Why This Build Exists
This build differs from Lifesteal Fury by embracing a more aggressive melee-focused strategy with elemental enhancements rather than pure brute force.
Weapons
The Chainsaw provides a solid melee damage output along with a significant attack speed, aligning perfectly with the Vampire's ability to scale damage and life steal based on missing health.
Fireball offers elemental damage to capitalize on the synergy with the Vampire's HP mechanics, effectively managing waves and elites by burning through groups of enemies.
Main Items
Enhances the life steal efficiency while providing additional HP regeneration, crucial for sustaining through damage spikes in later waves.
Significantly boosts damage output, enhancing our primary goal of ensuring high melee damage, albeit at the cost of attack speed.
Ties into the crowd-control aspect of this build by enhancing damage while simultaneously mitigating incoming damage.
Provides a crucial boost to HP regeneration during critical moments, fitting perfectly with the Vampire's strengths.
Allows for a strategic healing option during high-pressure situations, ensuring survival during intense waves.
Upgrade Focus
Increasing life steal leads to sustained survivability, allowing us to take advantage of the Vampire's health-dependent scaling.
Boosting max HP can enhance the overall damage output due to Vampires scaling, providing a buffer for all incoming damage.
Increasing overall damage ensures that each hit is more impactful, crucial in managing both hordes and boss fights.
Early Game
Focus on maximizing life steal with lower-tier weapons, utilize Decomposing Flesh for balanced health management while approaching waves cautiously to rack up materials.
Mid Game
Aim for higher-tier Chainsaws to establish dominance, prioritizing fire-based attack strategies as elite enemies begin to appear. Pick up key items to sustain and enhance damage.
Late Game
Prepare for the dual-boss wave by maintaining high mobility and reactive strategies. Set traps with Fireballs and ensure healing whenever possible through life steal.
Build Reasoning
The combination of Chainsaws provides both up-close combat strength and a fast attack rate, crucial for reducing high-HP enemies while ensuring that life steal allows continuous engagement in tough situations without massive health penalties.
