Brotato Speedy Build Guide & Best Endless Setup
Speedy Build-Guide & Tipps für hohe Schwierigkeit
Is Speedy good in Brotato?
Speedy is a strong, fast‑scaling melee damage character that converts speed directly into damage, making him excellent for high‑movement kiting and Endless runs if you manage his fragile defenses.
Strengths
- Very high innate speed that makes dodging and kiting waves easy.
- Speed is directly converted into melee damage, giving explosive damage scaling.
- Synergizes extremely well with speed‑based items and mobility weapons like Jousting Lance and Shuriken.
- Endless potential is high once you stack speed, dodge and damage multipliers.
Weaknesses
- -100 Armor while standing still plus -3 flat armor makes him very fragile to sudden hits.
- Requires constant movement; stopping or getting cornered can be fatal.
- Needs careful defensive investment (armor, dodge, max HP) to survive late game.
- Fast movement can make precise dodging harder, especially with chaotic enemy patterns.
Speedy Stats & Passive Ability
Speedy plays as a hyper‑mobile melee scaler: every 2% Speed becomes +1 Melee Damage, so stacking movement speed is your main source of DPS. The +30% base Speed lets you easily kite enemies and reposition, while items like Power Generator further reward investing into Speed. However, the -3 Armor plus -100 Armor while standing still means you must stay in motion at all times and build enough armor, dodge and max HP to avoid being one‑shot in later waves.

🌱Early Game
In the early waves, stack Harvesting and Speed while picking up multiple Shuriken copies as soon as possible. Shuriken lets you stay at a safe distance, and its bouncing attacks clear waves without forcing you to dive into packs. Items like Baby Gecko help you collect scattered materials without slowing down, and an early Hunting Trophy dramatically boosts your economy if you already have some critical chance.

From the mid game onward, start fixing Speedy’s defensive weaknesses while further scaling your speed‑based damage. Aim for solid armor and max HP so that the -100 Armor while standing still is less punishing if you ever get clipped. Items like Stone Skin, Warrior Helmet and Cape help round out defenses, while Sharp Bullet and Power Generator massively increase your damage: Sharp Bullet improves Shuriken’s ability to hit multiple targets, and Power Generator converts every point of permanent Speed into bonus damage.

In the late game and into Endless, your goal is to be nearly untouchable while your bouncing Shuriken melt everything. Aim for around 60% dodge, double‑digit armor, and 100+ max HP so that stray hits are survivable even when you briefly stop. Prioritize percent damage increases, critical chance and speed multipliers, and continue upgrading Shuriken for more bounces and higher base damage. Avoid Jousting Lance in this specific build despite its speed scaling, as its slow attack speed makes it clunky for a high‑speed kiting playstyle. Keep moving at all times to avoid the -100 Armor penalty and consider mouse movement for more precise control at high Speed values.

