Backpack Battles: Ranger Build Guide

The only certain thing in Backpack Battles is the class you start with. Everything other than that changes from one game to another. When going for a build, you can only work with what is offered to you, but there are still ways in which you can optimize your build.

In this guide, we will look at the best Ranger builds that you can go for in Backpack Battles. Despite the items you get being random, you can still consistently make a build that lets you win more battles.

Ranger Build Guide

If you go for the Ranger as your starting class, you will start with the Wooden Sword and a Lucky Clove. The Ranger as a class is based around critical hits and extra damage from these hits.

With luck being such a major part of the class, a lot of your builds will be luck-based. There are certain items that you can only get when playing as a Ranger. They are:

• Acorn Collar
• Bow and Arrow
• Carrot
• Lucky Clover
• Carrot Goober

No matter which class you play with in Backpack Battles, your build will evolve and change a lot throughout the run.

Early-Game Items

Early on in the game, you want to place a lot of your priority on getting backpack space and food items. Most builds in this game will have a similar early game pattern, as food items give you good sustain during battles and backpack space will let you have bigger stronger items in your backpack.

The luck factor in the Ranger class will give you a critical strike chance on all your weapons. You will get offered plenty of cloves too, getting them will increase your overall critical chance.

Crafting Items

As you progress through your run, you will get certain items that can be combined together. There are basic recipes in this game like the Hero Sword, that all classes can craft. The game also has class-specific items. For the Ranger, the unique items are:

• Critwood Staff
• Lucky Piggy
• Fortuna’s Grace
• Tusk Piercer
• Rainbow Goobert Megasludge Alphapuddle

Items that you craft will gain special bonuses and take up less space in your backpack. Combining items is an important way in which you can maximize your backpack space and get much stronger.

End-Game Builds

Your builds near the end of the run will start straying towards specific subclasses. This is important because based on the weapons and items you are offered, your build can look very different.

So if you look at the build above, it shows what a Lifebinder build looks like when you start as a Ranger. Most late-game builds will need to focus on having weapons that are buffed or combined with other items to make them stronger.

Other than that, you also need to have plenty of other utility items that complement your build. You want to maximize damage, but alongside that, you also need to survive the opponent’s damage.

The most important thing in Backpack Battles is getting familiar with the various items in the game. Once you get the hang of that, you can start getting creative with your Ranger builds and build whatever you like.
