AFK Methods

⬥ AFK relies on only allowing one phantom to attack you at once by either:

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Standing in a corner, causing phantoms to pile up to be hit with AoE damage such as

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Using a platypus or tooth creature pet to block phantoms. A cannon with the Restocking Cannon upgrade is not necessary for this, but increases kph. An aggression potion can be used instead, but yields less kph.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Hellhound familiar active.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Revo++ and auto-retaliate enabled.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Kinetic cyclone and Scrimshaw of Vampyrism switched on.

⬥ Armoured phantoms can be AoE'd efficiently using . Stand in the middle of your cannon as shown below so that the cannon can hit any phantom which approaches you.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• You are positioned nearer to the back of the room to avoid risen ghost aggression.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Use after using

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Prioritise AoE during , squeeze in some if there's sufficient adrenaline.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• → after ends.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Use and in . Use depending on procs.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Try to get as many resets as possible when building adrenaline.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Use when HP falls below ~20%, sip if needed.

​

⬥ Try to have key bound somewhere in that order so you can spec and switch back to easily by pressing 3 side-by-side keys.
