Welcome to episode 637 of BATTLES WITH BUST! I’m excited to bring you another thrilling session in the world of The Bazaar. Today, we’re focusing on Dooley and working to optimize our strategy to reach new heights in the game. Let’s dive in!
## Understanding the Strategy
In this episode, our main focus is on utilizing the **Critical Core** and the **Combat Core**. Our aim is to create a build that maximizes damage through clever use of items and skills. The critical core allows us to do extra damage through critical hits, while the combat core enhances our overall power during battles.
### Choosing the Right Path
During the draft, we decided to switch up our strategy and focus more on the critical core rather than repeating the same with Vanessa. This decision set the tone for the rest of the game. I aimed to be more aggressive, stacking items and skills that bolster our crit abilities.
Choosing our path wisely also meant beating challenges like the Kyver Drone early in the game—ensuring we level up efficiently and choose paths that suit our playstyle.
## Key Game Highlights
1. **Initial Choices:**
– After assessing options, I selected the critical core to jumpstart our strategy.
– Focused on paths that offered potential skill upgrades or small item shops to supplement early game power.
2. **Gearing Up:**
– Opted for a series of fast-attacking items like the Uzi and Laser Pistol, crucial for activating our cores quickly.
– Regularly checked for item upgrades to maintain competitiveness.
3. **Mid-Game Adjustments:**
– Noticed synergies with the critical core—items with high activation frequencies increased crit chances.
– Focused on upgrading with experience-gaining items to stay ahead of opponents.
4. **Endgame Challenges:**
– Faced tough opponents but leaned heavily on our crit setup, enabling us to deal substantial damage in pivotal moments.
– We encountered the challenge of not hitting many treasure chests but managed through strategic item and skill selection.
## Reflection and Learning
While the plan was well-executed early on, hindsight suggests we might have explored shield-based builds more deeply. The game presented several chances to adopt a hybrid shield and weapon strategy that I didn’t leverage fully, which could have potentially increased our crit opportunities.
Additionally, the game taught us about balancing the use of tools and crit items. Tools don’t contribute to crit stats but serve the combat core well. Deciphering this balance posed a unique challenge in this session.
## Conclusion
Episode 637 was a rollercoaster of strategy and adaptation. The Bazaar continually challenges even seasoned players with its dynamic possibilities. Trying new paths with Dooley and exploring different angles of the critical and combat cores was an informative experience. As we continue with future episodes, expect more in-depth dives into these strategic layers, pushing boundaries and refining approaches.
