Damage

Maximizing damage output allows for quicker eliminations and synergizes with the Romantic's charm healing mechanics.

Attack Speed

Increased attack speed synergizes with melee weapons to control enemy positioning and spacing more effectively.

Crit Chance

More crits lead to increased burst damage, working well with multiple weapon effects and character abilities.

Early Game

Focus on maximizing crucial weapons like the Chainsaw and Captain's Sword to build a solid offensive foundation while maintaining enough health to withstand early waves. Any item that boosts HP or damage should be prioritized.

Mid Game

Develop synergies through selecting items like Alien Magic for survivability, while optimizing weapon upgrades to focus on high damage output. Keep an eye on resource management, especially HP recovery.

Late Game

For bosses at wave 20, maintain a strategic distance while utilizing ranged capabilities confidently. Prioritize crowd-controlling charmed enemies to manage the boss fight more effectively.

Build Reasoning

By focusing on a mix of melee weapons with synergies around charm mechanics, the build takes advantage of the Romantic's unique capabilities. Each weapon serves distinct purposes for damage output, crowd control, and survivability, especially when faced with stronger enemies on Danger 5.

Why This Build Wins

High burst melee damage makes the Romantic's charm trigger more often, creating temporary allies to distract and debilitate other enemies.
Increased range on melee weapons allows for safer engagements, enabling the character to capitalize on charm triggers effectively.

Danger 5 Notes

On Danger 5, enemies possess increased health and damage output, meaning survival at this tier requires optimized attack strategies and burst damage to control the incoming hordes.
