When to pick Stick

Consider picking up the Stick early in the game, especially if you're playing as the Multitasker or Wildling, as these characters benefit from stacking items. Aim for a build that prioritizes Melee Damage to maximize its potential.

When to skip Stick

Skip the Stick if you're focusing on ranged builds or characters that rely heavily on elemental damage, as it won't synergize well with those strategies.

Baby

5 builds

Stick perfectly matches Baby’s huge weapon slot potential: every extra Stick you equip increases the damage of all Sticks, turning a full bar (and eventually more than 12 weapons) into massive melee AoE damage that scales naturally with Baby’s passive.

Multitasker

3 builds

Stick is perfect for Multitasker because it scales damage for every additional copy, letting you fully exploit all 12 weapon slots. Even at lower tiers a large number of Sticks creates huge base damage, compensating for the -5% damage per weapon penalty.

Explorer

2 builds

Stick gives high base damage and scales per copy, compensating for Explorer's -40% damage and providing reliable melee clearing while structures and trees generate extra value.

Gladiator

2 builds

Stick offers strong base damage scaling and works well early while you are filling your six melee slots, giving Gladiator extra punch before his percent damage really takes off.

Stats: Melee Damage · Attack Speed

Wildling

3 builds

Stick is Wildling’s starting Primitive weapon and offers strong early-game scaling when you stack multiple copies. It benefits from the lifesteal bonus and can carry your first waves before transitioning into more specialized Primitive options like Slingshot or Torch once your shops and level-ups stabilize.
