Builds - Gimmicks

**How To Add Builds**If you want to add a build, feel free to click the edit button or add it to the comments section. Please, try not to add builds similar to ones that are already on the page. If you see one that is similar to your idea, add yours under "Variations." For builds added to the page, please include the following information in the following order to ensure players get the most out of your build:
**Build Name**
***"A Slogan: a nice phrase that fits in and adds a touch (optional)"***
* **Petals Used:** Sate which petals the build requires. If there is a specific order, separate petals with "/" (example iris/dandelion/rose)
* **How it Works:** State what makes your build effective as well as what strategy you'll need to ensure success with it
* **Strengths:**Most builds specialize and have strengths against certain mobs, situations or other builds.
* **Weaknesses:** No build is strong everywhere, state the weaknesses of the build
* **How to Get:** State how to get the build. Which mobs/resources should you attack to get the necessary petals?
* **Variations:** If there are any variations to the build, put them here (usually it's swapping one or two petals for another).
* **Tip:** You can add a tip for other people to give them some additional information (optional).

***Note**: Please don't put petal or mob suggestions here. Instead go to their respective pages and post it in the comments section there or go to blog posts. Alternatively, you can go to the official florr.io subreddit and post suggestions there.*
***Note**: Please do not post joke builds here. Please post them at the Joke Builds page.*
***Note**: These builds may vary in effectiveness. These builds should just be used as guides. The best build is the one that matches your play style.*

 Gimmicks

These are the florrs that don't really fit into any of the other categories. They tend to be wacky and weird, using lesser-appreciated petals yet still being solid builds and definitely more than jokes. Some of these just require too many petals that are too rare to get in most games.

### **Best Build**

**"Leading you to victory!"**

* **Petals Used:** 4 legendary stingers or 4 heaviest, 3 legendary eggs, and 1 epic rose. Order: legendary stinger, legendary egg, legendary stinger, legendary egg, etc. Put your rose in between the first stinger and the last stinger. FILL YOUR INVENTORY WITH ROSES IN CASE SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS. this will save you.
* **How it works:** Your eggs keep any enemies away from you, and with the rose and stingers you can go and kill whatever you want.
* **Strengths:** Everything(sorta)
* **Weaknesses:** It's very hard to get, and Quick-Rippers can be dangerous if they attack from the side with eggs
* **How to get:** Farm hornets (for legendary stinger), ant hills (for ant eggs), mega beetles (for beetle eggs), and unusual ladybugs (for epic rose). It will take a while.
* **Variations:** Replace legendary stingers with normal stingers and heaviest, and replace legendary eggs with normal eggs. This build isn't as good but its still ok.

### **The Beehive**

***"Don't get fooled, hornets come out of this..."***

* **Petals Used -** Stinger/Honeycomb/Egg(Any)/Honeycomb/Honeycomb/Egg(Any)/Honeycomb/Stinger
* **How it works -** The Stingers and Eggs are your main attack, and the Honeycomb acts as defence, slowing down players and bugs.
* **Strengths & Weaknesses -** Great for fending off attacking players and bugs, not so great at fighting Hornets
* **How to get -** The Honeycomb and Stingers are fairly easy to get, just farm Bees, the Eggs however are more difficult, take out ant queens or giant beetles.
* **Variations -** Swap out the Stingers for Missiles, and change the Egg type around

### **The Indestructible Pacifist Build**

***"He's hard to kill, slows you down, and is just plain annoying. Maybe just leave him alone."***

* **Petals used**: Rose(Rare or epic) x 5 and web (legendary or regular)
* **How it works:** The roses make you almost impossible to kill and the webs slow down everyone. People can get annoyed but since being unable to kill you, will just leave you alone. You can tank hits of almost any kind, but make sure the damage you take isn't insta kill.
* **Strengths:** Staying alive and melee things. Also good for running away from others.
* **Weaknesses:** Annoys others so they might team on you in which you can die. Also not as effective against swarms of anything melee. Ant nests you can farm, but be careful. Also be wary of Missile/Dandelion, as they can hit you.
* **How to get**: Farming spiders and Yellow ladybugs.
* **Variations:** You may replace webs with any ranged thing you want, but if it does damage, you aren't necessarily a pacifist. For example, replacing the webs with peas will prevent you from being pacifist. Another option is to use honeys, as they slow down enemies that can get past your webs, making it even harder to kill you. Another option is bubble if you need to get away from someone who will not quit chasing you.
* **TIPS:** If you aren't sure if something will insta-kill you or not, just don't risk it and let others kill it. Then you can swoop in and either steal, or kill them to get whatever the drop you need.

