Farmer

6 builds

Pruner is the core Farmer weapon because it spawns Gardens that generate fruits, directly feeding his consumable-based harvesting passive while providing healing and an economy engine. All meta Farmer builds stack multiple Pruners early to flood the map with fruits.

Chef

2 builds

Pruner constantly spawns Gardens that create consumables, directly feeding Chef's consumable explosions and sustain. Combined with Tree and other consumable items, it turns the whole map into a healing and burning minefield that synergizes perfectly with his passive.
