Why This Build Exists

This build differs from previous iterations by focusing heavily on aggressive melee weapons that favor damage output and quick enemy clear rather than raw harvesting potential.

Weapons

Chainsaw icon
3x ChainsawcoreTier 4

Chainsaw excels with its high DPS and ability to hit multiple targets, making it perfect for fast-paced melee combat. This fits the Farmer’s goal of maximizing damage while still improving harvesting efficiency through the kills.

Pruner icon
2x PrunercoreTier 3

Pruner's ability to spawn a garden that generates fruits every few seconds synergizes perfectly with the Farmer’s emphasis on harvesting, allowing for consistent health regeneration during waves.

Hammer icon
1x HammercoreTier 3

Hammer provides significant knockback, which is essential for keeping enemies at bay during intense encounters. Its overall damage output complements the build, creating space for the Farmer to gather materials.

Upgrade Focus

Max HP icon

Max HP

Harvesting icon

Harvesting

Maximizing harvesting improves material collection, which feeds into the sustenance and upgrades necessary for high-mobility combat.

Attack Speed icon

Attack Speed

Boosting attack speed increases overall DPS, which is vital for clearing waves effectively and maintaining health through lifesteal mechanics from crit hits.

Early Game

Prioritize getting the Chainsaw for quick area damage and enemy control, pairing it with Pruner as soon as possible to ensure health management. Harvest as much as possible to fuel upgrades for survivability as waves escalate.

Mid Game

Focus on stacking attack speed and damage items to increase your output. Prepare for the range of elites by positioning carefully and utilizing your knockback to create space.

Late Game

Waves 16-20 will be highly complex with two bosses. Use space effectively. Position near Pruner setups to continuously regenerate health while focusing on clearing minions and damaging the bosses. Look out for health drops from defeated elites for synergy.

Build Reasoning

The combination of Chainsaw and Pruner allows the Farmer to maximize DPS while still capitalizing on harvesting potential. Chainsaw, with its AoE effect, ensures that enemies are dispatched quickly, providing materials for health regeneration which is essential in handling Danger 5's aggressive enemy waves.

Why This Build Wins

  • Chainsaw's high DPS allows for mass killing of lower-tier enemies, generating both health and materials for the Farmer.
  • Pruner complements the build by allowing for health regeneration during fights, which is especially beneficial in high-stress, multi-boss situations.

Danger 5 Notes

In Danger 5, enemies are tougher and more aggressive, so prioritizing survivability alongside your offensive options is paramount. Maintaining a quick pace is essential to stay ahead.
