Hello spirits, new and old! We have another Explain The Build article coming fresh off the press, ready for you all! But, what is “Explain The Build”? You may be asking yourself. It's a series of articles showcasing combinations and interactions of different tiles you can achieve or inspire in your next run!
Visit our YouTube channel, where we have put together a quick video with Donald explaining his FatMouse build.
This build revolves around destroyed effects and consumables, creating a large HP mouse to protect our board.
So, the first, and one of the most essential accessories on our board is the harbinger Toy. This gives taunts to adjacent tiles with destroyed effects, one of which, in this case, is the pearlcracker, which is what we will be using to enable the creation of our mouse with a large HP pool.
Pearlcracker, on death, deals one damage to all tiles on both our own and our opponents' board, which at a glance, is not a lot; however, that is precisely why we are using it, because the mouse only has 2 health, which means when it takes the one damage from the pearlcracker, its hp is halved.
Why is that important, though? Well, most consumables trigger when an adjacent tile has its HP reduced to half health, meaning that once the mouse gets hit by the pearlcracker, all of the consumables we have lined up next to it get triggered and create the powerhouse mouse tank. ( a set of three words i never expected to say!)
Once we have this tanky mouse, not only does it have some reflect that will weaken or destroy those that attack it, but it will give time for our weapons and hero to destroy our opponent.
One thing to note, though, is that there are ways for players to remove taunt from opponent tiles, or they may actually get powered up through the damage taken from our Pearlcracker.
Finally, there are ways to make this build stronger by adding more consumables, using clever accessories, or utilising trinkets such as double delight, which triggers consumables an additional time.
Do you have any builds or combinations that you have found to be either a lot of fun or powerful as you play?
