Glass Cannon Loadout

Defenses: Shields:

• Swiftstrike Buckler:

This shield will not save your skin as often as other shields, but it will significantly increase your attack speed. If you can dodge and avoid getting hit in general, this shield will certainly help you defeat monsters quickly.

• Barbarous Thorn Shield:

Increases sword power. This may help if you're using swords with the Chaos Set (to max out the sword damage bonus) and rely less on attack speed, plus it has more defense than Swiftstrike Buckler.

Armor and Helmets:

• Black Kat set:

Black Kat Cowl
Black Kat Raiment

• Chaos set:

Chaos Cowl
Chaos Cloak

Using one of these sets, or combining one item from each of these "glass cannon" sets will let you deal a lot of damage. Chaos will help with Charge Time Reduction, so wearing it as a bomber is ideal. Black Kat will increase your movement speed, allowing you to get out of the way quickly, even without dashing. Both increase damage output significantly. Since the Black Kat items can be difficult to obtain, chaos is generally preferred for economic reasons.
