Join BUST as he dives into his 600th battle in Backpack Battles, focusing on the Relic Case and the Reaper class. This week’s gameplay offers insights into the strategies, patches, nerfs, and buffs that affect the game.
– **New Week, New Class**: BUST is excited to explore the differences between the Reaper and the Berserker using the Relic Case.
– **Patch Notes**: The Relic Case now activates every 2.6 seconds, down from 2.2. BUST discusses various item changes, including nerfs to the broom and buffs to the wooden buckler and leather boots.
– **Early Game Favorites**: While some items like the Holy Spear and Prismatic Orb have seen changes, BUST strategizes how to integrate the improved buckler and early game items into his gameplay.
– **Relic Case Strategy**: The Relic Case forces a melee-centric, vampiric build which BUST critiques as limiting and polarizing, focusing more on cohesive bag strategies.
– **In-Game Decisions**: BUST navigates through challenges, making key decisions on item picks, such as the Death Scythe and prismatic orb, and the shifts required for late-game success.
– **Efficient Item Use**: Emphasis on using high DPS items early, transitioning out as the game progresses for optimal performance with dark items and synergistic effects.
– **Stamina Management**: Careful consideration is given to stamina costs and how items like the Dark Saber and corrupted armor fit into the scheme.
– **Pets and Buffs**: Discussion on pets like M struggles and its combo potential with different buffs adds another dimension to gameplay.
