General Brotato Tips
If you are trying for your first win here are some tips:
1. Try a ranged character like the ranger.
2. Play on the beta branch under steam preferences. The boss is easier and less buggy. (it may be updated by the time you read this)
3. Get lots of defenses so you can make mistakes. HP, Armor, Healing.
4. When shopping don’t buy small gains unless they are cheap, stick to your plan. Rare weapons are the best value and power increase.
5. Focus on Luck early. Luck on turn 1-5 will make your run much stronger. I keep taking any luck I see until about floor 10 and then focus on weapons and defense.
6. Lifesteal is good with very fast weapons like SMG, Minigun, Flamethrower.
This is true to a lesser extent for AOE weapons but they often only hit 1-2 enemies.7. The more HP you have the better regeneration is. Regen scales based on your max hp.
8. Whatever items you have show up more often in the store. If you are holding a wrench, more wrenches will show up in your store. If you want more wrenches then hold 6 wrenches. Be careful not to hurt yourself by purchasing the wrong things.
9. Some weak stats:
Range – slows down melee weapon attack speed, ranged weapons have plenty of range already.
Harvesting – generally never worth it. If you take it on turn 1-3 it certainly pays for itself, but after that more DPS will earn you more credits and more luck you make your shop better.
Engineering – not worth dabbling in. Don’t get tempted. You need to go all in or stay focused on your main build and survival.
Elemental – super strong if you go all in, but don’t get distracted. If you find an early flamethrower on any char it is reasonable to swap to elemental build if it is early enough.

Brotato Ranger
The best way to build the Brotato ranger
Weapons: SMG/Minigun with a little bit of Shredder/Rocket Launcher for AOE if you find a good one.
SMG and minigun scale very well with +ranged damage since they attack 10+ times a second. Ranger gets +50% on ranged damage so this is a natural synergy.
AOE weapons effectively attack many times a second also because they can AOE and hit 10 enemies. But often they only hit 2, so don’t overdo it. AOE weapons are also worse on the final boss, and he is hard.
Lifesteal is great on this build because it procs for every hit. 10 lifesteal means 10% chance to heal for 1 damage on hit. So if you attack 10 times a second with 6 weapons that means you heal for 6 HP per second. This is better than using a medical gun.
You also need tons of HP and armor. You will get hit by stray bullets or chargers and this means you can avoid the mistake. Also the boss does tons of damage so you want to have 50-70 HP and 5-10 armor when fighting the boss. You also want 20+ speed and some healing, it could be regen but ideally it is lifesteal since you will be shooting the boss the whole time.
BrotatoRange is not that important on this build. You will find scopes that give range and damage, those are great, but otherwise feel free to take -range if you need to for some other benefit.
Pierce an extra target is amazing also. +Damage on pierce is not important though. Pierce an extra target is less important for the boss fight which is really the hardest part of the game and what you should be building for.
For the first 5-10 levels take luck whenever you see it. Especially level 1-5, even if you are offered a small bonus to luck vs a medium bonus to something else. Luck is how you get rare miniguns and SMGs, it is very important. After level +50 luck or dungeon level 10 stop investing in luck and start getting weapons and HPs and +ranged damage.
There are 2 Brotato bosses:
Brotato Boss 1 – burning ground boss:
He puts red dots on the ground then they ignite 1 second later. I find these easier to dodge if I am not moving and just looking at the ground under my feat. They appear at regular intervals so pause movement when the interval is coming and be ready.
Phase 2 he does circles around the player. If you stop moving right before he does the circle you will be in the middle of it and be in no danger.
You are long range and high dps so hopefully you can just ignore the rest of the screen and focus on surviving.
Your lifesteal and regen should help you if you make a mistake. You can also turn on health bar above your head in the options menu so you don’t ever have to look away from your hero.
Brotato Boss 2 – Spinning Laser Boss
Phase 1 he spins a laser around himself. There is a gap in it you can stand in or you can just circle him at the same speed as the laser. Closer to him you will move around faster effecively.
Phase 2: He also shoots bullets in all directions slowly. Play a bit further away.
Focus 100% on dodging and staying alive and the boss bullets. Don’t worry about dealing damage, it will happen, you have enough range.
If you are ever injured continue to play defensively and heal. But you should always be focusing on staying alive.
Example Brotato Build
A picture of my first ranger win.
17 lifesteal meant I was healing about 10 per second vs the boss since all my guns were hitting him. This was great if I stumbled into his damage ability.
Attack speed on minigun was .06 meaning 17 attacks per second, for 13-26 damage depending on crit.
