Backstab compo
The Shade and The Physicist combo works really well. Since the balls are affected by gravity, they bounce rapidly and reach you very quickly. Once you upgrade the Dark Ball into the Assassin version, pair it with the Ruby Hilted Dagger — enemies will go down fast. Because the balls bounce around so much and hit early, the Rubber Band passive is also a great addition to keep the momentum going.
Storm Lightning Chain - Electric Mayhem
Storm (Lightning + Wind) creates chain lightning for multi-target damage. The Juggler increases attack variety. Lightning Rod and Flash (Lightning + Light) amplify electric damage. Great for medium-density waves. Add War Horn to scale baby ball lightning damage.
Sandstorm Speed Run - Fast Clear Strategy
Sandstorm (Earthquake + Wind) is S-tier for quick wave clears. Use The Radical for movement speed and The Itchy Finger for DPS. Rush Fleet Feet and Radiant Feather for maximum mobility. Excellent for biome progression and time-sensitive runs. Add Baby Rattle for extra ball generation.

Focuses on creating Holy Laser evolution for maximum single-target damage. Use The Physicist for increased evolution efficiency. Stack Laser (Horizontal) and Laser (Vertical) balls early.

Nosferatu Ultimate Evolution - Late Game God
The ultimate late-game build requiring Vampire Lord, Spider Queen, and Mosquito King for Nosferatu. The Spendthrift and The Physicist maximize evolution chances. Requires deep understanding of evolution paths. Use Soul Reaver fusion for additional healing. Unstoppable in endgame content.
