Can some of us please get back to discussing pop fizz on the beast path should be moved to B tier? As I said, he requires some skill and he's weak to ranged attackers, but once he gets close, it's hard to not win with him in my opinion, and just because he's slow or has mediocre health doesn't mean he isn't a force to be reckond with, besides I spam the main attack button to move faster

Pop fizz is still better on mad scientist because of his huge explosions from orange potion but i think people have already told what they think.

Well Shroomboom definitely has his flaws, but who doesn't? Obviously Terrafin would win because he is a PvP god! And Shroomboom stinks up close (unless you're on Barrier Boost!), which makes him weak to Slam Bam. The crappy thing about Shroomboom is that on Barrier Boost, his Paratroopers are useless! On Paramushroom Promotion, his Shroom Shield is Useless!

I agree with moving poop fizz to B, I find it hard to lose with him, he was my first newlander (not counting crusher and tree Rex, my first 3 from day one) and I use him alot still, I dunno if it's just alot of skill I have with him or my bro just sucks at the game, WHICH HE DOES NOT, HES BEATEN ME PKENTY OF TIMES SO DON'T INSTIGATE THAT! anyway, I never lose with him, he's a solid character, plus I don't think it takes that long to transform, once you get into beast form he is very strong If you usE him right

Sprocket gear head for b tier. Today I was playing pvp and she won against:
S2 zap tesla dragon
S2 eruptor volcanor
S1 hex bone crafter
S1 conjurer
Pls consider this!

Again, I agree s2 Terrafin is a PvP deity, but... as stated before, it would appear that Eruptor's eruption pulls him out of the ground, making him extremely venerable. Has anyone else encountered this?

The problem with Best of the Beast path lies within Poop Fizz' range, he needs to get very close to his opponent to actually deal damage. This is quite a hassle because of his poor speed and mediocre range, he only has 2 ways of boosting his speed; neither of which are that effective:

Slash attack during Beast Form: Gives him a speed boost just by slashing with the Attack 1 button. However, it only gives him very small acceleration and lots of other characters in B tier can still get around faster than this way.

Purple Potion Lunge Attack: Drink the purple potion to gain a secondary attack where the Beast pounces on his opponent. Decent range, but has significant ending lag; allowing your opponent to either have a free hit or escape during the lag. It also does mediocre damage and only travels in a straightforward direction.

Aside from his poor speed; his potion explosion takes too long to charge up (also has low DPS) and has LOTS of ending lag that leaves him vulnerable, his purple potion servants die too quickly, his ranged attacks deal subpar damage, and he has average armor. A rather mediocre path that doesn't really fare well in B tier.

I disagree. I really can't imagine Sprocket beating any of those four characters except Double Trouble (but only because of her elemental advantage and that he's on Conjuror, Channeler ANNIHILATES her). Gearhead is arguably one of, if not the, worst paths in the game. The first problem is her speed; running away to build turrets will not help much, because she is too slow to escape most of the cast and safely build a turret; she has absolutely no dash attacks. Not only that, but when building a turret (takes around 4 seconds), Sprocket cannot move or attack when doing so, which will enable me to get a few free hits and punch you in the face or something. Even if you do get around to building a turret, you can only have 2 active at a time and they only have 50 HP, I can destroy it within seconds. Dropping a mine in a tank only allows you to drop one Unlike on Operator where you can drop 3 at a time, plus your opponent has to be behind you to actually land it because of the mines' poor range and inability to move.

Her most critical problem though, is her offensive game. Her wrench and mine attacks are very short ranged and she needs to get very close to actually use them, which is quite a chore because of her poor speed. What's more, her ranged attacks with the tank and turrets deal surprisingly low damage and have limited range, plus you have to take time to build them which leaves you vulnerable. Yes you can hit a mine with your wrench to send it flying, but it's slow to perform (you have to walk up to each mine placed, very annoying) and they only travel in a straightforward direction; poor accuracy.

Sprocket's defensive game is also subpar - Her maximum HP is insufficient (613 to be exact), tied with Ignitor for the 3rd lowest in the game, combined with her poor speed makes her terribly easy to KO. Her Turret Explosions are short ranged and very unlikely to hit your opponent, plus even if it hits, it does a mediocre 50 damage.

In the end; Gearhead is a poor version of Flashwing Super Shards built clearly for Story Mode, and even then it will still be useless either way.

