• 💡 Bring a Seed dibber unless you finished the barehanded planting part of Barbarian Training.
• 💡 Thralls and Death Charge on the buds add damage and extra specs. Immune to the Ring of recoil. Burn does nothing while buds are up.
• 💡 Blisterwood stakes are free long-range darts. Weak to fire: magic with a Smoke battlestaff also works.
