The Bazaar Pygmalien: Weapon Builds

Weapon openers are generally centered around Crook, Showcase, or Lumboars. These are the go-to Damage scalers early on, but if unavailable, you can settle for Weights or Ganjo instead. It's important to find one of these ASAP, so that way you know how to fill in the gaps later.

• Crook — Prioritize Flail and Lumboars as Multicast Mediums. The Quest items can occasionally be good, but only when they're found/completed early.
• Showcase — Leans into the Weapon/Shield hybrid game plan. Look for Small Weapon/Shield items, especially Tusked Helm and Wrist Warrior.
• Lumboars — A reasonable scaler for a board of fast and/or Multicast Weapons. Gets better when you find early neutral/off-hero Weapons (ex. Fang).

Note: When playing the Weights line, you may find opportunities to pivot towards a Heal Build instead.

Economy Items

• Money Tree — Can often fund your entire run alongside Cash Register, regardless of whether you're playing it on board.
• Cash Register — Alongside Money Tree this is a must buy, but even without it's still solid. Just be mindful of your Stash space.
• Business Card / Rewards Card — Always worth buying, unless your Stash space is completely occupied.
• ATM — A great purchase for the Income boost. Only skip if you're extremely short on funds.
• Piggy Bank / Safe / Briefcase — Ridiculously good with Money Tree, but otherwise optional.
• Signet Ring — Provides a small amount of passive Max Health and Income, if you can spare the space.
• Boomerang — An optional Loot generator for PvE fights. It can also temporarily fit onto Crook boards.

Note: Manage your Economy so that you can buy every affordable Weapon you see. This enables a huge power spike via Lifting and Pyg's Gym.

Additional Notes

• Dog — Requires you to hit early Chocolate Bar and/or Gumball events. Pinata, Piggles, and Premium Piggles can also help.
• Jabalian Totem — Finding Kev can unlock Showcase synergies, but either Heal/Shield makes it a solid early Weapon for Crook.

Core Items

• Pyg's Gym — Pyg's premium choice for Damage scaling once enough Weapons have been purchased. If found early, consider using Jabalian Drum first.
• Jabalian Drum — Incredibly strong during the early to mid game due to its persistent Haste and Damage scaling. Commonly leads into Pyg's Gym.
• Yo-Yo —The best host for Damage scaling due to its incredibly spammy nature.
• Dragon Tooth — Converts gold into permanent Damage scaling. A high priority as long as you've got the funds to enable it.
• Belt — A staple support item for Max Health synergies. Great with Regal Blade, Lion Cane, and Double Whammy during the late game.
• Model Ship — Provides Multicast support for Toy-based setups. Commonly paired with Yo-Yo, Marbles, and/or Piggles Protectors.

Mid Game Items

• Cash Cannon — Can be a great source of front-loaded Damage, but only if you've built a strong Economy.
• Display Case / Sponsored Apparel — A dual-scaling duo for the Weapon/Shield hybrid builds. Replaces Showcase.
• Private Jet / Streaming Setup — Value-based multi-scalers for builds that utilize Damage, Shield, and Heal. Additional Value scaling is not required.
• Jabalian Dagger — A fast Weapon that takes advantage of Value synergies, but also doubles as an Economy item.
• Jabalian Recurve Bow — Deals strong burst Damage on early game Crook boards, but aim to replace it by the mid game.
• Apropos Chapeau / Grindstone — Alternative scaling items if your current ones are falling behind. Can be situationally solid.
• PenFT — A low Cooldown Toy and Value-scaler that can help improve startup time.
• Globe — If you can spare the space, it's a solid way to scale your Max Health.

Economy Items

• Masterpiece — Passively grows in Value with zero effort, but occupies a lot of Stash space.
• Ledger — Can be useful for scaling the Value of specific items, but also demands ample space.
