Build Core
Smart targeting projectile weapon with bounce potential. Intelligent dagger tracking.
Multi-bullet ranged weapon ideal for crit builds. Fires multiple bullets with high crit scaling.
Magic weapon that summons lightning to strike nearby enemies with chain potential.
Robinette does not have a default weapon and starts with an empty weapon slot. This allows for a flexible playstyle that can adapt to the situation.
- Why these are optimal: The Wireless Dagger is great for a hit-and-run playstyle. The Revolver and Lightning Staff are also great for a balanced approach, as they provide a good mix of crowd control and single-target damage.
- Upgrade Priority: Focus on upgrades that increase damage, attack speed, and projectile count, as these are the most important stats for a combat build.
- Key Mechanics: Her passive gives a shop discount and increases gold drops, allowing you to get more weapons and upgrades.
Increases the Luck stat improving the chances of receiving higher-tier rewards from level-ups and chests.
Increases the amount of experience gained from all sources, allowing for faster level-ups during a run.
Increases the base damage of all weapons and attacks. A universal upgrade for any build.
Tomes are essential for amplifying Robinette's power and providing her with the necessary utility.
- Essential Tomes: The Luck Tome is a must-have, as it improves shop quality and gives you more chances to get S-tier items. The XP Tome is also a high priority, as more levels mean more shops. The Damage Tome is also a great choice for boosting overall damage.
- Acquisition Order: Focus on Luck and XP tomes early on to get a good foundation.
- Tome Synergies: The Cooldown Tome is also a great choice, as it helps you get more attacks in. The Shield Tome and Health Tome are good for survivability.

These items are critical for a money-focused build and are essential for reaching Robinette's full potential.

These are optional items that provide quality of life improvements.
