What Are the Best Food Buffs in Aloft? How to Maximize Food Buffs in Aloft?
Food buffs in Aloft are your secret weapon. They’re temporary, but they pack a punch. Let’s break them down and figure out how to use them like a pro.
The Basics of Food Buffs
- Food buffs last 8 minutes, except for Hydrated, which lasts 5 minutes.
- Temporary HP from food outlasts buffs. For example, a Healthy Smoothie gives +22 HP for 10 minutes but keeps you hydrated for only 5 minutes.
Digesting: Clearing the Slate
- You can only digest two meals at a time.
- Want to reset? Brew Digestive Tea. It clears all food effects, extra HP, and buffs.
Buff Types and How to Get Them
Hydrated (+Attack Speed)
- Duration: 5 minutes.
- Source: Clean Water, smoothies, or soups (but not coffee).
Tip: Essential in the Red Cliffs biome to counteract Parched (reduced attack speed).
Efficient (+Attack Damage)
- Duration: 8 minutes.
- Source: Blueberry Pie, Marrons Glacés, Corn Loaf, Pumpkin Pie, and more baked goods.
Energetic (Shorter Combos)
- Duration: 8 minutes.
- Source: Berry Loaf, Carrot Loaf, Flat Bread, Stew, or Oatmeal.
Why it’s great: Longer yellow combo timing bars and fewer wind-up attacks make it the best combat buff post-patch 0.3.1.13.
Productive (+Resources Gathered)
- Duration: 8 minutes.
- Source: Stew, Summer Salad, Gnocchi, or Tomato Soup.
Zippy (+1 Momentum & Double Momentum Gain)
- Duration: 5 minutes (even with Digestive Tea).
- Source: Coffee (doesn’t count toward your two-meal limit).
Fun fact: Coffee is as energizing in-game as it is in real life!
Pro Tips for Food Buffs
- Always carry Digestive Tea when exploring new areas—it’s like hitting the reset button on your meals.
- Combine buffs strategically for combat: Hydrated + Energetic + Efficient is a killer combo!
- Keep coffee handy for gliding and quick combat maneuvers—it’s a game-changer.
Food buffs aren’t just about survival; they’re about thriving in Aloft. Use them wisely to conquer biomes and dominate battles!
