The rule behind every blueprint
- Hunter: choose the engine you want to trigger.
- Main weapon: create reliable events and carry the element.
- Skills: strengthen the same engine instead of starting three plans.
- Relics: improve uptime, damage channels, or the run's economy.
- Tarot: change a rule only when the loadout can exploit it.
Some less-used items use a labelled token; the item name and effect remain the decision source when artwork is not available.
JESTER BLUEPRINT
Jester Crit Window
Protect Novice's Luck, then turn Justice Heart into a short damage window.
Skill priority
- Ray of Luck
- Divine Justice
- I will be a Hero!
- Constant Luck when maintaining Novice's Luck is the problem
Relic priority
- Emperor's Holy Sword for a possible crit package
- Magician's Hat to reduce reload downtime during the window
- Survival or healing support when damage repeatedly breaks Novice's Luck
Tarot priority
- The Emperor (Upright) after collecting several Critical Chance sources
- The Emperor (Reversed) only when wider damage variance is acceptable
How to play it
Protect the luck state, then test whether the Justice Heart window provides enough safe sustained fire to justify more crit investment.
Pivot when RNG says no
If the luck state is unreliable, test Constant Luck or defensive utility before adding more Critical Damage.
V1.0.479 changed several trigger categories. Compare the current effect text before relying on a crit window.
JENNY BLUEPRINT
Jenny Dismantle Bomb Loop
Turn unwanted weapon-room drops into resources and bomb value without sacrificing a working loadout.
Skill priority
- Scrap Recycling or Simple Modification
- Twin Bombs
- Cluster Bomb
- Legendary Assembler when the run already generates enough scrap
Relic priority
- Sigil of Temperance when dismantling grants useful long-term value
- Hanged Man's Rope only with repeatable Shatter effects
- Current-element or Battle Skill Damage support
Tarot priority
- The Empress (Upright) for possible dismantle value
- The Empress (Reversed) when preserving item quality matters more
- Temperance only when the shop-refresh plan already works
How to play it
Keep a weapon that already works, treat weapon rooms as upgrade attempts, and dismantle misses while watching whether the economy repays the lost pickup.
Pivot when RNG says no
If dismantle support does not appear, test a direct bomb route with Twin Bombs, Cluster Bomb, Battle Skill Damage, and current-element scaling.
V1.0.479 capped repeat-trigger loops. Check the current shop and dismantle effects before committing to an economy route.
STELLA BLUEPRINT
Stella Starlight Tarot Route
Connect Tarot choices to Starlight-enhanced shots while keeping the weapon element and survival plan coherent.
Skill priority
- Triple Fate
- Starlit Haste
- Endless Star
- Dance of Stars or Guidance of Fate depending on the missing function
Relic priority
- Lovers' Gift when The Lovers and the Sub Weapon both add real value
- Magician's Hat when reload downtime interrupts enhanced shots
- Bullet Attack, Battle Skill Damage, and current-element support
Tarot priority
- The Lovers when the Sub Weapon contributes a useful effect
- The Emperor when the run has enough crit sources
- Avoid a rule-changing Tarot until its condition fits the loadout
How to play it
Treat enhanced shots, Tarot, and the current weapon as one testable system. Add a Sub Weapon only when its shared effect has a clear job.
Pivot when RNG says no
If no strong cross-weapon option appears, test the main weapon, Starlight uptime, and Battle Skill consistency without The Lovers.
V1.0.479 changed Transmutation and high-frequency triggers. Check the current effect text before committing to a Tarot interaction.
LONG TONG BLUEPRINT
Long Tong Amber Companion Engine
The clearest reported high-power route: let Amber repeat your weapon's elemental pressure, then add companion uptime and one element instead of splitting the plan.
Skill priority
- Amber
- Armor-Burning Dragon Flame
- Bursting Dragon Flame
- Breath of Chaos when the weapon's Transmutation is worth repeating
Relic priority
- Current-element support
- Companion or Battle Skill Damage
- Survival when Fury windows repeatedly end the run
Tarot priority
- The Fool or another trigger card only when its condition is already present
- Reliable survival or element support before a second engine
How to play it
Keep one elemental job on the main weapon, let Amber create repeated events, and use the Fury window to finish elites and bosses.
Pivot when RNG says no
If Ember Spark does not appear, keep the weapon whose element and firing rhythm let Amber contribute often; do not wait for one exact gun.
V1.0.479 may affect companion, Transmutation, and high-frequency triggers. Confirm the current effect text before using this route.
ELENA BLUEPRINT
Elena Silver Arrow Mark Route
A timing-heavy route: mark priority targets, shoot, then use the next dodge to create the Silver Arrow window.
Skill priority
- Hunting Mark
- Auto Trigger
- Painful Moment
- Survival or movement support when dodge timing is the failure point
Relic priority
- Mark and boss damage
- Dodge or movement support
- Current-element support that keeps the marked-target loop active
Tarot priority
- The Hierophant for marked-target pressure
- A reliable survival card before another conditional damage card
How to play it
Keep the mark on the target you actually need to kill, shoot first, and use the follow-up dodge as an offensive timing window rather than panic movement.
Pivot when RNG says no
If the dodge window is unreliable, take movement and survival before more mark payoff; a missed arrow is a dead condition.
V1.0.479 may affect mark, dodge, and high-frequency interactions. Confirm the current effects before committing to a damage window.
LANNY BLUEPRINT
Lanny Coin-to-Power Route
Turn coins into a controlled power curve: build income first, then spend on the window that makes the reserve matter.
Skill priority
- Lanny's Piggy Bank
- Trading Expert
- Little Makes Mickle
- Sustainable Operation when the economy starts costing survival
Relic priority
- Coin and economy support
- Trading or shop value
- Survival insurance before the All or Nothing window
Tarot priority
- The Empress for dismantle and return value
- Reliable survival before another economy condition
How to play it
Build a reserve, spend it on a deliberate shop or trade plan, and make sure the economy is producing combat value before buying another conditional piece.
Pivot when RNG says no
If income does not arrive, stop protecting the coin fantasy and take reliable weapon, reload, or survival value.
V1.0.479 may affect shop prices, return rules, and damage windows. Check the current in-game text before treating this as the best route for the run.
The Lovers: the Sub Weapon answer
Upright: eligible weapon effects and passive weapon part effects from the Sub Weapon can contribute to the build. Reversed: using your battle skill also casts the Sub Weapon's battle skill. Some effects are excluded, so inspect the result rather than assuming every line transfers.
Lovers' Gift adds Bullet Attack and Battle Skill Damage, then equalizes those two stats to the higher value. When The Lovers is owned, the relic also activates the other orientation. That is a genuine cross-weapon build package.
The dismantle package
The Empress can return an item of the same type after dismantling. Its reversed face has a lower return chance but protects item quality. Sigil of Temperance converts dismantles into Ember or Growth, while Hanged Man's Roperewards builds that repeatedly trigger Shatter. These are strong signals for Jenny's economy route.
The crit package
The Emperor (Upright) doubles Critical Chance gained from other sources and converts part of excess chance into Critical Damage. Emperor's Holy Sword adds both crit stats and can double Critical Damage when the matching Tarot is owned. This is why it belongs in Marcus and Jester crit routes, not in every run.
