Rating
A-tier dual-function Frenzy attacker with item economy reshaping. Toaster attacks with x2 Frenzy at 3 Attack, Counter 3 — 6 effective damage every 3 turns, which is one of the faster damage outputs among Clunkmasters companions. Simultaneously, while Toaster is on the field, every Item card in your hand gains the Consume keyword (single-use, destroyed after use).
Consume is a double-edged effect. Items that were repeatable become one-time uses while Toaster is active. The cost: strong items you wanted to use multiple times are now destroyed on first use. The benefit: Consume triggers interact with Consume-payoff mechanics — Kreggo gains +1 Attack each time a card is destroyed (including items destroyed by Consume), and certain charms trigger bonuses when Consume fires. In the right build, Toaster's passive converts every item use into a Kreggo scaling event.
How to Use
Mid-row for Toaster — 9 HP is solid, Counter 3 frequency means she contributes consistent 6-damage activations. Position her to last multiple fight turns, both for sustained Frenzy damage and to keep the Consume passive running throughout.
Kreggo + Toaster is the core combo. Each item Consumed by Toaster's passive triggers Kreggo's +1 Attack gain. A fight where you use 4 items = Kreggo gains +4 permanent Attack from Consume destruction events alone. Over multiple fights, Kreggo scales dramatically from Toaster's passive making every item use a destroy event.
Items you want to use multiple times should be played before deploying Toaster, or in fights where Toaster is not active. Time Toaster deployment to fights where item expenditure is acceptable — don't deploy her when you need to cycle a heal item multiple times.
Advanced Techniques
Toaster + Kreggo scaling chain. Kreggo scales from card destruction; Toaster makes every item use a destruction event. Use 5 items in a fight with Toaster active: Kreggo gains +5 Attack that fight. After 3 fights of heavy item usage, Kreggo's Attack can be 15+ from Toaster-enabled Consume events alone.
Dimona + Toaster item hits. Dimona applies Demonize each time an enemy is hit by an item. Toaster's x2 Frenzy applies to her own attacks (not items), but the combination in the same deck means Dimona demonizes from item use AND Toaster deals double damage per counter hit — two independent scaling vectors.
Consume charm payoffs. Certain charms trigger effects when Consume fires. Toaster passively makes all item consumption trigger those charms, turning every item play into a charm payoff event without any extra setup.
Good Synergy Cards & Charms
- Kreggo — every item Consumed by Toaster's passive triggers Kreggo's +1 Attack; Kreggo scales fastest in Toaster-active fights with high item usage
- Needle — Junk destruction draws fresh cards including items; replenishing item supply offsets Toaster consuming them one-time
- Dimona — item hits apply Demonize; Toaster's Consume makes items fire once for Demonize application before being destroyed
- Attack charms on Toaster — x2 Frenzy means each +1 Attack charm adds +2 effective damage per activation; highly efficient charm investment
