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 shouldchoose the Lucky characterand onlyget the Slingshot weaponandupgrade it as much as you can. Lucky Slingshot is a build thatrelies entirely on luck. Usually, luck isn’t exactly a power stat, but in this build, it becomesextremely powerful.
Also, it is very fun to play becauseyou’ll find extremely rare and legendary items.
In terms of stats,Shoulders,Nose, andReflexesshould be preferred in the early game, followed byNose,Shoulder, andTricepsin the late game as the game progresses. Get all the items you see that provide luck such asShady Potion,Propeller Hat, andLost Duckas early-game items.
What makes this build really shine are theCyberball,Baby Elephant,andRicochetitems. 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.

Baby with a Beard
Shoulders
Triceps
Since your luck will be extremely high, you’ll eventually find legendary items likeGrind’s Magical LeafandSifd’s Relic.
Sifd’s Relic almost turns Brotato into an idle gameusing this build, since it’ll give you extra kills every time you eliminate an enemy. It’ll also automatically pick up materials for every enemy killed.
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, butyou’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 toclear large groups of enemies, and thanks to the Baby with a Beard item, you can easily clear small aliens during boss fights.
If you choose optional items likeCyberballorBaby Elephant, you will be able to clear small minions much faster.
Heart
In addition toCoffee,Gentle Alien,Gummy Berserker,Scope, andSmall Magazineas early game items, look for items that provide health regeneration or base health for improved survivability.
Never skip survivability in any build, including this one, and always ensure you have a fewPlant,Tree, orMushroom itemsto help you survive until wave seven.
12 Stick Build (Easy)
For this build, you need touse 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.
It’s also an extremelycommonandcheap weapon, so you can re-roll it extremely easily to accumulate more Sticks.

Reflexes
If you use a few Luck-based items, you’ll be able to find useful items such asSad TomatoandCapemore easily. It is enough to keepLuckin the range of40-50.
In this build,it is good for you to have a high attack speed, so you can clear crowded aliens much faster.
12 Crossbow Build (Easy)
Since 12 Crossbows should be used in this build,the Multitasker character is preferred. The thing about the Crossbow is thatit passes through the enemy when it hits critical damage, allowing you to stack damage across multiple enemies.
Crossbow x12
As you hit critical damage, the arrows you shoot will pass through more aliens, so you may clear the wave quickly and easily. You canincrease your pierce amountwith an item likeBandana, which will help you melt bosses extremely quickly.
For this build to work, try tofind as many Crossbows as you canby re-rolling and just strive for attack speed and critical damage.
One Ghost Axe Build (Hard)
One Ghost Axe isextremely difficult to buildbutincredibly 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.
For this build, you need toselect the One-Armed character, which provides an additional 200 percent attack speed and increases damage by 100 percent.
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 increasesto make this build work.
If you haven’t played a build like this before, it is very important topay attention to survivability statssuch asmax HP,HP regeneration,life steal, andarmor.
