Field guide to The Bazaar, the Tempo game. Not the restaurant, the magazine, or Cafe Bazaar.

Builds by archetype

Choose an archetype that fits the items you have found: weapons and Aquatic for Vanessa, economy and sustain for Pygmalien, cores for Dooley, or reagents for Mak. The table links the signature cards and separates historical guides from current card snapshots.

Archetypes

These labels come from the hero pages on the wiki, which are old, cross-read with the items that still exist on BazaarDB in 20.1. If the wiki and the live item disagree, the item page wins for numbers and the wiki only supplies the nickname of the plan.

Questions

What is the best build?

I don't have a 20.1 10-win sample, so I will not crown one. Use the hero page and the current patch.

Where are full boards?

bazaar-builds.net posts daily 10-win boards, and Mobalytics has a planner. Both can lag a hotfix. I link them on the tools page.
