Build Strategy

Tree Hugging Stick

The Cryptid gains regeneration and economy for keeping trees alive. Stick is the best weapon because it has high single-hit damage, reducing the chance of accidentally hitting/killing trees (unlike Claws). You want to dodge, stack HP, and let trees accumulate for massive regen.

Claws offer dodge synergy but attack too fast and often break trees accidentally.
