Hello spirits, new and old, to another Explain The Build article where we highlight a variety of potential combinations and builds that you can achieve within our game! Hopefully, this will give you some inspiration for what you could achieve in creating your own builds going forward.
The main element of this build involves the Cinnabar Pills upgraded to level 3 which provide health, though it still works, but not as strongly, if at level 1 or 2, but also a trinket that revives the first destroyed accessory to full health, which is likely going to be the Cinnabar Pills, and then finally the dragon whiskers which improves the power of any weapon that attacks.

Head on over to our YouTube channel, where we have put together a quick video with Donald explaining the BeefyKong build.
At this moment in the run, the build is at 8 wins with 5 lives left, which means things are going very well for us in our run!
The first element, which I mentioned before, is the Cinnabar Pills, these provide health to adjacent attack tiles by damaging themselves whenever something next to them takes damage. This obviously has a limit, as it will eventually destroy itself, but thanks to our trinket, we have a high chance of keeping this going, as the trinket revives the first destroyed accessory to full health.
From there, we ensured that we got some value from the pills by placing multiple taunts adjacent to them to guarantee some triggers, even if it's only a couple of hits in the case of de-taunt. Finally, the last main component of the build is the Dragon Whiskers, which increases the attack of adjacent attack tiles by two each time they attack, meaning we can keep up to some degree against any build that might be trying to do the same thing as us and build for health.
In practice, there are many additional ways to further augment health gains, especially with the Cinnabar Pills. You could, as an example, use the Pilgrim’s Plume Cap. This also gives adjacent attack tiles health whenever something is damaged next to it, which does proc off the cinnabar pills, damaging themselves as well.
