Attack Speed icon

Important for increasing the frequency of structure attacks and maintaining effective crowd control.

Early Game

Prioritize collecting items that boost HP and help to scale for Engineering, allowing structures to hit harder and survive while building for the mid-game.

Mid Game

Focus on enhancing turrets and maximizing Elemental Damage through upgrades and item synergies. Begin prioritizing area control as enemy numbers increase.

Late Game

By waves 16-20, ensure your turrets are well-placed, and utilize item effects to sustain health. Take advantage of the two bosses by controlling space and maximizing elemental hits before they can close in.

Build Reasoning

The Particle Accelerator scales effectively with the Technomage's Engineering and doubled Elemental Damage per structure, allowing it to output significant damage while ensuring turrets are consistently upgraded with synergy-based items.

Why This Build Wins

  • The combination of Engineering and Elemental Damage ensures that turrets and structures are both offensive and capable of managing enemy mobs effectively.
  • Turret enhancements from items such as Clockwork Wasp directly complement the particle accelerator, increasing overall damage output in high-pressure situations.

Danger 5 Notes

Danger 5 introduces enhanced enemy stats and multiple bosses that can overwhelm; strategic turret placement and upgrades are essential to manage sustained damage.
