The Diana-Saur Core

Diana-Saur scales its Damage based on the amount of items you destroy. Like just about every other scaling item, the sooner you can find it, the better.

While the Damage scaling is important, what you really want is the item destruction. However, in order to be effective you’ll need upgrades as soon as possible.

Diana-Saur can only destroy items when the enemy has at least X amount of (non-destroyed) items on board. At Silver tier the minimum threshold is six items. At Gold it becomes five, and Diamond becomes four.

At lower tiers you are far more limited to how many items you can destroy, meaning enemy boards with lower item counts can be far less impacted.

Try to find Diana-Saur as early as possible to make it available for the guaranteed level-up reward upgrades.

The biggest drawback to Diana-Saur (and most item destruction) is its high Cooldown. One of the best ways to accelerate this is pairing it with a Battery.

The better the Battery, the more power you can Charge, and the faster you’ll blow up your opponent. So if you’ve already upgraded Diana-Saur to Diamond, make Battery your next priority.

Companion Core is the Core of choice to keep Diana-Saur running as fast as possible. It also works well with the other supporting Friends of the build.

It’s important to get at least one upgrade on Companion Core in order to bump up its Haste time to two seconds. This ensures you can have permanent Haste uptime on your Friends. Beyond that, there’s no need for further upgrades.

Alternatively, if you don’t find a Core upgrade on level-up, you can always search The Curio for a pair of Rocket Boots. A Bronze Companion Core buffed by Rocket Boots will function the same as Silver.

Beyond the Dino destruction, you’ll still need ways to defeat the opponent. Monitor Lizard provides extra offense via Poison.

Since Haste is already a priority, it’s got excellent synergy with the build. Additionally, you’ll usually have more time for the Poison to stack because the enemy board will be much weaker (if not completely useless) after Diana-Saur goes to town!

Monitor Lizard

Kripp managed to give Monitor Lizard a ton of Poison through skills, level-up rewards, or visiting The Curio.

Dooley’s Cores Charge when you use other items. In the case of Companion Core, it’s when you use Friends. Miss Isles is the perfect supporter thanks to Multicast and a very low Cooldown.

The Damage is irrelevant, so don’t worry about upgrading it.

Miss Isles

Duct Tape is one of Dooley’s universally best items. For this build specifically it functions as the sole defensive Shield item.

Most importantly, it enables you to pick up many of the super powerful Shield skills. Positioned between the Companion Core and Miss Isles, it’ll be triggering a ton.

Kripp managed to get the Bonk skill as a very lucky drop from the Thug PvE Encounter. It’s not mandatory for the build, but its ability to slow down the enemy means Diana-Saur can potentially destroy items before they ever get the chance to be used.

Titanium Casing is one of Dooley’s best Shield skills. This helps stack Duct Tape to ridiculous levels since the Companion Core will be spammed continuously.

Another excellent Shield skill that capitalizes on Miss Isles is Defensive Stance.

Defensive Stance

Hardened Shield is valuable against the more aggressive Weapon builds. Sometimes there isn’t enough time to scale Shield by using your own items. Let the enemy do the work for you.
