In this video, BUST plays the Ranger in Backpack Battles and faces a bit of a struggle with the Lucky Clover Flute build. Despite trying to avoid it, BUST ends up leaning into the familiar build throughout the game. Here are some key takeaways:
- BUST manages to pick up useful items like Wet Stone and Short Bow to start building towards Falcon Blade.
- The initial shop offers a Wet Stone and a Sh dealtow Bow, setting up a reasonable start with Banana and Piggy Bank for early-game advantages.
- The gameplay demonstrates challenges faced with the Thorns build as opponents like the Berserker can counter Thorns damage with high weapon strength.
- BUST explores the potential of creating a Thorns build with Walrus Tusk but expresses skepticism about effective item combinations like Tusk piercer and Tusk poker.
- The importance of prioritizing compositions that aim for a top-four finish rather than pushing for a first-place win is highlighted.
- BUST emphasizes the strategy of playing towards mid-game spikes instead of banking on late-game dominance, especially with tricky builds like Thorns.
Overall, the video showcases an insightful approach to strategy-building in Backpack Battles, emphasizing adaptability and understanding the dynamics of different compositions based on varying in-game situations.
