CL4NK Build Strategies

Community-tested builds to maximize the robot gunslinger's S-tier potential

🎯 "Crit Build" (Mega Crit)

★★★★★ (S-Tier for Late Game Dominance)

Focus: Maximum critical hit chance and damage multiplication

Core Strategy:

🔫 Revolver (Maxed): Primary weapon with natural crit chance/damage upgrades
📖 Precision Tome: Essential for boosting crit damage multipliers
💥 Crit Damage Items: Stack all available crit damage % increases
⚔️ Attack Damage: Base damage multiplies with crit multiplier

Key Items Priority: Precision Tome → Crit Damage % → Attack Damage → Crit Chance (your passive already provides this)

Why it works: CL4NK's passive provides unlimited crit chance scaling, so you focus entirely on maximizing what each crit does. By level 50+, nearly every shot becomes a devastating critical hit.

🔫 "Bullet Hell Build"

★★★★☆ (A-Tier for Screen Coverage)

Focus: Maximum projectile count and screen control

Core Strategy:

🔫 Revolver (Level 6+): Base weapon for reliable damage
💀 Bone Staff: Secondary weapon for crowd control
⚡ Lightning Staff: Additional projectile coverage
📊 Projectile Count Items: Maximize bullets on screen

Key Items Priority: Projectile Count → Attack Speed → Projectile Bounce → Crit Damage

Strategy: Fill the screen with projectiles that all have high crit chance thanks to your passive. Works exceptionally well in crowded situations and longer runs.

📖 "Holy Trinity Build"

★★★★☆ (A-Tier for Balanced Progression)

Focus: Accelerated leveling with balanced stats

Core Strategy:

📖 XP Tome: Faster level gains = more crit chance faster
📖 Luck Tome: Better item drops and upgrade quality
📖 Curse Tome: Increased difficulty but better rewards
🔫 Revolver: Primary damage source

Key Items Priority: XP Tome (first) → Luck Tome → Curse Tome → Crit Damage

Strategy: Accelerate your journey to high levels where CL4NK truly dominates. The faster you level, the faster you reach 50%+ crit chance and become unstoppable.

🛡️ "Tank Build" (Defensive Crit)

★★★☆☆ (B-Tier for Survivability Focus)

Focus: Address CL4NK's low HP weakness while maintaining crit damage

Core Strategy:

🛡️ Aegis: Shield weapon for defense
💚 HP Tome: Boost survivability
🛡️ Shield Tome: Additional protection layer
🔫 Revolver: Still your main DPS source

Key Items Priority: HP/Shield → Movement Speed → Armor → Crit Damage

Strategy: Compensate for CL4NK's main weakness (low HP and slow movement) while still benefiting from the automatic crit chance scaling. Best for players struggling with the difficult early game.
