Threat Hero Notes
1
 Petal Petal and her pets can be mowed down by machine gun fire faster than anyone else.
2
 Celeste Maybe it's just because I've played Celeste so much, but her attacks are too predictable.
3
 Vox A Vox with armor protection can be trouble, but no one's smart enough to do that right...?
4
 SAW Depending on the opposing SAW's build, he can either be very dangerous or an easy kill. The best anti-SAW is quick crits. In the case of fast damaging opponents, the serpent mask can be switched out for a Tyrant's Monocle
5
 Ringo Ringo is only dangerous when he has high crits, otherwise he's outgunned.
6
 Kestrel Kestrel's invisibility ability is just about the only threat.
7
 Catherine Stun can be dangerous, especially because it clears your spin-up stacks.
8
   No Threat
9
 Taka Assassin types like Taka are SAW's biggest threat, SAW stands no chance against a sudden ambush without spin-up.
10
   No Threat

What are the aspects of a character? The usual response would include attack, armor, speed, and abilities. For the fortification build, that would be attack speed, attack crit, attack lifesteal, attack damage, armor, speed, and abilities. This build explores and takes advantage of every aspect of SAW's incredible damage output while also increasing his survivability with Serpent Mask, Journey Boots, and a defensive item. (The defensive item should be picked according to your opponents' play style.)
With these perks, SAW's weakness of low mobility won't be a problem at all since little movement is required. As a stationary artillery unit, SAW doesn't need to run, however, if he does find himself overwhelmed, Journey Boots, and his ability Roadie Run enhanced by Alternating Current easily takes him to safety.
