Backpack Battles is a strategic and nuanced auto-battler with a variety of classes, items, and weapons to experiment with. With so many strategies and potential builds available, it can be hard to know which weapons to purchase.
Backpack Battles: All Recipes List
By combining certain weapons, armor, and potions, you can create new equipment. Here's a list of all the recipes in Backpack Battles.
These are some of the most powerful weapons in Backpack Battles, but much of the game's weaponry has a viable use case. However, many of these weapons are used in the mid-to-late game and can act as the cornerstone of many builds.
10 Darksaber
Scaling Damage That Synergizes With Mana Builds
Damage: | 7-12 (6.3/s) |
|---|---|
Stamina Cost: | 1.4 (0.9/s) |
Accuracy: | 95% |
Cooldown: | 1.5s |
Effect: | +0.5 Damage for Each Debuff on the Opponent. On Attack: Use 1 Mana to Inflict 1 Blind. |
By combining the Lightsaber and the Corrupted Crystal, players can create the Darksaber, a powerful weapon that's not always the right choice. In some cases, players may want to stick with the Lightsaber itself, which uses Regeneration to inflict Blind, instead of using Mana.
However, if players find themselves with a lot of Mana gain, the Darksaber is the way to go. Firstly, it consumes less Mana than the Lightsaber does Regeneration. Secondly, the Darksaber's damage-per-second is much better, and the scaling from applying debuffs works well with some of the more powerful items in the game.
9 Manathirst
A Highly Accurate Weapon That Synergizes With Mana Gain And Vampirism
Damage: | 5-7 (4.3/s) |
|---|---|
Stamina Cost: | 0.5 (0.4/s) |
Accuracy: | 200% |
Cooldown: | 1.4s |
Effect: | On Hit: Gain 1 Mana. 20 Mana Gained: Steal 10 Life, Increase by 1 For Each Vampirism. |
Players building Mana gain will definitely want to keep an eye out for a Hungry Blade, which they can then build into this powerful sword with a Mana Orb. This highly accurate weapon not only grants the player Mana on every hit but is capable of stealing a dramatic amount of life from the opponent.
Furthermore, Manathirst counts as both a Magic item and a Vampiric item, making it a relatively versatile weapon of choice. With plenty of Mana Orbs and Blueberries, players can build into Moon Armor and the Moon Shield for a strong synergy, but even with just a little Mana gain, the Manathirst can be a powerful weapon.
8 Crossblades
A Strong Weapon With A Powerful Effect, And An Expensive Downside
Damage: | 9-12 (7/s) |
|---|---|
Stamina Cost: | 1 (0.7/s) |
Accuracy: | 100% |
Cooldown: | 1.5s |
Effect: | Start of Battle: The Starred Weapon Gains 10 Damage. The Highlighted Item Triggers 60% Faster. On Hit: Gain 1 Damage And Trigger 3% Faster. |
By combining the Hero's Longsword with the Falcon Blade, players can create this awkwardly-shaped weapon. The Crossblades are relatively powerful, with extreme scaling in battle via their on-hit effect. However, the Crossblades have a few downsides worth considering.
Backpack Battles: How To Get Spectral Dagger
If you're looking for a magical weapon in Backpack Battles that deals decent damage and penetrates enemy armor, here's how to get the Spectral Dagger.
Firstly, the Crossblades use a fair amount of Stamina. Secondly, while the Stamina cost of the Crossblades isn't through the roof, the issue is that it requires a second weapon to make use of its start-of-battle effect. This isn't a deal-breaker, though, as players can always use a low-stamina weapon or even a Dagger. Thirdly, the Crossblades take a lot of time and money to craft. However, if players have a high amount of maximum Stamina and Stamina regeneration, combining the Crossblades with another powerful weapon can be a brutal combination.
7 Belladonna’s Whisper
One Piece Of The Poison-Build Puzzle
Damage: | 6-9 (2.5/s) |
|---|---|
Stamina Cost: | 1.5 (0.5/s) |
Accuracy: | 85% |
Cooldown: | 3s |
Effect: | For Every 9 Damage Starred Weapon deals: Next Attack With Belladonna's Whisper Inflicts 1 Poison. Deals +0.5 Damage Per Poison on the Opponent. |
This combination of the Bow And Arrow and Pestilence Flask is a fairly easy-to-craft weapon that packs a lot of punch. Although Belladonna's Whisper uses a hefty chunk of Stamina for a relatively low amount of damage and has a massive three-second cooldown, its effect is particularly strong.
Belladonna's Whisper is the perfect weapon for poison builds, and although it can be tough to pull off, it can do some serious damage. Players will need a high-damage weapon, preferably with a good critical-hit chance, in order to trigger this weapon's effect.
6 Blood Harvester
An Unwieldy Vampiric Weapon
Damage: | 8-14 (2.8/s) |
|---|---|
Stamina Cost: | 0.5 (0.1/s) |
Accuracy: | 90% |
Cooldown: | 4s |
Effect: | Starred Items Give +100% Vampirism. Attacks 5% Faster For Every Vampirism. |
While Vampirism is not always the best build to run, it can be extremely powerful with the right combination of items. Weapons such as Bloodthorne are usually the way to go, but the Blood Harvester can also be a formidable weapon in the right hands.
