Characters
There are currently two playable characters: Vantage and Bruiser.

Vantage:
  • a long ranged moth with a focus on mobility and quick movement
  • paired with multiple boost and dash upgrades can zoom around the map and enemies in no time and opens up a whole world of possible combos and builds, from DOT (poison/fire) to a pure DPS build with a ton of cleavers and knives




Bruiser:
  • melee moth with low mobility but high survivability
  • you trade off your range and mobility for an ability to slow down time while getting a huge boost in HP (be careful, it decays quickly but can be stacked)
  • personal build: focus on poison and fire DoT as you won't need to be up close as much, combined with upgrades to your E ability (honestly your main ability) makes you basically unkillable after the 3rd boss (beware the flaming kamehameha tho... that still hurts!)


Example of a Bruiser build after a completed run on Difficulty 3:

After the 2nd boss

After the 3rd boss

End build (ignore the time, took breaks in between regions)

Loot
There are 3 types of chests: Green, Blue and Purple




Green -> Defense (HP items)



Blue -> Utility (Movement, Cooldown, Ability amount)



Purple -> Offense (DPS items, DoT)

Bosses (SPOILERS)
