SHORT ANSWER
Start with the route anchor
A reliable physical anchor that lets the economy build without demanding a rare gun.
Load Lanny's route in PlannerWeapon choices that match the run you have
A reliable physical anchor that lets the economy build without demanding a rare gun.
Tradeoff: Reload downtime still needs support; coins do not replace a working firing loop.
A Fire fallback when the shop offers Fire support and the room needs wider pressure.
Tradeoff: Do not change element while the current relics are already paying for Physical.
A crowd-control option when a shop-rich run needs room safety.
Tradeoff: Its deliberate rhythm can be awkward if the economy route is already demanding attention.
How to choose the weapon during a run
- Keep the active element. Switching away from the element your relics and Tarot reference costs more than a higher rarity label usually gives back.
- Check the event rhythm. Reload, first shot, final shot, skill use, and companion triggers only matter when the weapon produces them often enough.
- Match the room. Use the crowd guidance for packs and the boss guidance for a long single-target phase; one weapon does not have to win both jobs equally.
- Switch for a reason. Move when the new weapon fixes a real failure, such as reload downtime, missing room coverage, or an element the rest of the build has already abandoned.
Before a boss, spend enough to make the weapon and survival plan real. A reserve that stays unspent through the boss is not helping the run.
Use coins to buy room coverage and reload or frequency support. Lanny should not rely on a single-target payoff while packs are ending the run.
If the recommended weapon never appears
Income is weak or the shop does not produce a meaningful advantage.
Stop scaling coins and take reliable weapon, reload, frequency, or survival value immediately.
Do not: Do not spend the whole reserve chasing one rare item while the current room is already unstable.
