Backpack Battles / Patch 1.1.9
Backpack Battles Tips: A Placement Checklist for Every Round
Wins and losses depend on small inefficiencies in free slots, target ranges, stamina and activation speed as well as rare items. Check them in the same order each round.
Before leaving the shop
- Are the intended recipe ingredients correctly touching?
- Do any star or arrow markers point at empty slots?
- Are your main items inside the unique bag effect’s range?
- Can recovery keep up with the combined stamina consumption of your weapons?
After a loss
- Separate the most effective items from those that did not activate in the combat log.
- Identify one main issue: insufficient damage, survival time or resources.
- In the next shop, prioritize purchases that directly address that cause.
Checks for every round
| Sale value | Items normally sell for half the purchase price, rounded up. Items bought at half price sell for their purchase price, so you can use them as temporary holdings when needed. |
|---|---|
| Stamina | Check stamina and light/heavy status at the lower left. After adding weapons, check whether they actually keep activating through the fight rather than looking only at attack speed. |
| Combat log | Hover over a weapon to check its attack power after buffs and its synergy effects. Fix just one cause of an inactive item in your next shopping phase. |
| Status effects | Arrange suppliers and consumers for Luck, Regeneration, Spikes, Vampirism, Mana, Heat and Empower, as well as Poison, Blind and Freeze. |
