July 2026 Patch-Checked Strategy Analysis
TangyWiki refreshed this build database on July 23, 2026 after cross-checking official Steam announcements. The most important confirmed change is the April 4 Endless Mode rebalance: enemies now scale Armor and Magic Resist over time, leaderboards were reset, and Ghost detection Keystones were added to all skill trees.
Strong builds now need more than one damage assumption. Magic-only plans can run into scaling resistance, old Thunderclap shock setups are less reliable after the official 100% to 20% shock chance reduction, and post-reset skill trees should include detection so Ghost waves do not depend on random item drops.
The Anubis patch is tracked here as developer-preview content only. The May 14 official note confirms Desert biome work and a new Mummy enemy, but final Anubis boss mechanics, resistances, loot, and build counters should not be treated as live meta until the larger patch ships.
Tier labels are decision aids rather than official rankings. This database separates Endless scaling, boss damage, Story clears, and beginner stability, so a build can be strong for one use case without being the best choice for every mode. No new S/A/B movement is asserted without a confirmed stat or in-game test change.
