In the early waves (1-7), prioritize acquiring materials through your weapons and maximize harvesting with items like Wheat and Acid. Prioritize upgrading either your Max HP or Harvesting stats to ensure a strong foundation.

Mid Game

Waves 8-15 will increase in enemy strength and variety. Utilize the utility gained from the Circular Saw and Chainsaw to maintain crowd control while keeping up on harvesting with the Crown and Blood Donation items.

Late Game

For the final waves (16-20) and bosses, ensure you are ready with both your weapon damage and health. Focus on healing effectively through consumables while targeting bosses with high-damage mechanics from all your weapons.

Why This Build Wins

  • The Farmer's natural benefits from harvesting synergize with the chosen items and weapons in this build, leading to a self-sustaining power loop where effective healing and damage allow better farming.
  • This build focuses heavily on acquiring materials fast while sustaining health through effective healing mechanics.
  • Weapons provide not only damage but also potential for material generation, enhancing the core theme of sustainability in this build.

Danger 5 Notes

With Danger 5 increasing both enemy damage and health by 40%, careful positioning and crowd control are critical. Utilize your abilities and synergies to create a self-perpetuating cycle of harvesting and healing.
