Introduction to the Entrepreneur Build
Welcome to the Entrepreneur Build Guide, focused on maximizing early harvesting and scaling into multiple damage sources.
This build revolves around using Shurikens for efficient wave clear while heavily investing in harvesting to snowball your economy. As the run progresses, you convert that economy into diverse damage sources and strong survivability.
Early Game Strategy
The run begins with the Shuriken, which provides strong early wave clear and excellent synergy with farming and scaling items.
Core Focus
- Stack Harvesting as early as possible
- Take advantage of Entrepreneur’s increased harvesting scaling
- Build a strong economic foundation
Shop Priorities (First 3 Waves)
- Buy Shurikens
- Look for Harvesting items
- Do not limit rerolls (Entrepreneur doesn’t retain materials efficiently)
Key Early Items
- Wheelbarrow
- Peaceful Bee
- Little Frog
- Fertilizer
Stat Priority
- Harvesting (highest priority)
- If unavailable:
- Melee Damage
- Attack Speed
- Critical Chance (synergizes with Shuriken bounces)
Strategy
- Focus entirely on economy scaling
- Use Shurikens to maintain wave control
- Build momentum for mid-game snowball
Mid Game Strategy
At this stage, your harvesting should already be scaling aggressively.
Key Items
- Tractor
- Crown
- Hunting Trophy
- Recycling Machine
- Rip and Tear
Item Synergies
- Rip and Tear – Improves wave clear and material gain
- Tractor – Massive harvesting boost within a few waves
- Hunting Trophy – Strong synergy with crit + Shuriken bounces (up to 5 hits)
- Recycling Machine – Essential for late-game material generation
- Crown – +8% harvesting scaling per wave (core snowball item)
Strategy
- Maintain harvesting growth while improving combat
- Leverage crit + bounce mechanics for extra farming
- Prepare for late-game transition where harvesting loses value
Late Game Strategy
As harvesting becomes less effective (especially after wave 20), the focus shifts toward damage diversification and survivability.
Key Items
- Pocket Factory
- Every Turret
- Landmines
- Extra Stomach
- Explosive Shells
- Bloody Hand
- Baby Elephant
- Cyberball
Strategy
- Convert economy into multiple damage sources:
- Engineering (turrets/mines)
- Luck-based damage (Cyberball, Baby Elephant)
- Build survivability alongside damage
- Maintain high wave clear through layered damage systems
At this point, the build becomes extremely powerful, capable of pushing wave 40+ with ease.
Strengths of the Build
- Exceptional Snowball Potential
- Multiple Damage Sources
- High Economy Throughout the Run
- Strong Late Game Scaling
Weaknesses to Watch Out For
- Relies on Early Harvesting Setup
- Requires Transition After Wave 20
- Can Be Weak if Economy Is Mismanaged
Conclusion
The Entrepreneur build is one of the strongest scaling strategies in Brotato.
By focusing on early harvesting and transitioning into multiple damage sources, you can create a powerful and consistent run that scales far into the late game.
With proper execution, this build offers one of the highest ceilings in the game, combining economy, damage, and survivability into a highly effective setup.
