SZN's Leveredge (#1🌵OFF-META)This setup’s been tried, tested, and it don’t quit, smooth solos all the way up to Nightmare with x3 spawns. Helping Hand (x2) for Co-Op, and Speedy Gunzales for Solo; Ritual is your campfire in the storm, big healing, covers your whole crew, and works great alongside Pistoleros; Bandito is HIM, slap some electricity onto your secondary, and he’ll start clearing enemies like tumbleweeds in a dust storm. The main rule out here is to loot everything that ain't nailed down... Crates can drop jokers, and jokers... well they've got a funny way of bringing in more jokers, and that's where things really start snowballin'.+529
🌵Bandito Duo🌵Long Ranger & BowCopy Bandito with Portal, cast Fire Wisp, empower both spells with an electric Bow, and watch hordes melt away.+40
Long Ranger (Bow)Use the Portal to duplicate the Banditos and to escape when necessary. Use the Bow for AOE damage/horde clear, and to electrify-supercharge the Wisp and Banditos. Keep the Long Ranger out as much as possible to proc Focus Shot constantly. However, due to the Speedster cap being hit, the two Speedy Gonzales are considered filler slots for your personal playstyle since the build can function to its fullest without them.+19
the explode-ogundo you like gambling? what about explosions? well, this build fulfills them both! introducing the explode-ogun, a minigun build all about those sweet, sweet booms! spells can be swapped out, but this is the recommended loadout. this build is good in solo, but better in multiplayer.+6
Speedy SniperHit hard and move fast, Pretty simple. The build is highly effective, and incredibly fun and rewarding.+6

How it playsPlaybook

A cactus golem that fights for you. Bandito is the Cactus school's heavy hitter - a powerful autonomous unit that engages enemies independently while you work a different angle. It's not permanent and it's not free, but while it's active it's doing real work.

Strategy

Deploy it at the start of a tough encounter to split enemy attention and add sustained damage you don't have to aim. The golem handles itself, so you can focus on mobility, objective tasks, or finishing off targets it's weakened. Bandito + Pistolero together can effectively hold a zone while you deal with priority threats.

Strengths

Autonomous high-damage unit requires zero maintenance
Splits enemy aggression between you and the golem
Strong in objective-based encounters where your hands are full

Weaknesses

Very long cooldown - losing it early hurts
Golem can't reposition once placed

Combos featuring Bandito

Elec PortalCactus Ulti (Bandito)
Doubled Bandito
Spells thrown through Elec Portal are duplicated, so Bandito's huge wave gets cast twice. Devastating against tightly-packed groups and the easiest way to scale the spell's already-high damage. Every player now carries their own pair of portals (up to 8 in a four-player run), so keeping one open for this is easy.
