How players win with Baby Community consensus

No level-up stats, so all stats come from the shop; Sticks are the standard choice because base damage grows with each Stick held, and survivability needs Armor, Dodge and Max HP. XP Gain items and a broad mixed melee loadout are alternatives.

Stats: Armor, Dodge, Max HP, Life Steal, Attack Speed. Weapon classes: Primitive.

Summarised in our own words on 13 November 2026; check the patch date of each source against PC 1.2.

Weapons Baby boosts most Computed from rules

Baby: ordered by how much Baby's modifiers raise each weapon's damage compared with a character without modifiers, then by damage per second; weapons Baby doesn't boost fall back to raw DPS. Reference profile: Baby's own stats plus 20 points bought in the weapon's main scaling stat, both multiplied by Baby's modifiers; one weapon, its highest tier, no items, single target, every projectile hits. 89 of 95 equippable weapons scale with a stat Baby can raise.

What the modifiers change Computed from rules

Baby has no stat multiplier, so the weapon decides the stat. At the reference profile the highest single-target damage comes from Sickle IV (50 DPS).

Baby has no stat multiplier, conversion or class bonus. Pick weapons by the stat they scale with and buy that stat.

Assumptions and method

  • Damage per hit = round(trunc(base + Σ stat × scaling) × (1 + %Damage/100 + class %Damage/100)); crits average in as chance × round(hit × multiplier). Formulas are datamined from the game code; weapon numbers come from the game-file tables.
  • Cooldown is the tooltip value, which includes the attack animation. Reload weapons average the long cooldown over its shot count. Attack Speed divides the tooltip, an approximation: the game divides only the cooldown frames.
  • Not modelled: pierce, bounce, explosion splash, knockback, on-hit and kill-count effects, structures, and how often the weapon actually reaches enemies. Multi-projectile weapons assume every projectile hits the same target, which favours shotguns.
