Early Game

In the early waves, focus on acquiring weapons with melee damage and ensuring good sustain through items focused on HP and HP Regeneration. The priority should be to gather as much Max HP as possible to maximize your leeching potential.

Mid Game

From waves 8 to 15, it is crucial to keep the DPS high while managing positioning to avoid being surrounded. Pick up items that enhance both HP and Attack Speed to maximize damage potential while allowing for efficient life steal.

Late Game

In the late game (waves 16 and onward), gearing towards crowd control is key when facing dual bosses. Prioritize health sustain and try to exploit your life steal for continuous health recovery during boss encounters. Positioning and dodging will play an essential role to avoid projectiles from bosses.

Build Reasoning

The build focuses on maximizing Lich's healing powers through a synergistic balance of life steal and HP gains, aimed at sustaining higher damage outputs essential for surviving the intensified challenges of Danger 5.

Why This Build Wins

  • Lich's healing effect coupled with life steal weapons ensures that you can survive tough waves, maximizing both damage output and damage mitigation from incoming projectiles.
  • Items that increase Max HP and HP Regeneration specifically support Lich's distinct mechanics

Danger 5 Notes

The increased enemy health and damage spike significantly address the need for high enough damage output and sustainability, mandating players to effectively manage their health while tackling dual bosses.
