The Ultimate SNKRX Build, From Base Game To NG+5
By Winter
The title says it all. This is a nearly foolproof build and you will legitimately struggle to die even if you're trying.

Overview
Okay. Over the course of my time playing this game, I've discovered a combo that legitimately cannot die, can be AFKed, and will usually oneshot the NG+5 bosses. It works best on NG+5 but with some sacrifices can work on any difficulty, and it can be used to beat the entire game in a single run.

Summary and Gameplay Guide
To play this right, you need to get a T3 Scout up as soon as possible. Scout/Squire start is the best for this. Make sure to get a Merchant relatively soon. You then want to get a T3 Jester up as soon as possible. This essentially wins every fight and gets you enough money to complete the set.

The way this works is simple. The maxed rogues all have chaining projectiles, and each chain does extra damage. This one-shots large groups of enemies, and the L3 Thief ability can kill bosses easily. Maxed Cursers is also vital, since you will be relying on the critters spawned by the Infestor and Infesting Strike to block Ice Bomb projectiles.

It's hilariously overpowered, I highly recommend you try this out. It will win you the game in a single run if you loop continuously.

spent 100 gold rerolling without getting a single one of these items.

If I had to guess why this build doesn't want to push the Swarmer synergy...
It's because as soon as the Infestor's critters have more hp, your game will suffer greatly in the late game.

Only works when your main attackers dont get 1 shot from the enemies that dash:/

Honestly, I'd substitute Scout for Beastmaster, since this is a combination of a Rogue, Curser, Mercenary, and Swarmer, and would greatly increase the potency of the critters.
