Kripp's Hypergreens Pygmalien Build

Hypergreens

Hypergreens may have a Value aspect to it, but its primary use is to spam multiple individual Heal triggers. While you can certainly place it adjacent to a Value-scaled Property for a larger Healing rate, this often comes at the cost of speed. It certainly isn't ideal when the Value-stacked Property is a passive item.

In this case, quantity does come before quality, as the more triggers you create, the faster you can scale. It's all about creating a looping engine that hopefully out-scales whatever the enemy build can threaten, then eventually whittling them down with your own bit of offense.

Note that while Kripp did have an Icy Hypergreens, this did not come into play until the very final Day of his run. It's a crazy lucky enchantment, but by no means necessary for the build to function.

Weights

Weights is the bread and butter to any spammy Healing build. It singlehandedly provides the Heal scaling that's needed to survive in combat, while also offering a relevant Damage boost if you can take advantage of it.

The spammy nature of Hypergreens makes the two items a perfect pair, providing more opportunities to potentially Over-Heal and Charge the Weights. Assuming you can stay healthy enough, Weights will go off like crazy, helping to make up for the otherwise wasteful Heals.

Kripp had a Turbo enchanted Weights which was an excellent source of speed control. Haste is extremely limited across Pyg's pool of items, so having this allowed the build to run much smoother.

Matchbox + Luxury Tents

Matchbox is notoriously one of the spammiest items in the game, making it a great inclusion alongside Hypergreens. Enchantments aside, assuming you can find a bit of Burn scaling, it can function as a solid win condition in these stall-type setups.

In Kripp's case, the Restorative Matchbox was his starting item, making it pair perfectly with Luxury Tents. This gave the build a different angle, allowing it to make its fastest items even faster via Multicast, all while having an emergency built-in cheat-death.

Given that Hypergreens is a Healing build, there's definitely still merits to picking up Luxury Tents even without the Restorative Matchbox. Sometimes you will pick it up before you hit your level 10 and/or cheat-death enchant, just in case you find Restorative.

Without a Restorative enchant, you just want to make sure you're getting enough value out of the Multicast. Doubling up Hypergreens doesn't particularly do much aside from creating another fast item for Matchbox. Feel free to experiment with alternatives that better suit your board.

Spammy Alternatives

When it comes to Hypergreens it's really all about speed, so in the case where Matchbox isn't available (or unable to be scaled enough), feel free to look at other options. Yo-Yo is a classic spammy item that works brilliantly with Weights, allowing you to take advantage of the Damage scaling.

Marbles is another solid alternative for its fast Charging Slow utility (often found in Matchbox builds), but you can also use Small Multicast items like Uwashiwali Bird or Badblocker, provided you have the right support to enable them. Get creative!

Ice Luge

Ice Luge is an enabler which makes your items even more spammable. By reducing the Cooldown of certain items, it can occasionally create near-infinite loops that spam triggers and scale to the moon.

You can also improve its effect further with Gunpowder, but I'd recommend expanding the capacity at most by a single point of Ammo. Going further will delay your own items with its self-Freezing effect, and generally becomes redundant after the first couple casts.

Among Kripp's enchanted items, the Shielded enchant is irrelevant. Ice Luge enchantments are not necessary.

Staying Power

Staying Power is one of the key skills for any Weights build. Since Weights is a Tool, this creates a Heal trigger every time it gets used, allowing it to fulfill its own Over-heal requirement for the one second Charge.

It's a fantastic pickup that speeds up the loop, and since the actual Healing amount isn't that important, it's good enough even at Bronze!

Overheal Regeneration

Overheal Regeneration is an excellent way to improve your sustain throughout the fight. One of the issues with Healing builds is that sometimes you simply die before your item can go off. If your items get Slowed, Frozen, or simply have poor timing on its activation, you could die despite being insanely well-scaled.

The Regen helps patch up the vulnerable gaps, giving you a strong passive bonus. After enough stacks it keeps you even healthier, making it easier for its effect to continuously stack up, and more importantly, allow the Weights to Charge.

Equivalent Exchange

Equivalent Exchange is a rare skill that's occasionally dropped by Joyful Jack. If found, it allows you to effectively turbo-Charge any Poison item you get your hands on. Given how many individual triggers this build creates, it's a way to really take the build to the next level.

Venomander became the Poison item of choice in Kripp's setup, allowing him to capitalize on the Luxury Tents Multicast. There are many alternatives, but they do exist outside of Pyg's own item pool. However, find a Toxic enchant and you've got the potential for many insane combos!
