Do you like what you see? Good, come in.

Strikers are generally the best options out there. Airborne striker balls or those left on the ground can easily be re-activated with your Bulbin Buddy's knockback attack, giving you additional damage sources without having to break your dodging streak. They also have the highest damage modifiers, so even though a Hammer and a Striker might share the same attack value in the status window, the striker would still end up giving more damage to your Bulbin Buddy and Snortoise Armour.

The Splatshot in particular is the best heavy Striker ball right now. It has high base damage, which is used to calculate your Bulbin Buddy and Snortoise Armour damage, and also provides good utility through its passive and skill. But weaker weapons like the Basherball may also have interesting skills or passive effects that could be used to support your allies or simply make your life easier...so don't sleep on them!

The Bulbin Buddy's strength does not only come in the damage it deals, but through the knockback effect that comes with. Most non-boss/miniboss rots can be locked into place and denied of all attacks if you just keep pushing them back with the Bulbin Buddy.

---

This piece of armor is why you want to stick to the Power Class. The power dodge (...or hop) allows you to activate the effect of this armor for each dodge you make. Adding this to your Bulbin Buddy allows you to deal multiple hits and decent damage within a short period of time.

---

Being that you are in the Power Class—which also increases your resistance to wind, hitstun, and knockback effects—there's nothing wrong with making yourself even tankier. And if you are only dodging the entire fight, then the effect of this armor will always be active.

This is an alternative piece of armor that specifically only benefits you in Molded Grave. Poison is nasty and the little numbers can add up and weaken you over time. Using Snortoise Boots in the Molded Grave will make you feel what Peppa Pig does with puddles.

Strikers have access to moves that bring them airborne, but some of these moves can be quickly cancelled with dodges and vice versa. Even on its own, the dash attack tech shown above can be performed to quickly build up hit streaks for the Striker. By applying that knowledge to this build, you will be able to generate more shockwaves over time for more AoE damage.

To recreate:

1. Run towards a target. Make sure that your character collides with their body so you don't run past.
2. [While holding your run] Keep tapping Dodge and Light Attack to activate your dash attack.

The key components of this set (Bulbin Buddy and Snortoise Armor) still works and deals nearly the same damage if you decide to go for lighter gear and use the tech demonstrated previously. Faster dodges and dash attack cancels generate more attacks and more shockwaves. In the following example, you can see me trying out the Agile Class with the high-powered Belle of the Ball (Floracrane Weapon) and Bulbin Sash (Legs Slot).


While you may lose useful defensive utility such as Yammo's passive 40% damage reduction and the Power Class's dodge invulnerability/iframes, changing up your gear allows you to adjust your mobility, take advantage of stronger equipment, and gives you freedom to switch your combat playstyle on-the-go with other useful tools and skills available in the game.

The Aspect of Enigmox (Boss of Blisterbane Bog) is a good choice. Dodge Speed makes you dodge faster, which then improves your damage by activating Snortoise Armor more often and it helps you react faster towards incoming enemy attacks.

Although the Aspect of Swarm may also prove effective—making it easier for you to travel across the map—the increased dodge distance might make it harder for you to precisely control your character with a mouse+keyboard if you are aiming to lock enemies into place with Bulbin Buddy's attack hitstun.

Some of the best choices for this set are:

• Attack Dice (extra hits)
  
• Sting Like A Bee (100% crit after perfect dodge)
  
• Orb of ZAP! (leaves an orb on dodge)
  
• With A Little Help (summon minions on kill)
  
• Parting Gifts (bombs on dodge)
  
• Bloodthirsty (lifesteal)
  
• Thrill Seeker (+40% damage, +30% damage taken)

...and pretty much other powers based on Hit Streaks and Critical Hits will work very well with this set.

If you want to read an (old) list of powers, come check this thread I made based on the last playtest[forums.kleientertainment.com] which includes all the powers in the game at that point. Look into the Dungeon Powers section in the list.

So you know what you need to do, now go out there and stick your face to everything like hot glue!

Please rate the guide if you find it useful so that others may also find it easily. Feel free to leave a comment as well to let me know if I made any mistakes.

P.S. Snortoise Armour works while you're knocked out and flopping about!
