BALL x PIT mixes brick-breaking with base-building. You fire balls at enemies in a pit, and the buildings you put together help your team grow stronger over time. Buildings fall into three groups: Economy buildings gather resources, Warfare buildings boost your whole team, and Housing buildings unlock new characters to play. Knowing what each group does makes it much easier to decide what to build and upgrade first.

How BALL x PIT Buildings Work
Every building belongs to one of three groups. Economy buildings produce resources, Warfare buildings give stat bonuses, and Housing buildings unlock characters. Many buildings also have an effect zone, the area around them where they work, so a building only helps the tiles or characters inside that zone. That makes where you place a building just as important as which one you pick.
Their bonuses also last in different ways. Stat buildings and trophy buildings carry their bonuses from one run to the next, so the work you put in once keeps paying off. Most economy buildings produce nothing until a character is assigned to them, so a building you own does nothing until someone is working it.
How to Unlock Buildings with Blueprints
Unlocking a building takes a blueprint, while building and upgrading it takes resources. Most blueprints drop from enemies or bosses while you play specific levels, and trophy blueprints are the exception. Each level holds a different number of blueprints, so some stages have more to find than others.
Economy Buildings: Gold, Wood, Stone and Wheat
Economy buildings keep your resources coming in, and most other buildings cost something to build or upgrade. Most of them work on their own once a character is assigned. The character gathers on a timer, and the building keeps producing. The Gold Mine is the exception, since it only pays out when a character bounces on it.
Gold comes back to you from runs, while wheat, wood and stone are harvested around New Ballbylon. If you're short on one material, the Market lets you trade gold for it.
Placement changes how much each building brings in. In harvest mode, your characters bounce off buildings and resource tiles to gather from them. Keeping your main resource buildings close together helps your characters move between them more often.
Two harvest upgrades are worth knowing about. The Watch Tower lengthens the harvest clock, and the Road Keeper speeds up movement during harvests.
Warfare Buildings and Permanent Bonuses
Warfare buildings are the ones that make your whole team stronger. Several are stat buildings, which add a bonus to stats such as Strength, Intelligence and Leadership. That bonus applies to every character, so a single building helps your entire roster at once.
Other Warfare buildings work differently. Some boost XP or the gold you earn from battles, some offer a choice before each battle starts, and some add an extra ball slot. It pays to look at what each one does before you spend on it.
Trophy Buildings and Level Completion Rewards
Trophy buildings are a special set inside Warfare, and each one is tied to a level. You get its trophy blueprint automatically the first time you complete that level, so there's nothing to hunt for. Once you've built a trophy building, it gives a bonus to every character.
That bonus grows with each completion, so replaying a level keeps paying off even after you've earned its trophy. That makes replaying older levels worthwhile as well as pushing into new ones.
Housing Buildings and Character Unlocks
Housing buildings are how you unlock new characters. Each house unlocks its own character, so the Campground, for example, brings in The Radical. The Warrior is available from the start, so you won't need a house for that character.
A house also gains its passive bonuses as its character levels up, so it becomes more useful the longer you play with that character. Keep in mind that dismantling a house removes its character from your assignments until you rebuild it.
Captain's Quarters is worth a look. It's The Tactician's house, so building it also unlocks that character. Once it reaches level 2, stat bonus buildings in its zone give an extra +1 to their stats, so where you place it matters. The newest houses, Ball House and Unstable Tower, came with the Naturalist update.
How to Upgrade and Dismantle Buildings
Upgrades happen right on the building itself. Upgrade costs climb in steps every five levels, so later upgrades take much more than early ones.
Most stat buildings top out at level 5, while a set of Warfare buildings have no cap at all, so their bonuses can keep growing. Dismantling a stat building fully refunds what you've spent on it so far. That makes it safe to pull one down in a spot that isn't pulling its weight and rebuild it somewhere better.
Which BALL x PIT Buildings to Build First
Early on, focus on your economy and put gold mines at the top of the list. Gold sets how fast you can upgrade everything else, and economy upgrades come before buff and unlock upgrades.
As your base grows, buff and unlock buildings become more valuable than raw resource sites. Warfare buildings are the ones to prioritize at that point, since their bonuses reach every character. Housing buildings depend more on what you want to play. Each one opens a new character, so build the houses for the characters you're most interested in.
FAQ
How much do BALL x PIT buildings cost?
Costs vary a lot. Early houses like the Sheriff's Office and the Haunted House cost little or nothing, while late buildings like the Bag Maker and the Evolution Chamber need thousands of gold or wheat.
Which BALL x PIT buildings can be upgraded without a limit?
The Hospital, Warrior's Guild, Capitolium, Wagon Factory, Marksman's Guild and Grand Museum all have no level cap.
Do buildings keep producing resources when the game is closed?
Only the Worker's Guild does. It keeps gathering for up to 24 hours while the game is closed, at a reduced rate, and other gathering buildings stop until you return.
How much gold does a Gold Mine make?
At level 1, each bounce on a Gold Mine mines 1 or 2 gold, and a single harvest can take up to 100 bounces. Upgrading the mine raises the gold per bounce.
