Masochist

3 builds

Scythe directly feeds Masochist’s passive by dealing self-damage and adding even more damage when you get hit. This creates a powerful feedback loop where your stats spike each wave and turn you into a whirling blender in the middle of enemies.

Entrepreneur

1 build

Scythe provides a ramping damage bonus each time you are hit, which helps offset Entrepreneur’s reduced damage modifications if you have enough sustain and defenses.
