Overview

The Bazaar's new starting kits enable a wide range of beginnings that previously wouldn't exist outside of some extremely rare edge-cases.

In particular, choosing between three random Small enchanted items can occasionally lead you down a unique and exciting path.

Matchbox is the perfect example with its incredibly spammy self-Charging nature. It doesn't take much to truly push its boundaries.

But what if you went a little further and acquired a second Matchbox?

Core Combos and Synergies

Doubling Down

Pygmalien has a lot of Small items that are insanely powerful with the right enchantment. Of the options that exist at Bronze, many of them are spammy, have great scaling potential, or are great Economy items.

Finding an enchanted Matchbox from the start is a pretty good reason to double down on the strategy. The best way to do this is to use the Upgrade Hammer trick to get yourself a second Matchbox.

If you're unfamiliar with how this works, here's a quick breakdown.

  1. Choose the Bronze item you would like to "duplicate".
  2. Select the Lost Crate event and take the Upgrade Hammer.
  3. Search every appropriate vendor that could potentially sell your desired item.
  4. Once found, before purchasing the item, sell your Upgrade Hammer to make your desired item Silver. Then purchase the Bronze one from the shop.

This trick allows you to acquire a second copy of an item, whereas the vendors will normally only allow you to purchase and upgrade your existing one.

Please note that while this can technically be done later in the game with higher tier items, it's much more reliable at Bronze thanks to the Lost Crate event providing reliable access to a Silver Upgrade Hammer.

Be careful not to skip opportunities to find your second item. The later the day, the harder it is to find Bronze tier items, and eventually they will become inaccessible.

Matchbox

Matchbox works well alongside items with low Cooldowns, and even better when those items can also be Charged by other items. This is a big reason why getting a second Matchbox makes such a difference, as well as having twice the Burn stacking.

Kripp started with the Shielded Matchbox, while the second one eventually was enchanted by the Turbo Bootstraps.

Marbles

Marbles is a common component of Matchbox builds thanks to it being a non-Weapon item with a self-Charging capability. Plus having the ability to Slow enemy items works as a great deterrent while the Burn stacks up and ticks down.

It was also enchanted by the Turbo Bootstraps, allowing it to aid in accelerating the build's rate of fire.

Ice Luge

Ice Luge is a ridiculous item that makes your items reach unthinkable speeds. Placed between the Matchboxes sets them up to eventually hit one second Cooldowns, allowing them to continuously chain each other on internal Cooldown.

Getting this to Diamond makes a big difference as the Cooldown reduction goes from one second to two. Additionally, you'll really want to find additional Ammo so that it can go off more than once.

Searching Loot items for Gunpowder is generally the best bet, but it's worth noting that you really only want one additional Ammo. Adding extra is actually a downside as it will continue to Freeze your own items, and after two uses the Cooldowns are low enough.

Supportive Items and Skills

Small and Speedy

Salt, Jewelry, and Nitro are ultimately here because they are fast, Small, non-Weapon items. While they each have their own utility, the main purpose is to fuel the Matchboxes as quickly as possible.

The Salt was also enchanted via the Turbo Bootstraps. Not a necessity, but like the others, helps increase the overall speed.

Synergy Utility

Bushel and Steam Ladle only make sense alongside specific parts of the build. Without the Shielded enchanted Matchbox, there wouldn't be a very good reason to include the Bushel.

Similarly the Steam Ladle is only getting its Burn scaling from Ice Luge, and otherwise isn't accomplishing much aside from being a low Cooldown item. Although that's perfectly fine.

Overall these are the first two most replaceable items, depending on what the rest of your board looks like. They both work great at fulfilling their existing roles, but without meeting the specific setups don't offer much value.

Minimalist

Minimalist is an absolute premium skill for the builds that can utilize it. Having no Weapons is a pretty steep requirement most of the time, but since Matchbox is your offense it works perfectly.

Healthy Hoarder

Healthy Hoarder is a great source of extra Max Health and works particularly well when the board consists of mostly Small items. The build doesn't actually have that much of a defense line, aside from the Shielded Matchbox, so additional HP is very welcome.
