The Shiv + Whetstone Combo You've All Been Waiting For! - Backpack Hero

[@Milenos]

''im not an assassin'' said with 4 shiv and a sharpen dagger.

[@coolaydan1786]

The "Let me sharpen my 10 blades then I'll jab you with them" build.

[@EmilyGamerGirl]

11:00 Yeah, you could have, which is why that was a bad spot to use it. It lets you create a new "room" in any space on the map you click, which can help you skip around enemies, or get to both sides of a pick-one-path.

[@splinterskulll]

Yeah I don’t think he realized you have to place it yourself and instead put it there by mistake thinking it would open like a secret area

[@Schilani]

@@splinterskulll To be fair, the game is very dumb about this thing. Because it always shows an arrow at some point on the map, which usually would suggest that it creates a new path where the arrow is pointing at. There is really nothing to suggest that you can just ignore the arrow and choose any spot you want.

[@splinterskulll]

@@Schilani oh yeah I didn’t realize how it actually worked either until i read this comment

[@tundralwhisper7345]

Quick note for builds like this: You can right-click items in combat that have multiple uses, and can then select "Use max times" (or something similar iirc). Could be more time efficient than manually clicking a weapon / whetstone / shield half a dozen times every turn.

[@Schilani]

I feel like it's still mostly faster to just spam click whatever you want to use, unless you have really ridiculous amounts of energy. Because it feels very slow to rightclick the item and then select that tiny line of text.

[@DanielGonzalez-pg6pc]

tyler never fails to make me whet and shiv myself

[@ThatOneGuyTOG.]

Ah yes, the british build

[@Jehty_]

I know comments like this shouldn't bother me but they do. Thanks to people like you who repeat jokes like that over and over again people start to take that as a fact. When in fact for example the US has a lot more stabbings then Britain (of course per capita).

The day Tyler uploads backup hero is a happy day

[@kooskoos1234]

The hero we needed (one that makes backups for you)

[@morphious86.]

i was waiting for tyler to see the potential of machete but he never did. machete is 0 energy like the shiv, but attacks all enemies

[@johnylaw04]

I was shouting at the screen after that first fight.

[@stelaras22]

Love the work this team is doing on this channel (both Tyler and the editors)

[@firefox1731]

Am I the only one who saw "Vorpal Blade" and immediately thought of Shangri La Frontier at 17:53? I mean, probably unrelated, unless the blade was added in recently, but great reference or mere coincidence either way!

[@dom7899]

nope im i also thought of that banger of a manga when i saw that name

[@mrbluebell2735]

Archangel wings has another function. As it auto triggers independent of energy, it can clear hazards placed between them. Smoke or slime arw the safest to clear in this manner. It's a godsend on CR8 in order use any object outside of a program line. Be it another weapon or another instance of block.

[@Tote_Mich]

I’m so excited, Satchel’s my favorite character

[@spqr2500]

Purse, Tote, Satchel…why did it take me so long to realize!😅

[@oceanbeans8546]

Hey tyler. I just wanted to say thank you for all the enjoyment you give me. I've been watching since you still recorded from under your bunk bed years ago. I hope to see you continue to grow, improve and enjoy playing games and making videos

[@owlboy1-719]

Just commenting so Tyler gets boosted in the algorithm because its great content

[@SamLabbato]

satchel is probably my favorite character. can't wait for next episode

[@Thadius0]

With an all new character, comes all new mechanics. Besides how his backpack works, he finds different items, requiring a different build and mindset when you play him. He's got different strengths, and you can pick and choose between a few builds, but I hope you show off his main mechanic in your next video.

[@jesseklein4070]

tyler continually going "in case i need for research". FYI, you can right click an item to view available research that requires it if any still are incomplete.

[@darkfang347]

The secret passage allows you to pick a space. It can get you around bosses or allow you to take both sides of a choose your path.

[@AshernCaelia]

Have fun with Satchel! His backpack mechanic is very interesting!

[@atcatcatc]

0:50 I'm pretty sure the blade also refreshes the shivs

[@jimmimis6364]

no, it refreshes its self when you use the sivs

[@coltynstone-lamontagne]

Lol I love the way this build steamrolled everything! Looking forward to the next one!

[@toasterloh4156]

Aliensrock really is rocking these alien creatures in the caves!

I would love longer videos on this game. Can't wait till you play with all the characters

Loving the series

[@memesalldayjack3267]

nicely paced video, commenting to boost it in the algorithm and leaving a like

[@AveragealienWhocosplays-gj2tg]

I have been thinking about making stop motion figures for the backpack hero characters I think it would be fun to do

[@Schilani]

Well, go for it. That sounds like a pretty neat idea!

