Recommended Items
Recommended Items For Artificer
| Item | Recommendation Criteria |
|---|---|
| Ukulele | The Ukulele will support the Artificer's solo targeting fireballs, increasing its chance of hitting multiple targets with one enemy defeated. |
| Backup Magazine | The Backup Magazine will increase the number of uses of the Artificer's Charged Nano-Bomb. This move is useful in dealing damage to multiple enemies and stunning them. |
| Stun Grenade | Since the Artificer's fireballs damage solo targets better, the Stun Grenade will keep them in place and allow the Artificer to finish enemies off. |
| Gasoline | Gasoline is a great supplement to the Artificer's Charged Nano-Bomb, dealing damage-over-time plus spreads around to enemies nearby. |
| Paul's Goat Hoof | The Artificer does not have a dash or phase move so it has slow movement speed. Paul's Goat Hoof will help it move away when enemies get too close. |
This recommendation is based off Common (White) and Rare (Green) items for ease of finding within the game.
Recommended Equipment
The Back-up is a great equipment to support the Artificer - providing backup firepower during boss fights and when facing tankier enemies.
