Pass the Fear Build Planner – Compare Routes & Fallbacks

Reviewed for Patch 1.0.503Last updated: August 24, 2026

Use the Pass the Fear build planner from a Hunter route or start here, then add the weapon, skills, relics, and Tarot that keep its job alive. The planner shows conflicts and fallbacks; its score is a comparison tool, not a DPS test.

QUICK ANSWER

Assemble one coherent loadout, then use the score to find the weak link before you commit the run.

  • Choose the Hunter and main weapon first
  • Add items that repeat the same engine
  • Share the finished plan or keep refining it

HOW SCORING WORKS

Does this loadout solve the same problem?

Every pick carries public route tags. The score checks whether your Hunter, weapon, skills, relics, and Tarot are supporting the same route. Conflicts are shown with a reason. Use the number to find a weak link, not to claim a measured damage ranking.

Start with Hunter and weapon

Choose the event you plan to repeat and the element that carries it.

Add pieces that support it

Extra shots, reloads, bombs, dodges, companions, and Tarot rules should reinforce what is already happening.

Fix the part that fails

If rooms or survival are the reason the run fails, fix that before chasing a rare payoff.
