Join BUST in his latest Backpack Battles adventure, episode #597, where he dives into battles using the Berserker and the new utility bag. This video walks through his second series of fights, focusing on strategy as every player starts with a new backpack. Discover the key elements that make or break a successful Berserker build in this patch.
– **Starting Weapons**: BUST starts with a wooden sword and short sword, aiming to upgrade them into a torch, as early game weapons are crucial for success.
– **Utility Bag Adjustments**: It’s tricky to figure out the best weapons for the Berserker at the start. Without a default weapon, it’s easy to end up with subpar DPS in the early game.
– **Item Choices**: BUST’s preferred items include the broom and wooden buckler, although they don’t always fit neatly in the bag together.
– **Focus on Sockets**: Finding and utilizing more sockets early in the game can pave the way for stronger builds, especially when aiming for a single powerful weapon.
– **Weapon Upgrades**: Transitioning the wooden sword into a torch and then further upgrades like a hero sword is a strategic focus.
– **Strategic Crit**: The wolf emblem and crit Runes like the shaman mask are vital for ensuring weapons have critical strike capabilities.
– **Berserker Builds**: Preferences lean towards single, powerful weapons, with less focus on multi-weapon builds unless for Mana builds.
– **Armor Choices**: Difficulty finding synergy with the dragon scale armor in the current patch, leaning more towards leather armor for the lifesteal benefits.
– **Stamina Management**: BUST discusses how to manage stamina effectively, using items like the stamina sack.
– **Endgame Adjustments**: Shuffling and strategic item placement in the utility bag to maximize activations, particularly focusing on items like spikes collars, shields, and pets for crit boosts.
This detailed breakdown helps you understand BUST’s approach and thought process while playing Backpack Battles. Whether you’re a newbie or a seasoned player, these insights will help refine your gameplay strategy.
