Finally Trying Out the CURSED BLADE! - Backpack Hero
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 окт 2024
- Backpack Hero Part 20 - hard mode 2 means business. So I guess that means grabbing a bunch of shivs and a weapon I've never used before. Idk, strategy in this game is tiring, it's more fun to just go with the shiniest thing available.

Funny thing is that curse that you skipped from the bee (curse of honey) takes up 1 space and has no downsides. You could have farmed the bee for curses
Timestamps:
2:56 - first instance of curse, before cursed blade, could have read this to learn what the curse does
12:22 - that bee was about to give you honey, seemed farmable
Did they change it back to no downsides in the steam version? Because at one point they changed it to give like 2 or 3 slow each turn which makes it impossible to effectively block with a bunch of the curses in your inventory.
Does it not disappear after the fight?
@@Viscidsquare040 Huh. Looks like they updated it to remove that synergy. They probably didn't change it back; just remember seeing some videos a while back on it.
@@Halfling22 curse of honey doesn’t, no.
Since I recall you saying you didn’t like Tote’s playstle due to her not using the backpack very well; I think you’ll absolutely love CR-8. He’s extremely focused on backpack positioning
In the early access update, Tote is also much more backpack focused. It'll be fun to see Tyler check out all the major changes once he's back from his break
I just played a few games as CR-8 and I 100% think Tyler will love extremely.
CR-8 Is a Backpack management extravaganza, where creating a build feels like solving an incredibly challenging Puzzle. You have all these parts, and need to figure out the precise order things must happen to do optimal stuff.
@@xBrokenMirror2010x CR-8 is super fun. Tho also sorta broken right now with loads of possible infinite loops
When Tyler initially started playing the game I was very skeptical and didn't really like it but the more I watch it the more I wanna play it. Which I will very soon
@@sunbleachedangel $15 for Early Access on Steam right now!
20:45 Earthstone Blade could’ve been good with the Tusk because anchored items don’t get pushed through by heavy items so he could’ve just put the blade on top of the shivs for lots of damage
The best curse to take is the one you get from fighting bees, they don't do anything while keeping it in your inventory they just do something when removed, so ideal for the cursed blade!
Uses as many shivs as The Silent in Slay the Spire
When is the magic items run? I notice that there are only a couple of actually decent magic items, and the rest just don't scale (ever).
Didn't he already do that?
Sounds cool
@@Amari_rin no
I upgraded a wand once to have rage on use, and a Frog totem to keep the mana flowing. It buffed itself and every other weapon in my backpack, but thats not exactly something you can expect to get every run.
Hmm, some require a bunch of synergy. Black manastones are a must have though, along with some item to regen mana (the frog totem/mask thing for instance, or the mage hat thing, you lose energy for it but that's ok if you have the ethereal wand each turn, then you need ethereal wand so you get tons of energy and then perhaps go for a bow and the archers wand with that relic that gives +500% but destroys the weapons. Since they are arrows, spikes stop being a problem, and with cleansing rag it's about as good as it gets for dealing with poison. If you're lucky enough to get more than one, as long as you space them properly more than one black manastone can get buffed by a absorbed manastones without absorbing each other, can do up to +3 to both at a time this way.
"curses"
-the enemies, probably
If you ever feel like playing Backpack hero again, I think youd really like the new Robot character, it turns your entire backpack into a puzzle game and the few runs ive played of it were so much fun
“I’m reducing my video output”
*puts out a 43 min video*
The law of equivalent exchange
Wdym? "reducing" is relative
if he were not on break he would release 2 40 min videos
tbf it's his editor that edits this, a 43m vid might even require less cuts, also it's not like he would be playing for longer, if this is a 20m or 40m edit doesn't change how long the run took
hes on break? he normally posts 2 a day or smt and he has pre recorded these videos.
@@mauku1270 once a day, 2 a day is pretty insane
I feel like the dagger is pretty good for a long fight compared to the Wooden Sword.
Even though being able to use it once per turn is pretty bad, the fact it does 2 poison mean that you can stack it for each turn. That, and Poison should penetrate through blocks.
Single dagger is so much worse than wooden sword. Maybe 2 daggers is pretty close after a couple turns, but 1 dagger doesn't scale poison fast enough
@@robertmartinez601
It still going to reach it, while the other 2 or more energy can be use for other weapon or shield. So it will be slower but more defensive, but still isn’t the best weapon for a poison build.
I DIDN'T KNOW YOU COULD DO THAT WITH THE CITRINE.
Lol.
The classic strategy is farming bee for curses.
Curses will get a complete rework though. Can't wait for curse synergies to become more viable
9:35 that was a miSTEAK
So glad this game is out for steam. I had to sell some random stuff from my inventory to get it, but its worth every penny.
I like how In the description of the cursed blade stands that many tried to wield the sword but all failed, and using the sword coincidentally being your first loss.
Idk if Tyler reads comments but, I love your vids, I have been watching for over a year and I still love all the videos you make!
Really cool to see the game pose a threat now
Out of all the games of this type this is my favourite for many reasons. Not least of which is the battle music, certified banger!
9:38 you could, hypothetically, call that a mis-steak
Idk if you've done it yet but its possible to make an infinite build with CR-8. It is pretty easy just have a repeater loop into itself and make sure it goes through a booster. If they patched it just get 2 coal that refresh each other and the repeater.
What helps me out in Hard mode is to focus on defense first and offense second, and of course be mindful of poison that can knock you out quickly because of the lower HP.
They should rework the cursed blade into a weapon that gains damage based on the number of spaces that curses occupy, which might be more interesting because the player can be brave and micromanage a lot of curses instead of the player be picky about their choice of curses. This also allows big curses to be direct synergy but the devs could make it so the big curses disappear after combats or have an item that consistently generates curses.
