Community builds that use it

BuilderThe Builder's Turret copies your best ranged weapon, so upgrade Slingshot (or Revolver/SMG) and leave materials uncollected until the turret is maxed around wave 12; buy Engineering items rather than damage.
DemonItems cost Max HP, so early shopping at very low HP is normal; Ghost Scepter (which grants HP on kills) and Thief Dagger are the late-game picks, and Lightning Shiv the beginner-friendly one. Sharp Bullet helps Ghost Scepter clear.
DoctorStay on Medical weapons, the only ones that keep the attack-speed bonus: Scissors upgrading to Circular Saw with Melee Damage, or Medical Gun with Sharp Bullet, Bandana or Ricochet for area clear. Healing is built in, so items that cost HP become affordable.
GhostBuild around the Ethereal set: Ghost Flint plus Ghost Axe for melee damage and Attack Speed, or six Ghost Scepters for a large Max HP pool that needs piercing and Attack Speed. Armor is not worth buying.
LoudThe extra enemies supply materials, so skip Harvesting and pick weapons that handle crowds: Spear, Jousting Lance, Lightning Shiv and Thief Dagger for melee, Double Barrel Shotgun, Shredder, SMG or Slingshot for ranged. Take items that add more enemies.
RangerGun build that stacks Ranged Damage (boosted 50%), % Damage and Attack Speed; SMG is the usual pick, with Double Barrel Shotgun, Revolver and Minigun also recommended. A Crossbow variant instead stacks Range and Crit Chance and skips Ranged Damage.
RomanticCharm triggers below 25% enemy HP and scales with Max HP, so build Max HP alongside an ordinary ranged setup; SMG with early Ranged Damage and Sharp Bullet is the easiest, Slingshot or Spoon the alternatives. Dodge is needed.
SickUse fast or multi-hit weapons so Life Steal outpaces the 1 HP-per-second drain: SMG, Slingshot or Lightning Shiv, with Bandana and other piercing items. Never buy Weird Ghost.
VeteranMachine Guns are recommended; the low-HP mechanic is hard to exploit when Luck brings many fruit, so the guide plays it like Well Rounded.
