Dungreed: The Complete Guide

[Sir Slush]

Hey, all! Thought I'd share the guide I made for Dungreed here. It has some stat explanations, build guidelines, item synergies and advanced tricks, so hopefully both newcomers and veterans will find it useful.

I did and the only number that changed was my power (number to the right of my weapon damage).

I did have a question for Sir Slush. You say in your guide that True Damage can get insanely OP, but I just had a run with 8 TD and an Uzi and my damage output was laughable. Am I meant to couple Power with TD so the damage stacks on top or just rely on TD alone? I was doing decent damage with my tiny minigun (N321 I think) with 4 TD, but when I swapped to my Uzi/Taser combo, enemies were taking too long to die - especially if they mobbed me quickly like the lizards tend to do in the swamp.

I've honestly went further with just a normal generalized run using a Boomerang and trying to stack critical.

Interesting. No, true damage isn't affected by power or criticals - it just adds damage on top of your existing damage.
True damage isn't the only way to build strong DPS, it's just one of my favorite ways because it stays consistent throughout the game without a lot of maintenance. With a lot of power or critical chance/damage, you'll do more damage via the usual methods than with a straight true damage build. True damage really only comes into its own in the desert and during boss fights, because enemies with high defense can negate much of your regular damage.
Another thing that makes true damage useful is the bullet splitter - while it can actually make your damage worse with a regular damage build, a true damage build usually becomes 2-3x stronger with one because TD applies to every hit with its full value.

In short: true damage lets you focus on evasion, HP and defenses rather than stacking power and critical chance, while still doing decent damage. It really becomes OP with a bullet splitter or against the late bosses.

I don't think I've found the regular minigun yet, so my guess is that its weapon damage plus the bonus from your power were outperforming the 4 additional true damage you got from switching to the Uzi/Taser combo, at least for now.

I think I'll leave the luck-based builds alone and just stick with what the game gives me. On that TD run, I made it to the forest boss before I finally died, but I used the minigun for the vast majority of the run.

I would add the mini slime maker to S or A tier, using it with the bullet magnifying glass makes 80% of fights absolutely trivial

What if you get a BS with +3 toughness what would you rank that?
PS The swords name is Red Dragon Killer just found it this run (mythic pot ftw)

[Sir Slush]

A Blood of Srobeo with +3 toughness? Awesome find! I guess it could only be BS+, couldn't it? :)

Also, thanks for the sword name. I'll change it in the guide.

Hey could you tell me how many NPC's are? I already save the 2 news, but the achivement of rebuild dont pop up. How do I get it?

[Sir Slush]

I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but it sounds like you have to build all the buildings. As for the number of NPCs... Off the top of my head, I know there's the guard, the blacksmith, clothier, item shop girl, priestess, gunsmith, skill trainer, old man, and warrior, so that's nine. Note that you aren't guaranteed to find one every time you go through the dungeon, which is confusing for a lot of people.

[Sambul]

any ways u have found to do the devil swordman run? or do we have to get a great ranged weapon and dodge everything?

[Sir Slush]

Finding TAANA and keeping her after every run gives you the best chance of success using Lasley, but other than that it's just going to be a matter of practice.

[Sambul]

Cool, felt it was near impossible to do it forgot about TAANA, What is your favorite person to run?

[Sir Slush]

Cool, glad it helps. :)
I think I find the platemail warrior and the original adventurer the easiest to use, but thematically I like playing as Alice.
