Best combo for all idols on?

[Neonetik]

What would you say the best combination of weapons is in general if you have every single idol on and the game is as hard as it can be?

I think the strongest combo to have is Pike/Calamity Cannon. Pike (with knochback upgrade) grants you an effective defense against melee enemies. It has a pretty long range and also a rather high damage output, resulting in less attacks, resulting in fewer chances for enemies to turn into air.
Calamity Cannon (with auto aim, knockback and fast reload) has absurd damage and allows you to snipe enemies offscreen. This prevents clustered attacks, since usually only the attacked enemy hunts you down or the enemies pile up due to the distance, making them vulnerable to the cannons splash damage. Also, as with the pike, the higher damage of the cannon gives enemies less chances to reflect or turn into air.
Honestly, I think this combo turns the game into a joke, but in my opinion it is nonetheless the most effective way to mow down enemies.
As for the Special Skill, I prefer the Pike Sweep, since it is awesome for hurling strong enemies like the Ura guys with spears or blowguns into the abyss.
As for the spirits you should pick stuff like less fall damage, damage reducion, bonus health, more red potions, more black potions, survive with 1 hp, having a another chance upon death, crit attacks at low health, etc... If you go for the Who Knows Where challanges, the Leachade is pretty awesome, for regular levels I prefer to not take it, as it reduces the effectiveness of potions.

Nice analysis of the combo, DSpecht!

Another good combo, which worked for me, was the Brusher's Pike and the Galleon Mortar. The advantage of the Mortar is that, with the proper upgrades (no self damage, for example), you can use it to quickly clean several enemies if they get to close, while using the Pike to keep a distance.

i like the War machete and the fire bellows because they both can (if upgrade) deal damage over time,

Musket and Carbine got me through 10 idols on two Dreams. I don't generally use special techniques, so I just stick in the Decoys on the off chance I stumble on a Tonic. Knockback Shotgun with Long Range, Fast Reload and Double Tap kills tiny guys really fast and knocks around everyone else, and Carbine at top speed is the single most reliable damage engine there is. (Personal opinion, at least; pretty much Carbine'd my way through the game.)

I did all four with morter/pike/lure. In strangers dream, for many rounds I hid behind the big Chrystal on the right. It's kind of like a shield.
