  • Welcome to the wonderful world of peglin! A peggle like roguelike game where you must traverse a dungeoncrawler style map. Fight bosses and survive ever increasing challenges. Naturally I am going to ignore all of those challenges and play the game exactly the way the developers intended. Today The Spiffing Brit is going to be playing this indie game that is a fun spiritual successor to peggle! The concept is simple you play a little goblin that must throw orbs at enemies. Each Orb will do damage based on the amount of pegs it activates. Issue is that it is entirely possible to just beat the game without doing anything! Hence why today I am going to speedrun this game without actually doing anything. Imagine playing skyrim without using a weapon or even moving and you could simply defeat alduin and all the dragons by looking at them.
    What you have seen here today is part of a fantastic perfectly balanced memes series on youtube where I go from game to game and break them with wacky exploits to gain things like unlimited gold and infinite money all in a fantastic montage. If you enjoyed this then be sure to check out more. The style is similar to RT game and callmekevin in parts. A large influence on this series has come from Valefisk and The Killian Experience.

      In total war warhammer there's a similar strat. In the game army units have a "morale" function where in if they drop below a certain point it causes them to retreat. Sometimes they can recover but if they retreat 3 times they're out for good. One of the monster factions can recruit a goat man that has a passive which lowers morale of enemy units simply by him being on the battlefield. It's called "nurgle's foul stink". If you get all of the relevant upgrades and create a 20 unit army of nothing but the goat men you can actually win a battle by causing the entire enemy army, sometimes comprised of several thousand people, to retreat instantly the moment they catch wind of the stinky goat bois.

    That's actually how most of the deckbuilding games work. You think you need to add cards, while usually what you need is 1-3 cards that synergize and get more and more OP.

    • @cullenlatham2366
      @cullenlatham2366 Рік тому +26

      Well, that also depends on the card pool and how the game is built. I know at least one deck builder game who's winning strat is ALWAYS draw more cards, but it is one where the resource grind is part of every individual round.
      The general format: Play your hand of 5 cards with resources on them, use said resources to buy new cards from the buy piles, pass the turn to the opponent to spend the damage resource you accumulated. AI then does their damage to you based solely off of how close to death they are, then repeat your process. First out of health looses the match.
      In that context, a draw card gives you access to the resources on cards that were not in your initial hand. Most draw 1s come with a secondary resource, making them a valid investment in all cases, and any of the rarer draw cards that draw more than one just make it less likely to see the cards that only have resources on them. A turn is only capped by drawing all of the cards in your deck or drawing enough bricks that dont have draw power. The ONLY draw cards that are not worth the investment (on their own) are cards who's sole effect is draw 1 without a secondary resource (and even then, certain cards can give them value either by extending combos or providing an unstated resource from a "all other cards you play this turn give +x [resource]"). Powerful cards in the buy piles often cost more resources than is possible to get with just 5 cards from the starting deck of the match, and though the cards you can buy often have more resources per card, it is much harder to get rid of the junk cards in the starting deck to see them consistently without the aid of draw cards. The game only has one counter to use to fight against the obscene draw power players can build: a single enemy modifier that deals a low fixed amount of damage to the player if they zealously draw more than 2 cards in a turn that only triggers once per turn, and only on the game's second level of difficulty or higher. (it is also the most intimidating of the game's enemy modifiers because of how quickly it can spiral if you are not paying attention, and the fact that it is the most common way to take damage on your own turn).
      In pegglin terms, it would be like if the game put a limit on the amount of orbs you could reload at once, but there were orbs in the game that would instantly reload more orbs that were on standby if conditions were met. Each extra orb you get is more damage you can deal before enemies get a chance to react (or get a free turn unopposed). Stack enough of the draw orbs to see them consistently and you can take out bosses in one turn with sheer numbers instead of quality.

    I notice that Spiff didn't mention that this tactic has a counter built into the game. If you get the boss 'The Wall' on world 2 (a 50/50 chance), the Castle dungeon... you will lose, because Bad Cheese can't do enough damage before the wall reaches you, and it auto kills you instead of doing damage. So... you just lose. The Round Guard won't defend you from it.

    There's also a way to get your crits to scale exponentially every time you hit a crit button. Combine that with either the item or the orb that makes crits everywhere, and the items that do the same to refreshes and makes them crits, and you can easily start having damage numbers in scientific notation.

    So one thing that wasn't mentioned, though probably has been mentioned elsewhere in the comments, is that there are two bosses for the second act, and the one that he didn't get can't be beaten with this method. Though he may have been able to potentially just find one orb at the start of the act to be able to kill that boss, so it may not have been a complete loss.

    I've seen this build used several times by other youtubers, it'll probably never be nerfed as it is a totally valid build if you get the right stuff. What they may fix is exiting to the menu reseting shops and chests, that's what makes it broken as you won't have random stuff anymore and can force this to happen.

    This reminds me of an achievement in "Night of the full moon" (one, in my opinion, of the best mobile and/or card games there is).
    You deal damage by playing cards. But if you manage to get the right equipment and/or blessings, you can kill the enemy without even playing one. (well, after getting the stuff, of course)
    I highly recommend the game. And this type of deck is a lot of fun. Can even be achieved with just the knight.