### **The Basic's Main**

***"A Basic Build. See what I did there?"***

* Petals Used: 7 basic 1 rose
* How it works: Lure people in with your basics then switch to better petals when they get close(preferably deathwheel due to quick respawn of twins, triplets, and fasters)
* Strengths: Picking a fight, strengths of build used with this one
* Weaknesses: Requires 7 basic, weaknesses of build used with this one, requires you to quickly change out petals (hint: use hotkeys)
* How to get: BASIC DUPLICATION GLITCH (not really duplication)
* Variations: um what? Maybe bubble?

### **The Escapist**

***"Bye!"***

* **Petals used:** Five Twins/Triplets/Pollen (not recommended to use pollen, but you can if you want to) and 3 Bubbles, in that order.
* **How it works:** This build uses the same mechanic as the shotgun build. The bubbles, like the shotgun build's missiles, are packed tightly together. When you right click, you go flying! This works because the power of bubbles stacks, and them being packed tightly allows your power to be concentrated in one direction. As the name implies, this is great for escaping players/mobs. If you lose health, replace a petal or two with roses.
* **Strengths:** If you ever needed to escape a sticky situation, this is the build for you. Other players will get frustrated to see you flying off their screen. The triplets/twins allow for mobs to be easily destroyed, and provide pretty good hornet missile defense.
* **Weaknesses:** This build falls short to teamers or any situation where you're cornered because the build lacks PvP combat. In fact, if you are fighting teamers, your bubbles may be detrimental to you, as if you boost into something, it only damages you and bounces you back. It is also very weak if a flower destroys the bubbles. It's also pretty hard to heal, but if you leave some roses/leaves in your inventory, you can press X to switch out your loadout.
* **How to get:** If you're in the Easy/Medium/Hard zone, you'll have to farm ladybugs and bees to get some bubbles. If you're in ???, kill hornets using twins or stingers. As for triplets/pollen, they can be hard to get, but kill other players or farm anthills and you may be able to get some.
* **Variations:** For a more offensive based strategy with the same concept, replace bubbles with missiles for the shotgun build. You can also put some stingers in for more offence in the place of a triplet/pollen and a bubble.

### **Land mine**

***Defence... and Offence?!***

* **Petals:**These petals in this order: Epic rose\poison cactus\pollen\pollen\pollen\pollen\pollen\pollen **Note: This is a very difficult build to obtain due to people who will want the pollen and the pollen is very hard to obtain by its self, let alone keep.**
* **How it works:**Only drop your pollen when you need to get rid of players, because people will take it as a threat(I've had it happen before) and if you attack someone just press defend and ram them.
* **Strengths:** No one will be able to chase you and no one will want to chase you, good at defence and offence
* **Weaknesses:**Not many but some worth mentioning, not good at surviving ambushes only chases, also high damage dealers ruin its purpose.
* **How to get it:**Kill people for pollen and farm dark ladybugs for the epic rose. Farm cacti in the medium zone before you level up to Lvl 30, so you can get the epic cactus. If you can't get the epic cactus from medium, you have two options. 1: Farm cactus that are growing on the very outside of medium, or 2: kill people who have the epic cactus.

### **Salted Wounds**

"***Kill salty florrs."***

* **Petals used:** Square, Stinger spam, 1 or 2 Roses and a Web in your inventory
* **How it works:** The square is a magnet that lures in all the florrs, then you swiftly kill them with the stingers. This is a Bubble Assassin but you don't need to chase players, they come to you. Use the roses to heal when low on health. The web is a last resort weapon, use when surrounded by other florrs or if a hornet swarm starts chasing you.
* **Strengths:** Engaging in PvP
* **Weaknesses:** There will likely be too many players chasing you. Also weak against hornets.
* **How to get: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO GET IN A NORMAL GAME!** Wait until you've spotted a Square on the server. If it's the mob, simply pick it up, but if a player has it, use a Bubble Assassin to kill them. Replace the Bubble with the Square. Try to get a web which can be swapped out with the Square.
* **Variations:** Replace a Stinger with an Iris. Use Pollen

### **The Slower (NOTE: DOES NOT WORK ANY MORE)**

*"**The slowest florr around."***

* **Petals used:** Epic rose(or rare)/Yin yang/Faster/Faster/4 Rocks(or any petal you like).
* **How it works:** The Yin Yang makes your petal rotate counterclockwise, but the faster is still making your petals spin clockwise. This makes your petals spin very, very slowly, allowing your rocks to hit florrs. **NOTE: THIS MECHANIC HAS BEEN PATCHED - DO NOT USE**
* **Strengths:** Making people question there very own existence, or just being flat-out broken at times.
* **Weaknesses:** The ??? zone, because if they see you doing this they will most likely target you for your petals.
* **How to get:** Farm spiders and rocks for faster and rocks (duh) until you get to the ??? zone, and kill dark lady bugs for yin yang and the epic rose.