The cursed whetstone and cursed shiv both generate curses on use. The cursed whetstone is especially good, because it gives adjacent weapons 125% bonus damage PER USE for one energy.
Broken ring goes perfectly with archangel wings... but you need a bit more mana, black manastone to keep the size small. The haste makes it scale very well and since you can keep adding to the manastone it can scale quite far into the game.
Poison dagger had 8 base damage +2 from poison. Wood sword had 7 base damage +3 from item. If you used the gem on the dagger it dealt more overall.
Dagger can only be used once per turn which is why citrine is better on sword, +3 vs +3n
Please play this game again and try this cr-8 character because i want to see his mechanics and how good you are with him
I was watching a witness video lmao, got a ping in discord
8:06 enemies that are summoned have the 'cowardly' trait. They run away if only they are left
If I'm not mistaken the red skull means curse right 8:44 "summoning enemies to late" I thought that was black skull
They 100% got a furry artist to do at least purse’s profile picture, it’s really cute
I think this is the first time we’ve seen you use the whetstone lol
Might be the second time
Hard 2 finally feels balanced as hard enough for you
I would actually like to see you try the robot. It has some really fun mechanics.
The bee curse is good for that build, it only adds one slow a turn
Nuuuuuu you're totally underestimating the dagger - it comes with innate scaling, since the poison stacks up 2 per turn, so while it's 11 turn one it'll go up very quickly. Plus, poison ignored shield!
You spoil us with the 40 minuters.
Curse of Honey from the bees is the BY FAR best curse for this- it has no bad effects, and is 1x1. It vanishes when you spend an energy to use it, so just don't do that.
Damn i literally clicked as i saw the notification
I've been on discord just long enough to where I opened up this video and was immediately on my guard
Why?
I am glad to see you don’t go spikes, in this version especially, spikes are way too powerful. Only one enemy is an actual threat (the snake)
whos gonna tell him that its an old version of the game he is playing?
what would happen if you put a duct tape between archangel wings?
YES
It uses and disables adjacent items.
I did this strat once, but no curse blade, ns instead used a rapier. Super busted, try it out!
Homie. Brig-und. Not. Brig-AND. I love you but puh-leez.
I am here 3 minutes after upload and there are 297 views already
if Cursed blade was turned into a sword, it would just become muramasa mgr
Him not using the 1st bee to get a stacked cursed sword with honey pains me.
Give blob hero a shot its great
Have you done the pickaxe build yet?
he has in a previous build not sure if it has been change since then tho
Bro that aint no cursed blade
That's the murasama
Exactly what i thought
You must try Noita... It's literally a Elden Ring version of roguelike games you play
Why did the backpack spaces around shiv and cursed blade turn red around 13:40
the tusk relic he picked up anchors weapons on use for 2 turns. the red outline shows which weapons are anchored, and cannot be rearranged/removed from the backpack
@@Lyreen Thank you so much. I thought that was the case but google was no help. 🙏
love the vids
Curious on how you don’t have to pay for forge at 16:18 since the game came out on steam. I still have to pay at forges.
The king is absolutely brutal compared to the master. If you don’t have projectiles or massive single hits, it’s almost impossible
Imagine not being early
Indeed
Couldn’t be me
Imagine
True
True
Shivs be like:
nice
Bruh is that Muramasa
14:30 why do the weapons have a red border now?
Theyre Anchored because of the Tusk, and can't be reorganized until 2 fihts without using them.
Why is the blacksmith free? In my game he always requires payment.
Maybe I'm insane but they made the game so much easier (base mode)
I wonder what time it is for him when he uploads these. I'm in the us and it's 11pm :/
it says in his about page, he normally uploads every day at 12:00 am est which is 11 pm for you if u live in chicago or something
@@lukeguo3966 thanks 👍
Ey who's the third charecter?
Why do the 2 characters look identical?
👍
Damn
Under minute gang!
Why no try the robot rat
BTW at 36:10 you could have made the cursed energy better (if I understand it correctly) by just getting the space above or below it to make it have no spaces 2 away
This has been me bothering it's pronounced briɡənd
bruh 11:08 here in the americas.😵💫
He uploads at 12 EST because he isnt a cretin. He uses the American conversion time. Aka EST.
My good man, you're _butchering_ the word 'brigand'.
Yeah, it's pronounced more like brig-end
more like cursed bad
You skipped so many good curses that I got audibly upset
I know that these episodes are already in the can, and that you can't do anything about it, but...
It's pronounced "Brig-IND", despite being spelled "Brig-AND"
Just feelin' pedantic
are you sick?
Lmao 1 minutes
I'm early again
Congrats on being first
Day 5 of asking aliensrock to play gum+
.
Is this video pre recorded and do you still read comments
All videos are pre-recorded? Unless you mean like before the break, in which yes. No I don’t believe he reads comments on his break since he doesn’t even leave any
Day 680 and 681 of telling Tyler that he never finished his minecraft series and that he should finish it.
Exactly 2 weeks to my birthday. Also, I watched the new predator movie today, "Prey", its pretty good.
Day 640 and 641 of agreeing
Yeah heard that one was supposed to be alright
I respect your dedication
Bananas
Day 368 and 369
Never heard there was a new predator movie
@@frujey well there is
First
Someone beat you by 20 seconds
10 seconds too late my friend
Not sure how much I like the new changes, they seem overkill. Makes getting a fun run nearly impossible.
Hard mode is only optional and if Tyler wants more fun runs in the future he will do something easier
