Poe Ratcho
An early survivor who starts with Garlic and gains 25% pickup range at the cost of 30 maximum health. His starting aura makes the opening minutes safer while the build's larger damage zones come online.
Garlic supplies Poe's first protective aura and lowers enemy resistance to knockback and freezing. At level 8 with Pummarola, it evolves into Soul Eater, which can heal Poe and gains damage from recovered health.
How to Obtain
Combat Strategy
- ▸Invest the first few level-ups in Garlic so its aura can clear weak enemies safely.
- ▸Take Peachone and Cross when they appear, then secure Pummarola and Clover for their evolutions.
- ▸Defeat early bosses and collect their chests because evolved weapons are the build's major power spikes.
- ▸Stand inside the overlapping Soul Eater and La Borra zones so enemies take damage before reaching Poe.
- ▸Let Heaven Sword strike nearby threats and use Soul Eater's debuff to amplify its knockback.
- ▸Use Attractorb's pickup range to gather experience without leaving the protected center more than necessary.
- ▸Once Vandalier is active, keep enemies inside its twin bombardment zones for the build's highest sustained damage.
- ▸Move to collect boss chests whenever an evolution is ready, even after the build can otherwise hold position.
- ▸Use Knife and Thousand Edge as the demonstrated fallback when Axe does not appear early enough.
- ▸Take Axe later if a weapon slot opens after forming Vandalier, then evolve it into Death Spiral with Candelabrador.
- ▸Swap Crown for Duplicator when offered if extra projectiles matter more than faster experience gain.
