@@YupDock rat kangaroo is way better than rat hippo since you can get free triggers for whatever animal is in between the kangaroo and the rat without the kangaroo having to take damage or do anything.
The way I feel about lvl1 penguin vs lv1 giraffe is if I have at least 1 alright level 2, I can swap, because it's doing the same thing giraffe does from any position and I can invest in other units before I invest in penguin. Very comfortable team comp and buffs, good wins father
Pay to win is cursed. Constant soul reads. I had a 50/50 puppy butterfly build going with turtles for melon, a big dolphin to snipe turkeys, and a 1up scorpion up front. Then the puppy gets zapped by enemy’s level 3 skunk, which ruins the butterfly, and then his giant rhino up front wiped out my entire team after 1 attack. Just awful.
What is interesting with Ox is putting a Badger in slot 1. So long as you don't have a fly or such, the badger dies and explodes and the way the game handles the order of it, the death explosion triggers the melon armor you primed THEN it does the death and puts melon back on the Ox. If you have a tier 2 or tier 3 badger that you work on in the front, this can demolish the front line of teams.
so the level 1 sheep is basically 6 damage and absorbs three attacks under optimal conditions, with meat it's eleven, thats actually pretty good value early
Big brain move is to pair the rat with hurt triggers or Hippo, a level 3 rat gives you 3 triggers for free if you can kill enough of their board Them having turkey kind of sucks but all you can do in that matchup is hope you've scaled your pop off animal enough anyways
at 25 mins he has the perfect front badger setup. monkey and tiger two trash units to get suicide bombed while you take out all their heavy hitters with the badger. putting the gator at the front with 4 hp taking monkey buff made me cry F
@@thisismywill only time i ever managed to get the tiger badger setup i even put one ups on my monkey and tiger for anti snipe/chili technology and it worked perfectly
I watched Isaac for so long and was disappointed to see it slow down on output. I was skeptical to watch this newer game since ya started posting it, but damn am I glad I began to view it. This is a pog game
31 min mark, fly in shop, some golf too. Nah I’ll keep the 2/5 level 1 giraffe giving out a 1/1 instead of replacing it with a fly that’d vastly improve odds through mad stats and also through giving the ox and kanga another buff during battle
I think you needed to fully embrace the rat meme on the game you leveled it. The stats on their own got outclassed really quickly. Had chances to go pufferfish or hippo.
Flawless runs are definitely rooted in a ton of luck. I've had some flawless runs, but I've had many more 8 or 9 hp runs where I could have had flawless if I had better luck in the first couple of rounds.
At 15:56 could have gone sheep behind the cricket. You still get 2 triggers on the bison. At this point in the game, it's likely they'll have lesser health pets at the back, but possibly more damage (like meat.) So I'd assume it's more useful to go for hurt triggers than a 6/6
I love NL but hate when he uses 2 animals and then blames the animal that had nothing to do with it. Such as Kangaroo/Rat, now we will never see anymore kangaroos :(
Funniest part too is he would've won most of the lost rounds if he just went Roo Rooster Rat instead of his jank ordering. Sad cuz both Rat and Roo are strong in F2p if used right
Ox+1-up ant seems like it could be so strong that it hurts to see it slip through the cracks like this. I suppose you do still need to see pills when tier 6 foods are in the pool, but still...
28:06 "so we get the effect this turn" that effect FYI was 2 damage on a camel. Skunk is not worth taking at all if you get it on level up imo. At most you're gonna be facing like a 15HP unit and doing like 5 damage. Just not worth imo.
I feel like NL is overrating the Ox - not because its a bad unit (let's be real its probably one of that best) - but rather because it loses quite hard against summoning teams. And those are everywhere recently.
The ox is one pet out of 5 you can field at one time. Usually, you have a sheep or cricket of your own early on to proc it so, no most of the time it isn't losing to summon builds when it matters. Late game turkey fly shenanigans are a different story but by then the ox will have long since fallen off.
i dont understand why ox loses "hard" against summon teams wouldnt it be just as good as any other animal with melon and it gets melon for free so its more cost efficient which would make it still do better against summon teams compared to other animals that would take its place which would mean it doesnt lose hard against summon teams it would mean that when facing summon teams its not OP unlike when its facing non-summon teams maybe you meant to say it loses its OPness against summon teams which would be an accurate way of describing the situation and still if its OP 80% of the time its OP all the time thats how math works
@@ahmetsaidalkur50 ox loses hard imo because in the early game it has very little toughness. Deer, sheeps, bees etc. easily strip the melon and cause trouble for the unit since it cant gain toughness. its just a lot weaker than it used to be imo because people are buying the summoning units a lot more as they move into the middle gameto prepare for hopefully getting a turkey. Back in the day the Ox used to generate free wins in the middle game and was the perfect unit to help with transitioning into the late game, now because for the amount of people trying to use summoners rather than the old big frontline unit strategy he ox has become a lot weaker.
this flawless take is SO BAD you still need to perfectly play your shops to flawless, it takes effort - considering the amount of options you have, even with "good shops"
When i first came by this channel, i thought op was an egotistical overopinionated ass. I've watched for some time now and i've noticed op is a intellectual. Most of the time we fill in the blanks and judge early; essentially we hear what we want to hear (maybe just me fine) I now understand that op is well versed in cultural knowledge and has fair opinions that hit close to the mark with some consideration. (not every time but generally) I've come to love the stream of consciousness, works well with entertainment. I want to set a bet that op exerts more brevity when in person. I've noticed this more with catan.
putting the kangaroo behind the level 2 rat for half the run was nothing short of infuriating
It was his biggest unit what else would he put it behind
he could have taken a hippo, thats the NL magic
@@YupDock he should have swapped cricket with kangaroo. Then he’d have up to 4 triggers per turn on the kangaroo with the level 2 rat
@@YupDock rat kangaroo is way better than rat hippo since you can get free triggers for whatever animal is in between the kangaroo and the rat without the kangaroo having to take damage or do anything.
a camel would've worked fairly well here
"we need to commit to selling the rat" *gives garlic to rat next turn*
I read this comment before watching so I was expecting it the first time, it was the second garlic rat that got me
I read both of these comments before watching. Currently hoping there's a third garlic rat
@@hippobobobo2876 It's garlic rats all the way down
The joy when NL finally takes a Bison for the stats.
Swear the sheep was better in this situation though lol. Its also a 6-6 but also triggers the ox
The joy when the giraffe is pumping the kangaroo in the back
The joy when my doctor tells me I have terminal cancer and that I will die within 1 month.
The only way to stop a bad guy with an ox is a good guy with an ox.
Badger at the back is such old news. Monkey behind badger at the front fricken rips through the whole frontline and all you sacrifice is the monkey
Yea, it’s big brain time
Everytime NL says out loud that he will play a "fundamental" strategy, you know it's gonna be a hard meme game.

