Brotato Doctor Build & Strategien
Is Doctor good in Brotato?
Doctor is a strong and safe ranged character built around medical weapons and massive HP regeneration. With the right items he clears waves consistently and scales well into late game and Endless, but he needs specific weapons and speed/attack speed support to overcome the -100% Attack Speed penalty.
Strengths
- Extremely high sustain thanks to flat HP regeneration and doubled regen scaling
- Huge attack speed bonus with Medical weapons, turning them into strong DPS tools
- Inbuilt Harvesting to smooth out early economy and item scaling
- Comfortable and forgiving playstyle that can tank chip damage easily in high‑pressure waves
Weaknesses
- Very dependent on finding Medical weapons early to offset the -100% Attack Speed
- Armor scaling is weak due to reduced armor modifications, so bulk must come from regen and dodge
- Transitioning into non‑medical weapons requires careful investment to get back to positive attack speed
- Relies heavily on key rare items like Power Generator and Retromation's Hoodie for peak performance
Doctor Stats & Passive Ability
Doctor is designed as a sustain‑focused ranged character who converts medical weapons into high‑DPS tools. The flat +5 HP Regeneration combined with doubled HP regen scaling lets you heal through constant chip damage without relying on consumables, making positioning more forgiving. The tradeoff is a brutal -100% Attack Speed penalty for non‑medical weapons, so the early and mid game should be played almost exclusively with Medical weapons while you stack Attack Speed, HP Regeneration, and economy. Because armor scaling is weak, your effective survivability comes from a combination of high regen, dodge and good movement. Items and stats that increase speed synergize especially well once you pick up Power Generator, giving you both survivability and damage. In late game, once you have enough attack speed from items and stats to reach positive values, you can optionally transition into powerful non‑medical ranged weapons like Nuclear Launcher or Gatling Laser to ramp up your clear and boss damage.

Strategy
🌱Early Game
In the early waves, lean fully into Medical Guns and economy to get Doctor started. The build focuses on exploiting the +200% Attack Speed with medical weapons while your base regen keeps you safe. Prioritize harvesting to hit the 20 threshold for doubled material gains, then pick up basic damage and range damage to turn Medical Guns into reliable clear without needing extra healing support items.
⚡Mid Game
Once your economy is online, start layering in defensive stats and key scaling items. Dodge and a bit of armor greatly increase your effective HP, which synergizes perfectly with high regeneration. Power Generator turns every point of permanent speed into bonus damage, so stacking movement speed both keeps you safe and boosts DPS. Aim for around 110% movement speed as a comfortable breakpoint while picking up attack speed and range damage so that your Medical Guns can handle denser waves and elites.
🔥Late Game & Endless
In late game and Endless, you can either stay on fully upgraded Medical Guns or transition into heavy ranged options if your attack speed has climbed back into the positive. Ricochet combined with explosive weapons like Nuclear Launcher and strong multi‑hit tools like Gatling Laser gives you excellent wave clear and boss damage. Continue stacking speed for Power Generator, add crit or explosion scaling as needed, and avoid items that interfere with your natural healing patterns or lower your enemy count too much, as Doctor comfortably farms dense waves.
Best weapons for Doctor
Medical Gun is the core weapon for Doctor, fully exploiting the +200% Attack Speed with Medical weapons while providing inherent life steal to pair with his massive HP regeneration. It scales well with range damage, attack speed and on‑hit effects, making it ideal for safe, sustained Endless runs.
Gatling Laser is a strong late‑game transition option once Doctor has enough attack speed from items and stats to overcome his base penalty. Its piercing shots synergize well with Ricochet and range damage, turning your sustain‑oriented character into a powerful wave clearer in Endless.
Nuclear Launcher shines on late‑game Doctor when combined with Ricochet and Explosive Shells, giving huge explosions that clear dense packs while your regen keeps you safe from stray hits. It benefits from range damage, explosion damage and good movement to kite safely around your own blasts.
Best items for Doctor (core item pool)
Power Generator is a cornerstone for Doctor, turning the movement speed you stack for safety into a massive damage multiplier. It scales naturally with Wings and other speed upgrades, letting your regen‑tank playstyle also hit hard in late waves and Endless.
Retromation's Hoodie perfectly complements Doctor by converting dodge into a huge attack speed boost, helping to overcome the -100% Attack Speed penalty. Since Doctor already wants dodge for survival, this item dramatically scales both DPS and survivability at once.
