Fox - Projectile Storm - Screen-Covering DPS

Sword carries this build despite being unexpected. The wide cleaves scale massively with size upgrades and end up outdamaging everything else. Lightning Staff handles crowd control with chain lightning. Firestaff attacks fast for crit scaling. Katana boosts crit naturally and adds execution. You'll need to face enemies directly since Sword is directional. Stack projectile count for all weapons. Sword becomes the unexpected main damage despite Fox being known for projectiles. The wide cleaves scale exponentially with Size Tome upgrades - by Stage 3 each Sword swing hits 10+ enemies. Lightning Staff handles crowd control with chain lightning. Firestaff attacks fast for crit procs. Katana boosts crit naturally. You'll need to face enemies directly since Sword requires directional aim. Stack Quantity Tome for projectile count on all 4 weapons - creates screen-covering fire.

Big Bonk is your win condition (legendary) - 2% chance for 20x damage means consistent nukes with high attack speed (expect 20x proc every 2-3 seconds with 4 weapons). Cursed Grabbies scale with attack speed for sustained DPS. Echo Shard speeds up leveling which maximizes Fox's luck passive (+1% luck per level). Beefy Ring and Oats keep you alive in early Stages 1-2. Clover and Credit Card stack with Fox's innate luck for better upgrade RNG. Moldy Cheese adds poison DoT. Item search priority: Big Bonk > Grabbies > Echo Shard.

Tomes selected: Quantity Tome, Damage Tome, XP Tome, Cooldown Tome. Quantity Tome is the foundation—maximizes projectile count which is the core build strategy. Damage Tome provides multiplicative scaling. XP Tome accelerates leveling to stack Fox's passive luck bonus faster. Cooldown Tome increases attack speed. CRITICAL: Explicitly chose NOT to take Luck Tome because "the fox character gets 1% luck every level"—letting the passive handle luck scaling naturally. This tome setup focuses purely on offensive output.
