Best Backpack Battles Pyromancer Builds

Pyromancers in Backpack Battles wield the power of fire, offering a diverse range of builds. While early-game builds are straightforward, mastering the later stages requires optimized strategies. This guide delves into the most effective Pyromancer builds, focusing on diverse approaches for maximum impact throughout the game.

Dancing Dragon Phoenix Build (Ashbringer Subclass)

This high-risk, high-reward build prioritizes maximum damage by sacrificing health. Employing the Dark Lantern and Phoenix drastically reduces your health pool but boosts your damage output as Heat stacks rise. Critically, this build requires robust sustainability through items like Glowing Crowns and Chili Goobert for quick HP recovery.

• Dark Lantern
• Phoenix
• Dancing Dragon
• Chili Goobert
• Sun Shield
• Two Glowing Crowns
• Two Draconic Orbs
• Two Mana Orbs
• Four Burning Coals minimum
• Flame equipped on all slots

Spear Sword Phoenix Build (Ashbringer Subclass)

This build strikes a balance between high damage scaling and defensive capabilities. Eliminating Dancing Dragon necessitates other weapon choices for scaling. Molten Spear and Burning Blade synergize to enhance Heat generation and utilization. The build includes substantial defensive items for improved survivability.

• Dark Lantern
• Phoenix
• Chili Goobert
• Sun Armor with Amethysts
• Two Draconic Orbs
• Flute
• Three Corrupted Helmets
• Molten Spear with Sapphire
• Burning Blade with Sapphire

• Flame equipped on all slots

Double Phoenix Burning Torch Build (Ashbringer Subclass)

This build prioritizes sustained damage scaling through continuous Heat generation. The primary focus is maintaining sufficient Heat stacks to utilize the Sun Armor’s healing and Burning Torch’s damage increase. This necessitates a high Heat generation rate early on to survive. Sustainability is limited, forcing the build to prioritize damage.

• Two Phoenixes
• Burning Torch
• Dark Lantern
• Chili Goobert
• Burning Blade
• Four Draconic Orbs minimum
• Two Corrupted Helmets
• Sun Armor with Rubies
• Banana
• Flute
• Topazes in all inventory slots
• Flame equipped on all slots

Lightsaber Burning Banner Build (Crusader Subclass)

This defensive build emphasizes survivability by stacking Sun Armor and incorporating the Burning Banner. While Heat generation is slower, the focus is on enduring through Nightfall, maximizing damage potential by that point. The Lightsaber’s blinding effect enhances survivability.

• Lightsaber
• Two Sun Armors
• Burning Banner
• Chili Goobert
• Two Corrupted Helmets
• Six Draconic Orbs
• Phoenix
• Heart Container
• Burning Blade
• Flame equipped on all slots

Dragon Trainer Build (Scalewarden Subclass)

This build capitalizes on buffing from Whelps. Instead of solely focusing on Heat generation, the Dragon Trainer build leverages the numerous buffs from Whelps to significantly boost damage and durability. Weapons contribute to damage, but the bulk of the power comes from maximizing the number of Whelps.

• Dragon’s Nest
• Phoenix
• Emerald Whelp
• Two Ruby Whelp
• Three Sapphire Whelp
• Amethyst Whelp
• Two Chili
• Burning Torch
• Three Draconic Orbs
• Two Strong Health Potions
• Strong Heroic Potion
• Flame equipped on all slots

Frostbite Pyro (Cryomancer Subclass)

This innovative build transforms the Pyromancer into a Cryomancer, employing Cold to inflict debuffs on enemies. Heat generation remains important, balancing Cold-based attacks with Heat-generating items. It’s a unique playstyle demanding strategic Heat management to leverage Cold debuffs effectively.

• Frozen Flame
• Two Spell Scrolls: Frostbolt
• Frozen Buckler
• Frostbite
• Ice Armor
• Ice Dragon
• Cap of Resilience
• Corrupted Helmet
• Burning Blade
• Two Draconic Orbs
• Two Bananas
• Sun Shield
• Sun Armor
• Flute
• Flame equipped on all slots

Firebender Gooberts (Firebender Subclass)

This build optimizes utilizing Chili Gooberts for consistent healing and buffing. Relying on Burning Torch and Burning Blade for damage, the focus is achieving massive damage from the Friendly Fire effect. The build’s survivability heavily relies on consistent Goobert healing and high Heat stacks.

• Three Chili Gooberts
• Friendly Fire
• Two Golden Crowns
• Phoenix
• Burning Torch
• Burning Blade
• Sun Armor
• Two Mana Orbs
• Bananas
• Two Draconic Blades
• Flame equipped on all slots

Important Note: Each build requires ongoing item optimization to maximize survivability. Consumables, defensive equipment, and gemstones play critical roles in reaching and completing later Survival stages. Adjust these builds to accommodate specific in-game loot.
