Brotato Entrepreneur Build Guide
Entrepreneur Build, Waffen & Tipps
Is Entrepreneur good in Brotato?
Entrepreneur is a strong economy-focused character that can snowball hard if you convert gold into stats every wave, but his halved damage scaling and money reset punish greedy or slow starts.
Strengths
- Huge economic power through -25% item prices and boosted harvesting scaling
- 25% extra materials from recycling makes every bad shop roll still profitable
- Works very well with structure and engineering builds that ignore the damage penalty
- Can scale extremely hard in long or Endless runs if you invest correctly each shop
Weaknesses
- Loses 100% of materials at the start of each wave, so you must always spend efficiently
- Damage modifications are reduced by 50%, making standard damage builds feel weak
- If you fall behind in early economy or defenses, catching up is difficult
- Shop mismanagement or buying the wrong items quickly bricks the run
Entrepreneur Stats & Passive Ability
Entrepreneur is all about squeezing maximum value out of every single shop. Because items are 25% cheaper and harvesting scales 50% harder, you want to invest early into harvesting and economy so each wave multiplies your buying power. At the same time you start every wave with 0 materials, so you must spend down to almost nothing before leaving the shop and use recycling and cheap items to convert gold into permanent stats. The reduced damage scaling makes classic raw damage builds inefficient; instead, you either lean on stats that bypass this penalty (like Engineering and structures) or use on-hit and percent-based effects to deal damage. Successful Entrepreneur runs balance economy, defenses, and a scaling damage plan so that by mid to late game your shop advantage has been fully transformed into survivability and DPS.

Because you lose all materials at the start of each wave, always spend your money every shop, taking advantage of the 25% lower prices. Use turret positioning and funnels to get maximum uptime, consider timing level 4 turret upgrades before horde-style waves, and use burning synergy with Snake on level 2 incendiary turrets.

Entrepreneur High Difficulty Strategy
Early Game
In early waves, abuse the -25% item price by aggressively buying harvesting, economy, and cheap defensive items while rerolling for key stats. Commit to a clear damage plan early—either Engineering with Wrenches and turrets or a harvesting-based weapon like Sickle—and always spend almost all of your materials before leaving the shop since you lose them at the start of each wave.
Mid Game
In the mid game, start converting your economic lead into survivability and scaling damage. For engineering builds, stack Engineering, HP regeneration, dodge and armor while adding more turrets and structure synergies like Pocket Factory and Medical Turret. For cursed shop builds, transition from pure harvesting into luck, cursed item discounts, and percent-based or on-hit effects so your DPS keeps pace with enemy health.
Late Game
Late game and Endless waves demand strong defenses and autonomous damage. Focus on explosion size, piercing, and structure density for turret builds to control the map while you kite safely. With cursed shop setups, lean on Giant Belt, Lute debuffs, and turrets to handle high-HP enemies while your luck and range damage keep scaling. Continue prioritizing survivability so you can actually benefit from your economic engine over many waves.
💡 Entrepreneur thrives on high difficulty when you treat every shop as a puzzle: invest into harvesting and discounts early, then transition into a robust, scaling damage engine that sidesteps his reduced damage modifiers. Whether you choose engineering turrets or a cursed shop luck build, always spend your gold, protect your health, and let your superior economy carry you through late waves.
Entrepreneur FAQ
1How do I unlock Entrepreneur in Brotato?▼
Entrepreneur is unlocked by holding 3000 materials in a run. Focus on economy and harvesting characters, stack material gain, and avoid overspending until you hit the requirement.
2What are the best weapons for Entrepreneur?▼
Based on current builds, Wrench is the standout weapon for Entrepreneur thanks to its Engineering and turret synergy that bypasses his damage penalty. Sickle, Lute, Scythe, and Chain Gun also work well in harvesting and cursed shop builds that rely on luck, debuffs, and percent-based damage rather than pure damage modifiers.
3How should I spend my money as Entrepreneur?▼
You lose 100% of your materials at the start of each wave, so you should spend almost everything every shop. Prioritize harvesting and economy early, then buy core damage and defensive items so that your discounted shops translate into permanent stats rather than leftover materials.
4Is an engineering turret build good on Entrepreneur?▼
Yes. The featured "Engineering Entrepreneur" Endless build shows that stacking Engineering with Wrenches, turrets, and structure items like Pocket Factory, Turret, and Medical Turret is very effective, because these sources of damage are not heavily punished by his reduced damage modifications.
5What stats should I prioritize on Entrepreneur?▼
Early on, focus on Harvesting to exploit his 50% increased harvesting modifications and build a strong economy. For damage, Engineering is excellent with Wrench builds, while luck, range damage and percent-based effects are strong in cursed shop setups. Throughout the run, you should also pick up HP regeneration, dodge, and armor to stay alive in high wave counts.
