Lucky
3 builds
Cheap early-game Luck that pays off quickly via better shops and more drops; Lucky’s scaling makes the -2% damage easy to offset.
Cryptid
1 build
Another accessible early-game luck item; the small damage loss is acceptable when you plan to scale via Ghost Axe stacks or crit-based damage.
Generalist
2 builds
Propeller Hat gives an extra injection of luck to help assemble the core Ghost setup and key items. The small damage penalty is easily offset by the hybrid scaling you gain from better shop rolls.
