In order to be able to play as Rottin’ Ghoul, you’ll first need to unlock them. You will need to defeat 6000 Rotting Ghouls in the Abyss Foscari in order to be able to purchase Rottin’ Ghoul. They cost a measly 500 coins, however this cost does scale with other characters purchased, so keep that in mind. After unlocking, this character has the Party Popper starting weapon, and some crazy base stats and passive bonuses to go along with it.

Even though Rottin’ Ghouls only base stat is +20% Move Speed, passive bonuses is where this character really shines. This character gains +1 Amount to projectiles every 20 levels until level 80, with the maximum amount you can get from the bonus at +4. Combining this with items such as a level 2 Duplicator, a level 6 Academy Badge, and Power Up will allow you to have the most projectile amount out of any level 80 character in the game at +10. For weapons, you’ll want to grab some high damage projectiles such as Bone, Cross, Magic Wand, Fire Wand, and Axe. Making sure you have at least 4-5 projectile based weapons will ensure an easy level clear. As enemies won’t be able to get near you thanks to the sheer amount of damage flying around the screen.
