Kjaro's Band
Her Nano-Bomb and Nano-Spear easily pass the 400% hit threshold.
When you land a very big hit (over 4 times your damage), a fire tornado also comes out. Once every 10 s. Each extra band, more damage.
Stacking: Each copy adds the same, no cap.
Watch out: The hit itself must deal 400%: crits and Armor-Piercing Rounds do not count. It always fires with Runald's and they share the cooldown.

Runald's Band
Same, and it freezes.
When you land a very big hit (over 4 times your damage), an ice blast also hits that slows enemies a lot. Once every 10 s. Each extra band, more damage and a longer slow.
Stacking: Each copy adds the same, no cap.
Watch out: The hit itself must deal 400%: crits and Armor-Piercing Rounds do not count. It always fires with Kjaro's and they share the cooldown.

Soldier's Syringe
Speeds up her animations, secondary charge and Flamethrower ticks.
You attack 15% faster: more shots and hits per second. Each extra syringe adds another 15%.
Stacking: Each copy adds the same, no cap.
Watch out: Only speeds up attacks and animations: it does not lower skill cooldowns. Bandit does not shoot faster, he only reloads faster.

Backup Magazine
With Nano-Spear, it can freeze Mithrix over and over.
Your secondary skill (right click) gets one more use before its cooldown. Each extra magazine, one more.
Stacking: Each copy adds the same, no cap.
Watch out: More uses, but it does not lower the secondary cooldown. Lets Engineer place more mines.

Lens-Maker's Glasses
One of the best early picks for her.
10% of your hits are critical and do double damage. Each extra pair adds 10%; with ten, every hit is a crit.
Stacking: Capped at 10: with ten, every hit crits. The eleventh does nothing, unless you plan to turn them into Lost Seer's Lenses.
Watch out: On Railgunner they give no crits: each pair adds 10% crit damage instead. Crit chance does not depend on the hit's proc coefficient.

Challenge «Pause.»: Free the survivor suspended in time. (53.4% of Steam players have it).
We recommend Flame Bolt, Charged Nano-Bomb, Snapfreeze, Flamethrower.
Kjaro's Band, Runald's Band, Soldier's Syringe, Backup Magazine, Lens-Maker's Glasses.
