Poison Spreader

EasyAoEProcBeginner

Open fights with Epidemic so poison spreads through the pack, then finish stragglers with Neurotoxin. Poison can't kill and leaves enemies at 1 HP, so the build runs on items that fire when something dies or gets hit.

Equipment

Primordial CubePulls a room into one clump for Epidemic to chew through.
Molotov (6-Pack)Six molotovs ignite enemies for 500% base damage. Fire can kill where poison can't, so it feeds Gasoline and Will-o'-the-wisp.

Why the core items

GasolineEach kill ignites everything within 12m, which chains deaths through a poisoned pack.
Will-o'-the-wispKills drop lava pillars. Another kill trigger for the 1 HP enemies poison leaves behind.
UkuleleEpidemic's 1.0 proc coefficient gives Ukulele its 25% roll on every target the plague touches.
AtG Missile Mk. 1Same logic: 10% per hit adds up fast when Epidemic spreads to 20 targets.
Backup MagazineExtra Neurotoxin charges let you finish stragglers without waiting on the 2s cooldown.

How to play it

Epidemic spreads when it hits an enemy or the terrain, so aim at the ground near flyers to get the plague onto them.
Poison leaves enemies at 1 HP. Keep a Neurotoxin charge for anything you need to finish at range.
Activate a leap while falling to cancel the fall damage.
