Hey everybody, it’s BUST with Backpack Battles number 595! Today, we’ll be exploring a Berserker build. Let’s dive in and see what we find!
– **New Berserker Build:** BUST switches from the Pyromancer to the Berserker. No patch updates, but new bags are in the game.
– **Early Game Setup:** Kicking off with a banana and an onion. BUST avoids expensive items like Pan and Wustust early game.
– **Item Strategy:** Picks items like broom for secondary weapons but avoids high-cost, low-impact items like wet stone.
– **First Rounds:** Wins initial rounds and secures valuable early-game items like torches and bags.
– **Stone Golem:** Unsure about using stone golem, prefers specific strategic builds with stones.
– **Mana Build Focus:** Prefers brass knuckles, spike staff, and Mana thirst builds for the Berserker. Avoids shaman masks unless early buster sword shows up.
– **Money Management:** Manages resources carefully, prioritizes long-term value items.
– **Critical Weapons:** Oil lamp to upgrade torch, but anticipates shifting to Mana-based items.
– **Early Victory and Adaptation:** Wins consecutive rounds with strategic item placement and quick adaptation.
– **Defensive Items:** Emphasizes looking for defensive upgrades, particularly glowing crowns for invulnerability.
– **Avoid Over-Commitment:** Avoids over-committing to multiple mana-soaking items like spectral daggers for more efficient builds.
– **Adjusting Strategies:** Mid-game adjustments include dropping ineffective items and focusing on solid builds like spike staff and brass knuckles.
Got a three-win streak but faced challenges against crit rangers. BUST recommends prioritizing defensive gear to counter early critical damage from opponents.
