Ability & Special Effects
ABILITY — HACKER: Exploit Every 4 seconds, each Hacker Dude gains an Exploit. When a Dude Attacks , his Exploits are consumed to deal 100% of his DPS each, combined into one Direct Damage strike.
How to Use Hacker Dude
Hacker Dude is the official guide's poster child for Crit builds — stack Hacker Dudes and Crit Chance and every attack detonates a stockpile of Exploits for a billion-Exploits-per-second fantasy. Each Hacker generates an Exploit every 4 seconds, so Crit Chance and Attack Speed are both non-negotiable. He is squishy (120 HP): keep him behind a tank and give him a defensive Trinket if the meta gets hostile. Multiple Hackers multiply the Exploit economy — two is the sweet spot.
Best Builds & Synergies
Stack as many Hacker Dudes as possible and feed them Crit Chance — the dev guide's advice is unambiguous. Every Hacker generates an Exploit every 4 seconds, Dudes consume Exploits on attack for bonus damage, and Crits keep the loop spinning; the devs describe the ceiling as 'compiling a billion Exploits per second.' Run three or more Hackers with Crit relics and watch the damage log melt. Check our Tier List for the full context and the Best Builds page for more team comps.
