Favorite build with Artifact of Command?

[Juno]

What builds do you like to make, whether it be stupid or OP?

Personally, I like machine gun REX- you fire fast and mow enemies down. Here's what you need (inf means stacking more is best, semi inf means at some point it becomes pointless to get a ton, whether it be because it's just not a great option, or because there's legit no point to getting more stat wise):

(infinite) Soldiers Syringes
(9) Lensmaker Glasses
(semi-inf) Harvesters Scythe
(infinite) Predatory Instincts
(semi-inf) Berzerkers Pauldron
(semi-inf) War Horn
(semi-inf) Gesture of the Drowned
(1) and any equip (I prefer Milky Chrys just because I think it's funny to fly around. Other good choices for this specific build are Jade Elephant, Woodsprite, Fruit, Black Hole, or even Blast shower).

After you get the neccesities, it's good to stock up on some boring healing items and movement items, ex goat hooves, fresh meat, wax quails, leeching seed... I prefer not to get damage items, particularly ones that target people for you (EX atg, uke's, cere dags, DML, Royal Cap, Preon etc). That ruins the point of machine gun rex, which is to focus down on a single target and mow them down. Having some AOE, like a Will-o'-the-wisp is okay just because it makes crowds of low HP enemies easy to deal with, but otherwise I like to keep it simple. Using this build, I've reached around ~2000% attack speed at the best of conditions.

So what builds do you guys like? What do you think of my build?

Engineer, only Fungus.
No Greens.
No Reds.
No Lunars.
Only Fungus.

[Crash]

Crit build huntress while using the second primary attack.
When you get a lot of predatory intincts while with 100% crit chance (and ukelele helps a lot) with a briliant behemoth, she becomes insane.

Mul-T

Personal Shield Generator
Infusion
Titanic Knurl
Transcendence
A few assorted damage items, of course

6-digit HP by stage 14. Celestine elites bugging you while you're choosing more Infusion? Who cares? Don't take 5 minutes and you'll be fine.

This sounds terrifying. I must try it.

What reds do you pick? Just whatever seems best? Or is there one that stand above the rest?

I typically choose Clover, Meat Hook, or Brilliant Behemoth. When you're stacking so much HP, damage tends to get a bit neglected. Nothing increases HP unfortunately, and Rejuvenation Rack doesn't do anything for shield.

a simple stupid build i like to use once in a while:

stacking just fireworks, ukuleles, and brilliant behemoth. bonus points if you play with artifact of swarm enabled

So I tried it. I did the whole thing, but I ended up also getting a bit of a weird side build?

I ended on stage 27 because I crashed. I had ~170k HP. ~175 shield gens, ~50 Infusions, ~15 trans

My side build was getting 24 cells and like, 10 gestures. Then I got a jade elephant and a sawmerang. The sawmerang ended up making me crash because I shotgunned enemies the moment I switched over. The Jade Elephant constantly kept me above 90%. I went afk during tele every single time and always survived. I got like, 3 ATG's and Uke's, but my main source of damage was maxing out debuffs (in specific, bleed, slow, ice-slow, and armor reduction) and getting a lot of Death Marks.

Fun build.

Nice stuff. Try it with Artifact of Vengeance next and maybe pick up a Dio's Best Friend.

[Flondre]

Grey / 10 Lens Maker Glasses, a ton of crowbar, some movement speed item later
Green / Fuel Cell, like 5 or 6, a ton of atg missile
Red / Soulbound Catalyst, 2 or 3 of them, then you can get some daggers
Lunar / Gesture of the drowned, at least 1 but you can get more if you need to
Boss Item / Titanic Knurl is my favorite but isnt requiered

Then just add a Royal Capacitor and watch the world burn

[Aegix Drakan]

Brainstalks, 8+ Backup mags and maximum guillotines on Acrid with the new poison.

10+ stacks of Blight on entire armies is hilarious. XD

[Apoth]

Almost any equipment with 5 fuel cell + Gesture of the drowned will have close to no cd, so here are some that could be fun to have with any survivor, add a Soulbound Catalyst just to be sure it will always be off cd

Skullmancer:
5x Fuel Cell + 1x Gesture of the Drowned + 1x Soulbound Catalyst
N'kuhana's Opinion+Foreign Fruit

Thunder Gaze:
5x Fuel Cell + 1x Gesture of the Drowned + 1x Soulbound Catalyst
Royal Capacitor

"This will literally crash/freeze your game":
5x Fuel Cell + 1x Gesture of the Drowned + 1x Soulbound Catalyst
Disposable Missile Launcher or Glowing Meteorite

E L E P H A N T:
5x Fuel Cell + 1x Gesture of the Drowned + 1x Soulbound Catalyst
Jade Elephant

The Junkie:
5x Fuel Cell + 1x Gesture of the Drowned + 1x Soulbound Catalyst
Spinel Tonic

[Solemen Wolf]

Honestly, crowbar with royal capacitor item combo that was listed above is a strong combo.

Having that 80% damage reduction up 24/7 is always so satisfying

[Doctor]

Crowbar, Wisp in a Jar, Ceremonial Dagger.

[Neire]

A friend of mine just loves to build what we call the Global Corona build:

• Acrid
  
• Around 20 Razorwires.
  
• A Ceremonial Dagger.
  
• 10 Guillotines
  
• An Unstable Tesla Coil
  
• A Frost Relic
  
• One or more Little Disciples
  
• 9 Lens Maker's Glasses
  
• A bunchload of Scythes
  
• N'Kuhana's Opinion
  
• A good deal of Crowbars
  
• Around 5 Fuel Cells
  
• And more importantly, Hellfire Tincture

Game becomes AFK farming after that
