==Beginner Friendly Builds== | |||
Beginner Friendly Builds are good for starting out. These builds focus on ease of use and simplicity. Some builds will taper off in strength in the end game, but will be sufficient to get to mid game. | |||
* Usually has only one or two "active" mutations/skills (involves going into the ability menu) | |||
* > 18 toughness | |||
* usable in multiple situations | |||
* Usually has one damage option and one escape option at the very start | |||
You should play these builds if you: | |||
* Just started out | |||
* Haven't completed [[Red Rock]] | |||
* Want to see as much of the game as you can | |||
* Don't want to think too hard about strategy | |||

==Medium Builds== | ==Medium Builds== | ||
Medium Builds are slightly more gimmicky. These builds assume some level of skill and often have defects. They are often based on themes or have a harder start in order to have a stronger end game. | |||
* ~18 toughness, sometimes | |||
* Difficult to start due to being somewhat defenseless at the beginning compared to easier builds | |||
* Have a difficult defect to use | |||
* Sometimes focuses on how viable it would be in the end game | |||
You should play these builds if you: | |||
* Enjoy randomness in runs | |||
* Have survived Golgotha | |||
* Are fine with a slightly more difficult start | |||
* Like the theme behind the build! | |||
{{Cryptogull|title=Less slower than you|code=BLMLOJMOBEBXB1B4CFDZ|comment=Was a build created by choosing random, but has fun synergy with Time Dilation making up for the speed penalty from Double-muscled and Two-Hearted.

==Challenge Builds== | ==Challenge Builds== | ||
Challenge Builds have no rules on what they are other than "it's pretty hard unless you know a lot of the game". They're often built to test the player's capability instead of assisting them. They can also be focused on one theme that ignores its viability in gameplay. | |||
You should play these builds if you: | |||
* Enjoy thinking outside of the box when things go wrong | |||
* Want to use everything at your disposal to win | |||
* Think {{Gamename}} is too easy | |||
* Really want to roleplay | |||
