Swan is the only animal that guarantees useful gold before purchase though, squirrel is full rng unless you freeze then you still have to wait a turn to get discount and lose shop space, goat and serapod you have to purchase first so can be stuck behind on money If you have to roll, pig is trash unless you are meme-ing
@@thoughtskink376 Squirrel has no difference to Swan if you are buying food. Which honestly is sometimes better than rerolling cause stats. In fact if you buy both food (say you are doing a rabbit seal run) than you are getting twice the amount of gold.
Conversely, if "Fangirls" is an option, he tries to avoid it at all costs. Mostly because some of the adjectives include submissive, wet, desparate, cute, etc.
Because it's more fun Idk what that means either but that's usually his reason Then he loses with 3 wins and doesn't seem like he was having fun But the squad was fun
Honestly I was such a bacta hater for so long, but the way his face absolutely *lights up* at 29:08 has sold me. His pride is so pure and infectious. Egg should do whatever makes him happy.
6:38 is a great teaching moment for people who put their bad units in the midde of the squad instead of the back. A small reorder could have turned that draw into a win. Same reason putting bee on the back unit is good in the early game.
He truly just never thinks about it hmm? Also his hypothesis that putting weak units in the front and strong units in the back in the early rounds would be beneficial, seems utterly incorrect to me.
@@Jesusaross he literally only does it for the satisfaction of a 1 attack unit killing an ant. My heart breaks when he puts a 4/5 fish in the back on turn 1 and draws
@@ClockLogic no he's actually correct on this one, and it's not just about ants. There's so many weak units with low hp but higher attack early that's it's better to fire out all your weak ones to trade and then leave your strong unit at the back.
@@charliegorham8301 I literally said "unless it's scaled". And I kind of took it to the logical extreme to illustrate my point, because how often are you gonna take a rabbit to lvl 3?
I was just about to put a comment saying he overvalues the living hell out of the rabbit. And don't get me wrong, I'm not even saying it isn't pretty good, but he'll swipe right past an early monkey and often things like a penguin with 2-3 procs ready and just keep his level 1 rabbit. It would take 6 gold and the luck of getting two sushis to benefit as many stat points as the monkey gives you passively.
I find it amazing how he almost always considers the early tier 3 roll on round 3, but never considers the early tier 5 or tier 6 rolls later. Like when he got a monkey from an upgrade and didn't substitute the rabbit while looking to "scale the rhino" in game one. Edit: he actually got the same scenario on game 2 this is the best video of all time Edit2: he actually just explained why he intentionally does it as well
It's late in the evening, you're lying on your couch, watching your dose of NorthernLion Entertainment. Forty minutes in and he just nonchalantly hits you with a Macklemore reference mid-rambling. I bursted out laughing. It's the small gems like these (many people are also saying this) 40:06
Been watching ludwig play SAP for a few months now. Found out about egg over here being the funniest man alive. Lud copies so much of how NL talks. Imitation is a form of flattery I guess.
I never understand NL when he says "It's a little late for this " when it's literally the first round it can appear outside of a level up. Like, I understand some animals are great the earlier you get them, but that doesn't mean getting them one turn later makes them bad per se.
Strong units go in front! Even if you trade well with the ant itself, some buff-ass 4/4 animal will tear through your entire team and then trade with your strong unit as a 4/1. Better to just get a pretty reliable 2-for-1 by trading with the ant and whatever it buffs with your strong unit.
Okay rabbit is good… but it’s not sell a level two badger and keep your level one rabbit with no applicable food in sight good. This man has an obsession.
I don't get this garlic hate and melon praise, he's died so many times to focusing melon and it gets wasted so often. Garlic is more overall reliable early and melon is way more dependent on positioning. 12:12 ??????? Melon armor in that comp blocks 2 damage ONCE from one hedgehog, whereas garlic blocks 2 damage total from both, and still exists to soak up more hits. He's been blinded by pilling the turtle which is just crazy!!! 31:19 he's lost his mind
I prefer garlic in early/mid game. I will sometimes get early melon from a turtle, but I don't rework everything to make it work, and I'll easily sell a turtle if I need the space.
4:44 Selling the level 2 honey badger that you just spent 6 gold upgrading rather than the rabbit. NL is living in the year 3000 but its actually the post apocalypse.
Your last run inspired me to switch to P2W to get my chick sticker (#85). I actually got it with microbe/turtle/caterpillar (also inspired by you) on just my 2nd P2W attempt, after nearly getting it with bluebird+poodle on the 1st. Then I got my 86th sticker (zombie fly) on the very next run! Only missing sloth. Hope to see you do more achievement/sticker hunt videos like your bee one.
I don't think Summoners are that bad, but they fall off hard after 15 turns or so. Also Horse is a bait, better to just swap midgame into summoner imo, Deer is a fantastic pivot point.
Early on i think garlic can be more effective than melon armour. I mean melon blocks one attack. Thats great. But garlic can reduce the amount of damage taken over a series of attacks to more and make up for it. And when you are rolling a hippo its god tier

i love how smug he is, most streamers just seem toxic but NL just does it as a joke and its great
Rabbit is one of my favorite animals to take, but you gotta learn how to sell it, friend. It took my awhile to learn to let go when appropriate
in my opinion, good units make it more likely to win the game. fun units make it harder to keep track of what is even going on. hedgehog fits both

you just gotta wait until you know what every animal does as soon as you see it
Random thought but I think a pike would be a cool unit. No idea what it would do, some kind of aggro though.
