The Bazaar – Quick Guide to Pyg

Pyg Guide

Starting Strategy:

• With PYG, always seek medium items at the start. They are all quite good and sell for 4 instead of 2.
• Priority for items: 1) ATM 2) Regal Blade 3) Bushel.

Skills:

• Arms Dealer is a guaranteed 10 wins.
• Left/right shield can be good with an early Bushel/Landscraper.

Pivot Items (in Order):

• Crook (find at tool vendor or silver vendor; if obtained before level 6, you ensure 10 wins).
• Dumbbells if before level 6, as the diamond version is powerful.
• Beehive (great for any build as it provides lots of triggers for Landscraper).
• Landscraper (less effective but can work well with the right skills).

Economy:

• ALWAYS take Loupe as it enables insane economy; also a great target for level up at 11.
• Try to get a Pawn Shop as it enables good economy and allows for huge HP.

Pawn Shop Tips:

• Place it on board and take the “10% max health” to maximize gains.
• In late game, you can sell your high-HP Pawn Shop and take the “25 HP for each gold” reward.
• The Billboard can be great but is expensive and takes up significant stash space.

“Perfect” Build Combinations:

• Crook works perfectly with:
• Beehive
• Yoyo
• Atlatl
• Can be complemented with:
  • Shadow Cloak
  • Knife Set
  • Medium Lifesteal
  • Model Ship (depending on your skills)
• Landscraper + Beehive:
• Look for skills that boost weapon damage and shield
• Place a Yoyo beside the bee
• Landscraper + double Yoyo is viable but VERY RARE

Early Encounters:

• Go for Mosquito if you have Regal Blade.
• Tent Mayor is an excellent encounter as it can give you a Silver Dog.
• Always attempt Boiler Room Brawler as the hammer item is powerful.
• The Crow (name unspecified) is good for economy but somewhat overrated.
