What are Tactics?

BBEE's 7 Elements

BBEE's 5 Tactic Slots

Tactics are classified in two different ways. Every Tactic belongs to a specific element (Fire, Ice, Electric, Toxin, Umbra, Light, and Blade.) Elements are important to keep track of, because room selections will give you an element to choose from when Tactic choices appear.  

Tactics also fall into an activation classification. (Attack, Skill, Dash, Legacy, and Summon). It is important to keep track of Activation classifications for Tactics, because there are rules to the Tactics that you can obtain in a run.

Rule 1: You may only have one Tactic of each Activation type. For example, if you have Attack Lightwave, you cannot also have Attack Chain Lightning.

Rule 2: This also applies to Tactics of the same name, even if they have different activation slots. For example, you cannot have both Attack Chain Lightning and Skill Chain Lightning at the same time. For reference, you can always check the Tactics Codex. If a Tactic has multiple Tier 1 (First Row) options, that means you can only have one of them. Rule 3: If you only have the Tier 1 Tactic in one of the five Activation slots, you might get the chance to swap it for another when choosing a new Tactic. Once you've obtained a Tier 2 Tactic, you will no longer get the chance to switch out your Tier 1 Tactic. Tactics will then appear in four different rarities, Common -> Uncommon -> Rare -> Legendary, with each rarity being an upgraded version that increases the utility of what the Tactic does, such as increasing the damage or duration. These Tactics can be upgraded to the next rarity via a Tactic Ascension found in various places.

Additionally, Tactics have three stages going from Tier 1, Tier 2, and then the Tier 3 upgrade. The Tier 2 upgrades are always a choice between different upgrades to make it unique and the Tier 3 upgrade only has one option. Once you have three Tactics in one Tactic Slot, the only way to continue to upgrade that slot is with Tactic Ascensions and Double Tactics.

Double Tactics are a combination of two Tactics from different Tactic Trees and/or Elements. These Tactics combine the attributes of the two Tactics to make a powerful one that goes in the fourth slot in your Tactic slots. These Tactics require you to plan ahead by viewing the Tactics Codex and looking at the Tactic Tree to see what Doubles are possible with that Tactic. In order to obtain a Double, you'll need to obtain the three Tactics from the main Tactic and the Tier 1 tactic from the other required Tactic. Only then will the Double appear as an option in the respective element.

Inheriting Tactics

When passing down Tactics via a saved Evotype, any Tier 1 Tactic will be automatically equipped when you start a new run. Tier 2, Tier 3, and Double Tactics will not be equipped until you obtain the necessary Tier 1 Tactics. Double Tactics, when being passed down, have the unique property of often only needing the base Tactic associated with it, allowing you to get a Double that only requires one Tactic Slot be filled and creating a new combination in the now open slot.

Once you've filled in the first five Tier 1 slots, you'll only see Tactics of those Tactics' respective element, allowing you to only focus on upgrades at that point. Inheriting certain elements allows you to manipulate how likely you are to see a certain element without sacrificing any Mind Crystal slots. When attempting to get the "1+1>2" achievement, this significantly helps steer your five Doubles in the right direction.

Fire

Name	Description	Slot	Tier	Note
Skill Burn	When your Skill lands a hit, inflicts Burn on the enemy for 5 seconds, dealing 190/230/270/310 damage per second.	Skill	T1
Attack Burn	When your Attack lands a hit, inflicts Burn on the enemy for 5 seconds, dealing 100/120/130/150 damage per second.	Attack	T1
Dash Burn	Dashing inflicts Burn on nearby enemies for 5 seconds, dealing 100/120/130/150 damage per second.	Dash	T1
Durable Burn	Burn now lasts 3 seconds longer and the Burning damage is increased by 38/45/53/60%.	Skill, Attack, Dash	T2
Conflagration	For every enemy inflicted by Burn, the next Burn inflicted deals 18/22/26/30% more damage.	Skill, Attack, Dash	T2
Catching Fire	Burning enemies will spread the fire to nearby enemies while also increasing the Burn damage by 35/40/45/55%.	Skill, Attack, Dash	T2
Flamewalker	Dodging will temporarily generate a Trail of Fire as you move. That trail deals 150/180/210/240 damage per second.	Dash	T2	Only possible if you have Dash Burn.
Powerful Burn	Burn damage ticks happen 25/30/35/40% faster.	Skill, Attack, Dash	T3

