This build revolves specifically around the Nightmare’s Bite sickles and Spider Armor. Working in conjunction, the Nightmare’s Bite spawns a large poison cloud on every strike, damaging enemies in an area of effect. The Spider Armor applies a 3 percent life steal aura on your character too, ensuring that you don’t die while in the melee. Your playstyle with this build will depend heavily on what enchants you’re able to get onto this gear, which we’ll cover in the next section.
As for ranged weapons, since this build is all about melee, ideally you’ll be looking for a bow or crossbow that either feed the fantasy or the build, or come with specifically useful enchants, such as Tempo Theft, to help you increase your speed.
All items can be found from the Blacksmith if you’re lucky, but you can narrow it down by usingMinecraft Dungeon’s loot tables. The Nightmare’s Bite can drop in Pumpkin Pastures, Arch Haven, or the Desert Temple. The Spider Armor can drop anywhere Thief Armor drops, including the Desert Temple, and Redstone Mines.
Ideal enchants
Grabbing the right enchants on your items can be a ratherrandomaffair, oftentimes it makes sense to just go with the best enchants you get and adapt as necessary. However, if you’re able to grab any of these, it can seriously boost your build.
Ideal artifacts
Depending on your survivability and playstyle, some of these can probably be swapped out and intermixed, but these are all oriented around surviving going toe-to-toe with large amounts of mobs, or taking hits from some of the heavier, more dangerous mini-bosses like the Redstone Monstrosity.
