Indeed, we must respect the squiggle boi!

True, plus the returns on that poison can be beyond exponential.

Off the top of my head, outside of the Ogre series....uhh...I want to say M and M possibly? Usually it's everything else in the sea that gets the limelight 🤔

You as well!

Plus it's gotta be confusing as hell when the flaming octopus shows up, chugs a Gatorade, and starts blasting.

Fear the squiggle 😳

Dang straight!

Sounds like a great use of a weekend to me

Same, there's just something fun about them.

Bleach Witch 🧴🧙‍♀

@@elrufi She unfortunately died on a random grind right after this video, but she's the hero of the AI run 🥲

Exactly, gotta have our Blind Guardian team, and also my daughter said one has to be named after her fish, so Raspberry.

Same, it's just such a purely logistical concept unit, I love that kinda stuff too.

It's funny how "beasts are useless" is a statement we hear so often until someone says "I don't know how to save Cressida or defeat Rodrick," then the answer is "gryphons." (Though having shoved a lot stat charms into a gryphon, it is sad that their damage never compares to end game humans. Though it is fun to watch counter-boulder top 500 damage.) On the flip side, I love tossing hp charms on a gryphon since it's going to be a lightning rod for arrows anyways.

@@ValeVin I started using beasts because I had some generic Winged that I wanted to be Beastmasters (for Lobbing) and was surprised at how useful beasts were in almost every battle in the main game. I can definitely feel the dropoff in PoTD and CODA, but I still bust out a Dragon or Griffon as a meaty punching bag now and again. I also realized that nothing stops beasts from equipping Winged Rings, so maybe I should invest in a Zombie Flying Octopus.

@@Galanthos I run a Valerian Charity Program that provides winged rings to dragons whose sprites clearly have wings but can't fly naturally.

@@ValeVin You're doing a Lord's work there. And a Princess's. Though, to be fair, have you seen how tiny their wings are compared to their big chonk bodies? Between that and the seemingly massive market for Dragon Meat, I just assume Dragons are like Valerian Chickens.

Cards, wins, and plot decisions they like. Or just hop into another class and use those skills for 30 seconds. What are you doing to this unit to have that issue?

They're technically the same, but they did the OV thing of being more HP wall than hard wall. Resists matter more than thresholds on this version, which mostly comes from armor, so their natural defense threshold doesn't do as much. That said, give them a good Relic Ring and they're laughing.

They're like normal units, but they don't die unless exorcised or thrown down a hole. You can just use training charms, otherwise they're just an improvement of any normal unit.

Just adding in to CoffeePot's comment, which is entirely true, that they don't count for incapacitation bonus objectives unless exorcised/tossed down a pit, when their countdown timer hits 3 they come back with 50% health, which is nice with a huge health pool, and they can't use spells from the holy tab. They get healed by putrefy instead of harmed, so necromancers/liches can AoE heal them, but harmed by healing spells. Exp charms are how you level zombies (skeletons/ghosts are undead but level normally). And while skellies/ghosts need a necromancer's master undead to recruit, zombies recruit based on their species when unzombified. So recruit works on hawkmen/humans. Tame dragon for zombie dragons/hydra. Tame beast for zombie beasts. Tame umbra for zombie orcs and gremlins. Fey Pact for zombie faeries. Necromancers' Awaken Undead skill will immediately pick up an undead who has been knocked down, and since it's a skill, a necromancer can cast putrefy to heal the undead right after. And necromancers can be zombified, if you're planning a zombie AI team =]
