Kripp's Burn Jules Build

Note: Jules builds have extremely contextual positioning due to the RNG placement of the Stoves and Coolers. Your mileage may vary.

Core Synergies

• Microwave is the go-to Haste support for Food builds. Its low Cooldown, board-wide effect more than justifies occupying your first Stove.
• Rice is a good early game carry due to its simultaneous Burn/Regen scaling.
• • Scorchpepper is required in order to use it alongside Microwave.
  • Coffee can be used if Rice gets the Stove. However, don't prioritize this over using Microwave.
• Hot Sauce is alternative Burn plan if you have a way to scale it (typically via Cinders and/or Burn skills).
• Black Pepper and Butter are easy inclusions for their Charge/Haste/Multicast. With upgrades, these become very useable later on.
• Excellent Vintage provides valuable speed control with its Multicast Slow.
• • The Cooler slot is less competitive in Burn builds, making this an easy slot in.
• Banu Leaves is incredibly spammy and works very well with early Shield skills and/or scaling.
• • Hang on to this for later, it will come in handy alongside the Large win conditions.

Tips & Tricks

• Pasta Maker is one of Jules' only Economy items, so it can be worth grabbing early.
• Candy Mail can be used to scale Banu Leaves, or even better, Cheese Wheel (if found early).
• • Upgrading it from Bronze to Silver will refill its Ammo, so try to use as much as you can without destroying it.
• Applying Heated/Chilled to your ideal item is generally more important than having optimal positioning.

Common Filler Items

• Baked Potato
• Chef Hat
• Instant Noodles
• Pasta
• Skillet
• Sorbet
• Spatula
• Strawberries

Core Synergies

• Pickled Peppers is a flexible Burn item with great scaling potential.
• • It doesn't have inherent synergies with Food, so you do have the option of pairing it with a wider range of items.
• Meat Tenderizer can be worth grabbing, but requires upgrades to really be efficient. At Gold it's solid, at Diamond it's incredible.
• Universal Sauce is a great pickup if you happen to have Improvised Burn.

Alternative Path

• Imu + Hot Box can create a powerful Slow Burn build alongside Excellent Vintage.
• • This build requires the second Stove (from Level 9) before it becomes playable.
  • However, depending on socket RNG, there is a chance the build becomes impossible to assemble.

Tips & Tricks

• Chocolate Coin is an incredible source of income, while also providing a (potentially) huge Crit boost to your desired item.
• Fortune Cookie is always worth grabbing, provided you have time to fulfill its Quest.
• Cookbook can be useful if obtained at a higher tier than your items on board.
• • It can also upgrade and refill Candy Mail if acquired early.
• Farmer's Market can provide another nice Economy boost in addition to some Max Health stacking.
• • As a Gold-tier item it can be hard to find early, but is worth picking up if you get lucky.

Mid Game Filler Items

• Burrito
• Curry
• Jambalaya
• Pizza
• Tea Siphon
• Toaster

Core Synergies

• Gingerbread House converts fast Food into Shield and Burn.
• • Cheese Wheel is very strong if you can give it a sizeable amount of base Shield. Candy Mail helps a lot.
  • Saffron or Honeycomb can be used for further Shield scaling.
• Grill and Feast essentially serve the same purpose as a Large spammy Burn win condition.
• • They function similarly to Gingerbread House, but opt for more offense over defense.
  • Jumbo Wok is a fourth alternative, but is a little more restrictive (although it still works great with Banu Leaves).
• Pantry takes the Food Burn builds to a whole new level with its absurd Charge effect.
• Egg Timer is a useful combo enabler for slower win conditions like Cheese Wheel.
• Serving Platter is a bit niche, but can be an excellent inclusion if you've found a way to solve Crit scaling for your board.

Tips & Tricks

• Prioritize upgrades that improve the speed of your build. Many Small Food items can scale to a very low Cooldown.
• If you find another way to solve Haste, you do have the option to drop Microwave. That said, Microwave is absolutely late game viable.
