Kripp's Stellar Swallowtail Stelle Build

Core Synergies

• Caracara + Aerial Turret is the ideal opener for its speed and raw Damage.
• Gyro Gunsight provides additional Damage, while Headset kickstarts your items when they first gain Flying.
• Clockwork Disc lets you benefit from Gyro Gunsight's long term scaling, in case the raw burst isn't enough.
• Ornithopter adds targeted Flying support to ensure added Weapons can benefit from your Damage buffs.

Tips & Tricks

• Position Caracara so that it always grants Flying to Aerial Turret on the first cast.
• Look for Damage skills like Strength or Right-Handed early on. Save at least two gold for rerolls at level 2.
• Toolbox is a good Economy buy, but focus on obtaining synergies first.
• Always purchase Orbital Polisher when it's available early on. If found at lower tiers, consider not upgrading your target item so that they're still compatible.
• Epicurean Chocolate can be a great source of permanent Damage scaling.
• • Choose your PvE fights wisely so that you'll have time for it to activate, but try not to let it break.
  • Once it's low on Ammo, save it until your level 4 upgrade, allowing you to refill it completely and further improve its rate of scaling.

Common Filler Items

• Angle Grinder Drone
• Joystick
• Red Lantern
• Rocket Drone

Core Synergies

• Battle Drone and Gatling Gun are both solid Weapons that take advantage of Caracara + Gyro Gunsight; Gatling Gun is best for late game.
• Lightning Butterfly is good if you need extra Damage scaling, particularly if you can't find Gyro Gunsight.
• Airplane Glue is an optional scaling item, but it does somewhat interfere with the persistent Haste triggers later on.

Tips & Tricks

• Positioning is sometimes tough when applying Flying to several items. Focus on the essential targeting before considering leftmost/rightmost skills.
• Once the Quest is complete, use your Orbital Polisher to grant Shiny to a fast item like Clockwork Disc or Lightning Butterfly.
• Alternatively, use Orbital Polisher on a Hammer, allowing you to enchant and upgrade ANY item.
• Keep an eye out for Rocket Boots at the Curio, but save it until the end game.

Core Synergies

• Stellar Swallowtail is the core engine of the start-Flying archetype, providing board-wide Haste support while Charging at peak speeds.
• Hang Glider provides valuable Damage scaling and ensures all items have Flying. It also lets Stellar Swallowtail Haste itself.
• Clockwork Disc lets you utilize Hang Glider's secondary effect, and Gatling Gun is simply super fast.
• Flare Gun allows Hang Glider to begin Flying so it can buff itself. It also grants Cooldown Reduction for Vehicles, but only if your Burn isn't Cleansed.
• Wrench may appear like an oddball inclusion, but its inherent Obsidian-like effect makes it a decent item to scale.

Tips & Tricks

• Radar Dome is an excellent alternative to Hang Glider, but you'll want another form of Damage scaling and some targeted Flying support.
• Ornithopter and Lightning Butterfly remain solid inclusions alongside a Radar Dome setup.
• Apply your Rocket Boots to Stellar Swallowtail to amplify its Hasting abilities.
• Prioritize Stelle skills upon level-up (when available). There are several excellent options that fall within the Flying archetype.

Situational Variants

• If you're able to find enough Damage scaling, it can be possible to setup a solo Aerial Turret game plan, instead of searching for a Gold Large win condition.
• • Delivery Drone and Hydraulic Squeezer can create a reliable Charge engine, specifically as long as Aerial Turret is the only active Flying item.
  • Ornithopter is still the key enabler for direct Flying access at a low Cooldown.
