Bait & Switch Stick Build
The Fisherman gets special Baits in the shop that increase % Damage but spawn dangerous Lamprey enemies. You must buy every Bait you see. Sticks are the best weapon as they provide flat damage, which multiplies powerfully with the massive % Damage from Baits.
Spears work as a primitive weapon alternative, but Sticks offer better raw damage scaling.
