How it rates

Each meter is out of 100, where 100 is the best any build in the game reaches on it. The priorities are what the optimizer was asked to favour for this playstyle.

Best build for each fight style

The best build that swings its melee weapon most of the fight (melee), or shoots its bow most of the fight (ranged), or deals most of its damage with Tumbleshot arrows as it rolls (rolling), or deals most of its damage as Soul damage (soul). Score is its score for this playstyle as a share of the best build above. In the optimizer, the Fight style filter on the Priorities tab finds these for any mix of priorities.

Fight style	Gear	Score
Melee	Redstone Wrecker · Scatter Crossbow	22%	Open
Ranged	Greataxe · Creaking's Reach	32%	Open
Rolling	Rascal's Razor · The Close Ranger	100%	Open
Soul	Spectral Spear · Scatter Crossbow	17%	Open

Best damage build against each boss

Bosses take more damage from some damage types and less from others, so the best weapons and artifacts change from boss to boss. Damage taken is how hard the build's damage mix hits that boss: above ×1.00 it plays to the boss's weaknesses. Under each build, the best melee, ranged and rolling build against that boss, scored against it.
