"Solid matchup against frogs" Here's a fun story. In 10th grade biology, when we were dissecting frogs, my partner and I were trying to cut open our frog's stomach, but kept running into something inside, and were quite confused. Eventually, we managed to pull out an entire severed crawdad claw, which had likely killed the frog.

Carcinization is the process of Convergent evolution in which many previously non-crab crustaceans have evolved from different paths into the shape of a crab, implying that one of the most ideal forms a crustacean can take is that of the crab. It's such a meta pick that even other players end up choosing to spec into similar stat ranges and builds as the crab build itself.

I feel coconut crabs should be put in their own tier like A tier because they are smart enough to avoid the water and they put on enough size to not get bullied by birds. Also no mention of the Japanese spider crab they'd probably be mid tier because they look scary but arent all that dangerous but still didn't mention the biggest crustecean.

I think what makes crabs such a good build is that they are never bad. It doesn’t matter what the meta is, you can always crab. You can come back to the game after not playing for a decade, use the same exact build as you did before, and still be viable. Yeah, maybe it’ll be slightly better or slightly worse, but the fact that it’s _always_ viable is sort of insane. I think the only other builds like this are sharks and crocodiles, but those have significantly more skill required to play decently.

The mantis shrimp definitely earned the highest spot on the tier list. With a punch that can break through most shells, create a shockwave cavitation bubble on comtact, and briefly heat up the water around said bubble to temperatures nearly as hot as the surface of the sun, there's a reason sailors call them "the thumbsplitter." If they weren't relatively tiny, the coral reef server would be a much more dangerous place. Thank you for a great year, happy Holidays.

Mantis shrimps are so powerful that several human mains have actually added them to their parties purely to watch them be awesome.

@SomeGuy-gc8zs 6 ай бұрын

@@mimisezlol This is partially true; different party members provide different levels of morale buff or sometimes even a morale debuff depending on how exactly the human player has put their build together. Most human players get a huge boost from dogs, but if they took the arachnophobia trait then obviously a spider is going to make the morale situation worse, but some humans will get a buff from spiders and even a debuff from dogs. The human build's OPness is partially offset by an extremely high skill floor.

@mimisezlol 6 ай бұрын

@@SomeGuy-gc8zs true, but even human build morale debuffs can be overcome; there's a morale passive for primate builds created after the patch that split Madagascar off of Africa that debuffs positive morale and buffs negative morale and damage output when interacting with serpent builds, as well as increasing ape detection resolution specifically when detecting them. Human players regularly manage to deactivate this passive and are able to add snake players to their parties for the morale buff instead.

The Crayfish build deserves more credit. Though they may be incredibly weak in some aspects, this is simply because they are min-maxing. They have put all their stats into poison resistance, allowing them to survive places most other aquatic builds cannot. Some CF players simply dig incredibly deep burrows and only surface when it rains to collect supplies. A notable glitch utilized by some users allows for cloning of themselves without need of a mate, leading to server crashes and game bugs. Louisiana crayfish, signal crayfish and the marbled crayfish are particularly strong CF builds.

Former planktonic main here with a fun fact! You don't have to be microscopic to be plankton, you just have to be bad at swimming. (The word "plankton" even comes from the Greek word for "drift" or "wander.") For example, some jellies are considered plankton because - just like the tiny guys we usually think of as plankton - they can't swim against a current. Planktonic gameplay is pretty fun, honestly. It can be RNG-heavy because you don't really control where you're going, but it's a seriously unique meta if you're used to playing nekton.

I'll be honest, while I was amused at my own joke, normally I would have probably re-recorded that line. However because I've gotten a concerning number of comments lately accusing me of using an AI voice, I deliberately left in a subtle chuckle because to me knowledge that is not something an AI can convincingly replicate yet.

@misirtere9836 6 ай бұрын

@@TierZoo Honestly, the concern is that people don't know what an AI voice actually sounds like. I've watched another channel, TheDuelLogs, that used an AI of their own voice for a bit while they had a throat illness, and despite their general cadence being quite similar to yours, it's easy to tell when it's the AI, even if you weren't paying attention to when they say it. While it's easy to get an AI to sound close enough to someone to be funny, it's still not possible to accurately replace a voice.

There are select crustaceans worthy of further shoutouts. A subspecies of pistol shrimp are working on developing their own eusocial colonies, but that’s still in beta. There are also small crabs that have moved away from aquatic and coastal biomes entirely by speccing into parental care and laying their eggs in notches in trees where puddles form. Again, still in the early stages, but certainly worth keeping an eye on. Some crabs are working on what are essentially lungs, allowing them to fill niches currently filled by insects while staying in a higher weight class.

A note about mantis shrimp builds. If you decide to run this build you’re going to need to pick a style of shrimp (spearer or boxer) and depending on what you pick you’ll essentially pigeonhole yourself into specific types of prey. For instance boxer mantis shrimps have to spend a considerable amount of time lining up the correct shot to crack shells, which is why they go for slower prey where as on the other side of things the spearer shrimp essentially walk around with a loaded crossbow and have to shoot from the hip the entire time at softer targets like small fish or other arthropods. Just some advice for players looking to tech into mantis shrimp builds

@Spaghetti_Jester 6 ай бұрын

Then there's Viruses, which are the closest things to being alive without actually being alive. Viruses are often confused with the three microbe factions: Bacteria, Archaea, and Protozoa. Viruses are actually a bonus "faction" consisting of modernized versions of the game’s pre-alpha characters and their variants. You can unlock each core virus build by either becoming infected by that specific build and surviving or (if you are playing as a microbe) killing that specific build in combat. After unlocking the base virus character, you can upgrade and diversify into its many variants. My personal favorite virus build is the Bacteriophage, which I unlocked after winning a really tough duel against a T4 while playing as an E coli bacterium. Afterwards, it was actually really fun to play as an anti-disease, and I was able to farm tons of XP from defending my human host. A really crazy friend of mine spent countless hours of playtime as a chimp for the sole purpose of unlocking the Ebola virus, the deadliest virus build in the game. He actually died from it three times before finally surviving an infection and thus unlocking the build. Its signature ability to induce the Hemorrhagic Fever status effect is so overpowered and will ensure a KO if your victim doesn’t have any health buffs such as access to medicine.

However, because of the depth in which they live, they have quite a few natural predators. Another thing to mention is that it's monstrous in size. The *only time* it is vulnerable is when it has just finished molting since its exoskeleton is in the process of hardening. That is why I would still say it's S-tier.

You forgot one big advantage isopods have. Isopods are the only arthopods that can biphasic molt. Which means they can molt in halfs instead all at once which allows them to remain mobile while molting. Isopods also have extreme tollerance of ammonia gas and heavy metals. I say they should be C teir.
