Brotato Technomage Build Guide & Best Weapons
Technomage Build Guide & Waffen-Tipps
Is Technomage good in Brotato?
Technomage is a strong hybrid engineering-elemental structure character that scales extremely hard once you stack structures and elemental damage, but levels slowly and relies heavily on good itemization.
Strengths
- Starts with 2 Turrets for a powerful and safe early game.
- Insane synergy loop between elemental damage and structures, giving huge structure attack speed and elemental damage scaling.
- Naturally favors AFK-friendly, structure-based play with strong map control.
- Pairs incredibly well with burning and explosive effects for screen-wide AOE.
Weaknesses
- +75% XP required to level up makes early scaling and stat fixing slower.
- Melee and Ranged Damage are unusable, forcing you into engineering/elemental only.
- Highly item-dependent; weak if you fail to find key structure and burning items.
- Single-target boss damage can lag behind without good explosion and burn scaling.
Technomage Stats & Passive Ability
Technomage is built around a feedback loop between structures and elemental damage. Every point of permanent elemental damage makes all your structures attack faster, while each structure you place adds flat elemental damage. This naturally pushes you into a structure-focused, engineering-heavy playstyle with strong burning and explosion synergies. Because melee and ranged damage modifiers are fully disabled, your power comes almost entirely from engineering, elemental damage and structure items. The +75% XP requirement slows level-ups, so you want to get early value from your starting turrets, invest in survivability and economy where possible, then stack structures, burning sources and explosion scaling to let your turrets and elemental effects clear the map for you.

Wrench - Starter weapon in Brotato.Weapon stats: Spawns a Turret/Incendiary Turret/Laser Turret/Explosive Turret.Available as starter weapon.Wrench is the perfect fit for Technomage because it directly creates structures, which then feed his passive: every structure gives elemental damage, and each point of elemental damage boosts structure attack speed. This makes Wrench both your main damage source and your best scaling tool.
Fireball - Starter weapon in Brotato.Weapon stats: Projectiles explode on hit.Deals -/5x3/6x4/8x5 (+100%) burning damage.Available as starter weapon.Fireball adds extra explosions and strong burning damage on top of your turret network, scaling with Technomage’s elemental focus while helping clear dense waves and chunk down tanky enemies.
Best items for Technomage (core item pool)

Garden - Rare item in Brotato.Stats: Spawns a garden that creates a fruit every 15 secondsAvailable by default.Garden provides healing and counts as a structure, which feeds Technomage’s elemental damage scaling while also making it safer to stand near your turret clusters.
Explosive Turret - Legendary item in Brotato.Stats: Spawns a turret that shoots explosive bullets dealing 25 (+150%) damage in an areaAvailable by default.Explosive Turret turns your structure network into a powerful AOE engine; its explosions scale with your engineering and benefit from any explosion damage bonuses you pick up.
Incendiary Turret - Rare item in Brotato.Stats: Spawns a turret that shoots flames dealing 8x5 (+33%) burning damageAvailable by default.Incendiary Turret adds reliable burning from a structure, perfectly fitting Technomage’s elemental scaling and combining well with burn-enhancing items like Scared Sausage and Greek Fire.
Scared Sausage - Common item in Brotato.Stats: Attacks have a 25% chance to deal 3x1 (+100%) burning damageAvailable by default.Scared Sausage lets your attacks apply extra burning, which stacks with your turrets’ fire output and leverages Technomage’s high elemental damage for strong damage over time.
Greek Fire - Legendary item in Brotato.Stats: Burning deals an additional 10% of current enemy HP as damage (1% for bosses and elites)Available by default.Greek Fire makes all your burns deal percentage HP damage, letting Technomage’s many burning sources melt bulky enemies and keep Endless waves under control.

Technomage High-Difficulty & Endless Strategy
Early Game
In the early waves, rely on your starting turrets and Wrench to do most of the work. Focus on surviving the slower XP gain by picking up armor, a bit of HP and perhaps some Gardens for sustain. Grab early structure items like Turret or Pocket Factory when possible so you can start stacking structures and elemental damage quickly.
Mid Game
In the mid game, pivot hard into engineering, elemental damage and structure density. Replace weaker structures with Explosive Turret and Incendiary Turret, and add Pocket Factory to flood the map with extra turrets. Start investing in explosion damage and size so your turrets and Fireball can wipe out large groups before they reach you.
Late Game
In the late game and Endless, refine your build around high turret count, strong burning and big explosions. Add Fireball for extra explosive and burn coverage, and pick up burn amplifiers like Scared Sausage and Greek Fire. Keep enough armor and HP so you can stand near your turret clusters, while your structures and burns shred elites and bosses over time.
💡 Technomage excels on high difficulty and Endless by turning structures and elemental damage into a self-reinforcing engine. Build lots of structures early, then scale engineering, elemental, explosions and burning effects so your turrets and Fireball clear the map almost on their own. As long as you respect your slower XP curve and invest in enough defenses, the build snowballs into a very safe and powerful late game.
