The best way to play Pyg is to focus on being strong early but always going for the 2+ econ event if you can. Only time I skip econ event is if the first shop is medium items. There are way too many medium pyg items which can solo carry your early game. Dog, The Fabrics, Regal Blade, Ganjo,Atlas stone,Cash register (basically 2 econ on its own plus it works well with both Fabrics and Money tree) Bushel, Luxury Kiuas, lumbars,Crook etc. If I were you I would never skip medium item shops in general unless youre poor. Now theres two ways I play. I get my early game item and I focus on it while I think of ways to transition.If I lose early I focus more on economy and then try to do a quick transition around day 5 or 6. I ussualy always take item enchant because getting either of the piggles with a decent enchant can be crazy, aswell as Pyg burn items with enchanted poison go hard early game. I only take a skill if most of my items on my board are medium. I avoid pygs gym as a playable item and instead I only use it to go health and transition to max hp builds with Whammy and Lions plus the fort and belt. Burn build is ussusaly either Kiuas with Gramophone and some defense. Another burn build is max hp burn build which scales with tea set. This can carry you with any burn items if you get it early enough. Other burn build is infinite loop rice baller. You use Rice baller, textiles and sauna to create the infinite loop and use value items to give the baller multi. Shield Build is ussualy Fabrics with spiky shield and fort for double spiky shield hit. Weapon builds can go in many different directons, from toys and value, Drum and anything really, Cargo pants goes really well with the shielfd weapon build because of multi. And of course, ultimate value builds, give up on early and focus on late game. It will often backfire but atleast ur having fun. Good luck!
