Kripp's Lion Cane HP Stacker Pygmalien Build

How to Position

We stack health. And then we bonk. That’s the build.

Seriously though, this build is not about the destination, it’s about the journey. Using Pygmalien’s high economy play pattern, Kripp was able to build a decently sized fortune and spent it all juicing up his Golden Pawn Shop to have enough health that alongside a Diamond Belt, his Radiant Lion Cane could power through anything and anyone.

The explanation to the build is pretty simple.

• The Rush monster Skill Hastes Lion Cane - Kripp’s only weapon - on Start of Fight.
• Turbo Phonograph reduces its cooldown by half, so it goes from 6 to 3 seconds, essentially making it 1.5 seconds with Haste.
• If the 19000 damage hit from Lion Cane doesn’t kill the opponent, Phonograph is enchanted with Haste, so it will Haste the Lion Cane for another 3 seconds and it will keep bonking very fast.

Build is pretty strong, yeah. Let’s talk about how to get there.

The surge of popularity of Vanessa builds comes from the fact that she has the highest amount of variety and options, enabling different builds that do really well. Single Weapon, Burst Ammo Weapons, Pufferfish and Port Control are all Vanessa builds that tend to do their own thing really well.

The problem with most of these builds is that unlike Dooley and some of the Bee shenanigans, there are only a select few ways to hyperscale damage to get through health stacking Pygmalien’s DPS check.

If you manage to find an early Lemonade Stand or Pawn Shop, there’s definitely a consideration to just stack as much health as possible, even if you’re not bonking, and just countering the meta by being beefy.

Income Generation

Pygmalien is the only hero who gets very easy access to economy items, in particular income increases. They come mostly in the form of buying ATMs and clicking the extra income level up reward.

Cash Register is also an item that can count as income generation, since it creates Spare Change at the start of every day. It is slightly better then income, though, since you can sell the spare change for many extra benefits other than the gold itself, or even upgrade it with level up rewards.

Vendors like Mittel, Aila and Quixel can be pretty good on the economy department on early days, since all of them have either ATMs or items that buy and sell for the same price as a baseline.

The act of buying things and selling them is important for your Pawn Shops and Lemonade Stands, since this economy neutral act of selling items that are essentially free like Hatchet will grant you extra value.

Item Value Increases

Loupe and Rewards Card are probably the best value increasing items to get early on. Loupe makes small bronze items completely free and items that generate other items like Hatchet, Briefcase and Cargo Shorts actually give you extra money for buying them on top of scaling your “when you sell” items.

Rewards card actually scales gold pretty well and you can always choose between juicing up the Pawn Shop for extra health or to do it on a Spare Change for extra gold.

Be on the lookout for a Business Card. It is an important item to just hold in your stash like Starchart is for Vanessa because it will open up a free 4 EXP option in the Bazaar-Con event.
