP, supporting the character's strength in Danger 5. Each selection is justified by how it interfaces with survivability, progression, waves, and the ultimate goal of defeating tougher enemies.

Why This Build Wins

  • Chunky's scaling based on Max HP significantly enhances the overall damage output, making weapons that benefit from this scaling particularly valuable.
  • By using the Captain's Sword, the build can gain incredible burst damage through scalability connected with weapon slots.

Danger 5 Notes

Danger 5 exacerbates health management with two simultaneously spawning bosses; maintaining health through consumables while dealing damage effectively is pivotal.
