⚔️ Core Weapons Setup

Manual-aim, piercing primary with reliable ranged supports

Sniper Rifle

Sniper Rifle

CORE

Signature weapon. Manual-aim, piercing shots excel at isolating elites and bosses from range. Scales exceptionally with Precision (crit/overcrit) and Quantity for more volleys.

Bow

Bow

ESSENTIAL

Lane-pierce clearing. Lines up groups so Sniper can focus priority targets. Benefits from Quantity and Projectile Speed.

Revolver

Revolver

SUPPORT

Reliable filler DPS. Extra projectiles/bounces smooth out downtime between Sniper shots. Scales with Quantity and Cooldown.

📚 Tomes Priority (Community-tested)

Crit/overcrit → more projectiles → more frequency; adapt to drops

XP Tome

Early Loop (Community)

POPULAR

Many players open with XP → Luck → Cursed to accelerate scaling. Treat this as a common approach, not a hard rule. Browse all Tomes

Precision Tome

Precision

HIGH

Crit/Overcrit scaling. Great with Sniper’s high base damage. Prioritize when available.

Quantity Tome

Quantity

HIGH

More projectiles for all weapons → more chances to land crits and clears.

Size Tome

Size

HIGH

Bullseye explosion radius now scales with Size. This converts the more frequent marks into safer and more consistent pack clears.

Projectile Speed Tome

Projectile Speed

GOOD

Faster shots reduce misses on moving targets; feels especially good on Sniper/Bow.

Cooldown Tome

Cooldown

GOOD

More frequent attacks across the board; pairs well with Battery.

Damage Tome

Damage

LATE

Multiply established crit damage once your core tomes are online.

Battery

Battery

ATTACK SPEED

+8% Attack Speed. Smooths fire cadence; pairs with Cooldown Tome.

Mirror

Clover

Clover

UTILITY

Increases Luck, improving drops and event odds; complements scaling paths.

Eagle Claw

Eagle Claw

SITUATIONAL

+66% damage vs airborne enemies and a chance to launch (knock-up). Not a crit item.

Power Gloves

On-hit explosions (not attack speed). Fun wave-clear option if it drops early.

Triggers lightning on hit on a cooldown; supplemental AoE rather than speed.

Time Bracelet

+8% XP gain. Experience accelerator; choose if you want faster scaling.

🛡️ Optional Defensive Weapon

If you want extra safety alongside Sniper/Bow/Revolver

Blocks and emits shockwaves. Take if you want a defensive tech slot; adjust tome picks accordingly.

⏱️ Suggested Progression

A pragmatic, drop-driven route—feel free to adapt per run

0–3 min

🌱 Establish Economy

Pick up Sniper Rifle early if offered. Many players favor XP / Luck / Cursed as an opener for momentum. Stay at range and level safely.

3–8 min

🎯 Build into Crit

Add Precision and Quantity. Slot Bow second for lane control. If you see Tactical Glasses or Battery, they plug in cleanly.

8–14 min

⚡ Stabilize DPS

Pick Revolver as third weapon, then weave in Cooldown / Projectile Speed. Add Boss Buster for elite/boss focus and Mirror for safety.

14+ min

🔥 Multiply Damage

Layer Damage tomes once core scaling is online. Optional utility like Clover (Luck) or on-hit AoE (Power Gloves / Thunder Mitts) depends on drops.

⚠️ Common Mistakes

❌ Misreading Item Effects

Tactical Glasses is +20% damage vs >90% HP (not crit chance). Power Gloves / Thunder Mitts are on-hit effects, and Time Bracelet is +8% XP.

❌ Calling “Headshots” a Separate Stat

The build scales with crit/overcrit. Use Precision, then Quantity/Cooldown to increase attempts.

❌ Standing Too Close

Play to Bush’s strength—manual-aim, long-range, piercing shots. Keep space and kite.

❌ Over-diluting Weapons

Three-weapon core keeps tomes concentrated. Add a defensive weapon only if you truly need it.