Burn is a DoT (Damage over Time) tactic that specializes at chipping away at the enemy's health. Unfortunately, Burn's damage across the board is essentially negligible. A common trend amongst the Fire Tactics is that their utility and damage tends to be outclassed by other elemental tactics.

Name	Description	Slot	Tier	Note
Skill Fire Projectile	Upon using a Skill, shoots 10 Fire Projectiles outward, each dealing 170/210/240/280 damage. This damage decreases against the same enemy with each projectile that hits them.	Skill	T1
Legacy Fire Projectile	Upon using your Legacy, shoots 10 Fire Projectiles outward, each dealing 120/150/170/200 damage. This damage decreases against the same enemy with each projectile that hits them.	Legacy	T1
Focused Fire Projectile	The Fire Projectiles are now fired in a 45-degree sector, and deals 5/6/7/8% more damage.	Skill, Legacy	T2
Fire Projectile Bounce	Fire Projectiles can bounce and deal 19/23/26/30% more damage.	Skill, Legacy	T2
Fire Projectile Upgrade	The Fire Projectiles become larger and deal 38/45/53/60% more damage.	Skill, Legacy	T2
Multi Fire Projectiles	The number of max Fire Projectiles is increased by 4, and deals 13/15/18/20% more damage.	Skill, Legacy	T3

Fire Projectiles is a tactic that, when used, shoots 10 projectiles outward in a circle formation. Unfortunately, most of the time, enemies will be in front or behind you, meaning most of the projectiles will completely miss. This means that if you wish to capitalize on each of the projectiles, you either need to be right next to a large enemy or use the Tier 2 Tactic, Focused Fire Projectile, which focuses the projectiles into a 45 degree cone in the way you're facing.

Name	Description	Slot	Tier	Note
Legacy Ring of Fire	Upon using your Legacy, Spawns Rings of Fire, dealing 480/580/670/770 damage to enemies.	Legacy	T1
Large Ring of Fire	Rings of Fire become larger and deal 30/36/42/48% more damage.	Legacy	T2
Transformative Ring of Fire	Rings of Fire shapeshift and deal 38/45/53/60% more damage.	Legacy	T2
Struck Ring of Fire	Upon taking a hit, conjures a Ring of Fire that deals 670/810/940/1080 damage.	Legacy	T2
Double Rings of Fire	Ring of Fire is now upgraded to Double Rings of Fire. The second one deals 590/710/830/950 damage.	Legacy	T3

Ring of Fire works as a burst of damage around you when you use your Legacy Skill. While not bad in an enclosed space, utilizing this Tactic requires a form of crowd control to lock enemies in place for it to hit.

Name	Description	Slot	Tier	Note
Place Mine	Crouching will place 1 Mine. By default, each mine deals 360/430/500/570 damage. This damage increases over time.	Summon	T1	You can place multiple mines over time.
Mine Upgrade	Mines have a larger explosion and deal 30/36/42/48% more damage.	Summon	T2
Splashing Mines	Upon exploding, Mines send out 6 shrapnel, each dealing 290/350/400/460 damage.	Summon	T2
Efficient Mine Placing	The cooldown of Place Mine is reduced by 1/1.3/1.5/1.8 second(s).	Summon	T3

Mines are a very lackluster Summon Tactic that have minimal damage and an unfortunate method of summoning them. Unlike all other Summons, Mines must be placed manually by crouching, where they'll then stay until they expire or an enemy walks over them. Even with their unique property of getting stronger the longer it sits, the damage it gains does not justify the amount of time it takes to babysit it to that point.

