Characters that pick up Black Flag in our curated build pool — with notes on why the combo works where we have them.

Builder

3 builds

Black Flag increases enemy count and rewards you with extra materials for killing cursed enemies, which Builder converts into both shop economy and turret-scaling stacks.

Creature

2 builds

Black Flag adds flat Curse and bonus materials from cursed enemies, feeding both Creature’s damage scaling and his economy at the cost of tougher waves, which he can handle with high DPS.

Sailor

1 build

Black Flag pumps Curse and materials gained per cursed kill, multiplying Sailor’s naval bonus and fueling his shops. It’s risky because it buffs enemies, but Sailor’s kit is designed to punish cursed foes.

Cryptid

1 build

Fits into curse-based Endless strategies where more enemies and cursed targets translate into extra materials, leveraging your strong defenses and economy scaling.

Demon

2 builds

Black Flag adds curse and extra enemies while rewarding you with more materials per kill, which then convert into even more Max HP on Demon. It fits perfectly into a cursed, scaling-focused Demon playstyle that wants both more targets and stronger HP growth.

Fisherman

1 build

Black Flag adds even more enemies and materials on top of Fisherman’s Bait-driven spawns. In ranged Shredder builds, the extra enemies become fodder for explosions and economic scaling, at the cost of higher difficulty that Fisherman’s scaling can handle.

Ogre

2 builds

Black Flag increases enemy count and health, which works well with Ogre's explosive clearing and also rewards you with extra materials whenever cursed enemies die in your chain reactions.

Glutton

1 build

Black Flag pairs well with the cursed setup around Fish Hook, increasing enemy count and rewards so your explosions and Thief Daggers generate even more materials in high-curse Endless runs.
