Overview

Stellar Swallowtail is a powerful enabler and win condition for the start-Flying archetype, focusing on speed and efficiency above all else.

This build transitions very well from the early and mid game, as Stellar Swallowtail caps off an already effective strategy and brings it to competitive late game heights.

Example Early Game Path

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.

Example Mid Game Additions

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.

End Game Build Breakdown

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.
