If NL is showing anything with all this wacky builds, is how well balanced the game is with so few balance tweaks. It's actually pretty incredible the amount of variety you can go for in your builds and still make them work
it's not because it's balanced, some can get more consistent win/lose results then others, it's just that they all have a scenario where they work better, combined with the complete randomness of your shop and impossibility to pick the "best team"(like 5 lvl 3 chettas), this leads to a diversified meta
@@dbaker280 5 50/50 Level 3 Cheetahs is basically the best build in the entire game. You win the round before anything gets to attack, in every situation.
The only way I can watch SAP is if the strimmer throws in an obscene amount of DAE’s, anecdotes, impressions, bits, etc. Oh good, looks like we’re in luck 🙌
with his food build there was definitely no synergy, but this is technically a can for every tier 1 animal you buy, so it only cost 2, this can be good for scaling
Duudeee. NL hit the nail on the head when he said it was sick to have a unit you spent 3 gold on beat their 30 gold unit. He's investing so much into the scorpion but it still frequently just trades with the one unit.
Crab meta has gotten me much closer to the 10 win Marty than ever, save my only 10 win Marty... EDIT: "You're not scaling fast enough" He said, not leveling up the bison with the several bison and chocolates that were laid out before him
I love making weirdo builds like the 4 birds on turn 2 that just make people go "what the" My favorite was the round 3 level 3 ant and pufferfish 2 squad marty
I finally got around to try and make a hedgehog build work. It was stupid, it didn't get to go far (sadly I never saw a pufferfish and I probably don't know how to make that build work well). It may have lost at 5 wins, but damn were these early wins glorious. Doing good builds that win games is fun, but trying to make dumb synergies work is just as fun sometime. And hey it can even work out from time to time. Usually, achievement hunting helps with trying out weird builds too, trying to get lvl 3 on less popular units (though I know it's gonna be a pain to do that for units that gain nothing when leveling...). So yeah, a toast to weird builds !
My favorite was when I decided to I was done with my squad so I pilled a microbe in the shop and went to battle. It was my gift to whomever the engine matched against my team. You're welcome. I hope y'all laughed as much as I did. :)
Love seeing NL 'go a bit crazy here', or in other words, discovering food builds. (I feel confident making snarky comments like this because I've never played this game and never watched anyone other than NL play it, so I think I'm a bit of an expert)
I'm not saying that squirrel is always the way to go, but with a flex position in food meta, you could do far worse than filling your shop with food (which can include food outside of roll range btw)
I just wish the squirrel didn't cost so much to essentially just fill the shop with inconsistent foods If it, for example, gave at least t4 foods, or guaranteed a chocolate, or something like that, it'd be better imo
Hey NL, idk of you read your comments, but I wanted to let you know that I really appreciate your frequent uploads. It’s been helping me through a tough spot.
@@carrieullrich5059 No. Both are tier 4. So it appears *at most* 2 turns earlier, but only if you get it as an upgrade reward. That's not "way earlier". It's the worst tier 4 aside from squirrel. Tell me you average 4 wins without telling me you average 4 wins.
I fell off Inscryption hard in Act2. I respect that it's being weird and changing things up but I want more of those Act1 vibes. I'll probably just watch NL play it from here on out.
@@tim_schu5850 Im still loving it, I was a little uncomfortable after act 1 when it changed but I am now understanding the actual point of the evolving systems. I highly recommend continuing through act 2, it continues to get more interesting and suggests a lot more in regards to act 1! Trying not to spoil much but the puzzles and content past act 1 is very interesting and innovative once you get over the "oof I just got used to how act 1 played" vibes.
When your big Frontline unit video dropped, I got to 8 or 9 wins consistently by just buying 1 red ladybug and hardly buying units. Just shoving it full of apples
I just discovered chicken dragon yesterday. I used shrimp scampi to get me to tier 5s, hit a dragon on upgrade and swapped out. Although it never would have worked without my dog, which I think is what you were missing to have a beefy frontliner you actually wanted to keep.
Hey NL! Don't get discoraged by the current crab meta! I just went 10 for 10 today with a dog and mosquito with melon armor that I was able to scale very quickly. The meta can be taken down!
If leveled scorpion had on death summon a level 1 scorpion or if it could hold an addition item to the peanut, or puts a peanut in the shop would make holding a scorpion so much better IMO.
@@mustange69 I personally like the idea that all animals have an upgrade, but scorpion would need to be totally resigned to do that. You can't just give it an upgrade on top of how it works now. It's already very well balanced. It's strong, but also easily countered. It doesn't need to be any better.
I do not know how it works, but i've tried playing this game with these videos on in the background and so far out of 6 runs i've lost one of them and gotten a 10 win on all the others. I think there is something about NL talking things out that makes me magically learn how to play the game. Like my last run started bad with a bunch of blue birds, but I decided to get a rooster leveled up and the blue birds started making the rooster scale very well and somehow everything started making sense and I ended up with a level 3 rooster and level 3 cheetah and completely wiping out the butterfly builds.
Every year, ones of runs are mercilessly killed by bison blindness. If you or your loved ones are impacted by bison blindness, please do not be afraid to seek medical attention.
Thanks to NL’s videos with dragons and all of Ludwig’s viewers cancelling out the Egg viewers meta builds I finally got my first 10 win last night. Dragon, Buffalo, and a level 3 otter was all it took. Love this series but I’m so shit at this game lol edit: bison not buffalo
having 10hp might make slow squads more viable, but I don't think it will overthrow the current meta, cause you still need to win the same amount in total. If people start throwing early it might make the current strats even easier. Idk, all I'm sure of is POG.
I'm gonna be honest I never realized the Ladybug gets the buff regardless of who eats the food so I've literally never used it (and I only play pay to win lol)
And here you see a doubter in the wild who came in after he revolutionized the meta by winning 7x in a row with crabs and made everyone else switch to crab, thinking crab sucks because now crabs cancel each other out.
Future Animal ideas for SAP: Tier 3 Wolf: 2/2 that gains 2/2 for each empty adjacent space, gains 4/3 for adjacent wolves Tier 4 Lion: 2/6 that gains 2/1 per enemy kill (any of your animals) spawns x/3 lioness per kill I have no idea about balance and haven't played but it's fun to workshop ideas!