Ricochet adds extra bounces to your projectiles, greatly improving wave clear with Medical Guns and especially late‑game explosive weapons. Doctor's sustain lets him play aggressively around packs, making bounced shots extremely efficient at clearing dense enemy groups.
Sharp Bullet adds extra pierce to your shots, which is excellent with multi‑projectile Medical Guns and other ranged weapons. Doctor's strong sustain makes the small damage penalty negligible compared to the benefit of hitting more enemies per shot.
Coffee provides cheap, early attack speed that helps Doctor reach comfortable firing rates on Medical Guns despite his base penalty. The small damage reduction is easily offset by hitting more often, and it scales well into mid game when combined with Hoodie and other attack speed sources.
Cape adds a large chunk of dodge plus extra life steal, further amplifying Doctor's healing‑focused identity. The dodge not only keeps you alive but also boosts attack speed through Retromation's Hoodie, while the small damage penalties are offset by your scaling and sustain.
Leather Vest offers a solid mix of dodge and a bit of armor, which is valuable for Doctor since armor scaling is weaker for him. The extra dodge pairs well with Hoodie for more attack speed, and your high regen mitigates the Max HP loss.
Exoskeleton gives a strong bundle of armor, crit and speed, all of which Doctor can use well. The extra speed feeds Power Generator, and the armor helps offset his weak armor scaling, while the regen penalty is manageable thanks to his inherently high regeneration modifiers.
Explosive Shells dramatically boosts explosion damage and size, making late‑game Nuclear Launchers extremely potent on Doctor. His sustain lets him fight near his own explosions, turning wave clear and bossing into a strength despite the generic damage penalty.
Wings provides valuable speed and range, both of which benefit Doctor. The speed improves dodging and synergizes with Power Generator for damage, while extra range helps Medical Guns and other ranged weapons hit enemies earlier and from safer distances.
Bag is an efficient early‑game economy item, giving extra materials from crates so you can more reliably buy core scaling pieces. Doctor can comfortably afford the small speed loss early on, especially once you start investing into movement for Power Generator.
Lucky Charm increases luck, improving your chances of finding high‑tier items like Power Generator, Hoodie and Ricochet in the shop. Doctor does not care about the melee damage penalty and can easily overcome the small ranged damage loss with his scaling.
Silver Bullet gives a large damage boost specifically against bosses and elites, which helps Doctor quickly remove high‑priority threats in late waves and Endless. Combined with his strong sustain, it lets you safely focus down dangerous enemies before they overwhelm you.
Doctor High Difficulty & Endless Strategy
Early Game
In the early waves on high difficulty, rush Medical Guns and lock in your economy. Prioritize harvesting rolls until you reach at least 20 so you benefit from doubled material gains, and grab cheap attack speed sources like Coffee to start overcoming the -100% Attack Speed penalty. Focus level‑up choices on Attack Speed, Range Damage and HP Regeneration, letting your natural regen handle most chip damage without needing consumables.
Mid Game
In mid game, start transitioning from pure economy into survivability and scaling. Stack dodge and a bit of armor, using items like Leather Vest, Cape and Exoskeleton to increase effective HP. Pick up Power Generator and then heavily invest in speed upgrades, as these now translate directly into damage and safety. Maintain a comfortable movement speed (around 100–110%) so you can kite elites and bosses while your Medical Guns and on‑hit effects clean up waves.
Late Game
For late game and Endless, either fully upgrade your Medical Guns or gradually pivot into powerful non‑medical ranged weapons like Nuclear Launcher and Gatling Laser once your attack speed is positive. Combine Ricochet with Nuclear Launchers and Explosive Shells to cover the entire map in explosions, and keep stacking speed and damage to stay ahead of scaling enemies. Avoid items that cap your speed or compromise your healing pattern, and rely on manual targeting to quickly delete elites and bosses while your regen and dodge keep you safe.
💡 Doctor excels in long, high‑difficulty and Endless runs by pairing enormous HP regeneration with high attack speed medical weapons and strong movement scaling. Play a patient early game focused on harvesting and Medical Guns, then pivot into dodge, speed and key items like Power Generator and Retromation's Hoodie. In late waves, your choice between staying on medical weapons or transitioning into heavy ranged options lets you adapt to shop RNG while always leveraging your superior sustain.
