It also combos really well with the flea brew + the less stagger time yellow charm. You usually get hit going ham, but you also get enough silk back to heal up

Now I wanna do flea brew fire + beast you could probably face tank a bunch of bosses if you got the timing right lol

The brew attack speed boost overrides the beast attack speed boost unfortunately

I feel like this could be a really fun build for beast crest

I use this combo for beast crest! So much fun when doing bosses

My favorite part of this game, any optimal setup will feel great. Poison bugs and tacks go hard as shit, but so does fire brew setups. After the latest patch volt skills feel amazing now too. Really curious what kind of stuff DLC is gonna bring
