Best Clawbringer and Stabbomancer Status Damage Build

Master the Clawbringer and Stabbomancer in Tiny Tina's Wonderlands with this ultimate status damage build guide. Optimize skills, weapons, and gear for maximum elemental chaos.

This guide details the best Clawbringer and Stabbomancer status damage build for Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, focusing on maximizing elemental effects and damage output.

Skill Tree - Clawbringer

Prioritize maxing Oath of Fire and Oath of Thunder for bonus fire and lightning damage to guns and melee, respectively. Follow up with Dragon Aura to increase elemental damage, and finish with Blasthamut’s Favor.

Skill Tree - Stabbomancer

The core of this build is the Contagion skill, which spreads Status Effects to nearby enemies or applies a new random one if none are present. Start by maxing Potent Poisons for increased status effect damage, then invest three points into Exploit Their Weakness. Add points into Follow Up, Shadow Step, and three points in Arsenal to reach the next tier. Max out Contagion and Sneak Attack. Finally, acquire Alchemical Agent, three points into A Thousand Cuts, and the capstone skill, Executioner’s Blade.

Hero Stats and Backstory

The optimal Backstory for this build is Rogue Alchemist due to its significant Wisdom boost. Maximize Wisdom first, followed by Strength for critical hit damage. Attunement is the third priority to increase the frequency of using From the Shadows.

Spells

The primary spell is Buffmeister for attack boosts, ideally with Pew and Bonk effects to complement both melee and gun attacks. A viable alternative is the Gelatinous Cube, known for its high status effect chance and damage.

Weapons

The ideal melee weapon is the legendary Twin Soul with the Caustic passive, which grants a 30% buff to Status Effect Chance/Damage for 10 seconds after a melee attack. For guns, the White Rider is recommended for its superior status effect damage compared to weapons like the Live Wire. The Crossblade shotgun is also a strong choice, dealing two elements simultaneously for multiple status effects.

Equipment

The Body Rune is a recommended Ward, offering a 20% bonus fire damage upon enemy kill and health regeneration. The Bad Egg is a substitute that provides bonus Dark Magic damage when the Ward is depleted. For Armor, seek a piece with +3 to the Contagion skill, typically found on Graveborn/Stabbomancer armor with the Cultist’s prefix. The Corrupted Platemail is the best overall armor, converting damage to Dark Magic. For rings, focus on melee-enhancing options to synergize with the Stabbomancer’s capstone.

Enchantments

On your gun, use an Action Skill Start -> Increase Damage Dealt enchantment. Your melee weapon should have an Action Skill Start -> Increase Status Effect Chance/Damage enchantment. Other useful enchantments include those that boost elemental or melee damage.
