Pacifist
2 builds
Tentacle adds extra healing on kill, supplementing Gardens and regeneration. While Pacifist does not focus on damage, incidental kills still happen and this item turns them into valuable sustain.
Vampire
2 builds
Tentacle provides both crit chance and on-kill healing, which synergize perfectly with Vampire’s high-lifesteal, high-crit game plan. More crits mean more reliable sustain, helping compensate for his lack of natural regeneration.

King
3 builds
Tentacle supports both offense and sustain for King, giving extra crit chance to fuel on‑crit effects and a reliable trickle of healing that keeps him healthy in high‑density waves.
Saver
1 build
Tentacle adds crit chance and sustain, which are both crucial for Thief Dagger material farming and staying alive while you prioritize saving over defensive purchases.
Hunter
3 builds
Tentacle adds more Crit Chance and a crit-based healing effect. With Hunter’s high crit rate and Crossbow’s pierce, this provides reliable sustain without investing heavily in regeneration.
