WD Build?

[Freeza]

whats the best team set up for WD? currently running mystic,thief,medic,carpenter,carpenter,carpenter

[Alrom]

For climbing I'm using thief/carpenter x4/XX
Thief for loot and essence, XX to help prevent deaths from ambushes and some AoE damage to soft up enemies for carpenters and carpenters just use nail attacks.

Everyone here is a glass canon. The carpenters need to kill enemies before they have a chance to act. Dark Savior protects against ambushes. So I can climb as long as my carpenters can one shot enemies and XX isn't one shot during ambushes.

But for this to work you need some MP, enough to last between fairies, and to get XX to level 25.

Edit: For gear, carpenters use the highest weapon damage with socket, use star gems at first then swap for 5% gems. Use armor that gives dodge chance.

thief also needs armor with dodge but for weapon and shield you can use whatever you want. I use the item find staff and gold bonus shield.

both thief and carpenters use essence find accessories.

XX uses the shell accessory to prevent back attacks and two item find+dmg reduction accessories.

If you are in WD, you should know who XX is. Spoiler character. If you don't know who he is, you aren't in WD.

Still working on fine tuning, but more or less this is my end gear. Some tweaks happen depending on what im going for in that particular run. This is also my farm build, not my push team.

As for why I am not using robes on my DMs yet, I dont have quite enough materials to make then yet. Might also throw on a few radioactive suits when I get enough iridium.

Edit* - Jesus, I only just not realized im using a Stardew Valley ore. I meant Uranium, not Iridium. My mistake.

Are you finding that damage reduction is more useful than evasion? I don't have strong feelings either way but have been gearing my armor slots towards Evade instead.

swap carp for dark lord swap mystic for DM or carp when u have enough mana(800+) get your mains to lvl 50 just run 5 heroes of the same class + darklord from 0- 1000 rinse and repeat doesnt take long to get to 50 ( 0-1000 takes 8 mins dependant on gear)

Ossein Armour ( damage reduction) is better at higher levels then dodge

Damage reduction and evasion is a strong debate, but i'll opt for damage reduction tho. If you can't evade at high level when ambushed it's gonna be a problem. I'am running T/N/DM/DM/DM/xx, my xx can 1 shot all janitors so i leave out doodle charm(prevent sleep) as xx acts first. Everyone equip ossein armour, thief and nurse using skull blade+ossein armour and they full time def, unless ransacking enemy with essence or heal. At my current stage when ambushed enemy basically deal 2k+ dmg per hit but if they hit my nurse / thief, they only receive 500+ dmg.

He is staying OUTSIDE of tavern....

As for actual strategies there are 2 - 1 is physical, which is slow but more stable.. another is mages which is slightly less stable but much more efficient... they change as you can sustain your mana but can be summed up in the absolute end(once all grind is done) as:
1)Thief/3 DM/2 nurses - magic team, which is fastest farm team essentially. Only heal with single target heal with nurses and set it to 80-90% HP...

2)Thief/4x Carp/XX - physical team.. slower than above but much easier to setup early on.

Downside for x4 carp is no nurse to heal for ambushed, but if you are not planning to afk for a long time it works best for pushing levels. DM team is for longer runs but can't push too far resulting lower fph.

Honestly... thief is only useful for essence. You may try to argue that 'more damage is more damage" but your not going to get anywhere near carpenter (or Dark Mage if specced for that) with a Thief.

So.. Thief - Evasion gear and Rapier (yup, the low level item) so she has something like 80% Evasion chance (because forget taken slightly less damage if you avoid the whole attack often) Any shield with socket to get evasion gem inside as well. Acc: if your going for gold, gold gain, if your going for items, item gain, if your going for essence, the magnet.

Nurse: second in line is nurse, because heals are needed. Using any magic boost weapon with a socket (if your mastery leveling her) or any magic boost with desired effect (gold, item, etc) Shield with socket (for mastery needs) or shield for gold if your going for gold. Acc are similar to thief- use what your trying to get. Her ARMOR on the other hand, I recommend the one that allows her to use an AoE (the minor damage comes in handy early WD) but then swap to Evasion. Once again - evasion, because getting hit to reflect damage means your probably going to lose that character anyway. (at higher levels) and even if you don't the amount of 'level gains' is debatable.

Mystic is next in line. Her sole purpose is to AoE (lower ranks of WD, something like 1600) and recharge the groups MP. She is ALSO in evasion gear, with magic boost staff.

Carp/Carp next, because, Nailed it is just OP. These guys are in Evasion Gear (unless I really want gold) with Soul Guardian and Red Gems, as well as the Streetlight shield, with another red gem inside, because they are just Glass Cannons doing as much damage as physically possible. (if you have less than 500 atk, use Star Gem instead)

Lastly I am leveling Mr.E. Yup the spoiler character. I find him somewhat useful, but I wonder if just another carpenter could do better (since evasion gear is pretty amazing to counter Ambush as well)

I'm using 3 huntress 3 carpenter. Mark into nailed it. I also equip all with a turtle shell to ignore ambushes. Although trying 6 huntresses with the stun swords scripted to spread the stuns around seems to be pretty effective too.
