Struggling with Brawler build on D5

[Ceimir]

Trying to beat D5 as Brawler and I have been struggling to find a good build for him.
So far my best run is wave 16 using all elemental weapons (I gave up trying to make unarmed weapons work). Flamethrower + Snake feels like the best weapon to have for aoe and damage, while Shuriken also seems good for early waves. Maybe a high damage melee plus Taser would be good as well? Idk.
Anyone have a won run they could show share?

It's his main gimmick because of bonus attack speed. Later on need have at least several burning fists, that night work until end.
And, well, lifesteal, at least 25 armor and 50 health. 90% of characters need tho.

Yeaa idk... even with 6 burning fists it feels awful to play, even with the attack speed bonus. Of course I would love to have lifesteal, a bunch of armor, and health, but inflation + low econ on D5 kinda makes it impossible to get the kind of stats to make a no-range fist build work. Rolling to get them is very RNG dependent, and you kind of have to force luck early to even have a chance for burning fists appearing.

Did they take away his 100% crit?

Currently he gets +5 melee, +75% atkspd with unarmed, +15% dodge, -50 range, & -50 ranged damage, so I guess so

I can't believe they took away 100% crit.

It was bug anyway, but you didnt saw old brawler from demo, when he took +5 for unarmed and support weapon without damage reduce. That was broken :^

Like... do you left some material to next wave? In all my runs i got, at least, +75-100, on some even 150+ to next wave (wave 9 is pure gold mine, you can collect near to 400 just by staying on corner). You can not buy anything from first 3-4 waves.

On mage, but you should get the point.

Always try to left some material behind, on later waves you gonna have a lot more in current and next-wave cash.
