Core mechanics and idea
First of all, all this guide is about Hard Hardmode, if you play normal - please close this and return to your mommy.

The most powerfull damage dealer in game is Demon Power and thats why:
1. You do not need armor penetration
2. You do not need critical chance
3. You do not need critical damage
4. You do not care about monster`s resistances
5. You can destroy solo monster or pack of any size


You will run on map constantly spamming two most powerfull skills, cleaning locations fast, secure and with comfort.

The build have 6000 health, 4000 overdrive, 50 armor, 1 wicked legendary card, 2 divine legendary cards and 3 divine rare cards.

The weapon could be any rare or legendary with certain stats which I will describe further.

The best is book (you can use Q to close gaps and save yourself) and hand mortar (E for YOLO jump away from enemies and reach higher places)
The Armor choice
1. First you need armor which constantly generates overdrive and make you look like a handsome gentleman:

This thing will generate 180 overdrive per second (You have 4000 overdrive total) and also have 50 armor which is bad but nothing serious.
So you need, like,
22 seconds
to get your yellow meter full.






















50 armor is like nothing, it will rarely block attacks.
If you want to feel immortal you need 500 armor but then you will do no damage.
So we prefer to play almost glass cannon and destroy our enemies fast before they can do anything
Or just run around them in circles, jumping, rolling while they dying with horrible pain and frustration


With sustain mechanics which I had implemented in build you can relax and rarely pay attention to what you have to face
Cards, all fully upgraded









To upgrade cards, use divine or wicked cards with same rarity.
So the cards that we are needing for are:

1. Legendary Wicked Phoenix - this will do:
  • Skeletons cannot ressurect ( ha ha eat this )
  • You have double heal below 50% healths (Great synergy with health potions, regeneration, other heal effects. Single handedly best card in the game and must have in every build).
  • Wicked effect - the roll is now long roll. You cannot play Victor Vran without long roll, dont be pathetic.

2. Legendary Divine Obelisk - this will do:
  • Increasing damage and duration of demon powers by 30%
  • Divine effect: Gain 280 health when the overdrive is filled

This is the only way to raise Demon Power damage, all other sources WILL NOT work
Thanks to divine effect, we have free and infinite supply of health recovery every time our overdrive is full. Less potions, less worries about HP, more sustain, more confidence, bigger balls.

3. Same as 2, giving us 560 heal on full overdrive and 60% bonus damage to spells total.

4. Divine Tower - this will do:

  • overdrive fills 50% faster - now we have wait for
    14 seconds
    for full recharge!
  • divine effect: gain regeneration for 10 sec when below 37% max hp

This card adds good sustain and can save you countless times with regen (4% of max hp per sec and with phoenix it become 8% of max hp if you are below 50%) 30 sec. cooldown

5. Divine Tower - this will do:

same as 4, but now you get full overdrive every
10 seconds
the divine bonus is different, this one gives you 56% chance to negate a critical hit

With this divine bonus you can be sure, that no one will oneshot you (most of the time) out from the game. This baby greatly raises our survival.

6. Divine Tower - this will do:

same as 4 and 5, but now you get full overdrive every
8 seconds
the divine bonus same as 5, so you get like 56% + 56% chance to negate critical hits

In this case 56+56 is not 112. This works like you have 56% chance to ignore damage and if the roll is bad you have second roll to another 56% to negate damage.
Imagine someone hit you and you have 2 tries to negate damage, so the second 56% chance is needed in case the first one failed. Anyway, this HELPS A LOT to make your Victor far far more from death.


So thats it, only 21 of 24 destiny points used, easy peasy lemon squeezy
Weapon choice
Yeah, for this build you dont care about weapon. Because you will not use it at all. Maybe few times during another location... And you do not need any legendaries (most of them are bad)

The only thing you care of is weapon bonus which must be:

You can get that by having ZEALOUS weapon affix.

With fully upgraded zealous stat you need only
6 seconds
to recharge.
And as you remember, your max overdrive is 4000.
The spell cost is 2000. So you need
3 SECONDS
to cast next spell

Is it cool enough man?
I bet you`ve got my idea at this moment


Once again, I recommend mortar or book as they have mobility skill included, other affixes better be +exp and +quantity or +rarity of items
THE DEMON POWER 1
In this game we will use two most broken, most inbalanced, most overpowered skills, which hit hard and hit many times.
As you remember, magic cannot be blocked and penetrates all

Introducing best demon power in game:

Death Machine:




This magic creates large area which pulls all enemies insided and after short delay pulses 4 times dealing 440 damage per second. 1760 total damage boy.

+
  • Crowd control
  • Large AOE
  • Strong damage
  • Can break many objects in the room
  • Can be cast from very far distance, no matter where enemy is, higher, lower, far away
  • Allows you to run inside it in circles, making enemies stay and take damage with each pulse
  • You can even hit with it standing behind the wall, it appears where cursor is
  • Interrupts enemeis when they try to cast!

