Character Overview

Master the art of defensive combat with Sir Oofie's armor scaling

🌟 Passive Ability: Armor Per Level

Sir Oofie gains 1% Armor per level, making him incredibly tanky:

  • Level 10: +10% Armor (early game survivability boost)
  • Level 20: +20% Armor (mid-game tankiness)
  • Level 50: +50% Armor (significant damage reduction)
  • Level 100: +100% Armor value (approximately 57% damage reduction due to hyperbolic scaling)

This passive synergizes perfectly with the Armor Tome and defensive items, making Sir Oofie the easiest character to build for new players.

✅ Strengths

  • Armor Scaling: Becomes tankier every level automatically
  • Starter Character: Available from the beginning, no unlock needed
  • Sword Proficiency: Strong melee weapon with good range and area damage
  • Beginner Friendly: Most forgiving playstyle for new players
  • Consistent Performance: Reliable for loot farming and character unlocks
  • Simple Build Path: Stack armor and health for near-guaranteed success

❌ Weaknesses

  • Not S-Tier: Lacks the explosive scaling of top-tier characters
  • Limited Late-Game: Other characters outperform in high-difficulty content
  • Slow Start: Armor bonus takes time to accumulate early game
  • Melee Range: Sword requires close combat positioning
  • Basic Playstyle: Less exciting than characters with unique mechanics

Sir Oofie Build Strategies

Proven builds to maximize Sir Oofie's tanking potential

🛡️ "Immortal Tank" Build

★★★★★ (Best for Survivability & Beginner Success)

Focus: Maximum armor stacking and defensive capabilities

Core Equipment:

  • ⚔️ Sword (Weapon): Your reliable starting weapon - upgrade to max level for consistent damage
  • 🛡️ Aegis (Weapon): Blocks attacks and sends shockwaves - perfect defensive synergy
  • 📖 Armor Tome: Multiplicative armor bonus that stacks with your passive
  • 🌹 Thorns Tome: Reflects damage back to attackers while you tank

Key Stats to Prioritize: Armor %, Max Health, Health Regeneration, Damage Reduction

Strategy: Stack armor items to synergize with your passive ability. With armor scaling formula, you can reach 80-90% damage reduction, making you nearly unkillable.

🛡️ Armor Scaling Formula:
Damage Reduction = (Armor Value) / (0.75 + Armor Value)
Example: 100% armor value = 57% damage reduction | 200% = 73% reduction
Your passive + Armor Tome + items can easily reach 150-200% armor value

⚔️ "Balanced Sword Master" Build

★★★★☆ (Good for Balanced Offense/Defense)

Focus: Balanced approach with sword specialization

Core Equipment:

  • ⚔️ Sword (Maxed): Focus upgrades on your signature weapon
  • 🪓 Axe (Weapon): Throws spinning axes for additional area damage
  • 💪 Damage Tome: Boost overall damage output
  • 📖 Armor Tome: Keep some defensive scaling

Key Stats: Attack Damage +%, Attack Speed +%, Armor +%, Critical Chance

Strategy: Balance your natural defensive scaling with offensive weapon upgrades. This build clears waves faster while still maintaining good survivability.

🎯 "Character Unlock Specialist" Build

★★★★☆ (Optimized for Grinding Unlocks)

Focus: Survive long enough to complete unlock requirements

For Calcium (1,000 Skeletons):

  • 🛡️ Max survivability build with Armor Tome
  • ⚔️ Sword for consistent skeleton killing
  • Run Forest tier repeatedly for skeleton spawns

For Ogre (15,000 Goblins + 2,000 Sword Kills for Axe unlock):

  • ⚔️ Max Sword first to unlock Axe weapon
  • 🪓 Then add Axe for faster goblin clearing
  • Focus on survival over speed - consistent runs accumulate kills

For Athena (Thorns Tome Level 9):

  • 🌹 Prioritize Thorns Tome in every upgrade choice
  • 🛡️ Use tankiness to survive while leveling the tome
  • Requires blocking 250 attacks with Aegis first to unlock Thorns Tome

Sir Oofie Progression Guide

Priority: Survive early waves and establish baseline defense

  • Upgrade Sword to level 3-4 for consistent damage output
  • Take any Armor or Max Health items when offered
  • Learn sword combat timing and effective range
  • Stay mobile - don't get surrounded by enemies
  • Your armor passive is still weak - play cautiously until level 10+
2

Priority: Armor passive becomes noticeable, add tomes

  • 10-30% armor bonus starts making significant difference
  • Add Armor Tome for multiplicative armor stacking
  • Consider adding Thorns Tome for passive damage
  • Prioritize defensive items to synergize with passive
  • Can play more aggressively due to increased survivability
  • Begin working toward character unlock goals
3

Advanced Levels (30-60)

⚔️ Sword Combat Tips

Master these techniques for effective sword combat:

  • Optimal Range: Stay at sword's maximum reach to hit without taking unnecessary damage
  • Area Damage: Use sword's wide arc to hit multiple enemies per swing
  • Crowd Management: Position yourself to maximize hits on grouped enemies
  • Boss Strategy: Circle bosses to stay at their sides, avoiding frontal attacks
  • Aggressive Tanking: Use your high armor to position aggressively for better DPS

⚠️ Common Mistakes

Avoid these pitfalls when playing Sir Oofie:

  • Ignoring Armor Items: Your passive multiplies armor effectiveness - always prioritize armor
  • Playing Too Safe Early: You're tankier than you think by level 20+
  • Pure Defense: You still need damage to clear waves - don't neglect offensive upgrades
  • Standing Still: Even tanks need to move and position properly
  • Using Only Sword: Add Aegis, Axe, or tomes for more versatile builds
