Elder's Energy Burst Build

The Chain Gun delivers high damage output with its rapid-fire bursts, perfect for crowd control against waves of enemies and maintaining DPS against dangers introduced in Danger 5.

With its piercing capabilities and damage reset on material pickups, the Blunderbuss provides excellent synergy in keeping enemies thin while Old's harvesting ability heals damage taken.

The Double Barrel Shotgun's high initial damage is valuable for quickly dispatching elite enemies, especially when close-range engagement is needed.

This item significantly boosts harvesting while providing a manageable trade-off in HP, synergizing perfectly with Old's abilities.

By helping reduce enemy numbers and damage taken while maintaining enough power for waves, the Candle is crucial for sustainable survivability.

The HP increase directly supports survivability against stronger enemies, while the minor dodge penalty is manageable given Old's natural enemy slowdown.

Firing additional projectiles on enemy death complements the high fire rate, adding to clearing capabilities.

With increased attack speed and range, this item enhances overall damage output without significantly affecting mobility.