-
  • if the ground is not flat it can miss, so look where you cast it and lure enemies on flat ground
  • a little delay can be a bit irritating so lear to cast it right
  • some enemies like vampire slaves can go outside from it, also death machine hates fast enemies

So you can just place it every 3 seconds, it has 2 seconds cooldown, thus, it can be almost permanent aoe dot

THE DEMON POWER 2
Introducing the second best demon power in game:

Sun Ray:




This beaty penetrates anything having wonderfull 780 DPS for 5.6 seconds

And you can cast death machine while keeping your laser! Imagine faces of enemies when giant skull damaging them from above while laser burning their a$$

For 4 seconds you can do 1760 damage from death machine and 3120 from sun ray resulting to almost 5k damage which is more than enough to comfortly kill anything in this game
It cannot be blocked, lowered, ignored, nothing immune to it and it melts stuff

The imba amulet
This guy is crazy



You become immortal GOD for 13 seconds... And just spamming your spells killing anything and anywhere

And this things charges when you use your spell, so you charge it by 320 points every 3 seconds which means you need to use skill 6 times to fully charge it (about 12 seconds).

So every 12 seconds if you spam your abilities, you gain immortality for 13 seconds :)

Nuff said
Advices and tips
These are just my thought from 140 hours of expierience:

1. I cant play normal difficulty. I am man and I play hardcore hard. Otherwise, the game is too easy.
2. I died in hardcore like 40 times with characters of 20-50 levels so I cried a lot
3. Other builds are bad, cuz you have low amount of destine points and so much to care of, like armor pen, crits, damage, sustain
4. I stated in Fractured Worlds, got to rift 15 then started Motorhead, finished it and then I went to Zagoravia and finished in Fractured Worlds. Hell of adventure
5. The most hard world is Motorhead
6. Some cards and demon powers (death machine too) drops only in Motorhead.
7. Death machined can be crafted in any world
8. On hardcore pay attention to:
  • blue large dogs - died from them many times, dont get close, luckily, they are fragile
  • vampire that are trying to sneak on you and kill - if you have not negate crit bonus, he can oneshot you
  • big skeletons with hammers - i hate this guys so much, the reason you can die in early game, dont get close or evade with roll
  • succubus with dogs - kill asap
9. get longroll asap
10. Best farming spot for me is Vanishing Wellspring, first buff circle on fire succubs champs
11. Secret pumpkin level is very, very dangerous, dont go on hardcore there or go in very endgame
12. Craft second weapon for farming with +exp +items +rarity stats
13. SCORPIONS is most dangerous enemies in games, big ones, which shoots heavy projectiles
from their tail.
14. If you are unconfident player, then always keep your amulet charged and do not go in new room without it, some enemies can spawn right on your face and instakill if you have bad gear/low hp
15. Beware of blue ghosts, they can oneshot you if you stay in their aura


So true...
16. Do not forget to place good equipment in chest, if your hardcore character dies, you can create new one and take items from chest, so always have backup plan for new character
17. Never play with magma spiders, you can die from explosions very easy
18. The most dangerous enemy demon power is PULL, 3 blue projectiles which pulls you in and stun for some seconds. Countless times I died from that $hit, like 90% of my deaths are cuz of it
19. If you play hardcore, prepare to cry and lost all progress
20. The gear in my build can be very long to farm, all is depending on your luck. Ive got like 4-5 legendary death machines in wellspring in no time
21. I tried other builds, yes, you can be tanky, but your damage will be low. The revolvers good only with silver bullet card which I have never seen in my 140 hours (probably the rarest card ever)
22. Most legendaries are bad and rares are far more better with right stats
23. Do not chase time challenges before end game, with bad gear you can be inattentive cuz of your rush
24. Watchout for red succub`s grenades and sword succubs jump attack, they are crazy accurate, you need longroll
25. buy all wicked and divine cards from shops
26. roll have no cooldown, so you can move fast with spamming longroll
27. when surrounded by enemies you can jump and press attack in midair to briefly stun them and create place
28. Bombs are useless
29. Medkits are useless
30. Always have 1 full health heal potion and 1 regular potion
31. dont go to chaos world before lategame
32. if you feel you about to die, press escape and go to hub/restart, Ive learned to press ESC right before my character dies
33. Craft demon powers only from rares
34. Never stay in range of essense of magic, it has crazy damage of its projectiles
Bonus


Ma boi

Interesting idea.
I based my build on the upgrade of the feather amulet - it looks like 2 feathers, and invulnerability is already given for 44 seconds. The charging method was set to "for using potions". Two potions - two paws, which have a CD of 45 seconds. You use two paws - full scale, you immediately turn on invulnerability (that's how you set it to keys 1-2-3). When you see that your paws will soon be cooldowned, you run back, use them, and become invulnerable.
The rest is not so important, but a build for 7 cards: 3 wild symbols, devil, wolf, runner, sage. Everything dark - 4 buffs to speed on kill, 2 reductions to disables (slow goes through invulnerability) and dash range.

Now I’ll try to change into a magician and compare the sensations.
