Once you’ve chosen your main class in Backpack Battles you dive straight into the action, trying to put together the best gear for the next battle. But as your collection starts to grow a tougher decision looms as you try to decide between all the best Ranger subclasses in Backpack Battles.
All available subclasses for Pyromancer in Backpack Battles
Due to the massive random effects at play in Backpack Battles rather than there being a best subclass, there is a range to pick from depending on how your gear collection has rounded out when they become available (usually around Battle 6).
| Subclass | Item | Item Effect |
| Beastmaster | Big Bow of Treats | Gain 2 random buffs every 4 seconds. Food in star spots triggers 5 percent faster (up to 100 percent). Friends of the Forest can appear in the shop. All pets have a 30 percent chance to activate twice. |
| Lifebinder | Yggdrasil | Start: Gain 1 Mana and 1 Regen for each starred Nature item. Use 5 Mana to Heal 5 and cleanse 2 debuffs. |
| Hunter | Piercing Arrow | Starred weapons deal 30 percent crit damage and remove 5 Armor on a crit. When the item activates there's a 40 percent chance to gain 1 Luck. |
| Pathfinder | Poison Ivy | Each starred Nature item gives a 5 percent chance to resist defuffs. When you gain 2 Spikes, inflict 2 Poison. If the opponent reaches 19 Poison they take +20 percent damage. |
| Grovekeeper | Maga Clover | Generate 2 Lucky Clovers when you enter the shop. Sale chance +8 percent. Unique item chance +20 percent. If you reach 20 Luck gain 40 random buffs. |
What is the best Ranger subclass in Backpack Battles?
Your Backpack Battles playstyle and luck to this point in the run-through will play heavily on your decision of which Ranger subclass to take when the opportunity presents itself. Here are the scenarios you’re likely to find yourself in as a Ranger and the subclasses I’d choose in each of them.
- If you’ve got a solid but unremarkable Ranger and are looking for direction, Grove Keeper is a great pick. The guarantee of Lucky Clovers opens up some good crafting opportunities, the Luck buff is great, and better chances in the store bodes well for an extended run.
- It’s relatively easy to go down the spikes/Poison route which makes Pathfinder a regular favorite of mine. However, I’d avoid this if you’re already low on Hearts as it is relatively easy to counter, meaning you’ll likely win bouts easily but flame out in a few as well.
- If you have a strong attack built up and a small amount of mana generation, Lifebinder can make you unstoppable. As long as you’re putting out enough damage already, the healing and cleansing on offer here will get you over the line in a lot of battles.
