Why This Build Exists
This build differs from the previous Elemental Engineering Ninja by incorporating a mix of turret types alongside elemental damage rather than focusing solely on Particle Accelerator.
Weapons
Superb for dealing area damage and synergizes with the Technomage's structure enhancements, allowing for better crowd control against waves 11-18.
Provides additional elemental damage and burning effects, which will significantly increase damage output against stationary enemies and support the build's structural focus.
Offers single-target piercing damage and increased damage scaling, which is essential for taking down higher health enemies and bosses.
Main Items
Increases structure attack speed, enhancing the damage output of all turrets and making them more effective against tougher waves.
Augments HP and regeneration, which provides the necessary survivability during the rush of waves against strong elites and bosses.
Speeds up the activation of burning effects, which will amplify the effectiveness of burning damage from incendiary turrets.
Adds an extra turret on the field, thus increasing the overall damage output and providing more crowd control.
Provides a safety net against a single hit of damage, which can help maintain survivability during intense moments, especially against mobs and bosses.
Upgrade Focus
Boosts all structure effectiveness, which is crucial for maximizing turret damage and utility throughout the game.
Increasing HP is important due to the increased damage from enemies on Danger 5, providing greater survivability.
Augments the damage dealt by incendiary turrets to take advantage of the synergy with burning damage.
Provides additional sustainability, which is particularly beneficial during waves with increased enemy density.
While structures primarily benefit from Engineering, having extra attack speed can help in managing immediate threats.
Early Game
Focus on collecting materials and leveling up with turrets while avoiding melee combat due to Technomage's penalties to ranged and melee damage. Items that boost pickup range and early survivability should be prioritized.
Mid Game
Waves 8-15 will be crucial for establishing a solid base of structures. Purchase turrets and related items while also upgrading Engineering as much as possible.
Late Game
During waves 16-20, focus on maintaining the turret army active and firing while dodging enemy attacks. For the bosses, rely on explosive and incendiary damage to breakdown defenses while your turrets deal ongoing damage.
Build Reasoning
This build aims to leverage turrets to neutralize threats while allowing Technomage's abilities to scale efficiently. With adequate HP from Alien Magic and constant area damage from the combination of explosive and incendiary turrets, it maintains pressure against elite mobs engrossed in waves 11-18 and provides safety against dual bosses at wave 20.
Why This Build Wins
Danger 5 Notes
On Danger 5, expect more elite and boss encounters simultaneously, which will require a balance of defensive items and swift control of the battlefield through effective turret management.
