Mine's pretty close to yours, actually! Scarlet (fire projectile every three shots) + shotgun + a bunch of fire buffs (including the fire AOE you get when upgrading the Haste skill).

Shotguns and fire are the two powers I love wielding most in video games.

I also like to sometimes keep it simple. Shana + revolver + a crapload of additional projectiles.

I tend to use Hina most of the time, I like that dodge. But other than that, my builds tend toward all of the extra projectiles no matter which weapon I'm using. Hina + Crossbow is probably my favorite, with the extra rounds one and all the spread/scatter shots, and of course Reaper Rounds.

I've been running a rapid fire build with lightning, holy shield with the 2nd upgrade for more lightning procs. I usually run with the first character for the rerolls and the pistol for the ammo amount. I haven't been able to beat it yet, I'll give the elemental shotgun a try

I'm gonna give this a try next time. Sounds fun!

Probably crossbow + Splinter + damage (big shot, reaper bullets) + Ice + Fire as the core them pick up whatever reload, movement, hp upgrades as you need them. I did just complete my first "no shoot" build where I never fired a single bullet- chose Hina and selected crossbow for highest bullet damage for the summons. Killed the first enemies with the shadow then focused on getting all the bullet damage and summons (and their upgrades) also got movement and hp as needed for kiting and surviving. Late game I did want to get the fire + ice combo but I didn't get to it before the 10 minutes ended.

Scarlet + shotgun/flame cannon + fire mage are my most broken builds for now! the fire mage tree is super broken if you've found out how the health regeneration works

I like diamond girl, pistol with fire and firerate buffs. Even if you take dmg then you just heal up instantly. For endgame just go into freeze build with the corpse bullet explosion perk thing, freeze is just an easy win rn for endgame.

Diamond with the crossbow can be crazy. Fusilade + reaper rounds + splinter is all you really need.

Scarlet + Flamethrower + Splinter + Reaper Rounds + all Fire Mage upgrades + Kill Clip + Run and Gun + Rubber Bullets + Tome of Rage
If you don't want to die, don't worry. You won't.

Splinter+Shatter for the chain reactions.

The first time i beat it was earlier today, I used Diamond with flame cannon, went fire mage and splinter with bouncy bullets. For the book the evil reindeer drops i picked the option with more damage and bigger bullets. During the reindeer fight i had one heart left, then i got a level and had the chance to heal when setting things on fire trait. My health went up so fast! It seems a little overpowered to be honest lol.

Ice seems pretty good too as long as you take splinter. Out of all of them lightning seems the weakest, it starts strong but falls off later.

I've been trying different builds, I'm going to try a summoner/lightning build next, i want to see if the lightning bug stacks with the 50% summoner damage. The only problem I see is the other summon's damage goes off of bullet damage, which makes the crossbow the best, which isn't that great for lightning.
