Strongest build/characters?

[Gobblebird]

Which ones are the strongest classes in your opinion?
I got 1 death kill so far with the ranger and the bow which also triggers a chicken. Sorceress seems also strong. The gunslinger class seems quite weak, any tips how to play him correctly?

This is the strongest run I’ve had so far. A few more potion buffs not seen because the list was too long. Any time I see “makes permanent” I take it. Weapon was a Flame Wand+2 (found it real late), which is absolutely insane haha. I couldn’t stop laughing, I was just a ball of death and I thought I had been a ball of death for the previous 8 floors.

I just beat death on my second run with the sorcerer with the plague of frogs/toads as my primary weapon. Just mainly went hard getting intelligence and some armor. Also managed to get the achievement for beating death without any blessings

Best run so far was with death's sickles... can't recall exactly the build but death lasted for about 2 seconds when I charged at him (barely 1 second each phase)... I had a REALLY focused build and the right equipment. I think it was my first ever sub 15min since every boss melted to those sickles (prolly something that gives higher damage with soul heart). Also had a sick run with quick zenith and enough extra AS to get to 20 APS ... that was fun but death somehow managed to live longer than with the sickles.

IMHO, the strongest CONSISTENT character is definitely the mage when you get +3 mana perk, + 75% damage per mana, +15% (I think?) damage from soul hearts... throw in something like kugelblitz with big brain helmet, and that's GG

Seems like the best "Build" in this game is mostly about the Weapon.
Kugelblitz, Holy Staff, Scroll of Comets, Staff of Unlimited Power... These win games.
Lvl 3 or 4, A-Tier or S-Tier, Magic Weapon + Damage-Related Traits = Win.
Still, those Traits do make a difference...
Damage-Related Traits are +Damage, +Attack Rate, +Mana Stars, +DMG from Mana Stars, etc. Anything that greatly increases your DPS (Damage Per Second).

Proficiencies, btw, are not worth it, as far as I can tell. Proficiencies might raise your DMG by +20% at the most, but only for some weapons. Meanwhile, Rampage can give you up to +45% DMG, Adrenaline is +40% when you get hit, and both Alacrity and Ruthless are an easy +30ish% DPS.

Also don't forget the Beers. Take full advantage of the Tavern, but save up for the 10th Floor, to get as drunk as your health will let you, then go run amok on Death.

I'm not sure exactly how many possible Abilities you can get from levelling up, but I know that there are a LOT of them and you only have 6 Ability Slots. Use them wisely...

So two stumpy hands and only one of those hands has a finger on it? Looks like the game throws a lot of rings at you.

Soul heart builds got even stronger recently thanks to being able to reroll away Soul Thief with Soul Orb/Obsidian Dice on the last floor.

You can only be attuned to one magical accessory at a time. Just because attunement as a mechanic only affects certain items doesn't mean it can't be applied as a concept universally.

10 fingers and only 1 ring allowed seems like wasted opportunity. I'd better understand the complications involved with trying to wear two pieces of chest armor at the same time or wielding two 2H swords in one hand and then a shield in the other.

Only 1 ring? I hope that changes, the game currently looks amazing.

rain of toad scroll weapon + poison = vun / armor break. melts anything

Why did you bump a (literally) year old thread?
These have nothing to do with post-v0.2.0 builds...

[Funni Worm]

So far I have beaten Cinder 16 and have beaten prime death and the devil and working on beating god, But in my opinion, any class suited for dex is usually broken, there is many bows and guns that will just outright break the game, Gunslinger is actually very good and can break the game if you build on lucky hit chance, That was the class i beat cinder 16 with.

I'm amazed at how little to no mentions there are about Soldier. He's an absolute boss killer
