    Notes:
    • If you have binded the Goggles Buff with the Binder item, you can swap it out for the |E| Dying Berserk Buff.
    • if you want to be able to use health items to move around faster rather than have defense against the infected, you can swap out the Group Morale Buff for the Infirmary Buff.
    • If you want to heal off corrosion stacks gained over having health regeneration after taking damage from tanks, you can swap out the |E| Fentanyl Injector Buff for the Health Dispenser Buff.
    • If you prefer to have ways to become immune to slows through moustachio bless over having defense against tanks, you can swap out the General Tank Handler Buff for the |E| Super Moustachio Bless Buff.
    • If you want to have some temporary health to survive with while taking acid damage constantly over health regeneration, you can swap out the |E| Advanced Morphine Injector Buff for the |E| Pain Moderation Buff.
    • If you're levelling up any class from class level 4 to class level 5, the |V| Guardian Dispenser Buff would be the best to replace since removing it from your buff set gives the least amount of impact on your Acid/Corrosive Tank fights, you can swap it out for the |Q| Prowess Buff.
    • If you want to have less reduced movement speed with slows with a buff enhancement over having slow resistance, with slow decay with a buff enhancement, you can swap out the Immolation Buff for the Hyperactive Buff.

    Tips for effectively using this buff set:
    • When you hear the acid from the Acid Hell ability being spawned under your feet, move immediately out from where you are so you can avoid all the acid damage and corrosion stacks. The best way to avoid this ability and the acid from the Corrosive Tank is to always continue being on the move.
    • If you end up getting slowed down majorly and you're about to get hit by any acid attacks, be sure to use all the movement speed buffs you can to get rid of your slows quickly.
