I was thinking the exact same thing. You can fire 6 arrows from a normal shield. And 8 from the square one. I wonder if that relic combos with the new shield that activates adjacent shields. You'd end up with an amazing defence/offense build.
Let me explain the arrow bug, the game adds 0.5 rage to the explosive arrow because the multipliers are half as eficient on it, but the problem is how rage is stored, all buffs are stored in integers, wich means it can not have decimal point, so it gets 0.5 rounded down, so basically it adds 0 rage, unless you can add another buff to the arrow wich will increase that 0.5 to 1 it will never add rage, and then the game decays buffs wich will mean that 0 rage becomes -1, then it will check if you have any buffs at 0 wich you don't have, it is at -1, so you will actually lose damage because that number will never be 0 and the game doesn't check for numbers less than 0, only for 0
@@zusukoriotomo You can actually test it really easily if you get the forge - weapon and give rage to any 50% weapon, leave it at 0.5 rage, attack one time and pass turns without attacking (so you don't reset the buff) and you will notice it goes down every turn, if you attack once the buff jumps from any negative number back to 0, it happened to me and I'm studying to be a software engineer so I belive I would know a little xD
When you do builds that activate multiple weapons at a time like an arrow build and you get rage on something, you can get more damage each turn if you make sure that the arrow with rage is activated first.
It's not save scumming! It was expected behavior for the explosive arrow to only get 0.5 rage. It was NOT expected that the -1 rage decay each turn would make you go negative instead of resetting to 0. :p Don't worry about it. (but thank you to future Sifd for cutting off past Sifd's rant, haha)
Fox rapier with archangel armor is insane, it give block, so with infinite scaling haste, you attack and block at the same time. With a stopwatch you also scale attack a little.
@@smarkwell8590 thing is, practically none of the new textures go well with each other, with the UI theme, or with the art style for the enemies/player. The archangel armor did get better though.
the 2 arrow crossbow/manabow+ring of doom build was already better builds for endless, the only time the arrowspawm was better was just before endless at molten core(old version) if you amassed enough arrows and got the correct relics by then and this builds balanced by being a glass cannon with very little to no room for defensive items and each arrow doing less dmg per arrow the more arrows you had. The king/queen cleaver nerf only makes it harder and more dependend of getting the shield relic and does nothing to nerf the crazy late output of amassed king cleaver with the relic that gives you +3 in the turn for every activation a weapon plus cheafs hat that is by far the best build in game. Also RIP crossbow got double nerfed, now can only trigger a single arrow and the arrow only gets half of the buffs.
@@Horadic crossbow did not get double nerfed. It still fires all arrows in a direction, and it does not reduce poison, so it is still good with poison arrows [?]
hahahah we just get used to it huh, it's a pretty common sifd moment to not notice something or forget about something completely for a moment while he's also optimising
sifd, im going through a hard time right now, but you, your personality and your videos are the only that keep me smiling. keep going on with your good work. i bet you have plenty potential to grow more. and one last thing, maybe one last run warm snow? great game and you are smart and good enough to make showcases right now :) kind greetings from germany!!
Hang in there! It will get better with time. Been there multiple times and most likely will be back there plenty of times in the future. You do matter.
If you get the chance, try using the ethereal arrow wand and getting the bomb relic (Weapons deal 500% damage but are destroyed after use) It's incredibly strong, I managed to deal ~1500 damage in a single turn!
Sifd: Throws away 'remove curse item' after not using it to remove the curse it came with. Also Sifd: gets curses immediately after he could have removed with it.
About the curse shive in past you had an acersorry that allowed to detroy curse and gain 1 energy and shiv is 0 energy cost so it could be used as energy maker and use enemy curse (as fuel) as well
I've been playing on the browser, and I have not been able to see the choice that you get at the beginning of each run? Are you running on a different browser, or a downloadable version?
If you get the stopwatch as a relic Get it. It makes all your weapons turn into that brutal spear weapon that gets +1 damage per attack but instead of it ending after the turn ending its at the end of combat instead which makes it infinitely better
Explosive arrow giving -0.5 rage because of 50% decrease is very interesting.. The crooked arrow, one use would be if bow is hirozintal, and you place that arrow to point to the right with free empty spaces, but then it's still less damage then normal arrow per empty space...
The crooked arrow is better because, it takes up 2 rows, i.e., 2 rows get 1+ damage. so could do 12 base damage, where as a normal arrow only takes up 1 row or 1+ damage per empty space.
i always enjoy backpack hero vid expecialy from you sir :) , and yet still havent find a way to save file again, because i cant save my run after few updates ago :v and thank you sir for picking "i want to become an ancher"
agree. I don't mind/like the increase in dificulty what i'm disliking is the reduction on viable builds and paths to said builds. I'm expecting next patch my explodingblade build (summoner blade+shield relic[hopefully i didnt got iton my run]+3manaregen relic + bomb stone relic + hourglasss relic) to be gone, god forbid smaking mobs for 300dmg per turn after the 4th/3rd boss and having fun.
should have kept putting rage on the electric arrow and then wouldn't have had your rage arrow issue. half the time your 'token of energy' didn't even work as your helm prevented it.
Bandages could heal 3 and go up by 1 after set amount of combats, should be balanced around finishing regular game then it's can become a god tier item in endless until you just get one shot.
They devs took the balance out behind the shed and shot it with this update. Area two and I’m running into packs of 3 badgers that open by doing 9x3 hits. Straight up 81+ damage that ends the run on the spot.
On the last patch, you should be able to get it by pressing "M" on the start menu, if it didn't change. Beating the game/going to endless mode should do the same thing.
If you get the shield relic you should be able to get some more combo potential out of arrows. Short arrows get more. I need some more info on the new legendary shield because I have only seen it once but if I remember correctly it uses adjacent and diagonal shields. So combine that with the green shield relic and you can fill your backpack with short arrows and 1x2 shields to shoot about 28 arrows per turn
If only he knew that the shield relic turns the shield into a better bow
I was thinking the exact same thing. You can fire 6 arrows from a normal shield. And 8 from the square one.

