Best characters for Mastery
Characters that pick up Mastery in our curated build pool — with notes on why the combo works where we have them.
Baby
3 builds
Mastery is a huge Melee Damage spike with a minimal downside for pure melee Baby builds, dramatically increasing Stick and Rock damage to keep up with high-difficulty scaling.
Knight
2 builds
Mastery is pure upside for Knight: he cannot use ranged weapons, so losing ranged damage is irrelevant, while +6 flat melee damage multiplies with his high armor scaling and Sword base damage.
Fisherman
