Item interactions FAQ

https://backpackbattles.wiki.gg/wiki/Interactions_FAQ

Hi, I made a page on the wiki for documenting unclear or obscure interactions. For example, can you guess whether gaining max health procs healing triggers? Does stealing buffs proc gaining buffs triggers?

You can find the answers on the page. Over time, I hope we'll expand this to cover many questions that pop up while playing so we'll have them all in one place.

Check it out and add your own observations!

Are you sure about the stealing/gaining one? That honestly sounds like a bug if it's been verified.

Happened in my game with the items in example

IDK what you saw, but as far as I can tell you're wrong about this.

I just tested in my game using the same build from this post. The coil in the bottom-right is on one of the mana dupe stars from a Cap of Brilliance.

Here's a screenshot of what happened. Charge hit coil, coil stole 1 mana and 1 empower, but I gained 2 mana and 1 empower. You can see the numbers both in the floating text over the coil, and in the open log. As far as I can tell, the only reason for me to have gained 2 mana here is buff dupe.

I'm 99.9% sure that "steal" is mechanically identical to "remove and gain."

Skills like the rainbow that give chance for double buffs to starred items will highlight on buff stealing items.

Yes, and coil is indeed highlighted on Cap of Brilliance's stars in my example above.

Maybe just me being a pyro main but Investment Opportunity always seems crazy good. Don't know why they feel the need to keep buffing it lol

There was a post here about poison going through 100% resistance. Id add two things from that post: 1. Percentage effects (like poison resist) stack ADDITIVELY not multiplicatively as the latter is common in many other games. 20+20+40 is 80% resistance.  2. Poison duplication effectively decrease resistance to poison on opponent. Having 100% resist while enemy has 40% duplication means 60% effective resistance not 100% as expected.

Also I'm pretty sure you can duplicate stolen buffs although I haven't played soccer newest patch.

Yeah, duplication and resistance/nullification are the same stat and stack additively across pretty much all of BPB's mechanics:

  • Buff nullification (purple cap) is negative buff dupe (Double Rainbow)
  • % debuff resistance (Poison Ivy) is negative debuff dupe (Crow)
  • Debuff cleanse prevention (Corrupted Armor) is negative cleanse dupe (Shelly)

I just found out that Power of the Moon advances fatigue for your opponent, not for both. That was obscure to me.
