8. Character Builds
Builds that I myself have personally tested, with my subjective a*sessment of their playability and fun.
8.1 Spark + Dual SMGs
Dual SMGs is best for shooting effects, such as lightning that cast on every second shot and fireball, which appears every fourth shot.
Thanks to the large magazine and pa*sives of Spark, we will have infinitely replenished ammo and constant lightning and fire.
Take the upgrade tree for reload rate and all upgrades from the Summon tree – DO NOT NEED.
Choose Priority Upgrades:
- UPGRADES YOU SHOULD ALWAYS TAKE. You must choose upgrades to increase damage and replenish ammo.

Items. Our priority is Charged Up and Electro Affinity. The first boosts us lightning damage and receiving bullets, and the second increases lightning damage by +50%. Electrical Fire feel free to skip.
Tomes. Tome of Elements increases by third our elemental effects, and Tome of Rage increases the rate of fire on 66% and triples the max ammo. Of course, in this case, your bullet damage will be equal to 0. If you don’t want to lose in bullet damage, then take a bunch of Tome of Power and Tome of Elasticity. But in return you will get max HP -2.