[@D4egon]

Super enjoying these videos tyler 🎉🎉

[@soninh4357]

A little helpful tip: it alway worth it to get the rage ring, you take 1 damage in exchange for free damage, and it super easy to heal back 1 or 2 hp making that ring one of the best item in the game. And become broken in bow and shiv build because of rage increase damage on every attack Edit: and i forgot to mention that it only get better the longer the fight go because of rage only go away by 1 each turn, stacking bunch of rage ring could get nasty real quick. Not to mention you can get regen on the black smith, turn it from a good item with small inconvinent to a literal weapon of god send from heaven. That thing is that good, im suprise the dev leave it only as a uncommon item

[@PotofGlue]

Jsyk if an item card has a magnifying glass in the corner you can use that item for research, and the yellow icon means you need that specific item for research Also you literally chose where to put the hidden passage lmao, it can be used to skip bosses

[@muhammetpoyraz4944]

I didn't knew I was waiting for this

[@erhixon773]

Can't wait for a structure build next

[@FeyTheBin]

The builder build.

[@chocolatier95]

remembering what happens to the town after building Purse's house 😐

[@MathewSan_]

Great video 👍🔝

[@CaTastrophy427]

Sachel's hard mode is a thing and is genuinely hard. The 5th character's hard mode is the only one I think is harder, Sachel just doesn't have much scaling or healing so the massively increased HP of the enemies sucks, and the nature of his gimmick makes passive block less powerful than it is for other characters - even Tote can scale damage and block better. Sachel's best block is a handful of haste-forged bricks. I should note that my favorites are, in order: Purse, Tote, 5th character, Satchel. The 4th character can burn in hell please and thank you, but the rest I all like a lot. Purse has a lot of variety so no two runs feel quite the same, Tote has the RNG that makes you have to think about each turn, 5th character is the definition of inventory management and forethought, and Satchel has enough different options that you can have fun with a lot of different runs, and two (technically 3 since Drums and Instruments are different item types FSR) pretty unique item types that make for fun builds. The problems with each of them: Purse - lacks a defining gimmick, which makes sense since she's kinda the vanilla option. Tote - lacks consistent healing and has too much focus on carvings, I wish they kept carving chests/shops and non-carving chests/shops entirely separate, not putting carvings into non-carving chests and non-carving shops. Also add more options to the carving carpenter, and/or add in the regular forge guy. 5th character - due to their gimmick, each turn ends up being pretty much the same as the previous turn without lucking into an active gear or two. There's no adapting your energy usage to what the enemy is doing, either you burst them down in one turn, have enough block every turn to block any damage they'd throw at you, or go mage build for scaling regen, then stall until you kill while at full HP. Also pretty much no healing besides things that give regen and the heal statues/post-boss healer. But hey, several of the easiest infinite damage combos and 2 of the game's only 3 ZTKOs. Satchel - as stated before, no scaling outside of certain hammers, and even that's kinda hard to call real scaling because the scaling is very much limited (without a *LOT* of duct tape, at least). Limited block options due to his gimmick, and healing isn't as common for him as for most of the other characters.

[@alt-q1y]

You should check out "Die in a Dungeon", it's a die based roguelike I feel like is right up your alley.

[@jarzz3601]

the secret passage item best use is getting both routes at the choose one things but most of the time best to just sell it for the 17 gold

[@erhixon773]

Just noticed that the characters with backpacks have names related to it. Purse, Tote, Satchel, Parcel etc

Better yet: Purse's parents are Prada and Louis, which are also related to bags in some way. (Louis being from Louis Vuitton)

[@scyfrix]

I'm still not sure what the use case of that shortcut map is. Most of the time you just get crap like that. Seems more useful to just sell it.

[@Jehty_]

Can't you use it to get to those places that disappear after a certain amount of steps?

[@teutates1989]

@@Jehty_ you can access "collapsed " passages. So you can get both choices when you have that item

[@scyfrix]

@@Jehty_ In theory, maybe? But it's a lot more reliable to sprint directly towards those if you want them. You can also access both parts of a collapsing path, but that's assuming the shortcut actually gets placed there and not somewhere totally redundant. It's just too unreliable, and 17 gold or trading with the shady rat is almost always more useful.

​@@teutates1989is it ever worth it though? I'd rather have the 17 gold from the sale in 95% of the cases

Sometimes this game is a sunny day before a horde of multi attacking cat bandits ruin it. Other days it just gives things that become more broken with time. Case in point. Had game with Purse. Dropped a shuriken bag that creates more with energy. Well and good. Game gives 2 more. Now I'm ninja happy. Then the orange bombstone relic dropped and the game becomes a clickfest of death.

[@GoodTato]

Why not put the archangel wings on the whetstone? I mean you only miss out on two slots. Edit: I forgot it disables the item for 1 turn🤦‍♂

You get another legendary of the same kind. It can't upgrade past the highest level of an item class, so like for structures, the highest rarity is Rare, so I once traded a roof and got a roof back haha

[@omegahaxors9-11]

17:54 "It goes snicker-snack" That one's a deep cut, it's the error handler phrase for Halfbreadchaos' speech-to-text-to-speech when it messes up.

[@normieguy3803]

Whilst that would be really cool, I feel it’s much more likely to be a reference to the line “The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!” in the classic nonsense poem “The Jabberwocky” that first coined both the word “vorpal” (which is simply a nonsense word with no definition, the word has been ascribed meaning in the English language later down the line based on the context of the poem) and also the concept of a “vorpal sword” that is especially adept at decapitation/instantly killing, which is a concept that lots of fantasy media has also taken in (Vorpal Sword is an item in D&D for example, and allows a chance to instantly decapitate foes).
