Welcome to another episode of BATTLES WITH BUST! In this thrilling Episode 618, we dive deep into the world of Backpack Battles, focusing on perfecting the Reaper build strategy. As we wrap up Reaper week, join me, BUST, as we explore the intricacies of the snake and fancy fencing rapier combo.
## The Core Strategy
In this episode, our primary goal is to construct the most viable Reaper build by utilizing the snake and fancy fencing rapier. Here’s a quick rundown of how these items synergize:
– **Snake:** Provides a significant clover and health gain at the start of each battle for every pet attached. Our aim is to accumulate 20 clovers and 260 health points right off the bat.
– **Fancy Fencing Rapier:** A late-game scaling item that spends clovers to permanently increase damage. It allows us to convert those clovers into continuous damage output, reaching up to 40-50 DPS.
## Building the Perfect Reaper
To optimize this build, we focus on acquiring pets early, even if they’re not immediately useful. This foresight ensures that our snake’s potential is maximized. Additionally, we aim to incorporate pandemonium alongside a Death Scythe to generate poison and maintain stamina for consistent hits with the rapier.
### Early Game Tactics
The game starts with a massive on-sale shop, which is a perfect opportunity to gather essential items. Prioritizing a broom or similar weapon ensures we maintain our stars and stay competitive from the outset. The early acquisition of a walrus tusk and a pan sets the stage for potential upgrades like a shovel.
### Mid Game Adjustments
As we progress, the focus shifts to enhancing our weaponry. The hero sword and shovel are placeholders until we find the coveted Falcon Blade or other high-tier weapons. The addition of items like the gloves of haste and poison goobert further strengthens our position.
### Late Game Mastery
The late game is all about refining our setup. The snake, Death Scythe, and poison goobert form the backbone of our strategy, complemented by a robust defense. Our goal is to find dragons and the fancy fencing rapier to maximize damage output. The glowing crown provides invulnerability, crucial for surviving intense battles.
## Overcoming Challenges
Throughout the gameplay, we face several hurdles, such as missing out on key items like the fancy fencing rapier. Despite these setbacks, the build remains competitive, highlighting the importance of adaptability and strategic planning.
## Conclusion
Episode 618 of BATTLES WITH BUST showcases the power of a well-executed Reaper build in Backpack Battles.
