Kripp's Landscraper Pygmalien Build

While many of the core synergies can be found early, until some Quests are completed and/or Value is stacked, you're probably better off playing a different build. Consider Stashing some pieces in the meantime and slowly work them onto your board once they get better.

Core Synergies

• Spiky Shield packs powerful one-shot potential, but can be very slow initially.
• • Upgrades certainly help, but the most important thing is having large and consistent sources of Shield.
• Landscraper bolsters the Shield of your entire board, but requires a lot of time and investment.
• • If found early, its base Shield is strong enough to include on board right away. Otherwise, you may want to Value-stack it first.
• Silk Scarf is the earliest access to a reliable Shield item, and becomes a potent late game threat once fully unlocked.
• • Prioritize Chocolate Bar events to get easy (and early!) access to Small Silver/Gold items. Use Gumball events for Bronze items.
  • Briefcase, Hatchet, Safe, and Pinata also help work towards the Quest.
  • Try to complete at least 1-2 Quests before including this on board (unless you lack better alternatives).
• Piggles Protectors makes excellent use of early game Shield skills such as Rear Shielding.
• • It's the ideal host for scaling thanks to its doubling effect. Yellow Piggles R (or L), Wrist Warrior, and Ganjo are serviceable inclusions.
• If you found early Burn skills, the Matchbox game plan is a solid opener while you work towards Quests/Value-stacking.
• • Orange Piggles L (or R) is an excellent source of Burn scaling, especially once upgraded.
  • Robe is a great defensive item alongside the non-Weapon Matchbox spam.

Tips & Tricks

• Be cognizant of your Stash space at all times. In order to get the most out of Landscraper, you'll regularly need room to acquire items.
• • Try to keep at least five slots available for Chocolate Bar events. It also makes Gumball events far more convenient.
• Rewards Card is an excellent Economy item and can also be used to further scale Landscraper.
• Pitchfork and Cash Register can help fuel Silk Scarf and Landscraper, IF you have available Stash space.
• • Piggles and/or Premium Piggles fulfill a similar role but at a smaller size.
• Always buy ATM if you can afford it. You'll need a healthy Economy when playing this archetype.

Common Filler Items

• Bandages
• Heirlooms
• Hot Stones
• Marbles
• Wrist Warrior

Core Synergies

• Model Ship + Piggles Protectors is a powerful duo once the Landscraper scaling kicks in.
• • You don't even need to have a second Toy to justify including Model Ship.
• Sponsored Apparel is another great way to take advantage of the huge Shield scaling. It's best used alongside low Cooldown and/or Multicast items.
• • Display Case effectively fulfills the same purpose, but does require you to stack Value on the rest of your board.
  • Badblocker works wonders if you're able to spread out your Value. PenFT can assist in the meantime.

Tips & Tricks

• Gumball events are an excellent way to scale Landscraper throughout the run.
• • Ledger fits very well into this game plan, letting you maximize your Value scaling. However, it does take a lot of work and attention!
• Prioritize upgrading Landscraper ASAP to greatly improve its Value scaling.

Core Synergies

There are a handful of different Shield cores that you can take advantage of alongside Landscraper. Each of these is effective, but won't always pair well together. When assembling your board, be mindful of your Cooldowns to ensure you have a reasonably fast startup time (ideally 3-4 seconds).

• Silk Scarf is the most flexible inclusion that can be used alongside most others.
• • Model Ship + Piggles Protectors would be next in line.
• Billboard + Abacus has a much higher ceiling, but only if you're able to Value-stack both Abacus and Landscraper.
• • Ledger makes this significantly easier.
• Balcony + Sponsored Apparel (or Display Case) works great if you've got a well-scaled Landscraper.
• • If your scaling is on the lower end you may want to consider other options, as having two Medium-sized passive items is a big cost.
• Fort trades a faster startup time for overall speed control, which can be very impactful depending on the matchup.
• • Be extremely careful with upgrades and Cooldown Reduction items/skills, or else you may lose the Multicast bonus on Spiky Shield!

Tips & Tricks

• If you get a Fiery/Toxic enchantment, you also have the choice to drop Spiky Shield in favor of more Shield items.
• Loupe is an excellent pickup that helps fuel the Landscraper game plan, making several purchases become free or even positive in Value.
