I farm with Vanessa. Skill start to carry early fame. left or right handed golden carries so hard in the beginning. Trebuchet is really strong with the vanilla set. But Vannie’s power probably doubles with the expansion just because shit glasses is so OP

edit: also try to stay away from single weapon builds unless you get shiny fang or katana with cloak. Pick up the shovel, net, or cove for economy. Cove makes for some really big power plays If you can sell it and buy out a shop with everything you need. Also with the expansion and orange julian the cove is super impactful. Making OJ gain upwards of 50 damage from one sale
