BUILD / IChoose the route first, then spend every slot with intent.
Quick answer

Choose a weapon route first, then make the rest of the run serve its trigger, economy, and protection layer. A route is ready when you can explain what repeats the damage, what resource limits it, and what keeps you alive while it repeats.

Detailed route guides

Each route uses the same decision order: identify the character and gate, secure the weapon path, build the core engine, then adjust early, mid, and final priorities around the route's resource bottleneck.

I / EdeyieMid to high Hard Mode

Mighty Sky Dragon

A greatsword Whirlwind route that uses Scholar Lizard MP sustain to keep the main skill online.

TalentsWrath for boss damage and defense penetration; Defense for low-HP recovery and an extra revive; add crit or weapon damage after the shell is stable.

Early

Take the greatsword route and enough Defense to survive the low-HP setup. Do not dilute the first rewards with unrelated elements.

Mid

Push Hypersensitivity and the Whirlwind engine, then add Guardian and Sturdy so repeated special attacks also buy safety.

Final

Layer weapon damage, crit, range, and dash comfort only after the MP loop is reliable. Use Whirlwind to own clustered rooms and boss adds.

Blood Sucker Samurai

A lifesteal blade route that trades dash comfort for sustain and defensive uptime.

Weapon pathBlade -> defensive blade tree

TalentsSwiftness for attack speed, evasion, and dash recovery; Luck for better fountain capacity and earlier sustain pieces; add weapon damage once the defense is stable.
Good forPlayers who prefer close-range recovery and can plan their exits around one dash.
Core engine

Early

Accept that the build starts slowly. Prioritize a second source of lifesteal or defense before chasing damage, because one dash makes early mistakes expensive.

Mid

Build Guardian first, then Sturdy. Use Windong or dash recovery to make the fixed dash count less punishing while lifesteal begins to pay back close-range trades.

Final

Add attack speed, weapon damage, and thorns after sustain is reliable. Stay close enough to hit, but leave a safe exit lane before committing to a pack.

III / EdeyieEarly progression to mid-tier Roots Retreat

Planet Summoner

A Deer staff route built around Planets, Windong, and bond artifacts rather than crit stacking.

Build role: Planet and ranged-pressure reference
CharacterDeer
UnlockComplete one run without using the Wishing Fountain.
Weapon pathStaff -> Planet-supporting ranged route
Starter itemDark Planet artifact iconDark PlanetPair it with Telescope; use Luck to increase fountain capacity and improve the odds of finding the Planet package.
TalentsLuck first for early progression; with more points, combine Luck and Swiftness for attack speed, movement, and Bond Artifact access.
Good forPlayers who want ranged pressure while repositioning instead of forcing crit scaling.
Core engine

Early

Take Luck and establish one Planet piece before searching for a perfect inventory. Staff range and movement are more important than forcing crit.

Mid

Add Windong and the second Planet support, then use Bond artifacts to make the autonomous damage loop more consistent while you reposition.

Final

Finish the Planet family, increase attack speed and movement, and keep the route clean. Deer has a severe crit penalty, so spend slots on Planet scaling instead.

IV / EdeyieEarly to mid-tier; can scale higher with a complete cold package

Frost Relic Princess

A cold-damage dagger route that turns Frostbite into both control and scaling damage.

Build role: Frozen Smelt cold-control reference
CharacterWizard Bunny

Weapon pathDagger -> cold weapon tree -> Blizzard Scythe direction

TalentsWrath for boss damage and defense penetration; Swiftness for dagger attack speed, evasion, dash count, and dash recovery.

Core engine

Early

Use Icebolt to soften the dagger's close-range opening. Take cold support when it also improves Frostbite or helps the weapon route reach its next form.

Mid

Prioritize Frost Relic and Glacier together. The build becomes much stronger when Frostbite is applied often enough to make control and damage reinforce each other.

Final

Stack cold damage, attack speed, and movement. Consider a Tiny Magic Conch sacrifice only when it improves Frost Relic without breaking the rest of the inventory.

Bolt Speed

A crossbow barrage route that converts attack speed, reload speed, and extra bolts into pressure.

Early

Get the crossbow firing smoothly before chasing maximum numbers. Reload speed and movement keep the weapon from feeling stuck between magazines.

Mid

Build Precision, Windong, Sturdy, and Bolt Speed as one package. More bolts matter only when the weapon can reload and keep the player in a safe firing lane.

Final

Add attack speed, magazine size, normal attack damage, and crit. Preserve an escape route because high fire rate does not protect you from enemies that reach melee range.

Shield Bash

Core engine

Early

Learn guard timing with Sword and Shield. Take Defense before greedier damage because the route is designed to survive mistakes while the special attack is still weak.

Mid

Turn Cleave into Shield Bash, then solve MP regeneration. Guardian and Sturdy make blocking valuable; Lake and MP Regen keep the attack from stalling.

Final

Add special-attack damage, lower the special cost, and keep shield-related artifacts active. If rooms are slow, add efficient damage without abandoning the guard engine.

VII / EdeyieMid-tier; Scholar Lizard is a progression gate

Porkinator

A pig-themed Scholar Lizard crossbow route that pairs sustained MP with minigun fire and lightning.

Early

Use the crossbow while building Magitech and defense. The pig variant helps, but the character still has a low-HP identity that needs respect.

Mid

Push toward the minigun weapon form and add Lightning support. MP is an engine for both special attacks and Seran's Rush Letter shields.

Final

Complete Magitech and Lightning, then add attack speed and sustained-fire support. Keep enough defense to survive the long rooms where the minigun pays off.

Meteor Spam

A fire-and-burn route that uses Red Snake Eyes Ember to turn normal attacks into meteor coverage.

Weapon pathSword -> Axe route that reduces meteor cooldown on connected normal attacks
Starter itemRed Snake Eyes Ember artifact iconRed Snake Eyes EmberBuild the surrounding fire and Burn package rather than treating the meteors as a side effect.
TalentsAttack Speed is the starting axis; add movement, fire damage, Burn support, and survivability as the meteor loop becomes active.

Core engine

Early

Find Red Snake Eyes Ember and keep normal attacks frequent. The build is about creating more meteor events, not only making each burn tick larger.

Mid

Move into the Axe route and add Oak Tree Coal, fire damage, and Burn stacks. Every connected swing should help the next meteor arrive sooner.

Final

Finish the fire-and-Burn package, then tune movement so the player can remain near enough for meteor coverage without being trapped by melee enemies.
