Some items in this Fisherman Nightmare beater build require unlocking before they can be used. Note that items listed in "Avoid" sections are also shown here - check the build details to see if unlocking them is necessary for this strategy.
Early game (1-5)
From the start, you need a lot of baits. Play risky and fail fast - buy three baits from every shop. Spears are wonderful starting items because they deal a lot of damage to enemies following you, plus they make you a bit tankier. However, your endgame strategy is to pivot to shotguns or another ranged weapon; therefore, you should not invest too heavily in spears. Three or four spears are probably enough. The issue with ranged weapons early on is that they cannot kill enemies fast enough, and you want the Lampreys dead quickly. Build mainly attack speed, though armor and lifesteal are also valuable since you will likely lose quite a bit of health at the beginning of the rounds.

At some point, you will notice that the Lampreys are dying to your shotguns before they can charge at you; at that point, you can increase the amount of baits you buy. When that happens, you have reached the point where your damage begins to snowball heavily, and the rest should be relatively easy. Replace all your spears with shotguns. The issue with spears is that they do not scale well into the endgame; they deal a ton of damage, but that doesn't matter when you are completely surrounded by enemies. You still want plenty of attack speed, and maybe some ranged damage (though not a ton, because the damage bonus from baits will carry your run).

I reached the point where I had 1000 baits in endless mode. Just buy them all. It is very beneficial to have cursed scopes/bunnies, because you will be rerolling a lot. You may also pivot into other ranged weapons if you wish.
