Ability & Special Effects
ABILITY — BASIC: Mob Mentality Gains 2% Attack Power and Max HP for every additional Regular Dude on your Roster .
How to Use Basic Dude
Regular Dude is the game's starter and the Mob Mentality engine — he gains 2% Attack Power and Max HP for every other Regular Dude on your roster, so the whole squad scales together. Our Early Game build runs two to three of them for the first 15-20 waves: they are cheap, they win early fights, and they fall off hard once Relics matter. Never spend Relics on them (they have none), and transition them out one by one as your economy buys real Dudes.
