Optimise the Bubonic Conjuror with this build guide for active combat and World 4 laboratory progression. Building on the chemical theme this elite class has unique area of effect and active talents to become a Cranium Cooking farming master.
This page includes information on priority talents, guidance on when to use them and my recommended attack bar for active combat. Combine this guide with our Mage build and Shaman build pages.

AFK/Active (Cranium Cooking) Combat Build
The Bubo is specialist at active combat gameplay with their wide attacks and monster revive mechanic. This active combat gameplay means having Idleon open and the auto attack function on to rapidly kill crystal monsters, alchemy progression (using Shaman’s Cranium Cooking) and generally high loot or experience gains.
The core of the Bubo active build is:
- Kill monsters as quickly as possible with your Shaman and Bubonic Conjuror area of effect skills.
- Refresh the cooldown of your abilities with the Shaman talent Tenteyecle which has a chance to activate on monster kill.
- Use Raise Dead to resurrect monsters and repeat.
Players should setup their active talent bar with only the following talents in the exact same order when using the Bubo initially. This ensures the game prioritises casting Raise Dead when available and limits slower to cast active talents while ensuring sufficient damage. As you progress your damage and push max talent levels higher this can be reduced to the minimum attack talents needed to clear the map quickly favouring Flatulent Spirit and Sizzling Skull after the Arcane Cultist advancement as this improves the talent mechanics.
Prioritise combat talents as follows:
| Talent | Effect | Notes |
|---|---|---|
 Symbols Of Beyond ~p |
+ Level for all talents higher than level 1 (bonus increases every 20 levels) | Boosts the level of all other talents that have at least one point invested. Placing a single point here as soon as you advance to the Bubonic Conjuror is highly effective and further points can be added as you consider necessary factoring in the other priority talents below. |
 Raise Dead |
Respawns all monsters with increased distance per level | Enables active Bubo gameplay and each talent level increases the area around the character that monsters are revived. For some smaller maps this can be as low as 50 while other maps will require level 100 or beyond. |
 Chemical Warfare |
Drop poison canisters around you that deal damage | The primary attack of the active Bubo initially this spreads poison across an entire map and constantly ticks damage on enemy monsters. Maxing this talent is important as it increases the damage and duration although at higher talent levels we can rely on Flatulent Spirit only for poison spreading. |
 Flatulent Spirit |
Summons a fart cloud to deal damage | A strong attack talent and as your Bubo reaches high levels of damage can be a primary damage source. Like Chemical Warfare additional talent points are important for damage and duration. |
 Utmost Intellect |
+% WIS and + max talent level for Book of the Wise | As our main damage stat this flat and percentage boost to wisdom is notable after obtaining the core attack talents. |
 Wired In Power |
+ Weapon power for every 10 lab levels | Converts your high Bubo lab levels into weapon power and grows alongside your laboratory progression. |
 Memorial Skulls |
+% Kill per kill per 1,000 WIS | Coverts wisdom into extra kills this is useful for pushing new maps or the World 3 Death Note tiers. |
 Skill Wiz |
WIS has a +% larger impact on Skill Efficiency. Also + WIS | The final damage boosting talent available to the Bubo this small boost to wisdom is the smallest damage source available. |
Lab Build
The World 4 Idleon laboratory provides various unique and powerful bonuses for every character based on the nodes or jewels connected. Levels in the lab skill are important for all characters as it unlock slots for chips that give bonuses to characters outside of the lab while also increasing the length of their lab line width to create longer lab connections. While cycling characters through the lab is an option to get a base amount of lab levels the Bubonic Conjuror has a talent that can help improve lab levels for those outside the lab at a reduced experience rate.
While your lab goals will vary over time the Bubonic Conjuror has all the necessary tools to maximise this skill with the following priority talents for your chopping/alchemy preset:
| Talent | Effect | Notes |
|---|---|---|
 Green Tube |
Players to the left of you in lab get +% lab experience | Lab levels are a priority for as it boosts both lab line width and unlocks chip slots. By placing the Bubo to the far right of your lab you’ll be able to buff experience gained for all other lab characters. |
 Upload Squared |
+% Lab experience and efficiency for this character only | Lab efficiency improves experience gain that allows the Bubo to be the lab expert and acquire high level numbers. |
 Essence Transferral |
% Experience earned by this character is given to the lowest lab level character | Following the foundation of Bubo efficiency and experience players can share these gains with their other characters. This skill always directs the experience towards the lowest lab level that might have higher priorities than sitting in your World 4 town lab. |
| Symbols Of Beyond ~p |
+ Level for all talents higher than level 1 (bonus increases every 20 levels) | Similar to the Bubo combat build this talent is useful for boosting every talent on your preset. |
| Skill Wiz |
WIS has a +% larger impact on Skill Efficiency. Also + WIS | Wisdom has a moderate impact to lab efficiency and also important for chopping on this preset. |
| Utmost Intellect |
+% WIS and + max talent level for Book of the Wise | The final potential boost to lab gains (and chopping) through extra wisdom. |
 Purple Tube |
Players to the right of you in lab get +% lab line width | Lab line width is best increased through actual lab levels that makes this a lower priority although still provides some additional flexibility to how you setup your lab. If you feel line width is holding back your progression you can consider prioritising this earlier and reset this talent as necessary. |