Doesn’t replace a rat with an ox -> complains about the rat for the rest of the run.

Do that AND have the Roo behind the hurt trigger unit. And Turkey doesn't even counter if you garlic the hurt trigger unit
I believe the word you were looking for is “equipped” rather than “equipmented up”
Love the vids as always

I think you needed to fully embrace the rat meme on the game you leveled it. The stats on their own got outclassed really quickly. Had chances to go pufferfish or hippo.

Flawless runs are definitely rooted in a ton of luck. I've had some flawless runs, but I've had many more 8 or 9 hp runs where I could have had flawless if I had better luck in the first couple of rounds.
Going for the 3 damage on the leopard was the wrong move, taking 20+ stats on the scorpion would’ve been a Chad move.
Unless deathtouch overrides the mushroom when added.
@@mdoubleub Even if it does 21+ attack on a scorpion negates melon
or maybe (and excuse me for being so bold) replace the 8/7 ant with literally any animal from the shop
Every time I see one of these titles I can just imagine Ryan sitting there and snickering after writing it
Front badger with a tiger and some snipers/scalers as support is insanely good
At 15:56 could have gone sheep behind the cricket. You still get 2 triggers on the bison. At this point in the game, it's likely they'll have lesser health pets at the back, but possibly more damage (like meat.) So I'd assume it's more useful to go for hurt triggers than a 6/6
If you went with the sheep, you would have won with a single sheep left (after slowing down the video and drawing out what would have happened)
Next round, sell the sheep and buy a parrot behind the ox, with the cricket in front of the ox
I was going insane the whole time the kangaroo was behind the rat
Oh my god he did the thing, he put meat on the low attack units
only two things changed in the shop when he rolled at 26:35 egg luck
Would you consider playing polly bridge again?
He really out here running a level 2 rat and then gets an ox instead of a peacock/camel/blowfish (all which were in the shop)
Not just that but he never puts a buffer between roo rat, which is like the whole purpose of the rat
If he would have just sold the damn 8-7 ant for the 19-10 scorpion everything would have been fine
19:25 It's the opportunity cost of buying a can. Upvote if u agree ?

Skunk is not worth taking at all if you get it on level up imo. At most you're gonna be facing like a 15HP unit and doing like 5 damage. Just not worth imo.
21:26 There's gonna be carnage?
The first game he played he was in free to play but lost to a Llama and Caterpillar. Those are pay to win animals
He usually plays against all packs no matter what pack he is playing
What if there was a Buzzard that got the stats of any animal that fainted in front of until the end of the battle?
Would have to be a tier 6, right? It's like a butterfly that 1. Can run equipment 2. Can't get sniped easily 3. Doesn't take 5 turns to arrive
