In the latest episode of Backpack Battles, BUST navigates the challenges of the Reaper class as he climbs the ranks to Diamond. Let’s look at key takeaways from the video and BUST’s strategic decisions.
– **Early Game Choices:** BUST starts with food items and a broom, setting a solid foundation. He picks up discounted items to boost the economy.
– **Round Preparation:** Aims to align items like the piggy bank with dust, though missing out on the pig’s health bonus.
– **In-Game Strategy:** Deals with round one hammer attacks yet manages to secure a win. Faces challenges in following rounds but optimizes his item arrangement continuously.
– **Item Acquisition:** Looks for suitable items like a pan, wooden buckler, and magic staff that align with Reaper’s abilities.
– **Focus Shifts:** Initially aims for a Thorns build but adjusts to a poison and potion-centric strategy when key Thorns items are missing.
– **Bag Rearrangement:** Frequently reorganizes the bag to maximize space and item effectiveness despite limited bag slots.
– **Usage of Potions:** Incorporates potions and cauldrons, integrating Divine potions to maximize buffs.
– **Combat Challenges:** Adjusts tactics based on opponents’ builds, balancing between offensive and defensive adjustments.
– **Midgame Pivot:** Transitions from pursuing Thorns to a more viable cauldron and mana build due to the lack of necessary items.
– **Final Adjustments:** Secures critical items like the Mana orb and pestilence flask to solidify the build’s direction.
These takeaways highlight BUST’s flexibility and strategic planning in Backpack Battles. By continually adapting to the game’s dynamic nature, he showcases effective gameplay and decision-making for the Reaper class.
