Kripp's Power Drill Lizard Dooley Build

Pivoting to Power Drill

While many builds begin with their key component, in the case of Power Drill, it's better to pivot into it later. However, thanks to Dooley's item pool, this isn't too challenging a feat. Dooley has a lot of universally good items, many of which apply Haste/Slow/Freeze/Burn/Poison in some form. This is even more apparent with the latest patch, as now all Rays exist at Bronze and are very easy to find.

Additionally, since the Power Drill's Damage is now less relevant and the Charge is one second across all tiers, upgrades don't actually matter. Kripp used a Bronze Power Drill throughout his entire run. This allows for even easier pivots as you aren't required to pick up a higher tier version, nor need to worry about upgrades.

Kripp happened to find a Heavy enchanted Power Drill which helped incentivize the pivot. Enchanting it with Haste/Freeze/Burn/Poison will also fulfill a similar role, as the main benefit is that the enchanted Power Drill can Charge itself. However, even without any enchants, the Power Drill can still be a solid item with enough support.

Ignition Core

Ignition Core is the Core of choice alongside Power Drill thanks to its inherent synergy via Burn; though most Cores are still usable. The important part is that the Power Drill can Charge the Core, making Companion Core builds the main time to avoid pivoting to Power Drill.

While the Ignition Core will be repeatedly activating, just like the Power Drill, it's main function is to be another speedy cog in the wheel in order to proc other items.

Metronome

Metronome is the glue that holds the build together. When placed in between Power Drill and Ignition Core it will spam an absurd amount of Haste triggers, which in turn Charges the Power Drill, and then Charges the Ignition Core. As you can see this creates a continuous loop, which ultimately leads to the build's win condition..

Monitor Lizard

Monitor Lizard converts all the spinning wheels into obscene amounts of Poison. On top of that, since it applies Poison on every Haste trigger, this makes each proc provide twice the benefit for Power Drill.

Any added enchants makes this even crazier, and Monitor Lizard is a premium target for them (as is Metronome).

Cool LEDs

Cool LEDs is a Dooley staple for any build that utilizes the Core, but it's even nastier with Power Drill. Both items fuel each other constantly which makes it easy to permanently Slow the entire enemy board.

Beta Ray

Beta Ray over-performs when paired alongside a Power Drill. Freeze is already so powerful, but since the Core will be Charging constantly, the Beta Ray will activating far more often than usual.

Gamma Ray

Gamma Ray helps scale a ridiculous amount of Poison to the Monitor Lizard. The higher tier you have, the stronger the scaling, so make it a priority target for upgrades. Upgrading to a Diamond Gamma Ray is far more impactful than a Diamond Monitor Lizard.

Righty Tighty

With this build's positioning, Righty Tighty will trigger off the Ignition Core, effectively giving you a second Cool LEDs but in skill form. A fantastic way to generate even more Charges.

Coolant Leak

Coolant Leak isn't quite as strong as it used to be (previously 10 activations), but still provides multiple Freezes at the speed of your rightmost item. And with the Ignition Core, it's going to happen fast! The additional Power Drill Charges are icing on the cake.

Quick Freeze

This build takes easy advantage of Freeze skills since it can apply every type of status condition. Quick Freeze is just one of many, but you can pretty much take whatever ones you find.