Name	Description	Slot	Tier	Note
Fire Spirit Assist	Spawns a Fire Spirit that assists you in combat. Over time, more and more Fire Spirits will spawn. When your Attack hits an enemy, they will hunt that enemy, each dealing 120/140/170/190 damage.	Attack	T1
Fire Spirit Upgrade	Fire Spirits shapeshift and deal 38/45/53/60% more damage.	Attack	T2
Fire Spirit Combo	When a Fire Spirit hits the same enemy, the damage is increased by 11/13/15/17% with each hit.	Attack	T2
Quick Split	Fire Spirits now split 38/45/53/60% faster.	Attack	T2
Durable Split	Fire Spirits split 1 more time and deal 109/111/113/115% more damage.	Attack	T3

Fire Spirit Assist are most likely Fire's best Tactic. Acting like a Summon Tactic that fills your Attack slot, they spawn around your character over time. Because of the ability to focus their attention onto a specific enemy when you attack them, they have consistent damage against high HP enemies and bosses. All three T2 Tactics can be useful against bosses and common enemies.

Ice

Name	Description	Slot	Tier	Note
Cold Attack	Attacks deal 29/34/40/46% more damage and inflict 1 stack of Cold on enemies, causing them to slow down.	Attack	T1	Because of the damage boost given by the T1 Cold Tactics, taking into consideration what attacks your character uses more is important.
Skill Cold	Skills deal 30/35/41/47% more damage and inflict 2 stacks of Cold on enemies, causing them to slow down.	Skill	T1

After choosing your T1 tactic for Cold, you're forced between two T2 options that will lock you out the other T3 and Double Tactics.

Name	Description	Slot	Tier	Note
Frost Burst	At max stacks of Cold, they burst and deal 610/740/860/980 damage.	Attack, Skill	T2
Freezing Cold	When more than 5 enemies are inflicted with Cold, the enemies in range become Frozen. Breaking a Frozen enemy deals 1000/1200/1400/1600 damage.	Attack, Skill	T2
Frost Explosion	Frost Burst becomes 20% larger in range and deals 73/88/103/117% more damage.	Attack, Skill	T3	Requires Frost Burst as your T2 choice.
Powerful Icebreaker	When breaking a Frozen enemy, deals 800/1000/1200/1400 extra damage.	Attack, Skill	T3	Requires Freezing Cold as your T2 choice.

The Cold Tactics are most likely your best options as Attack and Skill Tactics. At Legendary rarity, they give an unconditional 46/47% damage buff to their respective slots. Additionally, they inflict the Cold status which slows enemies, giving you an edge over bosses with quick movement. All four T2 and T3 tactics present even more instances of the Cold status and damage, even being able to Freeze hordes of enemies. Finally, essentially every Double Tactic that it's a part of is extremely good.

Name	Description	Slot	Tier	Note
Icicle Dash	Dashing summons Icicles, dealing 90/110/130/150 damage and inflicting 1 stack of Cold on enemies, causing them to slow down.	Dash	T1
Legacy Icicle	Upon using your Legacy, generates Two-Way Icicles on the ground that deal 270/330/380/440 damage to enemies and inflict 2 stacks of Cold.	Legacy	T1
Icicle Upgrade	The Icicles shapeshift and deal 38/45/53/60% more damage.	Dash, Legacy	T2
Dodging Icicle	Upon dodging, the Icicles generated become Two-Way Icicles, dealing 110/130/150/180 damage to enemies.	Dash, Legacy	T2
Reactive Icicle	Upon taking a hit, summons Icicles at where the hit comes from, dealing 670/800/940/1080 damage.	Dash, Legacy	T2
Random Icicle	Icicles spawn at random to attack enemies, each dealing 170/200/240/270 damage.	Dash, Legacy	T3

While Icicle is not nearly as powerful the Cold line, it still manages to be useful for its synergy with other Ice Tactics and standalone with its ability to apply the Cold status. Having Icicle Dash is a "fits all scenarios" tactic that doesn't need to compete with other Dash tactics. Legacy Icicle however has very strong competition, and is not necessarily worth using over Dash Icicle.

