Chef success extremely reliant on finding other Scared Sausages/Snake

[Nogan]

I've had otherwise OP runs (high tankiness, regen, lifesteal, dps) struggle to clear waves because I couldn't apply burn frequently enough, and was effectively playing at a massive disadvantage. Dude needs to start with a Snake or something. Better yet, massively scale back the whole massive bonus if X otherwise massive downside thing because it's highly variant on good rolls.

The idea is to have 2-3 fire applying weapon and 3-4 damage weapons (I think) I was doing fine with Torches and wands until I got fireball and flamethrower and the rest was pure damage (spears, planks , chainsaw

Also Getting the fruits and making them explode helps a lot too (explosion size etc)

Curse you, Retromation! I read it as "Sacred" instead of "Scared".

My problem with chef is that he cant start with guns which kind of makes sense for the theme but SMG is probably one of the best weapons for them since it can apply the burn easily even with just 1 sausage since it attacks so fast.

Exactly. SMG's are OP for this character.

IDK Chef is THE easiest (and the most boring IMHO) of the new characters. Even after they added +100% enemy HP. If you struggle with him it's because you lost you chef's license for not using the proper cooking tools. You should just use the true chef's weapons: Choppers and Spoons. Normally at least 3 of 6 weapons hit an enemy in a single swing which almost guarantees burning even with a single Sausage.

Here's my today's win where I on purpose ignored two Sausages game proposed to me. At wave 16 I took Rip and Tear not because I needed it but because I love it. I heard you can't use Frozen Heart as it will convert your weapons damage to elemental which is too bad as increased burning length is what is needed for proper cooking.

That's not how it works. It adds elemental (20%? 10%? forgot) to whatever weapons you have.
A weapon with 80% ranged scaling would now be 80% ranged 20% elemental.
A weapon with 100% elemental scaling would now be 120% elemental scaling.

I know how it works but they say that the whole weapons damage will be counted as elemental type in regards to calculating special effects. I didn't check it though.

Just tried the SMG Chef. What's wrong with you guys? Why would you want to make the character unnecessary hard? Not only you need to roll for SMGs you also need to upgrade it and you lose melee AOE ability. Couldn't even finish past wave 11 but honestly wanted to drop this run anyway because how useless it is even with two Sausages. Chopper in contrast is strong enough to cut these sashimi cold even (which is expected to think of it).

Oh no, yeah. You're completely right, Just that I would have used "treat" in that context?
Frozen Heart on Chef is 100% a horrible idea.
