Engineering icon

Engineering

Boosting Engineering supports the turrets' effectiveness, maximizing the passive damage while creating a stronger battleground advantage.

Max HP icon

Max HP

An increased Max HP is essential for surviving waves, especially with elite enemies scaling significantly at Danger 5.

Early Game

Focus on acquiring Ranged Damage and Engineering items. Ensure Minigun is optimized for max output while picking up ancillary items for health.

Mid Game

Transition towards increasing engineering synergy and optimizing the core weaponry at shops. Seek out items that enhance structure performance and maximize HP.

Late Game

Prepare for the two bosses in wave 20 with firepower geared towards eliminating high HP targets efficiently, supported by enhanced engineering structures and upgraded minions.

Build Reasoning

Due to Cyborg’s unique traits, especially the Ranged Damage boost, the Minigun and other Ranged weapons form a backbone for this build. The focus on Engineering maximizes structure effectiveness and ensures a powerful fight against elite waves and bosses.

Why This Build Wins

  • High Ranged Damage scaling directly enhances turret effectiveness. Structures are pivotal for crowd control against waves of enemies.
  • Leveraging Engineering permits easier management of elite waves through well-placed turrets.

Danger 5 Notes

On Danger 5, expect a substantial increase in enemy health and damage. Positioning and turret management become critical to handle overwhelming numbers as elite spawning becomes a constant concern.
