I'm gonna burst
Most well-balanced classic Calico build for comfort play. Build is good for both experienced and new players BOMB BUILD IS not dead, but not as strong as before. You can't just 1v1 oneshot anyone, you NEED them to be damaged or have teammate Experementing with bombs + arctic + Echo shard and one-shotting people, won't work on high eternus.
