Haven't finished watching but slime builds are way better on the Spinventor because he buffs unique balls. So that 1/2 lightning slime ball can actually do some damage on its own when he has it.
Can confirm, it's a riot on Spinventor and a real hard thing to resist when they give you a (mostly useless but still bulky) Bounce Slime ball right there at the start.
You're also more likely to get slime related orbs and relics. the different classes all have different things, but tom only likes playing the basic guy who has access to everything.
@@waterierStone The basic Peglin actually no longer has access to everything. They changed it at the end of December in order to "simplify [the] new user experience and make synergies easier".
9:20 whoever does this music needs an award. I’ve heard it so many times but it just hit me tonight how incredible it is. 10/10 fight music. Catchy, repeatable, non-monotonous, engaging. You want to hear it, and it’s rewarding. Edit: coming back to say that I just noticed it’s also based on a call-and-response which is even more tied to the gameplay.
Not sure if you've ever gotten the achievement, but if you had actually drained the Ballista of it's soldiers, you would have gotten an achievement there. So close!
Couple of things to note that Tom weren't sure/aware of: There is a poison slime that deals 10 dmg per poison-slimed peg to the targeted enemy after their turn. This got a couple of kills such as on Avogadro the Mole. The event with the pegling chef is only in act 2. If you don't find that event before the boss, you might as well use the Egg. The Cornelius looking shadow monster at 26:03 takes 1 damage each time a peg is hit, hence why it died so quickly with all those balls.
The Ballista boss's attacks actually making it _EASIER_ for Tom to aim his shots was a very unexpected development. What a wacky tanky slime grind through Hell, with RNGeezus taking the wheel from Tom's control at seemingly every possible turn. Maybe the real friends were the Egg that Tom took along the way, because the Squirrel couldn't stay for the full journey. A big KA-CHOW!! for Splat Orb, the hero we needed to save us from this insanity.
18:37 Is it just me, or does the 3 mushrooms peg design actually look like a depressed groblin with closed eyes? The huge mushroom/2small ones near the end looks like a sleepy one as well
I still don't get the second half of generatorb. I know Tom hated the aiming but as an observer it really didn't seem to matter versus his normal aim 😂
@@ryan92084 Pretty sure all of the slime balls get the same upgrade, where the # of balls hit before something gets slimed goes down. Generatorb particularly is 8 -> 6 -> 4. The slime itself always has the same effect, unless there are relics that change it.
honestly your damage per shot was kind of insane given how many 1 attack orbs you had. Any buffs whatsoever to the per-peg damage would've scaled pretty well with lightning slime I think. I just want to believe lightning slime is good tbh. I might steal that idea.
The chains i think are built for a confusion/multiball build The power of them is that they're not multiball; they duplicate the ball as you throw it, which means you end up with twice the balls after the multiball effect kicks in
I don't know if it's true in this video, but Generatorb slime does more zaps if the peg is upgraded, so that first relic you got was really the most helpful.
When fishing for chef with the egg its probably not a good idea to take the '?' is more likely to be a treasure relic. Unless I missunderstand the wording and it just means not an enemy.
The ?s are the _only_ way to find the chef. ?s are random events... They may be combats, elite fights (above some low cruciball) or any/all other events.
@@erikkeever3504 They mean that they think Tom should avoid "Orbert's Story" (the third relic in this video's build) which makes ? rooms have a higher chance to be a treasure room.
Would you mind doing a couple cruciball runs so we can learn some tips for them? I feel like your banter could help me find the will to try and actually beat all the cruciballs
Daily reminder that Tom is an amazing person and to thank him for all he has done/will do - Day 1528 Damn, hell's build indeed XD was hype for a slime build, and it was a good one at that, but jesus that Constricting Chains really outweighed the build XD good god. Hopefully we can see a more relaxed slime build in the future though :D am surprised Tom managed to make it, even if in alot of pain Awww, damn, poor Gay Slime, will he ever survive? 18:37 Ok, loving the Mushrooms and Slimes, I will say though, that map, is it a mushroom, or an angry bald guy with big ears and nose? (Also, giving me Ferengi vibes XD) Damn, seems Constricting Chains really is an issue with enemies like the Ghost :S
the rubber slime's durability effect is actually pretty useful, esp with the +5 buff to slimed pegs bc it can buff pegs multiple times before they break
Fun run. But I have to say, that squirrel nerf has to be one of the dumbest things I´ve seen in a long time. I get that it was too strong, but just increase the number of pegs needed before it triggers or limit it per fight, not per bloody run.
The Constricting Chains is really bad imo. It used to be even worse without the Multiball, but it's still not great. If the 4 directions didn't just include two directions and their opposite it might be a decent relic, but it's just to much of a gambit to warrent taking.
I know silly slimes and this is it. In fact,I was voted "Most likely to be isakai'd into a silly slime" in high school, so I think I know what I'm talking about. 😎
6 minutes in and Tom is already talking shit about a ball and he didn't even fully read the description to understand that it works best when pegs are getting upgraded. Here's hoping the rest of the video isn't the same.
Tom: Takes relic that gives slimes +5 Also Tom: Ignores every free slime orb that comes his way, effectively nullifying the effect for 99% of the run. I honestly don't care that much but bruh you just suck sometimes and there is no defending you.
"If only we had more money, we'd have been in such a better spot", same tom, same