Name	Description	Slot	Tier	Note
Summon Ice Spike	Automatically generates Ice Spikes, each dealing 140/170/190/220 damage and inflicting 1 stack of Cold on enemies, causing them to slow down.	Summon	T1
Ice Spike Upgrade	The Ice Spikes become larger and deal 40/45/55/60% more damage.	Summon	T2
Precision Ice Spike	Ice Spikes prioritize attacking non-Cold enemies and deal 34/41/48/55% more damage.	Summon	T2
Freezing Blade	Ice Spikes can penetrate enemies and deal 30/35/40/45% more damage.	Summon	T2
Multi Ice Spikes	Upon generating Ice Spikes, you can generate 2/3/4/5 more.	Summon	T3

Ice Spike as a standalone Tactic deals consistent damage and applies the Cold status to slow enemies. It has little competition with other Summon Tactics and has amazing Double Tactics that increase the sheer amount of damage and Cold status it dishes out.

Electric

Name	Description	Slot	Tier	Note
Skill Lightning	When your Skill hits an enemy, inflicts Lightning on them. When that enemy is eliminated, unleashes an Impulse, dealing 670/810/940/1080 damage.	Skill	T1
Legacy Lightning	When your Legacy hits an enemy, inflicts Lightning on them. When that enemy is eliminated, unleashes an Impulse, dealing 470/580/660/780 damage.	Legacy	T1
Impulse Upgrade	Impulse shapeshifts and deals 37.5/45/52.5/60% more damage.	Skill, Legacy	T2
Large Pulse	Impulse becomes larger in range and deal 30/36/42/48% more damage.	Skill, Legacy	T2
Impulse Paralysis	The Impulses can paralyze enemies for 1.5/2/2.5/3 seconds, rendering them immobile.	Skill, Legacy	T2
Pulsing Lightning	When your Impulse hits an enemy, inflicts Lightning on them for 6 seconds. When that enemy is eliminated, unleashes an Impulse, dealing 630/760/880/1010 damage.	Skill, Legacy	T3

The Lightning Mark tree has good utility and excellent damage against hordes of enemies, yet struggles to be useful against Elites as it doesn't get to utilize the Lightning status. The Lightning status causes inflicted enemies to emit an AoE (Area of Effect) damage called an Impulse, eventually being able to inflict Lightning on other enemies with the T3 Tactic. Because of said T3 Tactic, the Impulse can rapidly chew through many enemies. Characters with huge Skills can capitalize on Skill Lighting's screen clearing effect very nicely, but Legacy Lightning fails to compete with the other Legacy tactics.

Name	Description	Slot	Tier	Note
Attack Lighting	When you have landed 5 hits with your Attack, conjures a Lightning Chain, dealing 320/380/450/510 damage with each link.	Attack	T1
Thunderstorm	Using your Legacy conjures a Lightning Cloud that keeps shooting Lightning Chains. Each link deals 100/120/130/150 damage, up to 5 links.	Legacy	T1
Skill Lightning	When you land a hit with your Skills, conjures a Lightning Chain to nearby enemies, dealing 670/810/940/1080 damage with each link.	Skill	T1
Lightning Overloaded	The last link of a Lightning Chain additionally deals 180/220/250/290 damage.	Attack, Dash, Skill	T2
Lightning Upgrade	The Lightning Chain becomes thicker and now deals 37.5/45/52.5/60% more damage.	Attack, Dash, Skill	T2
Thunder Bounce	The Lightning Chain can bounce. The damage is reduced by 65/58/51/45% after 3 bounces.	Attack, Dash, Skill	T2
Extended Lightning	The Lightning Chain can chain up to 1/2/3/4 times.	Attack, Dash, Skill	T3

In the same department as the Lightning Mark tree, Lightning Chain specializes in clearing hordes of enemies while struggling to deal with Elites. It pairs very nicely Lightning Mark to clear hordes of enemies even faster, but the lack of multiple enemies against Elites means the damage drops off significantly. Not a bad option for your Attack and Skill slots, but Legacy Thunderstorm struggles to compete with other Legacy Tactics.

