The Bazaar Meta Builds (Season 9)

Oni Mask offers some of the strongest Burn scaling in the game, provided you can reliably Crit. This is quite achievable with various Small Crit items, along with powerful skills like Tracer Fire that benefit from Incendiary Rounds spam. Worst case, it's an easy pivot into other Slow Burn builds like Lighthouse.

Build Guide:

• Slow Burn Vanessa

A Full Ammo setup is definitely viable as long as you pickup some Damage and/or Ammo skills. It packs incredibly fast burst that can take out its foes before they even get started. Post Orange Julian nerfs, it's generally the faster and more reliable option compared to the previous combo-centric builds.

Build Guide:

• Gunslinger Aggro Vanessa

Anchor is an incredibly fast clock with the right setup, and is quite easy to pull off as long as you have some Charge and/or Cooldown Reduction tools. It's somewhat reminiscent of the old Powder Keg builds, except this time it's a much easier pivot as no specific skills (or enchantments/Crit) are required.

Cash Cannon is now the premier Pyg Weapon now that it scales at double the previous rate. Its end game setups are very flexible, with the general game plan focused around building a strong economy. In the end, look to accelerate the build with Textiles and Gramophone, or control the speed with Fort.

The Heal archetype has a very strong early to mid game core. It boasts solid scaling, but has the potential to be pushed over the top alongside Textiles, Luxury Tents, and enough upgrades (for Cooldown Reduction).

Stacking Health is always a viable option as long as it's presented to you within a reasonable timeframe. Whether it's Lemonade Stand + Keychain or the classic Pawn Shop + Double Whammy, either pathway leads to insane bulk and high one-shot potential.

Build Guide:

• Hammer Exodia Pygmalien

Dooltron was already one of Dooley's best, but happened to receive a considerable buff to its Shielding capabilities. There are a wide variety of efficient engines, often taking advantage of contextual enchanted setups (with lots of Small items), or Cooldown reduced Haste spam with items like Monitor Lizard.

Build Guide:

• Companion Core Dooley

Critical Core has an incredibly fast loop that can quickly get out of hand once the pieces are in place. It's all about ensuring you have proper Damage scaling, usually via a combination of skills and/or enchantments (ex Improvised Weaponry, Shatter).

Launcher Core has an absurdly high ceiling when it comes to speed, allowing it to effeciently Charge powerful scaling items like Nitrogen Hammer, while making up for their otherwise slow startup. Launch Pad can carry the build on its own, but with enough Cooldown Reduction, anything is possible!

Build Guide:

• Launcher Core Dooley

Poppy Field is a powerful payoff to an aggressive Weapon setup, providing incredible speed and scaling. It fares well against the ever-present Shield builds, while outpacing Burn, unlike the Self-Poison archetype. Goop Flail, Plague Glaive, and Test Subject Alpha are all viable variants.

Magnus' Femur makes its return with the recent buffs to Sands of Time (despite its own Damage scaling being slightly nerfed). It's the tried and true mass Slow archetype that packs high scaling, sustain, and well-rounded late game potential.

Build Guide:

• Magnus' Femur Mak

Recycling Bin + Vial Launcher lets you roll the dice and dish out the Damage extremely quickly thanks to Haste and Cooldown Reduction. Mak can also play a variety of Potion setups utilizing Potion Distillery and/or Boiling Flask alongside some juicy Reagent creations.

Build Guide:

• Potion Mak

Lightning Rod + Weather Machine is a powerful duo, as long as you can solve the Damage scaling. The addition of Cloud Tanker makes this far easier than before, but if you manage to get Slow and Steady, feel free to lean into more Slow support with Fire Hose.

Build Guide:

• Lightning Rod Stelle

Space Laser takes advantage of the incredibly spammy Charge potential from items like Altimeter and Observatory. Its supporting items are all about creating the fastest loop possible, and the recent buffs have made it faster than ever before!

Build Guide:

• Space Laser Stelle

Stelle's Workshop + Angle Grinder Drone is an incredibly fast Charge loop that takes advantage of Spotlight for Damage scaling. It's a similar shell to the classic Molten Ball Blaster, but instead leans more into a combo setup with a much higher ceiling.

Note: Jules builds have extremely contextual positioning due to the RNG placement of the Stoves and Coolers. Your mileage may vary.

Jules has countless viable Burn setups. There's the Food spam builds like Grill, Feast, and Gingerbread House, along with the Slow Burn core of Hot Box and Imu. Honestly, there's several more beyond that, allowing plenty of room to work with what you get.

Build Guide:

• Burn Jules

Note: Jules builds have extremely contextual positioning due to the RNG placement of the Stoves and Coolers. Your mileage may vary.

Giant Lollipop hits hard and fast, putting out absurd numbers with the likes of Dishwasher. Its Quest is easy to fulfill with Excellent Vintage and fast Food items, then once online it becomes a massive threat. Cutting Board and Bubblegum Floor are other solid alternatives.

Note: Jules builds have extremely contextual positioning due to the RNG placement of the Stoves and Coolers. Your mileage may vary.

Freeze can be oppressively strong, but does have a bit of whacky positioning issues depending on where the Coolers spawn. However, once assembled, it can effectively lock down opposing boards while dealing a ton of Damage. Pastry Cart and Blender are both great choices.
