Everything is Crab Reroll Picky Build Guide

A route for reroll-heavy unlock farming, build fishing, and learning how mutagen spending changes level-up decisions.

Route purpose

A route for reroll-heavy unlock farming, build fishing, and learning how mutagen spending changes level-up decisions.

Every build can fail if it ignores food economy, movement, or boss timing. Use the linked evolution pages to patch the missing part.

Opening checks

  1. Before the first boss, have at least two of food, movement, and mistake budget.
  2. If the core pieces do not appear, stay alive with a conservative shell.
  3. Spend mutagen on the current bottleneck before chasing perfect build identity.

Route phases

  1. Pick one goal before spending mutagen: a core evolution, an achievement trigger, or survival repair.
  2. Reroll cheap early, but do not spend the whole budget before the build identity appears.
  3. Simple gives more mutagen but fewer choices, so treat it as a planning challenge rather than pure power.
  4. Patient pairs well when skipping bad level-ups is better than accepting a route-breaking card.

Pivot rules

  1. If two level-ups in a row miss the core pieces, pivot toward the stat line already showing up.
  2. When food collapses, pause damage greed and repair progress, storage, or safe foraging.
  3. When boss damage lags, upgrade one main attack instead of spreading mutagen across every button.

Stat priority

  • Mutagen control
  • Food safety
  • Senses
  • Flexibility

Common mistakes

  1. Rerolling only for rarity.
  2. Ignoring good common cards that solve the run.
  3. Fishing for a perfect build in a run that is already dying.

Evidence and verification

The official store and launch announcement establish the game and release context, but they do not verify this entry's item-specific values. For exact effects, rarity, unlocks, and counters, use the current in-game card, Codex, or achievement screen.

Forager

Pair it first with Fungoid and Saliva and test that relationship in the Beginner First Clear route. The route still needs food when safe drops do not appear.

Cheek Pouch

Pair it first with Prehensile Tail and Forager and test that relationship in the Beginner First Clear route. It needs reliable food pickups before storage has value.

Picky

Farm naturally during goal runs; do not spend rerolls that make the current run worse.
