Wildling

2 builds

Slingshot is a ranged Primitive weapon, so it fully benefits from Wildling’s +30% Lifesteal while its bouncing shots hit multiple targets per attack. This makes it perfect for Endless-focused setups that rely on stacked Ranged Damage, Attack Speed and Crit Chance to clear large waves and sustain through self-damage items like Blood Donation.
