Overview

Ignition Core is a Dooley staple archetype thanks to its self-scaling capabilities and flexible nature. Many contextual creations can come to life, allowing it to shine even under abnormal circumstances.

This build is easy enough to assemble during the early to mid game, but often needs a bit of oomph to get it across the finish line. Either find its key combos, or piece together something unique of your own!

Example Early Game Path

Core Synergies

  • Ignition Core is the primary carry due to its inherent Burn scaling.
  • Soldering Gun works well with early Burn skills and is quite effective at Charging the Core.
  • Hammlet or Chris Army Knife can be used alongside Soldering Gun as a single-slot Friend/Tool.
  • Plasma Grenade offers great disruption, especially when improved via Makeshift Barricade and/or Improvised Bludgeon.
  • Rocket Launcher is solid for the first few days, positioned to the right of the Ignition Core for Multicast Burn scaling.
  • Flint Stones is situationally useful early on. It can deal a ton of Burn, but only if you're playing Relics/Tools and no Tech items (aside from the Core).

Tips & Tricks

  • Early to mid game Dooley builds are very flexible. As a rule of thumb, play the fastest Small items available to you in order to quickly Charge the Core.
  • During the first few days, you can optimize positioning to scale other Burn items. However, you'll eventually want to shift to a rightmost Ignition Core setup.
  • Sat-Comm is a solid Economy item, and worthy of your level 4 Bronze upgrade if you don't have other priorities.
  • Gearnola Bar is always worth the grab for its low commitment, delayed Health boost.

Example Mid Game Additions

Core Synergies

  • Metronome is a great source of Haste, but you'll definitely want to upgrade it to Gold for the two second duration.
  • Omega Ray pairs nicely with Ignition Core for more Burn scaling.
  • RED-F1R3FLY + YLW-M4NT1S are a solid duo that add extra Burn and Haste. However, they generally require upgrades to remain usable.

Tips & Tricks

  • Rocket Boots is an excellent pickup to improve items like Metronome and YLW-M4NT1S, or to be saved for later for Solar Farm.
  • Always Stash a Thrusters when available. It may not be immediately useful, but unlocks a powerful combo for the late game.
  • Schematics and Temporal Navigator are additional Economy items if you have spare funds and storage space.

End Game Build Breakdown

Core Synergies

Ignition Core builds ultimately aim to Charge the Core as fast as possible, but their ways of doing so vary. In most cases, it's based on one of a few setups.

  1. Dino Saddle + Thrusters is a powerful combo which grants Multicast to the Ignition Core, effectively doubling its scaling and enchantment uses.
  2. 3D Printer combined with items like Fiber Optics or Beta Ray for absolutely ridiculous triggers.
  3. Solar Farm + Lens, among other efficient Dooley items.

Tips & Tricks

  • Chronobarrier can be another great build-around, assuming you're able to play a full board of Tech items.
  • Scrap Metal is always worth buying as long as you've got a solid amount of funds.

Situational Variants

  • Bunker is an alternative Multicast enabler, specifically usable when you have a Shielded Ignition Core.
  • Chaff can create an infinite loop with a Fiery 3D Printer, but make sure you watch your Cooldown timing to ensure it goes off.
