Starting weapon

ChainswordChainsword

Character ability

Gains +5% Strength for every weapon and passive equipped. +1 Save reduces incoming damage.

Playstyle & priorities

Strengths
Equipment-driven damage: each new weapon or passive adds +5% Strength; 120 Wounds and +1 Save give room for close slashes.
Weapon choices
Early slots: add BoltgunBoltgun for forward fire alongside ChainswordChainsword’s horizontal sweep. Take Tape MeasureTape Measure for wider slashes and the Eviscerator ChainswordEviscerator Chainsword route; then concentrate weapon ranks rather than collecting unrelated upgrades.
Upgrade priorities
Prioritize Range via Tape MeasureTape Measure to catch more enemies per sweep, then Reload via BandolierBandolier to reduce attack gaps. GauntletGauntlet adds damage while also filling a passive slot.
Combat pattern
Skim one side of a pack so enemies line up across the slash, then face the escape lane for BoltgunBoltgun fire. Turn after a sweep instead of crossing the middle; Save is a buffer, not a reason to trade hits.

Starting weapon

LasgunLasgun

Character ability

Gains +1 Redeployment every 15 levels (max 2). Gains +5% Veterancy for each Follower.

Playstyle & priorities

Strengths
Follower-led leveling: each Follower adds +5% Veterancy. A starting Redeployment and +10% Move support recovery and collection, not deliberate deaths.
Weapon choices
Upgrade LasgunLasgun first for reliable nearest-target damage; add ChainswordChainsword if packs close in. GauntletGauntlet supports damage and the MeltagunMeltagun route.
Upgrade priorities
Take GauntletGauntlet and BandolierBandolier before extra utility if kills are slow. Once damage holds, White DwarfWhite Dwarf complements the Follower experience bonus; GlueGlue helps when fighting nearer targets.
Combat pattern
Make collection loops through cleared ground and pick up Followers when safely reachable. Keep the nearest enemy at a controlled distance: LasgunLasgun loses damage at long range. After MeltagunMeltagun, approach an isolated boss from open space, then peel away before the pack arrives.

Starting weapon

Frag GrenadeFrag Grenade

Character ability

Applies the Battleshocked status effect to nearby enemies at critically low Wounds. Finds more explosives.

Playstyle & priorities

Strengths
Explosive opportunist: finds more explosives, with +10% Move and Sustain. Low-Wounds Battleshocked is an emergency opening, not a health level to maintain.
Weapon choices
Rank up Frag GrenadeFrag Grenade for the opening, then add BoltgunBoltgun to aim fire down a chosen lane: grenade targets are random. Pair it with BandolierBandolier to throw more often.
Upgrade priorities
Prioritize BandolierBandolier to shorten explosive gaps, then GauntletGauntlet for damage. If chip damage forces repeated retreats, take Liquid Green StuffLiquid Green Stuff or permanent ToughnessToughness for a larger buffer or recovery.
Combat pattern
Bunch enemies behind you along a broad curve, then face outward to shoot a clear exit while grenades hit the trailing pack. Detour for explosives only across cleared ground; if Wounds turn critical, use the status window to disengage rather than stay inside the crowd.

Starting weapon

Tempest AxesTempest Axes

Character ability

Moves 20% faster. Gains +10% Range every 5 levels (max 30%).

Playstyle & priorities

Strengths
Mobile sweep fighter: +20% Move and level-based Range growth suit broad passes across a pack’s edge rather than standing inside it.
Weapon choices
Concentrate ranks in Tempest AxesTempest Axes first; take SabatonSabaton for the Whirlwind AxesWhirlwind Axes route. Add Boltstorm PistolBoltstorm Pistol when you need nearest-target shots during turns between slashes.
Upgrade priorities
Secure SabatonSabaton for the route, then favor GauntletGauntlet and BandolierBandolier to improve damage and attack frequency. Add Tape MeasureTape Measure when wider sweeps would reach another row of enemies; extra speed need not displace damage every level.
Combat pattern
Run parallel to a pack, let the series of slashes extend into its flank, then use your speed to loop around the cleared end. Avoid turning back through the same dense center just to retrieve a pickup.

Starting weapon

Nebulous Sea-FogNebulous Sea-Fog

Character ability

Gains +5% Chance every 5 levels (max +30%). Finds more endless spells.

Playstyle & priorities

Strengths
Hidden character; playable availability and unlock conditions are unknown. Her ability favors Chance growth and finding endless spells.
Weapon choices
The assigned starting weapon is Nebulous Sea-FogNebulous Sea-Fog: a nearby damaging, slowing fog. An acquisition route and usable weapon progression are not established.
Upgrade priorities
Range via permanent RangeRange is a sensible coverage direction if she becomes selectable; do not reserve a passive slot for an unconfirmed evolution route.
Combat pattern
If selectable, work along the fog’s outer edge so approaching enemies enter the slowing area before surrounding you. The fog is not evidence of immunity or a safe stationary build.

Starting weapon

Brazier StaffBrazier Staff

Character ability

Gains a random stat buff for every 100 coins collected. Finds more Ur-Gold runes.

Playstyle & priorities

Strengths
Coin-driven growth: every 100 collected coins grants a random stat buff; more Ur-Gold runes and +10% Tithe favor safe collection routes. The next buff is not predictable.
Weapon choices
Develop Brazier StaffBrazier Staff’s arcing magma first and take Liquid Green StuffLiquid Green Stuff for the Master of RunesMaster of Runes route. Add Boltstorm PistolBoltstorm Pistol if single enemies keep interrupting collection.
Upgrade priorities
Prioritize BandolierBandolier and GauntletGauntlet so magma clears collection space; Liquid Green StuffLiquid Green Stuff also supports the route. Permanent TitheTithe improves coin income, but do not budget a guaranteed number of extra random buffs from it.
Combat pattern
Clear a crescent around coin drops with magma, collect through the cleared inside, then shift to the next cluster. After Master of RunesMaster of Runes, lead pursuit into its ground explosions; never cross an uncleared pack for the next 100-coin threshold.

Starting weapon

Rope & GrapnelRope & Grapnel

Character ability

Gains a bonus to Chance and Move when lots of enemies are in sight.

Playstyle & priorities

Strengths
Crowd-responsive controller: many visible enemies grant Chance and Move bonuses; +25% Sustain and +10% Range support controlling a pack without entering its center.
Weapon choices
Keep Rope & GrapnelRope & Grapnel for restraint, but add Boltstorm PistolBoltstorm Pistol early for direct nearest-target damage. Take White DwarfWhite Dwarf for the Ghost of RheaGhost of Rhea route; do not rely on the hook’s possible instant kill against bosses.
Upgrade priorities
Favor BandolierBandolier for more frequent weapon use, then GauntletGauntlet for damage. HourglassHourglass extends attack and effect time; add it after damage is stable, rather than sacrificing every early rank to duration alone.
Combat pattern
Trace the outside of a visible pack, let hooked enemies lag behind, and use the crowd-triggered movement bonus to change flanks. Cut through cleared gaps, not the center; more enemies in sight does not require letting them touch you.
