Kripp's Money Furnace Pygmalien Build

Money Furnace requires time in order to grow, meaning this build should only be pursued when found early on.

Core Synergies

• Money Furnace can reach threatening levels of Burn after selling just a handful of Spare Change, allowing it to carry to early game.
• • Cash Register + Money Tree both offer a consistent long-term supply, with the latter also aiding your Economy.
  • Safe, Briefcase, and Piggy Bank each provide Spare Change when sold. Always worth buying if you've got the space to capitalize on them.
• Premium Piggles help provide "Burn scaling" for Money Furnace, which can assist during the first few fights.
• • Premium Orange Piggles can also be used alongside it, if found.

Tips & Tricks

• Managing your Stash space is incredibly important, as it's the main limiting factor when it comes to generating Spare Change.
• Since all Spare Change is set to 0 Value, it's important to find additional ways to support your Economy.
• • Always take advantage of the +2 Income from Jungle Ruins, and purchase any early ATMs that you can afford.
• Rewards Card and Business Card are Pyg staples, but can be awkward to carry when managing Spare Change items.
• • If opting to hold Rewards Card, prioritize using it to Value-stack Money Furnace instead of stockpiling Gold.

Common Filler Items

• Heirlooms
• Hot Stones
• Matchbox
• Piggles Protectors
• Robe
• Steam Ladle

Core Synergies

• PenFT is another Value enabler which can be useful, particularly if you decide to include other items that can benefit from it.
• Booby Trap buys time with its single-use multi-Freeze, which is often enough to let Money Furnace do its job.
• • Private Hot Springs can be useful for similar reasons, but instead provides a half-Health trigger.

Tips & Tricks

• Money Furnace can be included among several different types of boards, allowing lots of creative freedom (and flex slots).
• • Ultimately, the goal is to scale as much Value as possible, then find ways to reliably accelerate it.
  • Adding defensive and/or utility items is also a great choice.
• Be on the lookout for Economic Seminar (to complete the Quest), as this is generally only available during the early to mid game.
• Lemonade Stand and Globe can be worth Stashing for the Max Health gain, IF you can afford the space.

Core Synergies

• Billboard is a great source of Shielding and allows for strong in-combat Value scaling. It also enables some silly Multicast shenanigans with the right setup.
• Gramophone routinely aids Pyg's single-threat builds thanks to its excellent Cooldown Reduction (Diamond-tier is highly recommended).
• • Textiles is a solid alternative with fast Healing items like Bandages, letting it provide persistent Charge support.
  • Ice Luge trades a bit of upfront speed for incredible Cooldown Reduction (again, Diamond-tier makes a key difference).
• Belt can fit flexibly and give the build a sizeable Health boost.

Tips & Tricks

• Bootstraps can help round out missing upgrades and also spread its Enchantments. If found before level 13, save your guaranteed upgrade to hit Diamond.
• • Only consider doing this when you've got a solid Economy.
• Loupe is always welcome for the extra funds, if you can afford to hang onto it.
• Definitely take advantage of off-Hero items to maximize the build's potential. Anything that helps with speed or survivability is a good consideration.

Situational Variants

• Money Tree has the potential to become a solo build-around since it naturally fits into the Money Furnace game plan.
• • While it shouldn't be a priority, it does give a playable option in case Money Furnace isn't found.
  • Generally speaking, it requires an Obsidian/Fiery/Toxic enchantment in order to be viable during the late game.
  • Balcony, Keychain, and Luxury Tents are great supporting items for this variant.
