Core Strategy

Focus on maximizing explosion damage through high Max HP and negative attack speed. Explosions trigger when dealing double an enemy's health in one hit. Explosion damage scales with Max HP and inversely with attack speed.

Required Stats:

Early Game

Start with Rock for high base damage and defensive stats. Fix movement speed early to offset initial -50% speed penalty. Prioritize economy items and materials generation. Aim for 20+ harvesting quickly.

Avoid Items

Avoid items that punish taking damage since slow attack speed makes hits inevitable. Skip items that lower wave difficulty as they reduce material gains.

Items:

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

Group enemies together for chain explosions. Leave consumables on ground until needed for healing. First two boss waves are guaranteed hordes. Consider Rocks over other weapons for defensive stats unless significant damage increase.
