The BazaarThe Bazaar Pygmalien Guide and Overview

Lore

From The Bazaar site:

"A shrewd Jaballian who dreams of life as a tycoon, Pygmalien leverages his knowledge of investments, economics, and income generation to get a leg up in The Bazaar...at his opponent's expense, of course."

Playstyle

While Pygmalien does have ways to play aggressively (he can literally beat you up with a Yo-Yo), he's typically seen as the slow and steady hero.

This is because of his economic capabilities that allow him to scale his income to levels the other heroes can't get anywhere close to.

If you manage Pyg's finances correctly, he can become virtually invincible and even win battles without a single weapon - he can simply outlast his enemies and let the timed sandstorm kill them.

How to Unlock Pygmalien

Pygmalien must be unlocked using Gems. If you get a Founder's Pack you'll have enough Gems to buy both him and Dooley.

If not, you'll need to unlock Pygmalien by earning Gems from the ranked ladder.

Pygmalien has a wide range of Tools and Properties that can generate Gold and scale off of it.

If you didn't know, out-of-combat effects like the Cash Register's, "At the start of each day, get 3 Spare Change." can be triggered from inside your Stash.

So if you're playing Pygmalien right, you'll have to constantly pay attention to your inventory and makes sure no slot goes to waste.

Once you have your economic engine running, you can hit more upgrades more often, and make massive investments that would bankrupt other heroes.

Item Examples

Cash Register

Landscraper

Bootstraps

While other heroes have access to stacking effects, Pygmalien has the most.

This works in tandem with his economic strength since buying and selling items are often the triggers for his stacks.

For example, Beast of Burden gains more Damage every time you buy an item.

Similarly, you have the Lemonade Stand which gains Max Health every time you sell a Small item.

So the longer a run goes, the more unstoppable Pygmalien becomes!

Example Items

Beast of Burden

Lemonade Stand

Dog

If you like to play defensively, Pygmalien has the most access to Shields, Healing, and Health Stacking options.

In fact, you'll often see Pygs that opt for builds that have barely any offensive capabilities at all.

After 30 seconds during a fight, the sandstorm kicks in and does damage to you and your enemy, so if you're tankier, you can defeat them by outlasting them.

With items like Spiky Shield, which deals Damage equal to your Shield, you can often turn your defense into offense with a single swing that one-shots your opponent.

Example Items

Spiky Shield

Bushel
