Best characters for Jerky
Characters that pick up Jerky in our curated build pool — with notes on why the combo works where we have them.
Chef
2 builds
Jerky significantly raises the heal amount from each consumable, providing powerful sustain over time in both Engineering and bruiser builds while you spam consumables across the map.
Diver
2 builds
Jerky enhances your healing from consumables, complementing Diver’s regeneration-focused kit so you can safely take more offensive items like Glass Cannon in high-damage Endless waves.
Druid
2 builds
Jerky is a core sustain item for Druid, turning the many fruits and consumables he generates into much stronger and smoother healing, which is crucial because he cannot rely on HP Regeneration or Life Steal.
Glutton
1 build
Jerky enhances healing from consumables and spreads it over time, helping you stay at higher HP without instantly capping, which gives you more control over when to grab fruits for Glutton’s full-HP explosion scaling.
Hiker
2 builds
Improves sustain from consumables so Hiker can safely keep moving through crowds, synergizing with his growing Max HP pool from steps.
Masochist
2 builds
Jerky improves the sustain gained from consumables, giving Masochist more healing over time which works well with his high Max HP and constant chip damage. The delayed heal is fine when you are already very tanky.
