Avoid Items

Avoid turrets early game as they destroy trees uncontrollably. Skip items that reduce luck or range too severely.

Explosive Turret - Legendary Brotato itemExplosive Turret - Legendary item in Brotato.Stats: Spawns a turret that shoots explosive bullets dealing 25 (+150%) damage in an areaAvailable by default.

Tips

Keep trees alive early game for regeneration and material. Time tree destruction for when luck is high enough to get good crates. Balance between melee and ranged weapons for different enemy types. Don't destroy trees too early unless necessary for healing.
