Loud is an explosion melee build. Its AoE clears crowds, so the plan is to wade in and let blasts do the crowd work.

Early game (waves 1–5)
Buy a melee weapon and Melee Damage wave 1. Add an AoE item so crowds start dying together. Keep moving.
Mid game (waves 6–15)
Stack Melee Damage and AoE. You clear packed waves fast. Add lifesteal and HP for sustain.
Late game (waves 16–20 and boss)
High Melee Damage plus AoE deletes the boss and its adds. Dive in, blast, and dodge the big slam.
Common mistakes
- Standing in your own bad position
- Forgetting survival stats
- Using weak single-target weapons
How the character plays
Loud’s explosions clear packed waves, so it wants enemies grouped. Walk into the densest part of the wave and let the area damage do the work. Keep a dodge or movement stat so bombers cannot trade with you. The build feels slow against lone targets, so never duel an elite by yourself.
Group the pack, then let the explosions do the clearing.
