Why This Build Exists
This build utilizes Circular Saw rather than melee weapons like the Power Fist or Chainsaw while intersecting elemental damage and sustainability for a different win condition.
Weapons
The Circular Saw's rapid attacks coupled with its burn damage make it an ideal choice for causing massive damage while thinning out the horde, crucial for the intense waves of Danger 5.
Serving as a secondary option, the Chainsaw enhances the build's burst damage on isolated enemies, leveraging its swift attacks to maintain pressure amidst hordes.
Main Items
With a combination of HP regeneration and increased max HP, this item supports survivability which is critical given the aggressive nature of Danger 5.
It provides both melee damage and health regeneration, essential for sustaining through the high pressure of elite encounters.
This item focuses on dealing increased damage against bosses and elites, which brings significant advantages especially in Danger 5 towards waves 20 with dual bosses.
Increases damage output significantly, essential for quickly dispatching the tougher enemies encountered in Danger 5.
Providing a strong boost to melee and ranged damage while capping max HP helps manage risks during intense waves.
Upgrade Focus
Increasing max HP is crucial to absorb damage from concentrated elite and boss attacks, enhancing survivability as the character already has a limited health pool.
Boosting damage not only increases base damage output but also takes advantage of the character's inherent boosts to damage, further maximizing kills efficiently.
To ensure each attack lands more frequently, enhancing the overall damage potential during high-pressure encounters.

Early Game
Focus on acquiring upgrades and items that boost attack speed and burn damage. Prioritize max HP and HP regeneration items early on to create a solid foundation.
Mid Game

Late Game

Build Reasoning
Given One Armed's stats, specifically the increase in damage modifications, the Circular Saw’s scaling power is amplified greatly. The heavy damage and threshold on bosses are ensured with the chosen item synergy, making room for a solid win condition.
