In this guide, we'll cover the build's main engine along with its supportive items and skills.
Don't miss Kripp's video guide to see the build in action, along with all his decisions made throughout the run.
The Critical Core grants itself and items to the right of it Crit Chance and gets Charged by any item to its left. Additionally, it also Charges whenever any item Crits.
So the main engine of this build focuses on getting helping your Crit Core chain off itself and other accelerators.
During his run, Kripp was able to find Turbo Combat Armor from a Haste vendor. This is something that is difficult to consistently find, but see it as a lesson on how to capitalize on an opportunity when you see it.
The main effect that helped this build succeed was the AoE Haste but it also helped to provided a ton of value with survivability (even hitting 2.4k Shield in the final fight) along with Damage scaling for the Crit Core and Chris Army Knife.
By the way, did you know that any Upgrade effects will apply to ALL Cores you have? Make sure to use that to your advantage!
The other major item that's difficult to hit consistently is the Energy Potion, which dropped from the Boilerroom Brawler encounter. In general, this is a really good encounter to target for Dooley!
The Energy Potion grants a massive 4 second Haste per cast, but unfortunately only comes with 1 Ammo to start.
To increase its capacity, you can try to get Gunpowder from these encounters:
Or, you can try to roll it from the Scavenger Hunt event which drops 4 Loot items if you have a Friend (Dooley usually has at least one on board).
Besides empowering your engine with Haste, you can also support your win condition by using crowd control effects like Freeze to buy you more time.
With two cores, Pierre Conditioner will give you twice as much value with his passive effect, "When you use the Core, Freeze an item for 1 seconds."
If you have a Small item slot to spare, equipping an Icicle is almost never a bad idea, especially at higher rarities for longer duration.
Chris Army Knife is one of Dooley's best supportive items in general, not just because of his versatile effect, but also because he triggers almost every relevant synergy in the book (Small, Friend, Tool, and Weapon).
Any skills that help you crit more often or proc off of crits are good targets in this build, such as Sharpened Steel and Improvised Protection.
You can also look for skills that accelerate your build with more Haste (here's a key example of Chris Army Knife's value!).
