Attack Speed

Adversiment

Early Game

Focus on maximizing weapon DPS by prioritizing items that enhance damage early on. Purchase any available explosives while preparing core weapons for springing into action during waves 1-7.

Mid Game

With explosives active, ensure health remains manageable when enemy density spikes. Prioritize crowd-control items and consider any weapon upgrades to explosive choices.

Late Game

Wave management for 16-20 must focus on the dual bosses; use explosives effectively to manage the bulging volumes of regular enemies while focusing on rapid damage-output against the bosses.

Build Reasoning

This build leans heavily into explosive styles that capitalize on Loud's unique enemy increase ability, allowing for maximal kill effectiveness through efficient zoning and high burst damage.

Why This Build Wins

  • Loud's base skill significantly increases the chance and volume of enemy spawns, promoting explosive weapons that can handle multiple targets simultaneously.
  • Items like Blood Leech and Adrenaline help maintain health against the bottleneck of increased enemy counts.

Danger 5 Notes

In Danger 5, the increased enemy pace and effectiveness demands swift engagement strategies that maximize explosives without compromising mobility.
