Brotato Beast Master Build & Pet Strategy Guide

Your starting pet and the backbone of Beast Master’s economy: it auto-collects materials, snipes trees you can’t hit yourself, and occasionally doubles pickups, enabling heavy rerolling and easier access to rare pets.

High-scaling melee and explosive pet that excels at deleting clumps of enemies and elites. Scales strongly with Melee Damage and generic Explosion modifiers like Dynamite and Explosive Shells.

Core ranged DPS pet; staying near it or clustering other pets around it ramps its fire rate, letting it melt bosses and elites. Any Ranged Damage and Attack Speed you buy amplifies its output.

Blankets the map in burning projectiles and scales exceptionally with Elemental Damage and burning enhancers like Greek Fire, Eyes Surgery and Snake, giving your zoo strong AoE damage over time.

Counts as both pet and structure, dropping landmines that form a deadly minefield around you. Engineering massively increases both its shots and explosions, and it pairs perfectly with Explosion items and structure buffs like Improved Tools.

Cheap, spammable pet that scales off Max HP and also benefits from all global damage stats on Beast Master. Stacking Ratzillas plus HP items like Mammoth, Octopus, Shmoop and Broken Mouth creates a moving wall of shredding rodents.

One of the most important sustain tools for Beast Master; its aura doubles both HP Regeneration and Life Steal, letting you quickly recover from chip damage and survive scary waves while standing near it.

Directly addresses Beast Master’s vulnerability to ranged enemies by orbiting around you and absorbing incoming bullets. Multiple copies and cursed variants can create a dense shield that trivializes projectile-heavy waves.

Acts as a mobile taunt that soaks aggro for you, which is invaluable when you can’t attack directly or need time to heal. Reviving it between enemy waves or when it drops buys you breathing room during intense moments.

Perfect scaling item for Beast Master: all four offensive stats it grants directly increase pet damage. A single Alloy effectively buffs your entire zoo, making it one of the highest-value legendaries for this character.

Sacrifices Range and pickup range (which Beast Master doesn’t care much about thanks to Lootworm) in exchange for huge Melee and Elemental Damage. Those stats heavily buff Bonk Dog, Blazemander and most other pets.

Supplies a massive chunk of Melee Damage plus regeneration, both of which Beast Master loves. The global Damage penalty is offset by how many individual pets benefit from the Melee boost, and the HP Regeneration pairs well with Doc Moth.

Provides permanent Melee Damage and Engineering growth each wave, which continuously scales your entire pet army. The gradual Max HP loss is manageable if you are also stacking HP items and sustain.

Turns Beast Master’s +2% Speed per pet into a powerful global damage multiplier. With a large pet army your Speed can be extremely high, and Power Generator converts that into a huge boost for all pet attacks.
