Brotato: Best Builds (2024)

Brotato is a top-down alien horde-killing roguelike game where you play as a potato. In this title, it is extremely challenging to find a decent build that you can enjoy, especially if you are playing for the first time and have not beaten the game yet. If this is the case, you can try the builds we have prepared for you so that you can understand and learn the game better and start creating your own build.

In Brotato, the goal is to survive and clear the aliens as fast as possible, so our survivability and damage must be high. The weapons and items chosen in the builds have a huge impact on the course of the game, so it's important to choose the right one.

Lucky Slingshot Build (Easy)

In this build, you should choose the Lucky character and only get the Slingshot weapon and upgrade it as much as you can. Lucky Slingshot is a build that relies entirely on luck. Usually, luck isn't exactly a power stat, but in this build, it becomes extremely powerful.

In terms of stats, Shoulders, Nose, and Reflexes should be preferred in the early game, followed by Nose, Shoulder, and Triceps in the late game as the game progresses. Get all the items you see that provide luck such as Shady Potion, Propeller Hat, and Lost Duck as early-game items.

What makes this build really shine are the Cyberball, Baby Elephant, and Ricochet items. This is because Ricochet adds +1 bounce to the stones you throw, Cyberball deals random damage to another enemy every time you kill an alien, and Baby Elephant deals damage to a random enemy every time you pick up materials.

Weapon	Slingshot x6
Early Game Items	Vigilante Ring	Shady Potion	Propeller Hat	Lost Duck	Cyberball	Baby Elephant
Late Game Items	Panda	Ricochet	Lucky Charm	Exoskeleton	Baby with a Beard	Sifd's Relic
Early Game Stats	Shoulders	Nose	Reflexes
Late Game Stats	Nose	Shoulders	Triceps

Since your luck will be extremely high, you'll eventually find legendary items like Grind's Magical Leaf and Sifd's Relic.

12 Shotgun Build (Easy)

In this build, the Multitasker character allows you to use 12 Shotguns. In general, the build will be based on ranged damage, range, attack speed, and, of course, survivability. The build's damage is extremely high, which makes it great at clearing enemies, but you'll still need to dodge enemies often, especially in boss fights.

Compared to many other builds, it's an easy build to play for being able to clear large groups of enemies, and thanks to the Baby with a Beard item, you can easily clear small aliens during boss fights.

Weapon	Double Barrel Shotgun x12
Early Game Items	Coffee	Gentle Alien	Butterfly	Banner	Medal	Small Magazine
Late Game Items	Cape	Wheat	Poisonous Tonic	Wings	Baby with a Beard	Glass Cannon
Early Game Stats	Reflexes	Shoulders	Triceps
Late Game Stats	Reflexes	Shoulders	Heart

In addition to Coffee, Gentle Alien, Gummy Berserker, Scope, and Small Magazine as early game items, look for items that provide health regeneration or base health for improved survivability.

12 Stick Build (Easy)

For this build, you need to use the Multitasker character. The Stick is an extremely powerful weapon because, for every additional Stick you have, you get +4, +6, +8, and +10 (varies according to weapon level) extra damage.

Weapon	Stick x12
Early Game Items	Shady Potion	Gentle Alien	Cyclops Worm	Little Muscley Dude	Head Injury	Medal
Late Game Items	Vigilante Ring	Triangle of Power	Poisonous Tonic	Exoskeleton	Baby with a Beard	Glass Cannon
Early Game Stats	Forearms	Reflexes	Triceps
Late Game Stats	Forearms	Reflexes	Heart

If you use a few Luck-based items, you'll be able to find useful items such as Sad Tomato and Cape more easily. It is enough to keep Luck in the range of 40-50.

12 Crossbow Build (Easy)

Since 12 Crossbows should be used in this build, the Multitasker character is preferred. The thing about the Crossbow is that it passes through the enemy when it hits critical damage, allowing you to stack damage across multiple enemies.

Weapon	Crossbow x12
Early Game Items	Blindfold	Coffee	Sunglasses	Banner	Head Injury	Medal
Late Game Items	Hunting Trophy	Bandana	Poisonous Tonic	Exoskeleton	Cape	Night Goggles
Early Game Stats	Fingers	Reflexes	Eyes
Late Game Stats	Fingers	Reflexes	Heart

As you hit critical damage, the arrows you shoot will pass through more aliens, so you can clear the wave quickly and easily. You can increase your pierce amount with an item like Bandana, which will help you melt bosses extremely quickly.

One Ghost Axe Build (Hard)

One Ghost Axe is extremely difficult to build but incredibly powerful, capable of melting even the two bosses in wave 20 in 15 seconds.

With this weapon, the more aliens you kill, the more damage stats you gain, creating a snowball effect where your damage becomes very high as you progress to the late game.

Weapon	Ghost Axe x1
Early Game Items	Head Injury	Ritual	Injection	Butterfly	Acid	Goat Skull
Late Game Items	Vigilante Ring	Glass Cannon	Poisonous Tonic	Focus	Alien Magic	Sad Tomato
Early Game Stats	Triceps	Reflexes	Chest
Late Game Stats	Triceps	Reflexes	Chest

This build isn't very good at crowd control, but it's great at killing monsters in a single swing. You'll need a lot of attack speed increases to make this build work.
