The Dumbest Crit-a-Cola Strategy Ever [TF2]

  • Like any good meal, TF2's magic spells are greatly enhanced by spaghetti, spices, and a refreshing can of soda. Except in this case, the spaghetti is only figurative and the soda is radioactive. Well, it still makes for a fun strategy! For those of you who aren't aware, spells are affected by mini-crits for some reason. While this wouldn't matter if there wasn't a class who could become mini-crit boosted on demand, it just so happens that there is one of those! Or three, technically, but the Buff Banner and Cleaner's Carbine proved much less interesting to do it with. (And no, you can't cast spells while under the Buffalo Steak effect, I already tried that too.)

    This video made me realize the reason the short circuit projectile can't be crit boosted but _can_ be mini-crit boosted is because it's taken from a halloween spell, which has the same properties when it comes to mini-crits and crits.

    So according to my analysis, this video, at minimum, took a week to record/edit, because I recognize 8:23 from your spell tier list video, where you spycheck a scout, bump into a spyro, and then blow yourself up. Also the spy was wearing a miles edgeworth thingy.

    Unrelated but the bot problem actually sort of make it easier for me to complete contract on some specific maps(koth_mapleridge), and the strategy is basically
    1. bonk scout
    2. Drink bonk to avoid place where bot can see you
    3. Go to underworld
    4. Stay there until you got minify
    5. Use minify right before you leave underworld
    6. Just throw whatever spell you got at bots(best ones are actually skeleton surprisingly)
    7. Repeat
    This actually makes it extremely easy to topscore over the bots

      Misinformation. Minicrit boost is 1.3 times damage and only removes distance falloff and rampup, not blast radius falloff. It's just that the fireball spell has no blast radius falloff to start with.
