Buddy Rush: Ivardark's Set (1.6.2)

After 54 tries, around two months of trying, I have finally completed Ivardark's Set!

Got all his loot!

Each of the items of Ivardark's Set can be looted from the reward chest after beating Ivardark.

Ivardark's Grape Jam

Ivardark's Chainsaw

Ivardark's Apron

Ivardark's Mask

When all four set items are equipped on the same character, there is a Set Effect. The complete set gives the following:

Att+252
Def+52
HP+288
HP Regen+3.5%
MP+80
MP Regen+0%
Critical+5%
Evade+0%
Stun+4%
Hit Speed+8%
Skill Pow+88.5%
Skill CoolTime-5.6sec

Ivardark's Set has decent overall stats. The set's strong point is its Hit Speed and Skill CoolTime. These, backed by good Att and Skill Pow allows lots of damage to be dealt quickly. However, without high MP or any MP Regen, it is not possible to spam skills for long.

In addition, the set has good HP, HP Regen and Def to keep the character alive.

I decided to equip Ivardark's Set on Boorseye:

Rapid-shooting, skill-spamming Boorseye.

I added the Chinese Ghost Hat mainly for the MP Regen. However, the Skill Pow and the Hit Speed bonuses are helpful too. I added the Cotton Candy to add a bunch of little bonuses, especially Stun. The added Hit Speed, Critical and Skill CoolTime are welcome too.

The result is a rapid-firing, skill-spamming Boorseye. Many arrows will fly! This gives plenty of chances for Stun and Boorseye's 'One Shot One Kill' to activate. Even against bosses, 'One Shot One Kill' will deal additional damage, so it is a plus.

The high HP Regen is not intentional. It is just an extra side bonus of this setup.

Update 4 August 2012:
I have completed a second Ivardark set and equipped it on Botherella. Note that the details in the screenshot are from the third mini-wave (1.6.3).

Sweet blessings to all, with a fruity flavor!

I added Golden Glass (red) and Tooth of Genzir the Storm (purple!) for more Skill CoolTime and MP Regen bonuses so Botherella can spam Curse more often. The extra bonuses from these two items are welcome additions to boost Botherella's offense and a little to defense.
