Late Game

Look for ranged weapons to deal with elites more safely. The build becomes very powerful but requires careful positioning due to relatively low health.

Avoid Items

Avoid items that reduce your survivability, as you need to get close to enemies to generate materials effectively.

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

Keep distance from elites while still maintaining close enough range to generate materials. Focus on upgrading your daggers early. Consider transitioning to ranged weapons in later waves for safer elite fights.
