Baba is a spirit-stealing tank who rides a mechanical bench through Manhattan, and this setup turns her into a fast-farming bruiser that scales into both high spirit damage and heavy survivability. The plan is simple: grab early stamina and sustain, convert a Golden Goose Egg into permanent stats, then stack cooldown reduction, lifesteal, and spirit power so Threadsap and Granny Long Legs are almost always up.
Quick answer: Open the shop with B, go to the Build Browser, switch to the Public tab, and search the tag swole or build ID 876373. Select “SwoleBenji YT FAST FARM Mega DPS Hyper Mobile Tank,” favorite it, and enable Quick Buy.

Baba item path and buy order
The sequence starts with the Golden Goose Egg, then layers in charges, stamina, and health before shifting into sustain, mobility, and weapon damage. Quick Buy follows this order automatically, but knowing what comes next helps you decide when to save souls for a spike.
| Order | Item | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Golden Goose Egg | 800 |
| 2 | Extra Charge | 800 |
| 3 | Extra Stamina | 800 |
| 4 | Extra Health | 800 |
| 5 | Healing Rite | 800 |
| 6 | Mystic Regeneration | 800 |
| 7 | Radiant Regeneration | 3,200 |
| 8 | Extra Spirit | 800 |
| 9 | Healing Booster | 1,600 |
| 10 | Enduring Speed | 1,600 |
| 11 | Fortitude | 2,400 |
| 12 | Stamina Mastery | 2,400 |
| 13 | Healing Tempo | 4,800 |
| 14 | Split Shot | 1,600 |
| 15 | Vampiric Burst | 6,400 |
| 16 | Ricochet | 6,400 |
| 17 | Surge of Power | 3,200 |
| 18 | Rapid Recharge | 2,400 |
| 19 | Quicksilver Reload | 1,600 |
| 20 | Mercurial Magnum | 6,400 |
| 21 | Boundless Spirit | 6,400 |
| 22 | Transcendent Cooldown | 6,400 |
| 23 | Colossus | 6,400 |
| 24 | Juggernaut | 4,800 |
Buy the Golden Goose Egg first and hold onto it until at least the 30-minute mark. Hatching it late converts the egg into Tier 3 permanent stat buffs, which is why it leads the order even though you don’t feel it right away.
Split Shot, Ricochet, and Mercurial Magnum push Baba’s weapon into multi-target territory, which matters because her bullets carry bonus spirit damage while she holds stolen Spirit. Rapid Recharge, Surge of Power, Boundless Spirit, and Transcendent Cooldown keep her abilities firing, while Colossus and Juggernaut shore up the tank side late.
Baba’s abilities and how they combo
Baba’s weapon, the Bunko-Night Special, adds bonus spirit damage to every bullet while she is holding Spirit stolen by Threadsap. That single link is what drives the whole build, so landing Threadsap before a trade is the priority in every fight.
Threadsap
Threadsap weaves a line that follows your crosshair before bursting along its path, dealing spirit damage and leeching Spirit Power from anyone it hits. Fully upgraded, it pulls targets toward Baba and interrupts their momentum, which sets up your melee and ultimate.
Granny Long Legs
The bench extends its legs for bonus move speed and higher jumps, plus resistances. Light melee kicks enemies back, and a heavy melee ground stomp hits an area for a knock-up. At max rank the stomp comes with melee lifesteal, and it climbs stairs and slopes smoothly, making it both your engage and escape.
Baba’s Brew
Baba’s Brew cycles between three effects, and you can press aim to pause on the one you want before throwing it:
- Soothing grants a shield and heal barrier to allies.
- Silencing silences targets, useful for shutting down an enemy ultimate.
- Scalding applies damage over time and lowers spirit resistance.
Throwing Scalding Brew onto a Threadsap target stacks the stolen Spirit and the resistance cut on the same enemy, which is where most of your burst comes from.
Feed The Birds
Her ultimate sends a pigeon barrage at enemies ahead of you, building up a slow while you channel. At the end, the targets suffer heavy spirit damage and become pigeons. A longer channel increases the damage and hex duration, so use the full cast when enemies are grouped and release sooner to finish off a runner.
Her passive scales Spirit Resist based on her Spirit Power and on stacking Sinner and buff bonuses, which is part of why this build leans into spirit items and farming Sinner’s Sacrifices.
Fast farming: lane and jungle routine
Early on, focus on last hits and denies while landing Threadsap before you trade so your bullets carry the bonus spirit damage. Once you have a point in Granny Long Legs, you can rotate between camps and waves without losing tempo.
Jungle camps spawn on a schedule, so plan rotations around these windows:
| Camp | Spawn timer |
|---|---|
| Small camps | 2:00–4:00 |
| Medium camps | 5:00 |
| Sinner’s Sacrifices | 8:00 |
The heavy ground stomp from Granny Long Legs lets you double-farm. Positioning Baba between two adjacent camps, such as the dual Sinner’s Sacrifice spots, means one stomp can start clearing both at once. That AoE clear is the backbone of the fast-farm plan, letting you hit your item spikes well ahead of schedule.
From there the pattern stays the same into the mid and late game: land Threadsap, stack Scalding Brew on the same target, use Granny Long Legs to reposition instead of blowing it on a single slam, and hold Feed The Birds for clustered fights. Keep Quick Buy enabled and you will pick up each item the moment you can afford it, which keeps your souls working while you farm.
