Is Golem good in Brotato?

Golem is a very strong defensive character that becomes incredibly hard to kill once you stack armor and max HP, but his inability to heal makes positioning and scaling crucial.

💪

Strengths

High base Max HP and extra scaling from Max HP and Armor modifiers
Huge Attack Speed and Speed boost when below 50% health, enabling strong offensive pressure
Excellent synergy with armor-scaling weapons like Spiky Shield, turning defense into damage

⚠️

Weaknesses

Cannot heal in any way, so every hit is permanent for the entire run
Greedy or careless positioning is heavily punished, especially in the early game
Relies on finding key armor and Max HP items to reach full potential

🎮

Golem is designed as a tank that converts raw durability into damage. Extra Max HP and Armor scale more efficiently for him than for most other characters, so defensive upgrades are worth even more. The twist is that he cannot heal at all, so you must treat your health as a finite resource and avoid unnecessary damage. Once you drop below 50% HP, you gain a large Attack Speed and Speed boost, making it rewarding to play on the edge while your armor and shields keep you alive. His ideal playstyle revolves around stacking Armor and Max HP, then leveraging armor-scaling weapons to deal damage while kiting enemies safely.

Strategy

🌱Early Game

Rush multiple Spiky Shields as early as possible and grab any item that gives Armor or Max HP. Exoskeleton is especially strong because it combines Armor and Speed, both of which scale well with Golem. In the first waves, focus on safely ramping up your defenses so you can afford to hover around half HP later to activate your Attack Speed and Speed bonuses.

🎒 Items

⚡Mid Game

In the mid game, you should already have several Spiky Shields online. Start turning your Speed into extra damage with Power Generator and look for percent-based damage sources that scale off your growing Max HP, such as Spicy Sauce and Alien Eyes. Upgrade your shields whenever possible to push their armor scaling higher and keep increasing Armor and Max HP on level-ups and items.

🎒 Items

🔥Late Game

Late game, your goal is to become as close to immortal as possible. Keep stacking Armor and Max HP, pushing your Spiky Shields to red tier for massive armor scaling. Defensive utility items like Tardigrade and Medal provide extra safety, while Tree adds more map control. Play around staying below 50% HP to fully benefit from your Attack Speed and Speed bonuses, and rely on your high armor and shields to survive large enemy packs in Endless.

Best weapons for Golem

Spiky Shield scales directly with Armor, which Golem amplifies through his passive, turning every defensive upgrade into both survivability and damage. Running six copies creates a dense wall of shields that benefit from your high Armor and Max HP while letting you safely fight in close range when your low-HP Attack Speed bonus is active.

Best items for Golem (core item pool)

Exoskeleton gives a large chunk of Armor and Speed, both of which are amplified by Golem. The downside to regeneration and life steal does not matter because Golem cannot heal anyway, making it almost pure upside.

Warrior Helmet provides both Armor and Max HP, the two best stats for Golem that are further boosted by his passive, greatly increasing his effective health and Spiky Shield damage.

Power Generator converts your bonus Speed, including the big boost below 50% HP, into extra damage. The flat damage penalty is offset by the strong percentage scaling in longer Endless runs.

Alien Eyes adds a reliable source of automatic AoE damage that scales with offensive stats, helping Golem clear crowds while he focuses on stacking Armor and Max HP for survivability.

Spicy Sauce increases Max HP, which Golem scales better than usual, and adds extra explosion damage when you pick up consumables. Even though you cannot heal, the on-pickup explosions still contribute extra DPS.

Medal is a well-rounded stat package for Golem, boosting Max HP, Armor, Damage and Speed in one item. All of these stats are valuable for his armor-scaling shield build.

Metal Plate offers efficient Armor, which Golem amplifies and converts into Spiky Shield damage. The small damage penalty is negligible compared to the extra survivability and armor scaling.

Tardigrade can save you from a lethal mistake once per wave, which is extremely valuable on a character that cannot heal at all and wants to play near half HP for bonuses.

Tree increases the number of trees on the map, giving more chances for crates and utility without relying on healing. This supports Golem’s economy and item hunting in Endless runs.

Golem High Difficulty Strategy

🌱

Early Game

In the early waves, prioritize surviving without taking unnecessary hits because you cannot recover lost HP. Roll for Spiky Shield and pick up any Armor and Max HP upgrades from level-ups or items like Metal Plate and Warrior Helmet. Position carefully to avoid getting surrounded while still collecting materials for your economy.

⚡

Mid Game

During mid game, scale your core stats even harder: Armor, Max HP, Attack Speed and Speed. Start adding Power Generator to convert Speed into damage and grab percent-based damage items like Alien Eyes and Spicy Sauce. Upgrade your Spiky Shields whenever possible so that your rising Armor turns into reliable damage.

🔥

Late Game

In the late game and Endless, your goal is to be nearly unkillable while leveraging the low-HP Attack Speed bonus. Keep stacking Armor and Max HP, push Spiky Shields to red tier, and add defensive tools like Tardigrade and Medal. Stay around 50% HP to benefit from your bonuses, use your high Speed to kite elites and bosses, and avoid taking multiple hits in quick succession.

💡 Golem excels on high difficulty by stacking Armor and Max HP until enemies can barely scratch him while Spiky Shields do the work. Focus on efficient defensive scaling early, convert Speed into damage mid game, and round out your build with utility and safety items in the late game. Because you can never heal, every decision around positioning and stat upgrades matters, but the payoff is an extremely powerful Endless tank build.

❓

Golem FAQ

1How do I unlock Golem in Brotato?▼

Golem is unlocked by finishing a wave with 1 HP. Survive a wave while ending it at exactly 1 HP to add him to your character roster.

2What are the best weapons for Golem?▼

For the showcased build, Spiky Shield is the standout weapon for Golem. It scales with Armor, which Golem amplifies, so stacking six Spiky Shields alongside high Armor and Max HP is a very strong choice, especially for Endless runs.

3Which stats should I prioritize on Golem?▼

Prioritize Armor first, then Max HP, as both are boosted by Golem’s passive and make Spiky Shield stronger. After that, focus on Attack Speed and Speed so that your low-HP bonuses translate into rapid, high-mobility damage output.

4Can Golem use healing, life steal or regeneration?▼

No. Golem cannot heal in any way, including HP regeneration, life steal and consumables. This makes defensive scaling and careful positioning far more important than on most other characters.

5Is Golem good for Endless mode?▼

Yes. The Immortal Golem Spiky Shield build is specifically played in Endless mode and scales extremely well thanks to increased Armor and Max HP modifiers. Once your shields reach high tiers and your armor is stacked, the build becomes very hard to kill in long runs.
