Some items in this Hiker Speed Demon Hiker 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.
Focus on movement speed to trigger the Hiker's passive ability, which grants materials and HP for every 80 steps. Use Jousting Lance to convert movement speed into damage output.
Focus on getting multiple Jousting Lances early. The weapon's high base damage lets you invest in defensive stats instead of damage upgrades. Prioritize movement speed and economy items.
Build healing through regeneration and consumables. Ball and Chain provides excellent armor and damage. Focus on reaching but not exceeding around 70% movement speed.
Stack defensive stats to survive. Power Generator converts movement speed to damage. Mirror key items for additional scaling. Focus on dodge and armor to handle elite waves.
Avoid items focused on material generation since enemies drop 50% fewer materials. Focus on movement speed and defensive stats instead.
Keep moving constantly to maintain Jousting Lance damage and trigger the passive. When using keyboard, tap a third direction when switching between left and right to avoid stopping. Don't exceed 70-80% movement speed if you struggle with dodging at high speeds.
