Usage Notes
Candelabrador is the mandatory Axe → Death Spiral evolution material and a general-purpose AoE amplifier. Larger Area on orbit and explosion weapons directly increases the number of enemies caught per activation — most valuable in dense enemy waves.
Weapons that benefit most from Area:
- Garlic: Wider aura radius means passive contact damage covers more ground
- Pentagram: Larger annihilation radius catches more enemies and XP gems
- King Bible: Bigger orbit radius keeps enemies at bay longer
Arcana XVIII Boogaloo of Illusions generates weapon copies — wider-area weapons get more value from each copy.
Build Synergies
| Combination | Reason |
|---|---|
| Axe → Death Spiral | Mandatory evolution material; Death Spiral sweeps wide arcing projectiles |
| Garlic builds | Expanded aura radius increases constant-damage coverage |
| Pentagram / Gorgeous Moon | Wider annihilation radius plus better XP gem collection |
| XVIII Boogaloo of Illusions | Wide-area weapon copies maximized |

A: It affects any weapon with an Area stat. AoE and orbital weapons gain the most. Purely linear projectile weapons where range is determined by speed rather than area see limited benefit.
Q: How do I unlock Candelabrador?
