Max HP is damage, so every heart you buy hits harder. Our tier list puts Chunky in B tier: Max HP scaling on a huge pool. Relies on finding HP-to-damage conversions.

The stat line

• Max HP modifications are increased by 25%
• +1% Damage for every 3 Max HP you have
• +3 HP recovered from consumables
• -100% Life Steal
• HP Regeneration modifications are reduced by 50%
• Dodge modifications are reduced by 50%
• Speed modifications are reduced by 100%

Unlock: Die for the first time. Winning a run unlocks Potato Thrower.

How the run plays

+1% Damage per 3 Max HP and +25% Max HP modifications make Chunky the simplest scaling character in the game: buy HP, get tougher and deadlier at once. Life Steal is gone (-100%), so sustain comes from regen and consumables, which heal +3 extra. Heavy melee weapons that scale with Max HP fit best.

Weapons

Chunky fits the Heavy or Blunt classes best. Start with Cacti Club, Rock, Spiky Shield, Spoon and hold six weapons of one class for the set bonus; the weapons list shows everything in the Heavy class with per-tier damage.

What to buy, what to skip

Max HP everywhere, HP Regen, consumable-tag items. Skip Life Steal.

The shop favours Max HP, Luck, Consumable items for Chunky, so expect to see these often: Weird Ghost, Alien Worm, Bag, Cake, Jelly, Lemonade, Defective Steroids, Weird Food.

The mistake that ends runs

Buying life steal items by reflex; they do nothing here.
