HP Regeneration icon

Engineering icon

Boosts the effectiveness of turret weapons contributing to additional material collection without sourcing damage.

Early Game

Focus on upgrading Max HP and engaging groups of enemies carefully. Prioritize obtaining Alien Baby and Cute Monkey to establish your core defenses early on.

Mid Game

Aim to gather additional healing items and solidify upgrade paths towards HP Regeneration. Ensure weapon distribution allows for sustained enemy presence.

Late Game

As you approach waves 16-20, ensure enough Max HP and HP Regeneration to survive dual bosses. Balance turret placements strategically to maintain a consistent enemy spawn.

Build Reasoning

Given the Pacifist's unique ability, optimizing for survivability through raw HP and environmental engagement via damage-free weapons will allow survival and resource collection throughout Danger 5.

Why This Build Wins

  • The combination of Drill and Circular Saw emphasizes a playstyle where maintaining a high number of enemies is critical for both damage control and material generation.
  • Using healing items like Cute Monkey synergizes with the Pacifist's natural material gain ability.

Danger 5 Notes

Expect higher enemy counts and elite appearances. The ability to keep enemies alive longer will be essential. Turret synergy for damage output is crucial for handling dual boss waves.