... The negative 1 damage/arrow every time you fire is pretty bad. I guess you can offset it with rage or something?
@@ThAlEdison with rage or Soldier's Buckler that adds 1 damage to adjacent weapons on use:)

@@rodrigobaiao4836 if you had both it would scale cause +2 each use and only -1 from shield spirit

I haven‘t seen this fully yet, but the changes to Archery seem quite smart, It‘s not just spamming arrows anymore

Math for the regen items "n * (n+1) / 2"
For that 4 regen fish would be: 4 * (4+1) / 2 >> 4 * 5 / 2 >> 20 / 2 = 10
Bigger value example like 19 then: 19 * (19+1) / 2 >> 19 * 20 / 2 >> 380 / 2 = 190
sifd not realising he could move the bow one space over was such a mood
It's only been ten seconds and I'm already losing my mind. Just _move it over_ and put stuff behind it! Argh!

thanks, i can just add you are nice people! so even his community is awesome! thanks again you both :)
Honestly my favorite event is the OIOIOIOIOIOIOI event. No matter how many times Sifd encounters it he always makes me laugh 🤣
Same tbh
*Binary numbers*
Sidd: oioioioioioioioi
Never change sifd XD
The small arrow allows you to have more room for items that scale your arrows. Or just more items in general
If you get the chance, try using the ethereal arrow wand and getting the bomb relic (Weapons deal 500% damage but are destroyed after use)
It's incredibly strong, I managed to deal ~1500 damage in a single turn!
1:07:00 but sifd the simple solution is move your Bow and arrows up
Bro dont worry. I watch these when i should be sleeping, you can make 8h videos for all i care
Sifd: Throws away 'remove curse item' after not using it to remove the curse it came with.
Also Sifd: gets curses immediately after he could have removed with it.
Should have kept the vampire stone also.
Corporate needs you to find the difference between this picture and this picture : * Bow and arrow *
Sifd : they're the same picture
oh man imagine if he took the consumable rage item instead of the shield spirit.. even more scaling
About the curse shive in past you had an acersorry that allowed to detroy curse and gain 1 energy and shiv is 0 energy cost so it could be used as energy maker and use enemy curse (as fuel) as well

Damn text at top of screen, I mean I know he didn't need it but still.

Get it. It makes all your weapons turn into that brutal spear weapon that gets +1 damage per attack but instead of it ending after the turn ending its at the end of combat instead which makes it infinitely better

This game is showing the same signs as Peglin. The game is too hard, and they “fix” it by nerfing working builds while making enemies harder.

That's why I think the Club is a good early weapon, 2 slot 7 dmg +1 weak means that 3 hits and you're dealt 9 less damage by those
Yeah, certain enemies (summons, but some not summons) run away if you defeat the other enemies.
Now, I'm not sure about earlier, I've just been playing today.
WOOOO new backpack run!

Love this game!
this game is so addictive
Having a bow turned to the top on the bottom makes the backpack look like a lopsided teddy bear face that's unhappy.
Especially after the archangel armor became a nose. lmao
Shield spirit can shoot more arrows than ur bow
yeah i was lile.. waaait a minute.. u can shoot all around it.. AND get shields?!?. .thats busted!!
And also do 0 damage after a couple of turns because arrows each have low damage
On my run, i happen to get the rage on an arrow, belt of knives AND the stopwatch so the damage reduction wasnt a problem.
You can’t get a higher rarity relic btw, you will just lose the relic, remember?
the archangel and ninja costume combo is sadly fixed. no more infinite block.
Doesn't anyone notice that they have 4 arrows in their inventory all the time and can only use 3 of them?
1:25:36 weird click sound
1:23:00 your magic cap reduces your energy
there is The Keg power
The rare small arrow has not only become redundant but actually WORSE than the common one...Not a great mechanic rework for them.
"arrow bug"?
No no, it's not a bug... It's a feature!
the guy did a consumable build with no shielding and did not notice the potential of seasoning...
I really dislike this new archery but I do LOVE a poison arrow/crossbow "build" I had one time
I'm still waiting for mod inscription
Lol places it next to a shield
Honestly, i preferred the old bows. These seem more clunky and have less combo potential it seems.
If you get the shield relic you should be able to get some more combo potential out of arrows. Short arrows get more.
I need some more info on the new legendary shield because I have only seen it once but if I remember correctly it uses adjacent and diagonal shields. So combine that with the green shield relic and you can fill your backpack with short arrows and 1x2 shields to shoot about 28 arrows per turn
