Go Bat-gun + Abby.

Simple as that, this gets overpowered fast.


Runes I use (by no means required, just unable to turn them off so I'm listing them)

Mysticism for extra freeze and burn, great for slowing the hoard when you're standing still late game.
Vigilance just so you can pick up more exp
Elemental Barrage just because it's a bonus that will apply pretty frequently with the build
Momentum just so you can pick up the exp faster
Wild Magic cause it's unusually strong and will pretty much make the entire hoard freeze.
Blessing because it's a free relic to start

Wild magic is a great one to aim for to make life easier, super strong at max level with a 25% chance to spread.

Never left click with this, just walk around, right click as soon as you reload and focus on dodging everyone and everything, what you want to work on is getting double shot and all of those upgrades as well as making sure to grab bouncing bullets and piercing, some extra summon / bullet damage goes a long way too.

You may have some trouble with the first boss if you haven't managed to get double shot and ice, but you can expect a super chill experience at least by the time you've killed the second boss providing you didn't get super unlucky with the unlocks.

Near the end you'll also want the unlock that gives you a 33% chance to not consume ammo whilst stationary but that's not a requirement for this at all.


Try to start with Double shot as your first or at least second level up if you can and make sure you start on your way to bullet bounce
Work on getting Frost mage and Frostbite for quick and easy clear, especially if you have wild magic.

If you manage to get ice, +1 bounce, double shot and back shot you should be able to or at least soon be able to stand still for the first boss.
16:18, level 9 I was able to afk the squiddy boy.

From that point onwards all you really need to do is stack reload speed, bullet / summon damage piercing and bounce and you should be able to almost fully afk the rest of the game (first main boss will probably require some dodging.)

Magic lens is a good one as once you're in the center not moving and your bats are flying to and from, past and through you they will go through the lens more than once and that extra bounce you can attach to it really shows

Knifey boy is useful for his 40% summon damage boost.

Tome of rage is a great curse / boost to take if it shows for you, if not hopefully grab tome of summoning

Anything that triggers on second, fourth shot etc is a superb addition and will proc very frequently.

You may notice if you have frostbite that tree's will die too.

I haven't heard of a build that allows you to let go of your keyboard like this quite yet, if not for having to right click after every reload I guarantee you would be able to just tape down your mouse and tab out for parts of this.

The pictures are taken from a half assed attempt, you can expect a lot better, especially if you don't want to just afk holding right click. If you plan on moving around a lot (or want an easier time collecting exp grab the fire ball relic.)