I really wish they'd add another floor to this game, the builds seem like they just start to become fun and come together and then bam runs over.
Yeah plus it seems hard to lose at this point.
@@exoruneblackrage8170he’s also playing on lower cruciball in this run. Once you hit 10+ it ramps up in difficulty REALLY fast.
Maybe they should add an endless mode where you have to go through every single boss

@ almost like a boss rush with some levels in between to build up a deck
the chains would probably be very good with the cursed mask since confusion breaks you out of the four directions the chains allow
"I'm in hell right now."
You've done that to yourself!
Game: You can only fire in FOUR directions!
Tom: Hah! I'm only going to fire in TWO anyway!
Blammo! Kachow! Bonk. Tonk. I want a soundboard all of various Tom-isms and sound effects~
HOT. DOG. BABY!
Just like granmama used to say
00:10 "Kind of want to see where this go- oooooh!" (he says, literally being distracted by the "Distraction Reaction" relic)

"this run literally caused me to figuratively lose my mind" A sentence only a man who's lost his mind would utter.
The devs need to rethink the squirrel, went from being over powered to being kinda worthless later in game
the moment Tom picked the chains, I think I made an audible "FUUUUCK" as vivid flashbacks came to me of the one and only use where I used this relic
18:37 Is it just me, or does the 3 mushrooms peg design actually look like a depressed groblin with closed eyes?
The huge mushroom/2small ones near the end looks like a sleepy one as well
Tom talking about his dwindling squirrels just makes me think of the "all my apes gone" tweet.
Nothing like having a build spool up just in time for the very last fight. lol
The generatorb at the end actually seemed pretty powerful because it would spark chain reactions that hit a whole bunch of pegs and slime
8:54 the slime is flowing again!
I still don't get the second half of generatorb. I know Tom hated the aiming but as an observer it really didn't seem to matter versus his normal aim 😂
I think the second half of generatorb is the more you upgrade the slimed peg the more lightning hits other pegs
@@thacien868 that's what i thought but it seemed like the 5 rated pegs were still only jumping one. Unless it means some other upgrade.

Great to see Tom enjoying himself so much :)
you would think Tom would appreciate being relieved of the responsibility of aiming!
I love the Peglin videos!

I see peglin, I poglin, and watch the video
Bonk, kertonk is such a great tomism and it's literally become part of my daily vocabulary ✨
Constricting Chains + Matrorbshka seems like it'd be pretty fun.

Also, forgot to mention, has the Orbelisk updated it's looks? Looks different to me
Honestly, confusion improved the aiming because it let you aim in a wider gradient of choices, which is a weird feeling
Mandatory Algorithmic Comment Because We Love Tom And The Editing xx
Please try another slime build with the Spinventor!
Tom, you should check out Cube Chaos. Its a fun rts style game that has loads of weird builds like Peglin, it feels like exactly your thing.
Tom Generatorb distance is increased by peg upgrades so the boss upgrade that upgrades pegs would work good for it
the rubber slime's durability effect is actually pretty useful, esp with the +5 buff to slimed pegs bc it can buff pegs multiple times before they break
hi tom,
sorry for bothering but i wanted to ask if you could turn the screen shake down?
Why were some of the attacks missing him?
The Squirrel nerf was too much, maybe they should have limited it to 10 bonus orbs per level or something.
Doing a slime run amd not having the only aim in 4 directions would probably be fun so i hope you try that an other time 😊
maybe lightning potion is an only ball kinda build?
Could you imagine the matryoshka ball, with multiball, with that splitter shot?! Fml
More peglin more good as they say
"Not a fan of not being able to aim," says Tom, who notoriously aims badly even when he tries to aim well. 🤣
Hi, love the peglin vids
Splatorb was there waiting to delliver the dub the entire game
Splatorb is goated
Fun run. But I have to say, that squirrel nerf has to be one of the dumbest things I´ve seen in a long time. I get that it was too strong, but just increase the number of pegs needed before it triggers or limit it per fight, not per bloody run.
Nice!
7 minutes in, already skipping a slime on his slime run :P
Constricting chains is such an unfun relic, and not even changing it to give multiball could make it fun.
Im so confused why Tom was dodging things at all in the run, I dont think anything gave him dodge?

That Squirrel relic is really so sad. it feels like a waste of a relic now.

It's really great how everytime I start enjoying an item they nerf it to the point of it being useless‽ 🤬😒
Just here to comment so the ass bots don't get a monopoly on this comments section.
Slimes are awesome, the chains are not, and the lightning is probably the least impressive slime.
Tom: Takes relic that gives slimes +5
Also Tom: Ignores every free slime orb that comes his way, effectively nullifying the effect for 99% of the run.
I honestly don't care that much but bruh you just suck sometimes and there is no defending you.
bamn! more peglin
