Two Scythe Poison Goobert (Venomancer Subclass)
This build inflicts as many Poison stacks as possible to quickly deplete your enemy’s HP within a few ticks during nighttime. It has one of the fastest and biggest DoTs DPS for the Reaper loadout, but it’s pretty difficult to scale with since you need two Death Scythes to work correctly. You also need at least three Glowing Crowns to ensure sustainability since you won’t bring in any Lifesteal items. Here is what you need for the Two Scythe Poison Goobert build:
- Two Death Scythes
- Poison Goobert
- At least three Glowing Crowns
- Snake
- Moon Armor
- Moon Shield
- Demonic Flasks
- Jynx Torquilla
- Heroic Potions
- Corrupted Crystals
One Scyth Poison Goobert (Venomancer Subclass)
This build follows the blueprint of the previous one but instead focuses more on stacking on defense. Instead of using two Death Scythes, you will opt for a Pandamonium, so you have more slots to include more defensive items. You want to stack up on Wooden Bucklers and Moon Shields. However, this build will require more Gemstones like Emerald and Corrupted Crystals to ramp up your damage.
- Deathscythe
- Pandamonium
- Poison Goobert
- Cap of Resilience
- Stone Hel
- Snake
- Three Wooden Bucklers
- Moon Shield
- Emeralds and Corrupted Crystals
- Gloves of Haste
- Glowing Crown
- Various Food Items like Garlic and Banana
Two Goobert Death Scythe (Venomancer Subclass)
This build focuses on building a character while also applying Poison debuffs. The setup revolves around surviving long enough to let the match reach up to Nightfall, so your enemies will die from Poison and Fatigue damage. You will need a Poison Goobert and a Steel Goobert to make this work effectively since you need both to make you durable while stacking debuffs. It would help to use as many gemstones as possible to improve the set further, like Ruby and Topaz. Here is everything you need to play the Two Goobert Death Scythe build:
- Poison Goobert
- Steel Goobert
- Death Scythe with Emerald Gemstones (high-quality ones)
- Snake
- Moon Shields with Corrupted Crystals

Vampiric Death Scythe (Venomancer Subclass)
While this build still mainly utilizes Poison damage, the goal here is to sustain yourself with Lifesteal while letting damage over time finish off opponents. This loadout requires only one weapon because you will be focusing on armor. Two Vampiric Armor is important because it ensures a sustainable build to help you survive fatigue. Here is everything you need for the Vampiric Death Scythe build:
- Death Scythe
- Two Vampiric Armor
- Snake
- Poison Goobert
- Two Moon Shields
- Two Cap of Discomfort

Pestilence Bomb Scythe (Hexblade Subclass)
This build aims to drop as many Poison stacks as possible to kill enemies in a few ticks quickly. You will also be using Cursed Dagger here to inflict extensive burst damages due to the amount of debuff your opponent already has. While it does have some protection, it’s not enough to let you survive until Nightfall. The build eats Stamina moderately, so you must finish fights as early as possible. Here are all the necessary items for this Pestilence Bomb Scythe build:
- Death Scythe
- Darksaber
- Five Strong Pestilence Flask
- Four Stone Skin Potions
- Two Strong Health Potions

Debuff Burst Darksaber Build (Hexblade Subclass)
This build also focuses on inflicting as much debuff as possible to increase your Darksaber’s damage. While you won’t be stacking that many Poison stacks like other loadouts, you will deal with other status ailments via your weapon. However, you will need tons of Gloves of Haste to increase the attack speed of Darksaber, or you won’t get to place enough debuffs to kill your enemy. Here is everything you need for this build:
- Darksaber with Perfect Emerald and Flawed Amethyst
- Cursed Dagger with Chipped Emerald
- Poison Goobert
- Mood Shield
- Corrupted Armor
- Glowing Crown
- Two Stone-Helm
- Four Gloves of Haste
- Flute

Return Debuff Mr. Struggles (Witch Subclass)
The current meta is dominated by debuff-inflicting builds, so this one takes advantage of that by returning all status ailments to the enemy. However, you might have a brutal time-fighting enemies without debuffing attacks. Your build focuses on stacking up potions and using two Death Scythes to deal damage since your goal is to inflict status ailments while returning the ones you are afflicted with. Here is everything you need for this build:
- Two Death Scythes
- Mr. Struggles
- Three Strong Demonic Flask
- Demonic Flask
- Four Health Potions
- Three Strong Pestilence Flask
- Stone Skin Potions
- Leather Armor
- Cap of Resilience
Note: Once you have completed your builds, you must supplement them by adding more items to help you survive more rounds. Adding Potions, consumables, Gemstones, and defensive equipment can help you reach and complete Survival stages.
