Author's notes

Snowball or Die. Get Napalm to level 3 ASAP for the +33% Damage, and use it before meleeing to deal big damage. Unstoppable prevents parrying. You have to play risky with this build, if you're ahead just buy more damage and you'll start one shotting people if all goes well. You either go 20/2 or 2/20, there's no inbetween with this one I'm afraid. https://www.youtube.com/@VistayeGames

Item categories

1Fundamental Early Game Items (0 -> 12 Minutes)
Author's category · 6 items
1. 1
  Close Quarters
  Get this instantly to help with farming minions, and any early melees you can get off!
2. 2
  High-Velocity Rounds
  Builds into Opening Rounds, which buffs your damage nicely.
3. 3
  Opening Rounds
  Built from High-Velocity Rounds
  Grants Spirit Power, Weapon Damage, and makes your melees stronger against healthy enemies. Great for applying pressure and forcing enemies to play safe.
4. 4
2Early / Mid (Get these two when you're done with Early Game Items)
Author's category · 2 items
1. 1
  Point Blank
  Built from Close Quarters
  Point Blank is a BIG damage boost. +50% Weapon Damage applies to your melee hits, and also grants YOU Melee Resist (which you will need if you're constantly punching people.)
2. 2
  Lifestrike
  Built from Melee Lifesteal
  BIG Source of Healing. Also an unskippable item. Also slows enemies allowing for easy follow up punches.
3Mid Game - Mostly L -> R. If you are ahead, keep that momentum by buying more damage. GET UNSTOPPABLE!
Author's category · 10 items
1. 1
  Spirit Snatch
  Built from Spirit Strike
  More Melee Damage, and saps Spirit Power from the enemy. What's not to love?
2. 2
  Hollow Point
  Deal more melee damage when you're healthy.
3. 3
  Debuff Reducer
4Anti-Parry Protection. Fleetfoot Early if necessary, Colossus Late is Great!
Author's category · 2 items
1. 1
  Fleetfoot
  Fleetfoot is a good investment if you're against people who can parry. Provides good value in itself with extra mobility, but having a way to bait parries for 1600 is valuable.
2. 2
  Colossus
  Great item for late game as a source of cancelling heavy melees, and surviving more in fights. +30% Melee Damage is splendid too.

Categories appear in the author's order. Only the editor's default Early, Mid and Late sections are marked as game stages; the author's own categories keep their names. “Built from” links come from the game's item recipes.
