He is Coming Bomb Build Guide
Written by Michael Owen | He is Coming
The bomb build in He Is Coming focuses on ending fights before they start. It stacks early burst damage through bomb triggers and food fusion effects, letting you clear rooms before enemies can react.
Core strategy
The build uses Cherry Bomb and similar early-trigger bombs to deal damage as soon as a fight begins. Using the cauldron to fuse food creates Explosive Roast, which deals four bomb hits and grants five max HP. Adding Kindling Bomb increases the damage of your next bomb by three, amplifying every early strike.
Momentum is maintained through items that trigger on strong bomb hits, such as Explosive Surprise, which grants an additional strike when a bomb deals five or more damage. Bomb Bag lets you spend three speed to retrigger a random bomb, allowing chain explosions for faster clears.
Focus on items with “Battle Start” effects and multiple bomb sources to scale damage quickly. The goal is to wipe enemies in the opening seconds.
