Endgame: Level 2000 · High-Wave Woodshed

Full guide →

This is a code-audited ranking of five leading configurations, not a measured DPS leaderboard or proof of a unique global optimum. Exact ordering can change with wave density, boss composition, movement, follower survival, and rare crafted affix combinations. No live combat benchmark or observed survival percentage is claimed.

Rank	Build	Why choose it
1	Prismatic Encore Guitarist	Highest combined damage/shield ceiling in dense encounters; requires careful shield timing.
2	Iron Parade Drummer	Most dependable baseline toughness; Heavy Hands scaling, Pocket Control, sustained waves and percent-HP damage.
3	Closed Feedback Tube Guitarist	Continuous lightning pressure, grid control and beam mitigation; stronger when enemies remain in the grid.
4	Ricochet Inferno Drummer	Excellent fast pack clearing and sustain; explosions lose value when kills stop.
5	Downstroke Anarchy Guitarist	Strong charged burst and clone pressure; positioning and beam downtime make it less consistent.
