20 Minuten bis zum Morgengrauen – Shana Shotgun Build for Darkness 0

This guide describes what upgrades to take to obtain a powerful build that is capable of defeating Darkness 0 without runes and scales into higher Darkness with Runes

Charakter

Shana is available by default.

Why take Shana?

• Shana gives the ability to reroll the upgrades available on level up, making it easier to hunt for specific upgrades and synergies.
• Zusätzlich, getting her Bonus XP Ascension from the first Boss can get you Snowballing into a powerhouse with level 60+ nach 20 Minuten.
• All bonuses on her Halo Ascension benefit this build greatly since core stats are reload speed and firing speed.
• Be mindful not to grab an upgrade with a penalty (written in red ingame) after gaining the „triple next upgrade“ ascension.

Waffe

The Weapon used for this build is the shotgun. Fire a volley and reload. That is the strength I want to emphasize.

Core Upgrades

The build focuses on shooting and reloading as quick as possible to deal damage and create a safe zone around you. This safe zone is mainly kept up by Fan Fire and later by the upgrades in the Frost Mage-Tree. The capstone Shatter in this tree provides insane crowd clearing and should be high priority after the second boss (the charger).

This is a list of the core upgrades in order of priority (baring Shatter) that are essential for the build:

• Quick Hands (+20% Neu laden, +5% fire rate)
• Fresh Clip (Reload rate +5%, +30% Bullet Damage for 1 second after reload)
• Double Shot (Projektile +1, Verbreiten +15, Bullet Damage -10%)
• Fan Fire (Last shot fires 10 additional bullets around you with 15% base bullet damage)
• Mini Clip (+100% Neu laden, Bullet Damage + 50%, Max ammo -666)
• Schnellfeuer (+25% Feuerrate)
• Armed and Ready (+10% neu laden, +2 Max ammo)
• Power Shot (+25% Bullet damage, +20% Rückschlag)
• Gun Mastery (+15% Bullet damage, fire rate and reload; +1 max ammo and Piercing)
• Light Bullets (+15% Feuerrate, +1 Max ammo, +15% Bullet Speed)
• Big Shot (+25% Bullet Damage, +40% Bullet Size, -16% Fire rate)
• Reaper Rounds (+15% Bullet Damage, +1 Piercing, killing Bullets continue to pierce)
• Death Rounds (-1 Maximale HP, bullets gain an additional 10 Grundschaden)
• Frost Mage (bullets gain 35% chance to freeze enemies…)
• Eisschard (Firing the last shot releases 3 ice shards that freeze enemies)
• Shatter (frozen enemies explode on death dealing 25% max hp damage)

If none of the above upgrades are available, consider grabbing one out of skill trees already started or from the following section.

Utility Upgrades

When no core upgrades are available and their upgrade-trees are maxed out or you struggle with a certain aspect, these upgrade trees synergize with the build or help in general ways:

Eile Baum:
The upgrades in this tree make it a lot easier to outmaneuver the enemies.

Holy Shield Baum:
This tree gives recurring protection and bonus movespeed/reload when not needing it. Lightning upgrade from this tree should be ignored in this build.

Take Aim Baum:
The additional Bullet Speed causes your shots to travel farther and gives access to additional piercing, making it a fine choice to largen your safe space and fire further into the enemies.

Magnetism Baum:
easier acces to XP and later upgrades can significantly boost dps.

Vitalität Baum:
In Case of emergency, increase max Life.
