Best Weapons and Abilities for Beginners
While the following abilities are lethal for earlier stages, we recommend evolving them to get the maximum out of them.
Santa Water
- Santa Water is one of the best AOE-type skills in the game. It can auto-lock onto any pool of enemies in front of your character and cause severe damage by spraying holy water.
Holy Bible
- Holy Bible is one of those defensive abilities that must be in your build, irrespective of your character. It may look a tad weak during the early game. But will benefit you greatly in the mid to late-game scenarios.
Runetracer
- Runetracer is a lethal weapon in the hand of any character like Mortaccio or Pasqualina that has perks for projectile-based abilities. It is best used in closed maps like Inlaid Library or Diary Plant, where you can inflict maximum damage by bouncing the ability from walls.
Best Weapons and Abilities for Leaderboards
Crimson Shroud
- Crimson Shroud is one of the abilities everyone should feature in their build if they are trying to reach the elite list. It blocks all incoming damage at ten and scales with the Curse power up.
Infinite Corridor
- While the Lancet may be a D-tier weapon, its evolved form of Infinite Corridor is a different beast altogether. It literally halves the health of any enemies in front of you and helps you clear waves much faster.
