Unfortunate SonIdentifies himself as a helicopter. His pronouns are ready/aim/fire. Icing problems still unsolved hence why he's incapable at maintaining constant flight.+15
Life Steal (FROSTBURN Update)Gunshot for everything, dual revolvers for making ammo and healing, mino for reload, rain and blizzard are your "oh crap" button.+11
no cooldown frostburnspam mino, hit weak spots with long ranger. low hp but fun. use spare slots whatever you like+4
The Cowboy NinjaAn absolutely devasting build meant for to tackle on nightmare mode. Using the shotgun for absurd DPS alongside the sheriff stars for mobility, this build is a one-man army that will let you kill bosses fast, slip out of bad fights in an instant, and wipe out hoards of enemies!+2
Speedy Shawty - Infinite AmmoMagic reload most underrated perk in the game: quick spells = instant reload, you'll forget what the r key was ever even used for. Sherriff Stars to fly around with boing,+1

How it plays

Playbook

The cheapest summon in the Cactus school and the one with the fastest cooldown. Mino plants a cactus mine that waits patiently until something steps on it. At 7 seconds per cast, you can have mines everywhere before most enemies close the gap. They're not big damage individually, but they are everywhere.

Strategy

Pre-seed corridors and entry points before combat. Mino also triggers the Cactus combo with any non-Cactus spell on detonation, so pairing it with a well-timed Fireball or Strikes at the mine location multiplies the damage. Mino + Strikes in particular sends lightning in all directions from the explosion point.

Strengths

Fastest cooldown in the Cactus school by a wide margin
Excellent for controlling entry points and narrow corridors
Triggers Cactus school combo with non-Cactus spells

Weaknesses

Low direct damage compared to later Cactus spells
Passive - enemies that avoid the mine get nothing
