Instantly attracting materials greatly increases how often Lucky’s pickup-based passive triggers, adding free damage and improving safety by letting you farm from a distance.

Ranger

Ranger

1 build

Baby Gecko adds even more range while automatically attracting materials, which is key for the Blunderbuss synergy and for safe economy on a fragile ranged character who wants to stay far from enemies.

Speedy

Speedy

3 builds

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.

Buccaneer

Buccaneer

2 builds

Baby Gecko gives extra range plus a chance to attract materials, which both help Buccaneer safely trigger cooldown resets from a distance. The moderate auto-attract chance is useful without completely removing your control over when pickups happen.

Builder

1 build

One Baby Gecko slightly offsets Builder’s low pickup range and improves quality-of-life, but keeping the count low preserves enough uncollected materials on the ground to scale the turret.

Sailor

Sailor

1 build

Baby Gecko is essential in Blunderbuss builds where collecting materials reloads your guns. Auto-attracting materials keeps your weapons firing even when waves are dense or dangerous to path through.
