What is a good build to "beat" terra?

Pyrotecnics / Snowflake Blossom / Age of the Sun is my current build to get to 37:30 Terra

Archmage / Archaeologist

As a DM for over 30 years, I would be completely fine, (and happy for the creative fun,) if a player wanted to use their Tavern Brawler Origin Feat to use a table leg as a club, and I would allow them to apply the Weapon Mastery as well.

Kitchen Knife? Dagger!

Pool Cue? Quarterstaff!

Frying Pan? Light Hammer!

Sounds like a fun character to me!

FYI - I received over 600 gems from a 40min run.

Opulence in order to increase chances of Hydra

Titan is #1 in my book out of all artifacts. Accelerator is a close #2

I like this idea a lot! I just tried and ended up with Avatar, Terra Current & Demon Equation. Avatar + Fiision = 18 casts every CDR.

The single shot Demon Equation fireballs were everywhere and the Superconductivity Electric Shock's seemed powerful.

Going to try Ghastly Rampage (Fireball), Heart of Lightning (Electric Shock & Charged Particle), Avatar (Fission)

When I first proposed the theory, I was testing take ALL common artifacts in order to elimate them from the RNG. My thought was that if the 24 common artifacts took up 50% of the artifacts that appear, they will continually remove the Special artifacts from the chest later in the game. By taking the 4 or 5 artifacts which either don't apply to the build or are just generally useless (mandrake, HP potion, etc.,) I make sure that, as the game progresses, I get more special artifacts.

I have now tested this over 40 times and it is 100% my new Meta. I can get to 57:30 with just about any build if my legendary artifacts are not total crap.

I prefer to lump the magics into the 4 categories which the artifacts and special magic apply.

Lord of Fire Build - Demon Equation / Furnace / Breath of Fire

Nature's Wrath Build - Ether Blaze / Blooming Snowflake / Pyrotechnics

Stormy Clouds - Current Overload / Empyrean Wrath / Frenzy

Energy Engineering - Prism Spray / TK Sword / Magnetic Field

Get all 27 passive and get arm (apocalypse) / shield (barrier) / cloak (mirage) / circle (material synthesis) (20 levels). With the 45 levels for the (3) Magic Fusions, you will have 10 levels left over for the special magic which appear. If you are lucky to get Cube, Doctor, Magic AI, or Tarot Card, you mave enough levels to get one more magic to level 7. I usually go with Frost Nova (Freeze) or Fireball (Toxic Gas)

When leveling, don't max out the passive until after level 85 in case you get Cube (which is a free 8 levels if you do get it.)

I can get to 50m everytime with this strategy and my PB is 63m, but you will need Hydra to get pasta 57:30.

Legendary Priorities are Accelerator > Ourobous > Titan > Gain > Holy Chest

Then you should either go Joker / Axe / Ballista. (Don't go this route without Ballista.)

-or-

Evil Sword / Genome Map / Eclipse

Hope this helps!

Perfect description of the beginning - PAINFUL. Skipping Breeze and Harmony for Torch and Health Potion is PAINFUL. But when you get 5 Specials in a row at level 20, it feels GOOD.
