## Starting the Game: Setting Up for Success
In Backpack Battles, the early game is crucial. BUST emphasizes the importance of setting a solid foundation. His go-to strategy involves aiming for a hero sword in every game. This time, he plans to secure two stones, a stone bag, and some bows. This setup is essential for transitioning into the hero sword build.
### Early Game Purchases

## Late Game: Assembling the Ultimate Build
With the foundation set, BUST transitions into the late game. He aims to create a hero goobert build, focusing on sustained armor and scaling damage. The smelly wall and garlics play a significant role, adding layers to his strategy.
