Kripp's Burn Karnok Build

Core Synergies

• Tinderbox is the primary source of Burn in the early game, and the ideal host to scale later on due to its fast Charge speed.
• • Firefly Lantern pairs well as another opening Burn item.
  • Torch takes things one step further, creating a higher ceiling when fights go longer.
• Spear is amazing for its board-wide Haste effect, regardless of it not being a non-Weapon or Tool.
• • Flying Squirrel should be placed to its left to help accelerate the Haste loop.
  • With both at Silver-tier alongside enough Friend items (to guarantee or near-guarantee Crits), you can nearly reach 100% Haste uptime.
• Dryad + Waterskin are both great flexible additions that can Charge quickly.
• • This benefits Tinderbox in addition to overall Rage gain.

Tips & Tricks

• Prioritize early power and try to snowball your wins. This build works best when it can win early, but will fall off if you take too many losses.
• • Don't be afraid to pivot during the mid to late game if you're falling behind.
• Visit the "Strange Mushroom" event to get a free Small Silver-tier Friend (from Karnok's pool).
• Hunting Knife and Hunter's Journal are the go-to Economy items.
• • Remember to swap in the Hunting Knife before PvE rounds.

Common Filler Items

• Bagpipes
• Hunter's Axe
• Meat
• Snow Wisp
• Stretch Pants
• Wildroot Amulet
• Yarrow Paste

Core Synergies

• Burn Scar offers excellent board-wide Burn scaling, plus converts Friend uses (or Burn item uses) into more Burn triggers.
• • Prioritize upgrading this first to drastically improve its rate of scaling.
• Signal Fire adds another spammy Burn item alongside Tinderbox, while also providing Haste to Friends.
• • Resistance Bands fits well simply as another fast Charging non-Weapon item (regardless of its own effect).
• Geyser is a little bit slower but can stockpile a huge amount of Burn throughout a fight.
• Flare, Beast Call, and Hunter's Sled are all optional (filler) inclusions to help speed up the build.

Tips & Tricks

• Don't include too many Medium-sized items on the board, or else you'll likely slow down your loop. Ideally stick with two, or perhaps three at most.
• Prioritize skills that are immediately beneficial, ideally with flat offensive boosts or Haste/Charge effects.
