How to use Peddler
Best position: front or middle.
Plunder pays 3 gold for its first damaging attack each battle. Over a full run, that money buys several extra hero copies.
It has a little armor and decent health early, so it can hold the front on the first floors.
At level 3, Golden Touch pays gold equal to the level of each enemy it kills.
Good teammates

Alchemist
Peddler's income helps pay for Coin Toss.

Warchief
Extra power makes kills, and so Golden Touch, more likely.
Tier by stage of the run
Early B · Middle C · Late B. Modest in battle from mid-run on, but a useful gold earner.
