Adversiment

Early Game

Focus on acquiring the Plasma Sledge for explosive area damage. Prioritize collecting items that provide healing and additional Max HP from consumables. Aim to achieve the highest possible Luck to benefit from item drops as early as possible.

Mid Game

Concentrate on maintaining a balance of offense and defense. Upgrade weapons efficiently, looking for the Codename upgrades for explosion-based boosts, and maintain high survivability through healing items.

Late Game

Prioritize maximizing damage output while ensuring enough defense to contend with elite hordes and simultaneous bosses. Utilize explosive items to clear crowds and prepare for the wave 20 boss fight with sufficient health and damage.

Build Reasoning

The chosen weapons and items amplify Glutton's explosive capabilities while simultaneously addressing survivability, essential for success in Danger 5. The careful distribution of weapons allows for consistent damage output where it matters most, but also sets up a sustainability loop that leverages healing mechanics effectively.

Why This Build Wins

  • Glutton's ability to gain explosion damage and healing from consumables is the backbone of this build, allowing for powerful area damage and sustain.
  • The combined use of explosive weapons and consumables ensures that even in tight spots, Glutton can both survive and thrive.

Danger 5 Notes

Danger 5 significantly increases enemy health and damage, necessitating a stronger focus on managing healing and area damage. The simultaneous bosses will require smart use of consumables and explosive abilities to maintain pressure while dodging high damage.
