BAIT USAGE/GAMEPLAY - WAVES 1-15

BAIT USAGE: Bait, bait, bait. The very thing that powers the Spearfisher, or all Fisherman builds for that matter. In early waves, follow this chart: 1 Tier I Spear: 1-2 Bait 2 Tier I Spears: 1-2 Bait 3 Tier I Spears: 2-3 Bait 4 Tier I Spears: 2-3 Bait Anything beyond this in Tier I: 3-5 Bait, depending on how close you were to dying last wave. If you have all six weapon slots in Tier 2, Take as much bait as you can. You are going to need the damage. GAMEPLAY: Get the items listed below. Focus on Armor, Melee Damage, and Crit Chance. In order to dodge the bullets emitted by the baited creatures, go to a wall and walk along it so that the bullets don't hit you. A simple search for any fisherman build will have this strategy.

BAIT USAGE: ANY WAVE PAST 15

BAIT USAGE: Take as much Bait as you can. Go for attack speed. KEEP YOUR RANGE AROUND 0, TRY NOT TO GO INTO THE NEGATIVES (up for scrutiny, you guys can copy this and use it I don't care about upvotes) GAMEPLAY: If you are doing over 100 damage Please, if you care at all, if you use this build, ping me on Discord and tell me your max wave. My user is TheOwlian, same as here. (you can find me on the brotato-builds official discord. You also can change and improve any part of this build. Remember, I am an idiot, and any advice (including critical) will be welcomed.

[PLEASE READ: Starting waves (1-20), important stuff in caps]

Your goal: Melee Damage and stuff that STOPS YOU FROM GETTING HIT (DODGE), and when you do, it DOESN'T DO all that MUCH DAMAGE. Do this by BUYING ANYTHING that gives ARMOR and DODGE, within reason. You will absolutely SHRED bosses, so wasting a (typically) hefty price on silver bullet is the last thing you should do. Try going for the item ADRENALINE and RIPOSTE. You also really want ATTACK SPEED. ATTACK SPEED will carry your game. BY THE END OF ROUND 20, YOU SHOULD HAVE 175 ATTACK SPEED AT THE LEAST. I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. ITEMS: Get the remaining items on the big list (I don't got the energy to put the rest down, but the really important ones are on this section)