Name	Description	Slot	Tier	Note
Dash Thunderbolt	Dashing summons Thunderbolts, dealing 380/460/540/610 damage.	Dash	T1
Counter Thunderbolt	Upon taking a hit, summons a Thunderbolt at where the hit comes from, dealing 670/810/940/1080 damage.	Dash	T2
Dodge Thunderbolt	Upon dodging, summons multiple Thunderbolts, each dealing 190/230/270/310 damage.	Dash	T2
Thunderbolt Upgrade	The Thunderbolts become larger and deal 37.5/45/52.5/60% more damage.	Dash	T2
Thunderbolt Paralysis	The Thunderbolts can paralyze enemies by 1/1.5/2/2.5 seconds, rendering them immobile.	Dash	T2	*Test this on Elites
Double Thunderbolts	When a Thunderbolt strikes, there is a chance for 1 more Thunderbolt to strike, dealing 680/810/950/1080 damage.	Dash	T3

Thunderbolt forgoes with being locked to crowds of enemies and instead just hits everything consistently. Being locked to just your Dash slot and being connected to a great amount of powerful Double Tactics, Dash Thunderbolt is one of the best options to fill the Dash slot as an all rounder Tactic. With most of the T2 slots being straight damage upgrades or giving you access to the Paralysis status to immobilize enemies, this Tactic only gets strong as you get its upgrades.

Name	Description	Slot	Tier	Note
Orbiting Lightning Orb	When enemies are nearby, generate 3 Lightning Orbs that orbit around you for 10 seconds. The Lightning Orbs deal 140/170/200/230 damage to enemies upon impact.	Summon	T1
Large Lightning Orb	Lightning Orbs become bigger in size and deal 37.5/45/52.5/60% more damage.	Summon	T2
Durable Lightning Orbs	The Lightning Orbs orbit around you for 30/40/50/60% longer.	Summon	T2
Expanded Lightning Orb	The Lightning Orbs periodically orbit in a larger range, dealing 37.5/45/52.5/60% more damage.	Summon	T2
Clustered Lightning Orbs	Upon generating Lightning Orbs, you generate 1 more and deal 35/40/50/55% more damage.	Summon	T3

Lightning Orb is another is a good contender for your Summon slot as it is just consistent damage that follows you, similar to Hibiki's Oblivion Glaive upgrade. While it lacks any special statuses, it has to the Double Tactic Shadow Lightning Orb, which lets you dish out a considerable amount of damage.

Toxin

Name	Description	Slot	Tier	Note
Attack Miasma	Upon eliminating an enemy, Attacks inflict Poison on enemies in range, which can kill them after a while depending on their current HP. The higher the quality, the shorter the killing time.	Attack	T1	The rate at which rarity changes the "killing time" is currently unknown.
Skill Poison Ring	When your Skill lands a hit, spawns a Poison Ring, inflicting Poison on enemies, which can kill them after a while depending on their current HP. The higher the quality, the shorter the killing time.	Skill	T1	The rate at which rarity changes the "killing time" is currently unknown.
Reactive Miasma	Upon taking a hit, inflict Poison on the enemies in range.	Attack	T2	Only possible if you have Attack Miasma. Currently unknown as to what rarity changes.
Poison Contamination	The Poisoned enemy will be stunned for 1.5/2/2.5/3 seconds after 1 second.	Attack, Skill	T2	When you inflict poison on an enemy, there is a 1 second delay before the enemy is stunned.
Potent Poison	Poison's efficiency is increased by 38/45/53/60%.	Attack, Skill	T2	Efficiency refers to rate at which it will kill the enemy.
Spreading Toxin	When a Poisoned enemy is eliminated, inflict Poison on 2/3/4/5 enemies in range.	Attack, Skill	T2
Reactive Poison Ring	Upon taking a hit, spawns a Poison Ring that surrounds you, inflicting Poison on enemies.	Skill	T2	Only possible if you have Skill Poison Ring. Currently unknown as to what rarity changes.
Acute Poison	Poison takes 2/3/4/5 less seconds to take effect.	Attack, Skill	T3

