Backpack Brawl – Nymphedora for Beginner

Quick Guide to Nymphedora

By Potato.

This is what I made for helping Nymphedora beginner.

Unique Tier List

S

• Final Blow: Strong and can grow Crit Damage for many weapons. Best for burst, tempo-burst build.
• Poison Arrow: Strong, good and secured from Thorns by using ranged weapons. Good for all pace of builds.

A

• Reptile Stalker: Strong, straightforward and easy to build because high Haste is always good. Vulnerable to Thorns and need offensive growth (Damage, Empower, Crit Damage).
• If you really fast, but every hit is weak, that’s not good, common mistake for beginner
• Learn to optimize this unique better by having fast kill time. Even this item helps you at longer fight, but improve it by kill faster is better.
• Dreadleaf: Strong and mostly guaranteed win for longer fight. This unique shines when the fight takes longer so the debuff inflict is high, fast and undeniable. Works well with tempo-mid range, long fight build.

B

• Infinity Scope: The Star positions are somehow complex to optimize. The Hunter’s Mark buff it gives can already obtain from other sources. So itself isn’t that needed for Nymph. But can be effectives for All-out burst, tempo-burst builds which use lots of weapons and less spaces from defensive items or foods.

D

• Shadow Cloak: a bit buff but still bad.

FAQ

Please give advice about early, mid, late rounds. What should I get or avoid?

Despite the game is frequently update every 1-2 week. We need to continuously adapt and re-learn.

• 1-2 Light Bow for our base weapons (I prefer 2).
• Fishing rod is good at it base stats and economy. Not a must, just good to have.
• 1 banana could enable to use 3 weapons efficiently (if you don’t level your weapons until reduce Stamina you may need 1 extra apple).
• you need to keep an eye on your Stamina bar during play.
• Remind that Heater Shield and Skull can counter in early.

Prefer Food

• Banana
• Pitahaya
• Sausage
• Corny corn
• Donut
• If you can go fish: Tuna, Pink Tail, Willowfin (Area11 and above)

Flower is Good at Early

• Night Dahlia: Cheap and gives Regeneration. Can be combine into Mana Potion then make Mana Dagger which is very good
• Nightshade: Inflict Poison to top up early game dmg. Mid-late round can combine with Life Essence to make Red Widow which is a very good pet
• Rose: Instant Luck and with level upgrade has chance to grow Luck. Very good for building Crit Chance along with Eagle Eye Amulet. Can be use until late round.
• Ginseng if you had high level upgrade. It’s very strong and OP in early game as it heals up a lot. Can combine with Rose to Bloodthorn later for some exotic build or counter melee a bit.

During mid round, if we have item which can regenerate Mana like Tuna, Fishing Rod and fish. We can use.

• Holy Essence for healing Health.
• Magic Essence for random buff.

All of Nymph Stats are Useful

From her all-round good, newbie could lost their focus and build somewhat confusing.

With experience and imagination -> help you at improvisation and adaptive gameplay to shift or build toward the best you can in that round RNGs.

At early round. Should we combine Wilderness potion? or keep Dragonleaf?

• Depending on game momentum. If you feel you lose a lot or bad RNGs. You may combine into Wilderness potion for incredible power spike.

Try to have at least 1 extra Dragonleaf for duplicating itself and 1 extra water potion keeping for Wrath potion or Strong Health Potion later.

About popular braindead build (Wrath potions + Short Bow + Dragonleaves)

Is it that strong? Should I build or try to spam it?

• It does strong, but not so successful and not easy to achieve. You can’t guaranteed to have 2 magic belts and 2 wrath potions everytime.
• In area which people build good enough(Now Area 15). So, there’re many better version of that and stronger. You just need to fight with strong opponent or try better version of you to surpass.
• Everyone has the access to wrath potions, belts, invulnerability from Speed Essence lots of healing and defensive mechanics and also the debuff. Use it wisely.

How the build itself dominate is like you always build at score 50 out of 100.

But this build is an exam for build those has 75-80 score. If you don’t always optimized your build at highly efficient. It’ll be a tall wall to surpass.

If you always fighting strong people and average people in area always build about 70-90 score. This build is typically fair and not so strong in overall progression.
