A VERY EFFECTIVE END GAME BUILD
By Sharkykette
So I have just finished the game and since there is so little content about it (which is a shame because it is one of the hell of a good game) it has motivated me to post this guide to show my end game build to whoever is interested. So let get it with the DREAM TEAM :

Ian the Scary Spooky Sampler Skeleton


- Beat: Beak Box (2x Haste to player)
- Class Mod: Sampler, Gives Ian the ability to MIX multiple Beats together into a single action. Equipping this Mod in the Class Mod slot will convert his Aux Mod slots into Beat slots, allowing him to equip up to three total Beats.
- Beat: Nauseating Belch (2x random negative measure effects to enemy )
- Beat: Rat Battery (hits thrice)
- Patch: Rinna Rinna Triple Rinna, The wearer's "REMIX" ability may now select 3 beats to use at once.
- Patch: Barry Club, Each time the wearer performs an action, there's a 20% chance they'll swig a Bountiful Barry's, healing the entire party for 33% their maximum health.
Each hit in multi-hit attacks has a 20% to trigger the effect, but it may still only occur once per action.

STRATEGY :
Sampler is completely broken by the way, ALWAYS start with Ian and in one turn you will have the full bar with speed and 2 debuff to the enemy bar, after that Ian will be main healer, because with Remix and 3 rat batteries the healing of barry club is more that likely to happen, and it outperform a lot of the healing abilities Briff is able to provide and for almost no hype cost, while being able to reapply buff and debuff at the same time.

Faye the Headbanger who got brain damage

- Beat: Banshbash (Replaces all negative measure effects on enemy's bar with Slow)
- Class Mod: Crowdsurf (Ultimate), 20 glam, deals OBSCENE NOISE damage to ALL foes, massively damaging Faye in the process.
- Mod: BIG ANGRY RIFF OF FURY, 3 glam, deals HEAVY NOISE damage to ALL foes.
Applies WEAKEN to the player's bar.
- Mod: Make it Worse, 0 glam, deals LIGHT MELODY damage to ALL foes.
EMPOWERS all existing negative measures on both the player's and enemy's bars.
- Patch: Delayer, Any Noise damage dealt by the wearer will now knock back the target enemy's bar position by nearly half a measure.
OR
2-STOKED, Increases the wearer's max Hype by 20% and gives them a chance to recover additional hype when striking foes.
- Patch: The NOW NOW NOWs, Increases the wearer's Speed gained from Haste Measure Effects by 100%.
Also increases Speed cap to 125 while on Haste. Always grants 80% bonus Speed while on Haste, even if it is Empowered.

STARTEGY :

Faye is the Main DPS of the band, but with this build instead of the glass cannon she is with her show-off version, she is able to stay on field while she will dish out quite a lot of damage to all the enemies at once with her BIG ANGRY RIFF OF FURY, that you should just spam like a brain dead monkey until she is out of hype, but before that she might have to use either her beat for replace the debuff by slow (witch is the only one who matter) if you were unlucky with the random debuff or make use of Make it Worse, for turning that slow to even slower version. Otherwise she just has to passively accumulate speed and attack regularly, most of the time you will have 3 actions to spend by the time the enemies can perform one, and you should do it until you run out of Hype.
Briff the Busker have friendship and courage and whatever

- Beat: Cuttlebuddy (1x Cuttlefish to player)
- Class Mod: The Power of Friendship (Ultimate), 30 glam, restores a HEAVY amount of HYPE to the entire PARTY. EMPOWERS all existing positive measure effects on the player's bar.
- Mod: Hypercussion, 4 glam, restores a MODERATE amount of HYPE to the PARTY.
- Mod: Good Vibe Preservation, 4 glam, applies FORTIFY to the player's bar and a SHIELD modifier to any positive measure effects on it.
- Patch: Pokalyps, Increases the amount of Glam generated by the wearer's skills by 50%.
- Patch: BotB (100) Novelty Patch, Increases the wearer's Hype regen by 20%.

STRATEGY :

Out of hype ? trouble to generate glam ? Well, Briff is here for that main purpose. The main goal is to use The Power of Friendship (literally) to either give hype to Faye and empower that sweet bar of full speed. Cuttlebuddy is situational but it can be great for applying the weakened debuff but otherwise you can get rid of it for just more speed. Good Vibe Preservation can be use for fortify but it's situational since Faye will apply weaken to herself, (but if a big boss hit is incoming it can be useful) same goes for the shielded speed but it lack synergies with empowered and since in one action you can get get a full bar of speed with Ian, i would recommend just to use The Power of Friendship when needed instead, it will have the beneficial advantage of filling the glam bar relatively quickly.

Performance TIP
If you have set up correctly, you should have a full empowered speed bar and the opposite bar should be filled with some slow debuff, so when it come to performance it more optimal to go with sampler Ian, so those bars will stay the same and you would have the damage anyway.
Conclusion
With this build i have defeated the finals bosses first try, so i believe it’s a good one, but obviously is not the only one who is viable, and trying to figure out what works and what doesn’t was half of the fun so i recommend to experiment around it.
