Bacon Bits

#Overview

Bacon Bits makes every hit on an elite or a boss stronger. Each level adds 0.12 elite damage, so the damage multiplier against elites and bosses goes from ×1.12 at level 1 to ×1.60 at level 5. Ordinary pests take normal damage.

It is the catalyst for Inferno Basket, the evolution of Deep Fryer.

#How it works

When a hit lands on a boss or an enemy flagged as elite, its damage is multiplied by Tibo's elite damage stat and by the weapon's own elite multiplier, before the crit roll.^[1] The stat is a plain 1 + total, with no diminishing returns or cap (see Stats). The only other source is the Boss Buster item (+0.15).

Inferno Basket has its own elite multiplier of 2 (“Double damage to elites and bosses.”). The two multiply, so with Bacon Bits at level 5 an Inferno Basket hit on an elite or boss deals 2 × 1.6 = 3.2 times its normal damage.

#Tips

• Boss HP is multiplied ×3 from 16:00, ×4 from 18:00 and ×6 from 20:00 (see Bosses). Bacon Bits is worth considering if your build struggles with those late bosses.
• Because it multiplies before crits, it stacks with Hot Sauce and Sour Cream rather than competing with them.
• Every elite drops a chest, and chests are the only way to evolve (see Chests).

#Levels

Totals are added to Tibo's stat sum. How each stat turns into a multiplier (caps and diminishing returns) is on Stats.