Notably, the Blood Harvester grants its starred items +100% Vampirism, allowing players to double down on the Vampirism build. Furthermore, despite its four-second cooldown, the 5% increase in attack speed per Vampirism can result in a ridiculously fast attack.
5 Busted Blade
A High-Cost, High-Reward Weapon
Damage: | 50-60 (11/s) |
|---|---|
Stamina Cost: | 5 (1/s) |
Accuracy: | 95% |
Cooldown: | 5s |
Effect: | Deals +4 Damage Per Empower. During Battle Rage: Decrease Stamina Usage to 3 and Cooldown to 3s. |
This Berserker-specific weapon is a powerful combination of the Impractically Large Greatsword and the Forging Hammer. This massive item takes up a lot of backpack space, costs an inordinate amount of Stamina to use, and dishes out massive amounts of damage.
Backpack Battle: How to Get Holy Spear
Elevate your ordinary spear to a Godly weapon by transforming it into the Holy Spear in Backpack Battle. Here is how to get this item in the game.
Furthermore, the Busted Blade's effect is arguably one of the most powerful effects in the game. Not only is the Busted Blade's high damage further boosted by the player's Empower buffs, but Battle Rage reduces the Busted Blade's high Stamina cost to a mere three, and the same for the weapon's cooldown. With the right amount of Stamina regeneration, the Busted Blade can be a force to be reckoned with.
4 Fancy Fencing Rapier
A Luck-Focused Sword With Low Accuracy
Damage: | 10-16 (8.7/s) |
|---|---|
Stamina Cost: | 1 (0.7/s) |
Accuracy: | 60% |
Cooldown: | 1.5s |
Effect: | On Hit: Use 3 Luck to Gain 3 Damage. On Miss: Gain 3 Luck. |
This Luck-focused weapon works particularly well with the Ranger class, especially when combined with the Mega Clover subclass. This weapon dishes out consistent damage at a relatively high speed, though at the cost of low accuracy.
However, missing attacks with the Fancy Fencing Rapier results in gaining Luck, which in turn increases the Rapier's accuracy over time. When combined with other Luck-focused items, the Fancy Fencing Rapier can become a deadly weapon.
3 Critwood Staff
A Supportive Tool
Damage: | 5-7 (3.3/s) |
|---|---|
Stamina Cost: | 1 (0.6/s) |
Accuracy: | 90% |
Cooldown: | 1.8s |
Effect: | On Attack: Use 4 Mana to Deal +7 Damage and for the next 1s, All Player Attacks are Critical. |
While the Critwood Staff's damage output may not be too impressive, it's certainly nothing to balk at. However, this weapon's effect is extremely powerful, especially for builds with a good amount of Mana gain.
Mana gain is necessary to use the Critwood Staff effectively because every attack (even if it misses) uses up Mana. It's also important to have a few Stamina potions handy, in case players come up against an opponent with a lot of sustainability.
2 Fortuna’s Grace
A Slow Weapon With Powerful Scaling
Damage: | 6-9 (2.5/s) |
|---|---|
Stamina Cost: | 1.5 (0.5/s) |
Accuracy: | 85% |
Cooldown: | 3s |
Effect: | Start of Battle: Gain 2 Luck. Starred Weapon Crits: Next Attack With Fortuna's Grace Hits Twice. |
Fortuna's Grace doesn't look like much on the surface, with a relatively low damage output, low accuracy, and lengthy three-second cooldown. However, this weapon is the cornerstone of many Luck-focused Ranger builds, working particularly well with the Mega Clover subclass.
However, Fortuna's Grace isn't powerful enough to carry a build on its own. Players will need to invest in a second weapon with a high chance to critically hit in order to trigger the effect of Fortuna's Grace.
1 Bloodthorne
A Versatile Weapon With Consistent Damage And Defensive Capabilities
Damage: | 4-8 (3.5/s) |
|---|---|
Stamina Cost: | 1.8 (1.1/s) |
Accuracy: | 90% |
Cooldown: | 1.7s |
Effect: | On Hit: Use 1 Regeneration to Gain 1 Vampirism and 1 Spike(s). Deals +1 Damage Per Spike(s) and Vampirism. |
This combination of the Hungry Blade and Thorn Whip makes for a weapon that's capable of carrying players through the early game and into the late game. The Bloodthorne deals consistent damage, but its effect is its most powerful asset, turning stacks of Regeneration into Vampirism and Spikes. When in the right hands, the Bloodthorne provides massive sustainability and damage, making it the perfect blend of offense and defense.
Although the Bloodthorne is a powerful weapon, it does require a high amount of Regeneration. This means players should take as many Healing Herbs as they can early on, along with the Yggdrasil Leaf subclass if playing as the Ranger.
