Brotato % Enemies

Modifies the number of enemies per wave. More enemies = more loot AND more pressure.

What does % Enemies do in Brotato?

% Enemies is a tradeoff stat: more enemies means more material drops and more XP, but also more incoming damage. Several items take +% Enemies as a cheap downside (Black Flag, Mouse, White Flag), while Gentle Alien and Candle reduce it. On crowd-clear builds (Snake, Flamethrower, Loud) extra enemies amplify your damage; on slow burst builds, they punish you hard.

% Enemies Tips & Strategy

Tip 1: More Enemies on AoE / burn builds = compounding damage scaling.

Tip 2: Less Enemies on slow burst builds (Sniper) buys you breathing room.

Tip 3: Black Flag is a strong T1 if your build can handle the extra pressure.
