  • Most players get through the entire game with only normal type attacks. Moves that deal either slash, stab, or crush type damage. But there are other options available! With TierZoo's guide to the elements, you can subvert normal defenses and dominate the meta.

      Charles Vernon wouldn't really make sense since each human subclass is pretty much part of another human subclass it seems they simply react to the environmental issues for development but genetic data occurrence rates
      Of course there are exceptions but they are coded diversely enough to make it strange to do sub classes

      Actually, that's only a handful of snake venom types which cause fatality usually. Most snake venom types can inflict considerable damage yes, but it's actually rare for deaths to occur from a lot of snake venom types. I even room with a snake main who has a mild venom attack similar to that of a bee sting.

      I once saw a monitor lizard main who works with a bunch of bacteria mains to add the salmonella disease effect to his bite attacks. Human mains quickly learned not to screw with that unless they had a clanmate with support skills on hand.
      Disease attacks wreck human mains even harder than high-tier venom attacks do, though I'll admit getting good ones that won't also screw you over just as fast is hard. Venom and poison, in comparison, are much easier to obtain, self-produce, and not get killed by. RIP Mad Cows.
      If you want proof of just how hard disease attacks own humans, just look at human-main clans do in the tropics to drain swamps, bogs, and floodplains. The Anopheles Mosquito and Malaria clan partnership used to own them *hard* until they started wrecking Anopheles's recruiting grounds, and even then, thanks to their partnership the Anopheles still beat more humans than almost any insect clan outside of Africanized Honeybees.

    So there is one but you missed. The cuttlefish and chameleons have access to a physic type move called Color Change. The cuttlefish take this even further with Hypnosis, which is a really over powered move on fish and arthropods. There are also many many poison types, but those are very common so I see why you didn’t cover them. I hope there is a sequel to this that covers this fact, as I feel like it is something really cool.
    Edit: bees also have the ability to hypnotize their opponents with Physic Wave, and ability used to disorient an opponent and make them unsure where their hitboxes are.

    • @Korvisio
      @Korvisio Před rokem +2

      You mean Psychic, not Physic. Psychic has to do with brain and mental stuff, physics are the real tangible items and interactions we see in the world, force, mass, energy, etc.
      I wouldn't say that cuttlefish or chameleons' Shapeshift and Colour Change abilities are Psychic type. They are actually emotes that glitch out low intelligence builds. An actual psychic move to me would be something like neurotoxins that actually shut down the target's mental state and make it physically impossible for them to escape, rather than just glitching the screen and tricking them into not moving.

      Oh yeah, remember all the weird walkthroughs and theories people posted saying they could unlock the dragon build? Most of them were just like “choose [reptile build] and get to [absurdly high level] and the dragon build will become accessible!” How dumb were those? Tbh I doubt dragons as we imagine them would be very viable. Their speculated absurdly high base stats and ridiculously overpowered abilities are an impossible combination given the amount of evolution points provided, and would have some serious drawbacks and contradictions anyways. Like, for example, their enormous size alone would prevent them from unlocking the flight ability, not to mention the amount of EXP that you’d need to regularly amass in order to use it.
      I could see them being viable if they were say, dog sized on average, and instead of investing into plated scales they chose snakelike ones instead. Then they may be capable of gliding at least. If someone really wanted a dragon build capable of true flight they could try and spec into hollow bones, but at that point you’re just making a scaly bird. The theoretical dragon build just isn’t worth the trouble of properly balancing it tbh, and imo they’d only rank around high b tier anyways.

      Well from what I know (from this handy dandy wikipedia article en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mantis_shrimp#Claws) it might be considered a fighting type move considering the speed and the fact it generates a shockwave.

    • @emethirsch7107
      @emethirsch7107 Před 6 lety +38

      might be sonic type? could be fire type from extreme heat and light. i know there's a sonic debuff [Deafen] that the Howler Monkey inflicts and a signature sonic move from a creature I can't remember where it's noises come from every direction at once.

    • @Yal_Rathol

      sonic type abilities are far and away the most common type of ability in the game, with most players having access to them, but i don't think the pistol shrimp's would count. the shockwave it causes is a result of extreme attack power, which places it safely in fighting type, or potentially making it a rare dual-type, fire/fighting.

      @DBZHGWgamer Před 6 lety +92

      One thing TeirZoo doesn't take into account is the environmental mechanics interplay with size. Size doesn't just affect HP and defence. It actually completely changes which physics engine is used for interactions on your character. For example, larger builds actually overheat faster than smaller builds, and are required to put more points into cooling abilities as a result, though this also allows them to lower their metabolism. Similarly smaller builds *must* put points into fur, or else suffer serious cold debuffs unless they put points into sun-bathing.
      If ants mains opted for significantly larger sized builds, they would be under the effects of a diffrent physics engine and have to completely re-spec and change strategy. Currently the physics engine has no fall damage for ant sized builds, but they would have fall damage if they were larger builds. Similarly, their buildings would need to be larger to accommodate, and they are much less stable on the large size physics engine than on the small size one.

      @contramuffin5814 Před 6 lety +149

      If you're using a human build, this is normal. Human type builds have absurdly long tutorials that sometimes last up to 20-something levels. This is because human builds simply have way too much to cover; their overpoweredness in practically every stat that's useful in the current meta is balanced only by its unbelievably complex gameplay. As far as I can tell, most human players don't fully understand its gameplay, if they understand it at all, so they optimize incorrectly and this leads to suboptimal late-game plays. Since you picked this build, I suggest you pay close attention to the tutorial. It may be boring, but it's a tutorial for a reason.

      The game goes by many names. Some call it "Reality," others call it "World," etc. The people of /r/Outside call it "Outside," which is what I'm personally gravitating towards. I can't unfortunately go into much detail about Outside, because there's simply so many things to talk about that it'll take me a long while. But the basic premise is that it's a MMORPG with PvP and permadeath. Some players try to enforce a no-PvP rule, but that's by no means a bannable offense. Just beware that the players who support no-PvP will try to enact their own consequences on you if you try PvP with a human build player.

      Robert Mugica well yeah, INT can allow even the most physically pathetic builds into something of note. And among warring human guilds it can be the deciding factor in who wins. INT plus some sort of longevity passive and the “teaching” skill is enough to make a species quite a formidable candidate for top build of any given meta.

      Yeah, and if you spec into the tech tree builds, with machines as a speciality, you can even get stuff like, bulldozers and cranes … those are just straight up OP in the current meta. And if you combine heavy machinery with weaponry, you can get Mechanical Tanks that a human can use - And that's it, man, you can just *_oneshot_* other players, even some of the very best tank builds will fall to a human in a Mechanical Tank, it's insane, I tell you!

      And the taser mod, and the hose mod, and the hydro cutter mod it you have the massive amount of resources and equipment to use that as a weapon. Granted, once you do, you have access to the Metal Gear RAY build, which is highly underrated when compared to the infamous nuclear-based REX build.

    It is awesome to see how elemental attacks can work in this game!
    And turns out, a good few players use water gun type moves!
