Adversiment

Early Game

Focus on collecting materials and leveling up health without neglecting DPS. Combine starting item benefits and shop pickups wisely to transition to core weapons.

Mid Game

By waves 8-15, prioritize dealing with elites to maximize material gain while balancing defense through pickups. Use your weapon skills to clear threats efficiently.

Late Game

Waves 16-20 will require careful positioning against two bosses. Use knockback from the Hammer to keep bosses at bay while dealing damage efficiently. Pick up health and material objects aggressively to maintain survival.

Build Reasoning

With access to both strong melee options and items that boost survivability, this build aims for sustained damage through elite waves while effectively maintaining Jack's natural resource gain capabilities.

Why This Build Wins

Jack’s bonus damage against bosses makes the scaling with crit chance and raw damage essential to applying burst damage effectively.
Items that increase max HP and HP regeneration support Jack's aggressive playstyle while allowing him to stay alive through heavy elite waves.

Danger 5 Notes

Danger 5 amplifies boss difficulty, with two appearing simultaneously in wave 20. Make sure to balance offensive power with sufficient max HP and regeneration to endure both damage types.