Jousting Lance - Starter weapon in Brotato.Weapon stats: +2/+3/+4/+5 % Speed -10/-15/-20/-25 % Damage while standing still.Available as starter weapon.Jousting Lance directly scales Speed into extra Speed on the weapon, which in turn feeds Speedy’s melee damage passive and any Power Generator you pick up. It pairs well with his constant‑movement playstyle, turning high Speed into both reach and devastating charge damage as long as you avoid standing still.
Shuriken - Starter weapon in Brotato.Weapon stats: Critical hits bounces 1/2/3/4 times.Available as starter weapon.Shuriken is outstanding for Speedy because it lets him convert his high Speed and melee scaling into safe, bouncing projectiles that clear waves from a distance. High critical chance and damage make each Shuriken shot bounce multiple times, and the ranged nature of the weapon helps you stay mobile and avoid the -100 Armor penalty from standing still.
Best items for Speedy (core item pool)
Power Generator - Epic item in Brotato.Stats: +1 % Damage for every permanent 1 % Speed you have -5 % DamageAvailable by default.Power Generator perfectly matches Speedy’s kit by turning every point of permanent Speed into bonus damage on top of his existing Speed‑to‑melee conversion, giving him some of the strongest scaling in the game as you stack Speed items.
Fin - Epic item in Brotato.Stats: +10 % Speed+3 % Life Steal-8 LuckUnlock requirement: Win a run with SpeedyFin adds a big chunk of Speed plus life steal, directly boosting Speedy’s melee damage while improving his sustain. The Luck penalty is negligible compared to the offensive and defensive value it provides for a high‑Speed melee character.
Jet Pack - Legendary item in Brotato.Stats: +15 % Speed+10 % Dodge-5 Max HP-1 ArmorAvailable by default.Jet Pack gives huge Speed and dodge in a single item, amplifying Speedy’s damage scaling and survivability. Although you lose some armor and Max HP, the extra dodge and movement make it easier to avoid hits entirely.
Hunting Trophy - Epic item in Brotato.Stats: 33% chance to gain 1 material when killing an enemy with a critical hitUnlock requirement: Win a run with CrazyHunting Trophy turns Speedy’s high crit Shuriken build into a money‑printing machine, greatly improving your economy on crit‑focused setups and letting you buy more Speed, damage and defenses for Endless scaling.
Baby Gecko - Common item in Brotato.Stats: +10 Range+25% chance to instantly attract a material when it’s droppedAvailable by default.Baby Gecko synergizes with Speedy’s constant movement by pulling in materials automatically, so you can focus on dodging instead of backtracking through dangerous areas to collect drops.
Banner - Rare item in Brotato.Stats: +20 Range+10 % Attack Speed-5 KnockbackAvailable by default.Banner provides range and attack speed, both excellent for Speedy whether he is throwing Shuriken or charging with Jousting Lances. The added range makes high movement easier to control in crowded waves.
Stone Skin - Epic item in Brotato.Stats: +1 Max HP for every permanent 1 Armor you have -6 % Attack SpeedUnlock requirement: Win a run with GolemStone Skin helps patch Speedy’s defensive weaknesses by converting armor into Max HP, giving him the tankiness he needs to survive occasional hits despite his dangerous -100 Armor while standing still.
Warrior Helmet - Epic item in Brotato.Stats: +3 Armor+5 Max HP-5 % SpeedAvailable by default.Warrior Helmet is a great way to add armor and Max HP to such a fragile character. The small Speed loss is easily outweighed by the survivability boost, especially once your total Speed is already very high.

Speedy High Difficulty & Endless Strategy
Early Game
In early waves, focus your level‑ups on Speed, melee damage and Harvesting while quickly assembling either a full Shuriken or Jousting Lance setup. Use Baby Gecko and other economy tools to safely gather materials without overcommitting to risky positions.
Mid Game
During mid game, start investing heavily into defenses: armor, dodge and Max HP are crucial so your -100 Armor while standing still is less dangerous if you get clipped. Pick up scaling items like Power Generator, Fin and Jet Pack to massively grow both Speed and damage as the waves ramp up.
Late Game
In late game and Endless, aim for high dodge, double‑digit armor and a large HP pool while continuing to stack Speed and percent damage. Keep moving constantly to avoid the standing‑still armor penalty, and use your high range and mobility to kite elites and bosses in wide circles rather than face‑tanking them.
💡 Speedy thrives on high‑risk, high‑reward mobility: your damage and safety both come from moving fast and never stopping. Stack Speed, then convert it into damage with Power Generator and your passive while reinforcing your defenses enough to survive mistakes. With a well‑rounded mix of Speed, crits, defenses and economy, Speedy can comfortably transition into powerful Endless runs.
Speedy FAQ
1How do I unlock Speedy in Brotato?▼
Speedy is unlocked by reaching +50% Speed in a run. Once you achieve a total Speed bonus of at least +50%, Speedy becomes available on future runs.
2What are the best weapons for Speedy?▼
Based on the featured builds, Shuriken and Jousting Lance are the best weapons for Speedy. Shuriken offers safe, bouncing ranged damage that scales well with crit and speed, while Jousting Lance directly benefits from high Speed and works well with a melee charging playstyle.
3Which stats should I prioritize on Speedy?▼

4How do I survive with Speedy’s -100 Armor while standing still?▼
Try to stay in motion at all times so the -100 Armor penalty rarely applies, and invest in armor, dodge and Max HP with items like Stone Skin, Warrior Helmet and Jet Pack. Ranged setups like Shuriken also help you keep distance without needing to stop.
5Is Speedy good for Endless runs?▼
Yes. Both featured Speedy builds are played in Endless mode, and his ability to scale damage from Speed plus items like Power Generator and Fin gives him excellent long‑term scaling if you stabilize your defenses.
