Hell Clock offers numerous skill combinations, but only a few builds excel in advanced levels and tough boss battles. Whether you favor fiery projectiles, summoning allies, or controlling groups with elements, the best setups all emphasize relic synergy, smart blessing choices, and passive damage scaling.
Some builds consistently stand out due to their dependable damage and defense. Many rely on strong core skills enhanced by Unique Relics and Blessed Gear, such as Death Notary and Molten Relic. These combinations help players clear elite floors faster, stack Blessings more efficiently, and survive longer against bosses.
Flaming Plague Repeater Build
This setup turns Repeater shots into fire damage and layers plague effects for wide-area hits. The Molten relic makes Repeater strikes into fire attacks and adds grenade explosions on hit. Last Prayer causes Repeater kills to trigger plague explosions, dealing damage over time and quickly clearing groups and bosses.
Focus on upgrades that increase fire and plague damage, projectile count, and critical hit chance. Sustain yourself through life steal, Conviction buffs, or regeneration relics. Use burst fire to coat enemies in flames before finishing them with skills like Lasso or Tempest, particularly when supporting skills are active. During fights, kite bosses and unload full clips to build plague clouds beneath them—early priority should go to increasing projectiles and elemental conversions.
Lightning Double Knives Build
This build uses the Tempest relic, which converts Double Knives’ damage into lightning and scales with your movement speed. Each critical hit triggers an electric wave. Scout’s Medal allows full-speed movement while spinning, and Lasso pulls groups together and stuns them temporarily.
Enhance lightning damage and movement speed with relics like Banner of Faith, which also grants lifesteal for sustain. Reroll shop options to find relics like Tempest and Bundle of Syringes. This build excels at clearing waves quickly and fighting bosses with high damage output and recovery, especially when combining mobility with scaled lightning attacks.
Holy Summoner Build
Centered around the Holy Rosary skill, this build generates orbiting beads that deal lightning damage nearby, paired with summoning Catholic Guard Spirits for combat support. Equipping relics like Bell of Piety boosts the number and effectiveness of these summons, while others increase attack speed and summon duration.
Prioritize upgrades that improve summon effectiveness, cooldown reduction, and survivability from relics like Echo of Faith or Haloed Relic. Stay at a distance and let your spirits clear mobs while your beads deal damage. Focus on stacking movement speed and evasion for better survival and damage output.
Matadeira Repeater Build
Matadeira serves as your primary damage source, unleashing delayed blasts on marked zones. Repeater adds consistent ranged pressure. Increasing Matadeira’s area of effect and charges with blessings allows you to control crowds and handle bosses effectively. Relics like Molten Relic, Powder Bag, and Hellfire Relics amplify elemental and fire damage.
Use Closed Body for emergency invulnerability and Prayer of Vengeance for lifesteal mechanics linked to your conviction. Gear with attack speed, fire, elemental damage, and evasion boosts your burst potential and dodging. Open combat with Matadeira to control enemies and finish with Repeater shots, triggering burn effects and critical chains.
Veil Of Quills Explosion Build
This build relies on Veil of Quills and elemental synergies. Relics like Feathered Dagger cause quills to pierce enemies and apply Vulture stacks that explode in plague damage. Multiple overlapping detonations make it ideal for clearing mobs fast.
Spam Veil of Quills while maintaining mobility, using Passage for repositioning. Judgment offers burst damage and area coverage after plague stacks. Support skills like Closed Body turn Conviction into a burst defense, helping you chain damage through explosions.
Holy Reflexes Build
Reflexes summons a ring of spectral knives that lash out at enemies nearby, dealing physical projectiles periodically. It offers consistent close-range pressure even during movement, perfect for fighting groups. Scaling with critical chance and projectile buffs, relics like Relic of Precision and Silver Bullets increase damage and number of knives.
Pair with defenses like Closed Body to turn hits into explosions, and use Passage or Shadow Dash to reposition quickly. Keep your knives orbiting as you weave through enemies, maximizing damage while maintaining mobility. Reroll relics to improve projectile count and crit synergy.
Old Bell Plague Build
Old Bell triggers AoE explosions on cooldown rather than through direct attacks. This passive approach benefits from high cooldown reduction and skills like Reflexes and Bombardment that do damage around you. Focus on reducing skill cooldowns and increasing plague damage.
Keep your distance, creating zones that detonate passively and kite mobs through them. Aim for relics like Unshakable Faith and Ashes of Mourning, boosting elemental damage and cooldown efficiency. Best suited for long fights where damage accumulates over time, with defensive tools like Closed Body helping you survive.
Split Shot Minion Build
This setup transforms Split Shot into a single high-damage projectile that scales with additional projectiles. The Blunderbuss relic boosts damage significantly per extra shot, while minions mimic this attack with relics like Stolen Weapons. Spearhead improves clear speed, and Lasso or Bundle of Ropes control enemies and bosses.
Level up Split Shot, Summon Brute, Summon Guard, and Prayer skills, stacking projectile and summon damage. Keep minions active, stay at engagement range, and leverage relics for damage boosts. Excels in challenging levels with strong scaling and sustainable damage through regeneration and prayer effects.
Veil Of Quills Explosion Build
Centered on Veil of Quills and elemental damage, this build uses relics like Feathered Dagger to pierce enemies and apply Vulture stacks. When enough stacks accumulate, they explode with plague damage, creating chain reactions ideal for mob clearing. Using Passage for repositioning and Judgement for burst damage enhances effectiveness.
Holy Reflexes Carry
This setup revolves around Reflexes’ orbiting knives, combining critical chance, projectile scaling, and mobility to dominate groups. Use relics to enhance the number and damage of knives, and pair with defensive tools to stay alive while weaving in and out of enemies.
Old Bell Plague
