Zombies / Mecha Zombies
- Little fodder that exists for agricultural resources. Use the Chainsaw for ammo, Glory Kill for health, and Flame Belch for armor.
- Double dash in a standard zombie to put them in a Glory Kill state.
- Mecha Zombies is much more difficult. They are a good target for the chainsaw.
Leprechaun
- Guns with bullets are particularly good. The heavy cannon will stun a sprite and bring him to glory faster.
Blaster Soldier / Shield Soldier
- The shotgun can instantly fail a Blaster Soldier.
- Shield blasters are weak for the Plasma Rifle. Overloading their shield will instantly kill them and stun nearby enemies.
- Blood Punch will instantly shatter a Shield Soldier.
Gargoyle
- Like Imps, bullet weapons will defeat gargoyles. Put them out of action as they fly to instantly put them in a Glory Kill state.
Lost soul
- Ice Bomb instantly kills Lost Souls.
- Gun explosions will throw Lost Souls upside down and trigger them like a grenade - like a Cueball.
Maykr Drones
- Use the Precision Heavy Cannon mod to instantly kill Maykr drones with a headshot. Use the Rune to idle yourself in the air!
- Their heads are their only weakness. Their bodies absorb an absurd amount of damage.
- Headshots will cause them to generate ammo, health, and armor.
Arachnotron
- Use the precision heavy cannon to easily destroy the turret on the back of the Arachnotron.
Cacodemon
- The Charged Ballista can instantly kill a Cacodemon at long range.
- Frag Grenades can be used to instantly put them into a Glory Kill state. Use it to avoid spending mid-range ammo. You can also use sticky grenades with the shotgun.
Carcass
- The Plasma Rifle can overload any shields the Hulk spawns, killing nearby enemies.
- Blood Punch will also instantly destroy their shields.
- The carcass will only attack if you get close to it. Otherwise, it harmlessly generates shields from afar.
Cyber Mancubus
- Blood Punch shatters the Cyber Mancubus armor, leaving them exposed. Normal attacks will work on them.
- Combine Blood Punch and a Heat Blast loaded with the Plasma Rifle to quickly destroy a Cyber Mancubus.
- You cannot destroy Cyber Mancubus arm cannons.
- Killing Chest Glory detonates Cyber Mancubus.
- Very easy targets for Double Frag Grenades.
Dread Knight / Hell Knight
- Use the Chaingun to stun the Dread Knight faster.
Mancubus
- Use the precision heavy cannon to destroy the hand cannons. This deactivates flamethrowers and weakens blasters.
- Like Cyber Mancubus, a chest Glory Kill will detonate the Mancubus.
- An easy target for frag grenades. Even better if you have the Frag Grenade dual upgrade.
Elemental of Pain
- Use ice bombs to instantly kill the lost souls it spawns.
- The Ballista Arbalest Mod can quickly kill Pain Elemental with three charged hits.
- They are also weak compared to the standard Ballista.
Pinky
- Save your Blood Punch for the Pinky Demons. He kills them instantly every time.
- The Super Shotgun can insta-kill a Pinky by shooting in the back within range of a white point.
- Use the ice bomb to easily stop and maneuver behind it for a simple kill.
Prowler
- Ice Bomb will stop its teleportation ability.
- Lock-On Burst is the easiest way to kill a Prowler.
Revenant
- Revenant staggers faster when fired in the air.
- Use the precision heavy cannon to destroy shoulder launchers to deactivate bolt-action rockets.
- You can break the rocket lock by rushing or double jumping.
Spectre
- The ice bomb will deactivate the camouflage. When the stealth is broken, lockable weapons will work on it.
- Again, the Super Shotgun can kill a Specter with a single hit at close range.
Whiplash
- The ice bomb will prevent it from slipping.
- Lock-On Burst is a great way to kill them quickly and beat their unpredictable movement.
Archvile
- Use the Super Shotgun at close range to make them wobble during the summoning. It will kill incoming demons.
- Use Blood Punch to smash their fire shield.
- Save the BFG / Crucible sword to kill them as quickly as possible.
Hell baron
- They are fast. Use ice bombs to slow them down and unlock debuff upgrade.
- Use the Movable Turret - Chaingun will put them in a Glory Kill state faster.
- Otherwise, use the Crucible sword.
Doom hunter
- Aim for the sled first - use the Ballista to accurately shoot the sled. When it is destroyed, you permanently deactivate its rockets / shield.
- Blood Punch deals bonus damage to the sled. Save your blood shot for the sled.
- Use the Plasma Rifle to deactivate the shield, then use the Lock-On Burst Rocket Launcher to damage it extremely quickly.
Marauder
- Extremely deadly enemies. Use the Super Shotgun and wait halfway - shoot when their eyes glow green.
- While they're failing, quickly swap with the BFG or Unmaykr to kill them quickly. While it falters, a BFG shot will kill them instantly. The Unmaykr kills them in two weaknesses.
- Kill the dog they spawn as soon as possible.
- Keep moving until all other enemies are taken care of, they clash against the Marauder 1 on 1. They cannot hit you from long range.
Tyrant
- Tyrants are very slow and turn slowly. Use Dual Frag Grenades, Ice Bomb, and Lockdown Hatch to kill them quickly. Ballista also helps.
- Stay back and use double dashes to avoid his attacks. If you keep moving, the Tyrant is not a very difficult enemy.
