Good Builds

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2820682994

9.1 Spark + Dual SMGs

Dual SMGs is best for shooting effects, such as lightning that cast on every second shot and fireball, which appears every fourth shot.

Thanks to the large magazine and passives of Spark, we will have infinitely replenished ammo and constant lightning and fire.

Items

Charged Up increases lightning damage and replenish ammo. Electro Affinity Increases Lightning Damage by +50%. Electrical Fire increases fire damage and combines with the synergy Overload - great lightning damage.

Tomes

Tome of Elements increases by third our elemental effects, and Tome of Rage increases the rate of fire on 66% and triples the max ammo. Of course, in this case, your bullet damage will be equal ~ 0. Since this is an elemental build, we don't need bullet damage, but if you are unlucky, you can replace it with one of these tomes: Tome of Elasticity or Tome of Power. But in return you will get max HP -2.

Runes

• Sword - Mysticism, Elemental Barrage, Wild Magic, Cadence;
  
• Shield - Vigilance, Elemental Shield, Blessing, Second Wind.

• all elemental effects: Lightning, Ignite and Freeze;

• max HP and pickup range;

Items

New Character!
Create black holes to suck up monsters, while you blast them with your weapons!.

Auto Aim!
You can now press "space" to toggle on a auto-aim mode for a more casual experience.

V0.7.3 - Magic Bow Hotfix

Fixed a bug with Magic Bow where if too many arrows return you at the same time, it may cause some of the arrows to get stuck in midair.

Added achievement for Magic Bow..

Any plans to update this for 1.0.1?

[AquaBBQ]

i don't quite get this ability: Ascension - attack speed and reload rate +50%, vision range +75%. Collect all 3 Halo, you will get the Ascension

[guts' theme (Cut & Looped)]

need Magic Spears and Scythe to be updated

[Sam]

why arent you supposed to take ascension for glare build? for me it went good

@Aberwag yeap

Does the passive of each darkness level add up? For example does D15 have its boss dmg passive + all 14 previous passives?

[Summoner000]

What a terrific and well made guide! Thanks for your hard work!

Where does stuff like the Kunoichi upgrade come from? Just got it while doing a Darkness 0 run with Scarlett and Double SMGs. Gave +1 pierce and +10 attack speed every 10 seconds until hit, no cap mentioned.

@Soldier Boy must be summon. In-game description: Bats are both bullets and summons .

Can you guys confirm that Batguns are summon ? because someone in Ofc discord said it was just a projectile.
