Crit Bullet Hell
Build Card
- Recommended Weapons: Revolver / Bow (crit-friendly), Left Wheel / Shuriken (crowd spam), Axe (single-target)
- Tomes (order): Precision (Crit) → Quantity → Cooldown → Damage
- Stats to stack: Projectile count, Crit chance/multi, Cooldown uptime, Area (optional)
- Best fits: CL4NK (crit gunner), Ninja (speed + crit), Dicehead (crit stacking)
- Weak vs: Early density if you over-greed crit, Tight maps without a panic tool
- Beginner preset: Quantity → Cooldown → Precision → Damage; take a simple AoE tool early to stabilize waves.
- High-Curse preset: Precision → Quantity → Cooldown → Shield; keep max range and kite elites.
Core Mechanics & Gameplan
High-APM projectile spam that multiplies Crit × Quantity × Cooldown for screen-wide coverage and boss deletes.
Weapons & Upgrade Path
- Revolver / Bow — Revolver / Bow (crit-friendly)
- Left Wheel / Shuriken — Left Wheel / Shuriken (crowd spam)
- Axe — Axe (single-target)
Tome Priority & Why
- Precision (Crit) — rationale depends on your kit; synergizes with this archetype’s multipliers.
- Quantity — rationale depends on your kit; synergizes with this archetype’s multipliers.
- Cooldown — rationale depends on your kit; synergizes with this archetype’s multipliers.
- Damage — rationale depends on your kit; synergizes with this archetype’s multipliers.
Step-by-step Route
Phase 1 (0–4 min) — Stabilize wave-clear and safety; lock Tome #1, secure one tool for crowds and one for elites.
Phase 2 (4–8 min) — Finish main weapon upgrades; add Tome #2–#3; set up boss damage (burst or sustained).
Phase 3 (8+ min / Boss) — Cover weaknesses (Shield/Armor/Evasion), align cooldown windows, and kite smartly.
Common Mistakes
- Greeding damage before wave-clear is stable.
- Ignoring shrine tempo / pot routes.
- Overcapping one multiplier (e.g., Crit) and starving Quantity/Cooldown/Area.
- Taking Tome picks that conflict (e.g., heavy melee commit without defensive backup).
Map Notes & Matchups
- Open maps favor kiting and projectile arcs.
- Tight maps require early control (Aura/Aegis) and cooldown management.
- Elites with charges need spacing or grouping tools.
Patch Notes (keep updated)
- Track buffs/nerfs that change weapon/Tome priority.
