Brotato Pacifist Build Guide & Strategy
Pacifist Build & Taktik-Guide
Is Pacifist good in Brotato?
Pacifist is a strong, niche character that snowballs economy by keeping enemies alive instead of killing them. He feels weak early but becomes very safe once you stack harvesting, dodge, armor and regeneration.
Strengths
- Passive material and XP income from every living enemy at the end of the wave
- Starts with a Lumberjack Shirt for easy tree farming and extra drops
- Can scale economy extremely hard without relying on killing enemies
- Excels at survival-focused, low-damage playstyles where you just kite and outlast waves
Weaknesses
- -100% Damage makes traditional offensive builds almost impossible
- -100 Engineering prevents using structures for damage or utility
- Relies heavily on positioning, kiting and defensive stats to survive large crowds
- Very item- and stat-dependent; a weak early game can make later waves much harder
Pacifist Stats & Passive Ability
Pacifist gains materials and XP from every living enemy at the end of each wave, which means you are rewarded for keeping enemies alive instead of killing them. Because of -100% Damage and -100 Engineering, you cannot rely on conventional damage or structures and must instead focus on survival, crowd control and economy. Typical Pacifist play revolves around stacking Harvesting early, then pivoting into dodge, armor and HP regeneration so you can comfortably kite huge hordes while your passive income does the work. Weapons are mainly used for knockback and controlling space, not for dealing damage.

Hand - Starter weapon in Brotato.Weapon stats: +3/+6/+9/+18 Harvesting.Available as starter weapon.Hand perfectly fits Pacifist by adding flat Harvesting on every upgrade while providing knockback to push enemies away.

Best items for Pacifist (core item pool)
Garden - Rare item in Brotato.Stats: Spawns a garden that creates a fruit every 15 secondsAvailable by default.Garden provides a reliable, passive healing source that fits Pacifist's defensive, kiting playstyle. Multiple Gardens let you recover from chip damage while you circle around enemies and farm passive materials.
Extra Stomach - Legendary item in Brotato.Stats: +1 Max HP when picking up a consumable while at maximum health (max +8 per wave)Available by default.Extra Stomach turns each consumable into permanent max HP, especially strong with Gardens spawning fruits. This lets Pacifist stack a huge health pool over time for safer Endless runs.
Shackles - Epic item in Brotato.Stats: +8 HP Regeneration+8 Engineering+80 RangeYour Speed is capped at its current valueAvailable by default.Shackles gives massive HP regeneration which is crucial for surviving inside big enemy packs. The speed cap is manageable for Pacifist, who already plays slower and more defensively.
Tentacle - Rare item in Brotato.Stats: +3 % Crit Chance+20% chance to heal 1 HP when killing an enemy with a critical hitUnlock requirement: Win a run with LichTentacle adds extra healing on kill, supplementing Gardens and regeneration. While Pacifist does not focus on damage, incidental kills still happen and this item turns them into valuable sustain.
Bag - Common item in Brotato.Stats: +15 materials when you pick up a crate-1 % SpeedAvailable by default.Bag is a pure economy boost, giving additional materials from crates. Pacifist already scales strongly with materials, so every bit of extra income helps snowball his passive further.
Pacifist High Difficulty Strategy
Early Game
In the early waves, prioritize taking Harvesting on level-ups and in the shop. Rush to 6 Hands as quickly as possible and combine them up the rarity ladder to maximize their Harvesting bonus. Pick up Gardens and other economy or sustain items so you can afford to take some hits while kiting large groups of enemies.
Mid Game
Once your income is stable, shift focus toward survival. Stack dodge and armor first so you can stay near enemies long enough to benefit from your passive without being one-shot. Add HP regeneration and healing tools like Gardens and Extra Stomach, and grab attack speed so your Hands push enemies away more consistently.
Late Game
In the late game and pseudo-Danger 5 situations, add a Taser for extra crowd control while keeping most of your Hands. Maximize dodge, armor and regeneration to survive elite projectiles and charging enemies. Keep circling around the map, hugging the edges and moving in wide loops around enemies so they group up and feed your passive safely.
💡 Pacifist on high difficulty is all about economy first, defense second and crowd control third. You rarely kill enemies; instead you farm them for passive materials and XP while your defensive stats let you sit inside large groups. If you consistently prioritize Harvesting early and then pivot into dodge, armor and regeneration with a bit of attack speed and Taser utility, you can handle even very long Endless runs.
