Focus on maximizing experience gain through Quarterstaffs and level-ups. The Mutant requires 66% less XP to level up, making experience bonuses extremely powerful. Quarterstaffs provide defensive stats passively, allowing focus on offensive stats.

Early Game
Priority is getting multiple Quarterstaffs early. Focus on attack speed to make weapons effective. Tree and Coffee help with material generation and attack speed respectively. Don't overinvest in shop items as they cost 50% more.

Stack harvesting for additional materials and XP gain. Focus on defensive stats through armor and dodge. Keep upgrading Quarterstaffs when possible, but remember blue tier is more efficient than purple for passives.

Look for items that scale with dodge and crit. Weapon damage scales naturally with levels, so focus on survival through dodge and armor. Aim to maintain consistent leveling despite increasing XP requirements.

Lucky Coin - Legendary item in Brotato.Stats: +2 Luck for every 1 % Crit Chance you have -2 ArmorAvailable by default.Tips
Don't combine Quarterstaffs to purple immediately - keep them blue for better passive stats. Prioritize survival stats as damage scales naturally with levels. Remember shop items cost 50% more, so be selective with purchases.
