Build planner

How tomes and weapons fit together

• Damage Tome and Cooldown Tome help every weapon. Damage multiplies all hits; Cooldown is attack speed.
• The other weapon tomes matter most for weapons that use that stat. The wiki's weapon table lists no Size upgrade for the Revolver and no Duration for the Bow, so those pairings are likely wasted. The planner flags them.
• Quantity (projectile count) fits almost everything. 24 of the 28 weapons with documented upgrades list Projectile Count; Aura, Space Noodle, Frostwalker and Dragon's Breath do not.
• Since v1.0.64, Bone and Shotgun roll Crit Chance / Crit Damage upgrades instead of Knockback, so the Precision Tome pairs with them.
• Banish and the Toggler keep your pool small: the final-boss guide below disables every weapon, tome and item it does not want so the wanted ones show up more often.

Sourced builds

These come from player guides, not from our own testing. Each guide's date matters, because patches changed several values later.

Final boss: Wireless Dagger with any character

From a Steam guide written for v1.0.12. Keep only two weapons — your starting weapon and the Wireless Dagger — so each gets more upgrades. Tomes: Quantity, Armor, Cooldown plus one open slot (Damage is the simple choice). Restart if you do not have Wireless Dagger + Quantity within the first 5–10 levels. Wanted items: Spicy Meatball, Anvil, Chonkplate, Demonic Soul, Beefy Ring + Demonic Blood, Boss Buster, Forbidden Juice, Battery. Do not open paid chests on stage 1; spend gold at Shady Guys instead.

Spooky Steve: execute and crowd control

From "The Definitive Steve Guide" (Dec 2025 – Jan 2026). Dexecutioner is mandatory because its execute still works on Steve; add Frostwalker and Black Hole, and Aegis if you play Athena (the guide says only Athena's Aegis blocks Steve's hit). Tomes: Duration, Cooldown, Quantity, XP. Avoid Difficulty (it makes Steve faster) and Knockback. Full fight notes on the bosses page.

Graveyard and Big Bob

From IvanIronfist's Graveyard guide (Dec 2025, before v1.0.49). Weapons: Dexecutioner, Katana and Aegis next to your starter. Items: Moldy Cheese for bosses and the Sucky Magnet. Extra jumps (or Monke's wall climb) matter because Big Bob floods the room with lava.

Chaos Tome unlock run

From a Steam guide (Oct 2025): Bandit for his Dexecutioner, plus Sniper Rifle, Katana and an area weapon (Revolver, Lightning Staff or Bananarang). Tomes: XP, Quantity, Bloody (lifesteal), Regen. Banish the Beacon. Route and rules on the Chaos Tome page.

What we did not include: "best character" or "best weapon" rankings. We have not found a source with a clear, current basis for one after v1.0.64, so we would rather not invent it.
