Startup is an early game item set. It consists of bright yellow items, all sharing a theme of training.

Items

Startup items are available in Common and Rare quality. The set includes following items:

Cup Knife Watch Book
Sprite Rare startup cup.png Rare startup knife.png Rare startup watch.png Rare startup book.png
Name Non-spill Cup Training Knife Alarm Clock For Dummies

Set Bonus

This set adds +2 to unit movement speed. It stacks with anything else that boosts unit speed, including special abilities of Flamethrower and Policeman Diaz.

Analysis

Among all early game sets, Startup is the least useful one, since its bonus is quite niche and doesn't boost other stats. While its rare variant can give almost the same number of bonuses as a full set of Junk and Adventurer, this requires making a significant investment which you won't be quick to recover from.

Farmer and Policeman Diaz are the only units who might want to consistently use Startup throughout early game, since they have very slow walking speed. The only other use case for this set is in missions with sandstorms, but this can be avoided if you approach these levels smartly.
