Gameplay Loop

Build Loop:

  1. Start by killing an enemy with your Knife Trick melee ability to spawn and pickup Firesprites, Orbs of Power as well as getting Radiant and Restoration and refunding your ability
  2. Continue killing enemies with Solar Weapons & Abilities to charge up Gunpowder Gamble as well as extending your buffs
  3. Once you have a fully charged Gunpowder Gamble ability, throw it at a group of enemies and either wait or shoot it to detonate the area damaging and/or killing everything around you
  4. Repeat the process

Important Notes:

  • Make use of your Healing Grenade when you don't have Restoration active and/or you need a quick Cure of health
  • Be aware of the difference between the Healing Grenade and Gunpowder Gamble as they use the same Grenade slot and you may accidentally blow yourself up thinking you're healing yourself instead
  • Pickup all Firesprites and Orbs of Power for additional build perks/benefits as these help with Ability Cooldowns and grant Buffs
  • Use your Gambler's Dodge Class Ability to refund your Knife Trick Melee Ability if you no longer have an active Melee due to losing it for any reason like missing with it
