Core Strategy

Use Ghost Flints early game to stack stats while compensating for their armor reduction with Vampire's natural armor gain per level. Transition to Shurikens mid-game for safe ranged damage while maintaining life steal healing.

Avoid Items

Avoid items that reduce max HP too much, as you need enough health pool to survive hits while life stealing back up. Be careful with items that reduce armor early game.

Items:

Glass Cannon - Epic Brotato itemGlass Cannon - Epic item in Brotato.Stats: +25 % Damage-3 ArmorAvailable by default.
Triangle of Power - Epic Brotato itemTriangle of Power - Epic item in Brotato.Stats: +20 % Damage+1 Armor-2 % Damage when you take damage until the end of the waveAvailable by default.

Tips

Use Vampire's passive armor gain to offset ethereal weapons' downsides. Keep HP low but not too low - aim for enough to survive 2-3 hits. Prioritize attack speed to maximize life steal healing potential. Consider transitioning to ranged weapons after stacking enough stats with Ghost Flints.
