Boss Buster

#Overview

Boss Buster is a Rare item that adds 15% damage against elites and bosses for each copy. The bonus is additive with other elite-damage sources: Bacon Bits gives 12% per level, so a maxed Bacon Bits plus one Boss Buster gives ×1.75 against elites and bosses.

It has weight 6 out of 53 among Rare items, about 1.1% of item rolls at luck 0. Copies stack with no cap. It has no evolution.

#How it works

The multiplier applies to every damage instance that hits an elite or a boss, before crit. That includes item procs, burn ticks and blasts as well as weapon hits. Endgame shields can reduce or block the resulting damage.^[1]

#Tips

• Elites always drop a chest and bosses are the main thing between Tibo and the 20:00 mark (Chests, Bosses). Damage that only applies to them is still worth taking.
• It does nothing against ordinary pests. Pair it with something that clears crowds.

#Stat changes

#Obtaining

• Items come from points of interest such as the Fry Cart vendor, Potato Crates, the Microwave and Tater Slots, and from loot runners (Golden Scarab, Lost Saucer). Ordinary chests never give a new item; they can only evolve one you already hold. Rarity weights: Common 59, Uncommon 25, Rare 10, Epic 4, Legendary 2.
