Best characters for Padding

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

Apprentice

1 build

Padding converts your banked materials into extra Max HP, which is vital for surviving deep Endless waves as Apprentice. It works nicely with economy pieces like Hunting Trophy, Bag and Metal Detector.

Saver

1 build

Padding directly converts saved materials into Max HP, which not only boosts survivability but also empowers HP‑scaling weapons like Potato Thrower.

Streamer

2 builds

Padding turns your large material pools into bonus Max HP, offsetting Streamer’s penalties for holding materials and making hoarding much safer.

Demon

2 builds

Padding directly amplifies the amount of Max HP you get from holding materials, which is exactly what Demon wants. It turns temporary material savings into a massive permanent HP pool.
