#My best build that I came up with on my own.

in short, this is a build over ice. The focus is on movement and charged attacks that waste energy.
The maximum damage I could squeeze out was 3760~
at the moment
Waiting for criticism

So ur build focuses mostly on cold dmg right?

There's still a bit of lightning, but we're playing for lightning so...
maiden dagger
yes but how much of ur dmg is just cold dmg?

Since you're using Mortal Heart, which makes you not be able to get hearts back, and you deal mostly cold dmg, you would benefit more from dropping the phys convert to lightning dmg runes into having both runes that reduce cooldown and the one that gives you a chance to get a heart back. Doing this will pretty much guarantee that you won't die at all
Hope it helps 👍

Yes, but enemies die faster than they can damage me with three or four hearts, and an apple for the opportunity to collect a heart removes the opportunity to die altogether.

true, but you really don't benefit from the lighting dmg on a build like this. Improvements can be made and im happy to help if you want it :)

It's here because I can't replace it with frost damage, and the rest of what's there instead of lightning is complete BRUH
maiden dagger
i suppose
but i've heard the heart collecting soul fruit is inconsistent, and if thats ur only way of getting hearts back, u will die eventually

Actually, no, I've already played for 60 hours and I haven't died once since I got the apple to repair my heart...
maiden dagger
in that case, it should be no problem 👍
but since i can see the game getting more difficult, making sure builds actually have tank is a thing to consider
that's why i put tank on my builds
even tho currently you don't really need it
maiden dagger
i mean yeah that works, im just saying there are more consistent and better ways of having tank

On the contrary, I don't feel any pressure from the game right now, the bosses fall in twenty seconds, even if the dinosaurs give silksong flashbacks. But there's still no pressure yet, and even Ice Golems can't hold out under that kind of damage.

This all looks ice solid
Vortex can build up the ice aura, heavies deploy blizzards and tears that triple dip Freezing stacks; you'll get Frozen pretty quickly on paper, which then feeds back into Obscured from blizzards to mitigate incoming damage on top of temporary hearts.
If anything, the defensive aspect is kinda overkill. Crystallic Regrowth alone is enough at +16 with a decent player.
Lightning I get. There's not much choice in some slots, so you fill it with something that works generally. Fortunately, lightning synergizes with cold, although you aren't leaning heavily into that synergy here.
The lesser augments are decent picks, too. Assumed you'd be using the overpowered ones, but no, you've got a trio of balanced lesser augments that each contribute to your cold damage.

My build vs Dinosaurs

That freezes as instantly as I thought it would
