How to be invincible?

[NpeaceZ]

I've gotten to about level 13.. stuff got prettyy crazy with lazer beam worms flying around t he place but eventually got one shot...

What do I need to do to make my character withstand that late game...

What do I do in the early game?

TIA

Speed is armor. Never stop moving and make sure you have enough mobility items to dodge stuff, also learn how each enemy aims and juke them before you get hit.

Mobility is everything for the most part, definitely depends on character, all items are random for the most part, so not much you can do, but if you can just avoid attacks the bosses will die eventually

Not much you can do outside of finding lots of Infusions, Shield Generators, and Tougher Times, besides speed and feathers to outright avoid damage.

Even if you don't intend to use lunar items, I would recommend going to the shop at least once or twice. You can always trade in whites for a type of green and greens for a type of red. Getting that for sure legendary or useful green like harvester sickle or ukulele can make a huge difference. It's the only way to recycle items that isn't completely chance-based and I cannot overstate how many times I've turned around a game by getting those.

Otherwise pretty much what the guys above me said.

tougher times (the common rarity teddy bear) can be very op when you get several of them, just a few (somewhere from 5-8 I believe) will have you blocking 50% of all hits, also just to add in to your question of "how to be invincible" you can't, but you can get powerful enough to be close to that, the game gets most difficult (in my opinion) around stages 8-15, at that point you're probably at the hardest difficulty, and aren't super op, but after 15 you start outgrowing the opposition and can easily become op compared to your enemies

It depends entirely on what character you play as and what style of game play you prefer. I think that the closest anyone can get to invincibility outside of mods would be the Engineer thanks to their turrets.

As with any character, once you get powerful enough, the game becomes easy to win. However, the difference with the Engineer and all the other characters is their turrets. Once you're powerful with the Engineer, you can leave your computer and leave the game running for hours as your turrets destroy every enemy that comes to attack you.

That being said, unless you're in a Reliquary the enemies will continue to get stronger and will eventually get strong enough to kill you - so it's a pseudo-invincibility at best.

Even so, I'd suggest that the Engineer is one of the easier characters to make powerful because the turrets auto-aim at enemies and, most importantly, they gain copies of all of the items that the Engineer picks up, so it's like you're playing with two other people.

If you want to try the Engineer run, I'd recommend looking at the Engineer guide and enabling the Artifact of Command.

tldr: The Engineer is the character who can get the closest to invincible.

As some one who mains engi/huntress, I agree with everything you said except the first sentence. The method to invincibility is essentially the same for all characters. Engi just gets there easier, and has more automatic offensive choices.

Rack + Shield (red items) give you shielding overheal. If you manage to grab two or more of each, you're basically invincible (except against the last boss, of course).

ok but fr though, 4 years is too much to ignore. You specifically have to look for these, you know.
