If you want to maximize your digging power in Roblox DIG, having the right strength build is essential. In this guide, I’ll walk you through the best charms to equip that will boost your strength and make mining faster and easier. Also check out our Roblox Dig Codes & Beginner Guide for Roblox Dig!
We’ll focus mainly on charms since shovels vary and while the Solstice Shovel is the best for strength, not everyone has it. For this guide, I’ll be using the Starfire Shovel, which is the best shovel available to most players and comes with 10 strength. Let’s jump into the best strength build for charms!
1. Cauldron Hat
You can get the Cauldron Hat from traveling merchants, but it’s a rare spawn, so check often. This charm boosts your strength by 16%. The best part is its unique Unwieldy ability, which increases the effectiveness of your strength buffs and enchants by 20%. This means all your other strength boosts work even better, making it an extremely valuable item.
- Important: Aim for the SS tier version for the least negative impact on your walk speed and haste stats.
- Tip: Don’t equip three Cauldron Hats thinking the Unwieldy ability stacks—it doesn’t work well in practice. Testing showed that with three hats, digging takes longer than with the optimized build.
2. Imp Horns
You can find Imp Horns in Mount Charcoal. Head inside the area, go up a little, and you’ll see an NPC selling them for 45,000 coins.
- The SS tier Imp Horn gives you +12% strength.
- The important ability here is Defiance, which makes you lose endurance health faster but increases your strong hit progression. This means you deal more damage per hit but lose health quicker, so keep an eye on your health meter.
- Note: Just like the Cauldron Hat, equipping three Imp Horns is not beneficial.
3. Ice Picks
The last item in this build is the Ice Picks, which you get by completing the entire Mount Cinder journal (not the whole game journal, just Mount Cinder’s). This might take some time depending on your luck, but the effort is worth it.
- The Ice Picks can have up to three strength buffs on them.
- You want to aim for SS tier Ice Picks with as many strength boosts as possible.
- These directly increase your strength by a flat percentage (e.g., 12%), making them incredibly powerful.
- To upgrade your charms and improve tiers, visit the Appraiser in Foxtown’s bank and purchase a Charm Chisel for 25,000 coins. Chiseling lets you improve your charms but can get expensive.
Equip a strength enchant on your shovel for an extra 10% strength boost. If you’re not sure how to enchant, check out dedicated guides or tutorials. Avoid stacking multiple identical charms with the same ability thinking it will stack linearly — it often doesn’t, and you lose efficiency. This build takes time and effort to complete but significantly improves your digging speed and power in DIG.
This strength build focuses on optimizing your charms to maximize your strength stat while balancing speed and health trade-offs. While it takes some grinding to gather all these charms and upgrade them, it’s definitely worth it if you want to become a top-tier digger. Combine this build with the Starfire Shovel and strength enchant for the best results in Dig Roblox.