Poison is a Tactic that appears good on paper until you take the time to break it down in practice. Poison is a status effect that, upon inflicting it on an enemy, starts a timer before dealing a chunk of damage to the afflicted enemy. The main issues to discuss here are the timer and the damage. When you inflict Poison on an enemy, a Toxin sigil appears over their head that gradually fills up. In most cases however, the time it would take for the damage to hit is more than enough time for all characters to kill the enemy themselves. Against Elites, its less likely that you'd kill the boss before triggering Poison, so what about its damage? Unfortunately, the damage is significantly weaker than the time warranted. Averaging 2500-5000 damage over the ~10 second period is very poor considering most characters can deal that damage several times over. Poison's only saving grace is its access to the Double Tactic Frost Miasma, that creates a fog around enemies that then Freezes them.

Name	Description	Slot	Tier	Note
Summon Slime	When enemies are nearby, summon Slimes that automatically attack enemies and deal 240/290/340/380 damage.	Summon	T1

After choosing your T1 tactic for Slime, you're forced between two T2 options that will lock you out the other T3 and Double Tactics.

Name	Description	Slot	Tier	Note
Self-Destructing Slime	When a Slime expires, it explodes, dealing 580/690/810/920 damage.	Summon	T2
Lasting Slime	Slimes now last 3/4/5/6 seconds longer.	Summon	T2
Large Slime	Slimes become larger in size and deal 38/45/53/60% more damage.	Summon	T3	Only possible if you have Self-Destructing Slime.
Fast Slime	Slimes attack 25/30/35/40% faster.	Summon	T3	Only possible if you have Lasting Slime. Both sides have their merits, so it doesn't matter which side path you take.

Summon Slime is another Summon Tactic that struggles to pull its weight against other Summon Tactics. Slimes will spawn as enemies appear, they'll then move across the ground and attack enemies. Their damage however is pretty minimal, even with the T2 and T3 upgrades. With no notable Double Tactics to abuse, Slime is hard to justify using.

Name	Description	Slot	Tier	Note
Dash Virulent Bomb	Upon Dashing, spawns Virulent Bombs at the starting location, dealing 240/290/340/390 damage.	Dash	T1
Intense Virulent Bomb	The explosion of a Virulent Bomb inflicts Poison on enemies. Attention: You need a prerequisite Toxin Tactic to activate this.	Dash	T2	This Tactic requires that you have Attack Miasma or Skill Poison Ring to activate the poison. Essentially a Double Tactic.
Dodge Virulent Bomb	Upon dodging, summons more Virulent Bombs, each dealing 290/350/400/460 damage.	Dash	T2
Condensed Virulent Bomb	Virulent Bombs explode after a delay but deal 65/80/95/110% more damage.	Dash	T2
Spreading Virulent Bomb	Virulent Bombs become larger in explosion range and deal 20/24/28/32% more damage.	Dash	T3

Name	Description	Slot	Tier	Note

Lasting Venom	Venom now lasts 20/40/60/80% longer.	Legacy, Skill	T2
Spreading Venom	Venom becomes 20% larger in range and deals 30/36/42/48% more damage.	Legacy, Skill	T2
Intense Venom	Venom inflicts Poison on enemies. Attention: You need a prerequisite Toxin Tactic to activate this.	Legacy, Skill	T2	This Tactic requires that you have Attack Miasma or Skill Poison Ring to activate the poison. Essentially a Double Tactic.

Name	Description	Slot	Tier	Note
Legacy Blackhole	Upon using your Legacy, spawns a Blackhole, pulling enemies and dealing 130/150/180/200 damage per second.	Legacy	T1	The unique ability to have on demand crowd control is extremely valuable as you get to position enemies anywhere twice, including most bosses.
