When to buy Crystal
Consider buying Crystal if you're playing characters like Druid or Captain, especially in builds that focus on high Attack Speed and can mitigate damage. It works well with items that enhance your damage output over time.
When to skip Crystal
Skip Crystal if you're using characters that rely on Engineering, as it reduces that stat by 2. It's also less effective if you struggle to avoid damage.

Best characters for Crystal
Characters that pick up Crystal in our curated build pool — with notes on why the combo works where we have them.
Chunky
2 builds
Crystal helps offset Chunky’s naturally slower feel by ramping up attack speed during waves. It works well when you have enough armor and HP to avoid frequent hits, turning your Choppers or other weapons into faster fruit-farming tools.
Diver
2 builds
Crystal grants stacking attack speed, which is excellent for Shuriken builds that rely on firing many projectiles to exploit Diver’s ranged debuff and Precise crit scaling, especially if you can avoid frequent hits.
Soldier
1 build
Crystal ramps up attack speed the longer you go without taking damage, rewarding good positioning and letting Soldier’s turret output skyrocket over each wave.
Creature
1 build
Crystal ramps up attack speed over each wave, letting SMGs fire faster and convert Creature’s growing Curse into a torrent of bullets, as long as you avoid getting hit.
Demon
2 builds
Crystal offers a large attack speed boost if you avoid taking damage, which helps Ghost Scepters rack up kills and Max HP faster. Use it when you are confident in your crowd control and positioning.
