A small correction, the weapon with the highest defense stat is the Dwarf Dagger, with a whopping +6 def. In fact, the Infinity Gravel only has a +1 def. So the highest defense stat would be 6 from the dagger, plus 3 from forging, plus 10 from rings, plus 7 from the boots, plus 5 from the rock candy, for a total of +31.
I used the dwarven sword as it still has a high defense stat but is more versatile. I also use an infinity gavel with +dmg and artful at the same time. So basically you can oneshot everything but also won't need to worry about dying. Defense build is pretty lackluster overall so it's best to not make the max defense a goal. If you want to cover everything just use 2 Crabshell Rings + 1 Immunity Band and 1 Iridium Band, then Mermaid Boots, and have Lucky/Burglar/HotJava rings ready for when you need them. Upgrade the Dwarven Sword with 3 Topaz, upgrade an Infinity Gavel with 3 Rubies, have a Slingshot with explosive ammo and have Expresso + Spicy Eel/Crab Cakes for extra buffs. This shouldn't have any drawbacks aside from having to carry extra stuff in the inventory. Also no need to rely on Yoba luck or Protection Rings.
@@altabalder Can confirm, I also use mermaid boots and immunity band so I don't have to worry about debuffs as they cause more problems than taking raw damage. The loss of HP can just be mitigated by eating food rather than loading up on defence. Like you said, infinity gavel +dmg with artful is the way to go. Most the time enemies gonna be knocked back and barely touch you and nothing to slow you down because no debuffs. I feel like this build is probably the strongest in the game.
"Players that often find themselves running straight into enemies and dying a tragic death" Yep, that pretty much describes me and my awful timing 🤣 Thanks for your videos. They've been helping me out a lot so you've gained a subscriber lol
my favorite build imo is infinity blade iridium band + lucky ring combined and napalm ring + savage ring combined and vampiric enchant it feels like i can never die because its juust too good
@@aethanfriday3568 Just got the noti lol i never heard of the slime charmer so maybe its a new item? i'll check up in stardew to see what is my new fav build if probably
Nice vids. Though in the dagger build you should go for iridium needle instead since it has the highest critical strike chance of any weapon. I remember that ConcernedApe himself told this type of build.
Crit build scales better whit luck bc critics its still rng so even whit 90% crit chance you can do 1 critic / 4 hits so the luck always make easier the game so always combine any ring whit lucky ring for skull cavern always use iridium x luck x 2 and for volcano x2 luck x burglar and i get almost everytime x2 cinder fragments
Exactly what is the difference between the Galaxy dagger and the iridium neddle?. It was easier for me to find the needle than to collect the materials for the dagger.
Both are good, it comes down to personal preference. From my experience, the infinity dagger is more reliable but the iridium needle can crit for bigger numbers
I plan to do an entire perfection series by uploading a video every single day until its complete! I hate the idea of quitting a series mid way, so I want to make sure I finish it before I even upload it
I’m new to this forging thing. I’ve seen that people use prismatic shards for the hammer build but I’ve used rubies 3 times. So can I still forge it with a prismatic shards after? Cos I thought you can only upgrade your weapons 3 times max
So i wanna try the Ol' Reliable build but i only have the mountain and beach obelisks and ive been saving gold (i have almost 1 mil). I have more than enough materials but should i go for another obelisk or keep saving money for the return scepter?
Could you combine the slime tamer ring with + the defense ring for 1 of your rings in the defense build? Considering how often you run into slimes in the mines, it might make you more tanky overall since you'd just take 0 damage from slimes
I don't think you have to be that low. Normally you find tons of them on prehistoric floors (which are always considered infested) but they appear occasionally throughout the floors as well. They're called Pepper Rex & do damage through their flaming breath. A pretty reliable way to get dino eggs.

True, but I want to still be able to defeat enemies. So I go with a weapon that can still do damage
@@mGaud2 what if you pair it with bombs making it the kamikaze class

I’m going to try this out.
This ring combination is hands down the best!!!
Why not the slime charmer?

The iridium needle is good, but I find the Infinity Dagger to be more reliable for when you don't hit crits

Crit build works surprisingly well with swords.
mGaud I love your videos not only are you an amazing stardew valley player but you also live in South Africa like me
I like to add explosive ring to obliterator, to top everything with ton of explosions killing even more enemies
For some reason the obliterator build really does not work for me it's pretty slow
@@skyhanz1876 add one emerald and two rubies with artful enchantment and scout then acrobatics profession
I use Iridium Band + Crabshell Ring and Slime Charmer Ring + Naplam Ring. It’s not a bad combo and it shows how much I hate the slimes lol.
Wow finally a comprehensive video of rings, enchantments, and weapons!! I can always rely on your videos. ❤
Next goal 10k subs
Congrats on reaching 1k subs
when will you Stardew valley let's play series
I will do a stardew valley lets play series, but only much later.
maybe in March
I plan to do an entire perfection series by uploading a video every single day until its complete!
I hate the idea of quitting a series mid way, so I want to make sure I finish it before I even upload it
Ok thanks for the video
Nice video, keep going 👍

Prismatic shards count as enchanting weapon, not forging, so yes you can
@@deana4457 thank you. I learnt a few days ago that forging and enchanting were completely different things lol
my all time fav is iridium needle (with full crits adds on)
So i wanna try the Ol' Reliable build but i only have the mountain and beach obelisks and ive been saving gold (i have almost 1 mil). I have more than enough materials but should i go for another obelisk or keep saving money for the return scepter?
How do you enhance weapons with rubys? I see no options to do that.
forge
Could you combine the slime tamer ring with + the defense ring for 1 of your rings in the defense build?
Considering how often you run into slimes in the mines, it might make you more tanky overall since you'd just take 0 damage from slimes
Best combat build go for the combat profession that gives ya health and use the dwarves dagger
Which rings stack? It seems like the luck one does but the burglar doesn't.
Does the hammer exploit work in mobile?
Why not??
I like to use mix of obliterator and loot goblin
Anyone know how to perform special move of hammer using Xbox controller?
Can you use any ring if you dont have irirdium band
Actually you should be useing the iridium needle (crit chance +6 crit power +200) for a crit dagger build not the infinity dagger (crit chance +4)
best tank = lvl 5 fairy trinket. broken :D
Yo how can i increase my health iridium milk doesnt work
you south african?
hi
i never see big green dragon, is that mod?
You won’t see these until you get way down in the Skull Caverns. I think after level 100? Don’t quote me on that though.
