Hey everybody, it’s BUST with episode 584 of Battles with BUST! Today, we’re diving into Backpack Battles and playing as the Pyromancer. Like our last game with the Ranger, we’re at the top of Platinum and bottom of Diamond ranks. I’m feeling more confident with my early and mid-game strategies, so let’s jump in and see if we can climb higher!
Key takeaways from this game:
– **Starting Items:** Pick units like on-sale swords, flames, piggy banks, and wet stones for a strong initial build.
– **Building Strategies:**
– **Sustain Builds:** Focus on armor or food for a stable, long-lasting build.
– **Crit Heavy Builds:** Aim for items scaling weapons round after round.
– **Early Game Choices:** Use wet stones and flame items to boost your attack power.
– **Sustain and Healing:** Include healing herbs and garlic to maintain health during battles.
– **Valuable Items:** Pick hero swords and torches for scaling. Avoid less useful items like burning torches for late-game viability.
– **Contingency Plans:** Keep fallback options like falcon blades and gloves of haste in mind.
– **Inventory Management:** Skillfully arrange items like healing herbs, armor, and potions for optimal use.
– **Combat Tactics:** Focus on attacking enemies swiftly, even if it means sacrificing early defensive items.
– **Special Builds:** Consider blood amulet for vampiric builds or pineapples for food-based sustain.
– **Winning Strategies:** Aim for consistent mid-placement rather than always shooting for first place, especially in late-game survival rounds.
– **Adjustment During Fights:** Be ready to pivot and adjust your build based on the items you acquire and your opponent’s strategies.
Let’s pump up that strategy game and aim for the top!
