Any tips for the not getting hit challenge?

[Dr.Zoidberg]

Have failed the challenge and didn't even notice getting hit Any character or skill that helps?

Hi! Just as a quick tip: If you've been damaged, the challenge will no longer show up in the list of available challenges in the pause menu. This is an easy way to check if you still can complete it in the current run.

Okay thank you.

get buckler and also get a lot of trinkets that take hp from you , they are pretty good and you dont need hp anyway

[Riven]

I used a lot of items and characters in my pool that emphasized CC or had baked in stats, pick up range, omnidirectional weapons, etc. Try looking at: Frozen Cross, Enchanted Harp, Ancestral Razor, Mighty Punch, Storm Javelins, Basilisk Claw, Lapis Blade, Shackles, Buckler, Soul Container, Armored Legplates.

I ended up using Vildasor on graveyard with Panacea to keep him healthy for his insane damage bonus to his omni directional weapon. Mork for glacier with Sphere of Destruction to deal with fish waves. For Shrine Nekros was my man - a rapid fire weapon with curse for elites and a useful active and free projectile scaling!

I also found that swarm waves that overwhelmed other weapons got wrecked by ancestral razor and sphere of destruction because of the new and improved blast radius and insane knockback. You may want to consider Silver Bullets if you're struggling for damage, but you stand the risk of knocking away enemies beyond your pickup range and losing out on precious exp.

It'd be safer to assume that your weapons won't evolve since you can't move to get chests, so try to get projectile and glove of harmony type builds for damage. 3-4 light/dark is more than enough damage and area if you have gloves.

Good Luck!

Edit: Misread the thread. For no-hit I went with Michi and an active skill loadout. Buckler, Seal of Purity, War Drums, Emerald Ring, with something really cheeky like walking cane (if you have it, trigger it before using your active) and Sacred Effigy. After a point nothing entered my screen. Her movement speed and boss damage bonus are excellent for this challenge.

The build I used to accomplish the no damage taken runs was...

Ariana

Quicksilver Spears: Innate
Mighty Punch: Great Knock Back for anything that gets too close
Living Paintbrush: Great Knock Back in front of you
Necromancers Gauntlets: Good Damage for anything too close
Frozen Shards: Great for Crowd Control behind you
Landslide: was a good option for sending out damage away from me

Buckler: Great for emergency protection
Leather Bracers: This is a mainstay for practically every build
Silver Bullet: To Boost Knock Back
Banner of Ruin OR Heavy Greaves: More Fire Rate
Emerald Ring: Ariana's skill makes her invincable and deals massive damage on touch
Forbidden Shield : MORE FIRE RATE

You want to focus on Fire Rate and Knock Back. Keep Ariana's skill ready for bosses. Be sure to pay attention to the skill timer, you want to stand inside the boss while it is up but be sure to move away before it ends. Dont rush anywhere, take it slow and steady. Pay attention to each minit's spawns. Avoid any random attacks that could knock enemies into you, you want attacks that fire out away from you. Try to get whatever chests appear, and make sure to evolve as much as possible. Try to get Forbidden Shield maxed out as soon as possible, but not at the cost of evolvable weapons and completeing the buildout. You dont need to go after any special bosses unless you're built up well enough to make the journey safely. And just Pay Attention, especially at the begining and at each new minit. Be sure to avoid traps. And you can always check the challenges in the pause menu, if you get hit, the challenge will not show up anymore. Have fun and good luck.

I see a couple of you mentioning the buckler. But based on the description of it it only activates after you get hit, so what good would it be in this case?

The challenge is to take no damage. The buckler lets you get hit and freezes nearby enemies so can get away.

as far as I know it prevents getting damaged at all until it wears down
