Hello, fellow gamers! Welcome to another thrilling episode of **BATTLES WITH BUST**. In Episode 621, we’re diving back into the world of **Backpack Battles**, focusing on the Ranger class. This week brings new updates and exciting challenges. Let’s explore these changes and see if we can master the Ranger!
## Weekly Update and Strategy
With the release of patch 921, two new items have been introduced for the Ranger: the Chef and the Squirrel Archer. These additions promise to spice up our gameplay. While we usually switch classes with each new patch, the Ranger’s allure has us hooked. We’re aiming for mastery, and sticking with the Ranger class might just get us there.
## The Bazaar’s Imminent Release
As October approaches, the release of the Bazaar is on the horizon. Although a specific beta release date hasn’t been announced, it’s expected this month. Our plan is to switch to the Bazaar full-time, much like we did with the Legends of Runa. Until then, mastering the Ranger in Backpack Battles remains our goal.
## Kicking Off Our Ranger Adventure
Starting a new game, we explore the items available in our bag. With 11 hexes at our disposal, we strategically select items, focusing on powerful combinations like the Tusk Shield and Tusk Poker. These choices set the stage for a potentially successful run.
## Overcoming Early Challenges
Our early battles present challenges, with opponents wielding rare items. Despite initial setbacks, we persevere, focusing on expanding our bag and upgrading our weapons. The goal is to enhance our build with items like the Smelly Wall and garlic for sustainability.
## Building the Ultimate Ranger Setup
As the game progresses, we experiment with different strategies. From acquiring the Thorn Bloom to stacking empowers, each decision shapes our path. The introduction of the Acorn Ace and the potential for a big food build adds layers of complexity to our strategy.
## Facing Formidable Opponents
Each round brings unique challenges. The presence of wands and other powerful items in our opponents’ arsenals tests our build’s resilience. We adjust our strategy, focusing on health scaling and empower gains to withstand their attacks.
## Final Thoughts and Reflections
Despite falling short of reaching the survival round, our journey with the Ranger was insightful. The lack of certain items, like additional garlics for the Smelly Wall, posed challenges. Yet, the experience offered valuable lessons in adaptability and strategy.
## Conclusion
This episode of **BATTLES WITH BUST** was a testament to the depth and excitement of **Backpack Battles**. The Ranger class, with its new items and potential for mastery, provided a rich gaming experience. As we look forward to future episodes and the release of the Bazaar, the journey continues.