Lolnope I actually beat all of them

Ok,I might get S2 Slam Bam tomorrow.But I also saw a S2 Terrafin and Gill Grunt and will decide what one to buy tomorrow.Anyways that aside,what paths for Terrafin?I'm kinda going to go for Water Weaver with Gill Grunt and Blizzard Brawler with Slam Bam but can't decide between Sandhog and Brawler for Terrafin.Any suggestions?

I recommend buying the legendary triple pack(also with Jet vac and Ignitor) for S2 Slam bam. That's how I have him(I don't have normal S2 Slam bam)

How are you gonna find S2 ?

Warnado's Wind master path is the only Warnado in E tier, so that's what CommanderGame means.

And for Chop chop he means S1 Undead defender.

If u look on wdrumz' channel, there is a video I watched a month bak where warnado beat wham shell on wind master, whammy was on captain crustacean, he spammed the tornados and kept running

^ Because what he's lacking is damage. Yes Ghost Roaster is immune to attacks while in ectoplasm form, but you cannot attack them either; you are unable to use your attacks while in that form. The Phase Shift Burst only works when you first enter the form, and it is poor ranged and dealing only 10 damage; making it kind of useless. His Skull Charge attack was severely nerfed from the first game - you can only bite your opponent once while a pacman skull and you cannot shut it off; you have to wait for a while to shift back so you can bite again.

He is definitely not above average anymore, largely thanks to his nerf from SSA.

Just got round to reading this thread again after being inactive for a while. Exam revision has been keeping me busy!

I'm starting to like this idea of moving Warnado / Wind Master up and S1 Chop Chop / Undead Defender down. It sounds reasonable that Wind Master might be a good character for playing keep-away with. As for Chop Chop, I seem to remember that Undead Defender was only moved out of E Tier in the first place because of how he was percieved to be much improved from SA now that the game engine allows his melee strikes to hit more often.

I'll wait to hear one or two more opinions on both characters before I move them, though.

I'm glad you noticed my preposition.
Well I've Already given my opinion, Chop Chop is really slow, and his shield works horribly.Not to mention that his Melee attacks suck.
At least Warnado is a good Hit-and-Run Character, and the homing Tornadoes work quite good.
That's my 2 Cents.

I think Chop chop should go down but id hesitate on moving wind master up for now.

I think Melon master's godly damage output is good enough to keep it where it is for now. Some characters have a really hard time nailing him in the melon fountain without getting hurt, generally melee characters.

I don't have but have heard that he's REALLY bad and weak.

From the Toy Collector's App

LIGHTNING LORD
Every upgrade Lightning Lord has is devoted to creating the most powerful Grant Lightning attack in history. You'll get a speed boost, you'll get a pair of damage boosts, and you'll even get the ability to transform into a larger-than-life Lightning Avatar to rain down damage on your foes. If you can't tell already, this path is a blast to play.

Recommended Hat: Winged Hat (or your best Speed hat)
Not only does the Winged Hat look completely awesome on The Rod, it also helps shore up his greatest weakness—a total lack of speed. Easily the best choice.

Damage Numbers:
Grand Lightning: 26
Thrown Bolt: 17
Thrown Bolt Residual Damage: 3
Zapper Shield: 18

Story Mode Rating: 8
If you're looking for the best place to rain down electric doom on a wide variety of targets, bring Rod through Story Mode. Although 26 damage may not seem like a lot for an attack with the fanfare of Grand Lightning, keep in mind that the attack hits multiple times and relatively rapidly. It's no stretch to say that, once you've practiced a bit with the remote control damage of Grand Lightning, Lightning Lord obliterates everything in his path.

Battle Mode Rating: 6
Grand Lightning will steamroll the weaker and slower characters with relative ease, but there's one problem that stops Lightning Lord from ranking any higher than the middle of the pack. What's that, you ask? Well, for all its great power and even greater fanfare, Grand Lightning can be interrupted relatively easily, and this means trouble—especially since this is the only attack you'll be upgrading along this path.

Overall Ranking: 7
Lightning Rod, in many ways, does live up to the hype. Grand Lightning is as powerful as you would expect, and if it weren't for the fact that it can be interrupted, it would be pretty close to the perfect attack. The problem is, it's also pretty much your only attack, leaving Lightning Lord an overall one-dimensional path. In situations where Grand Lightning falters, there's really not much else you can do.


TYPHOON TITAN
Instead of upgrading Lightning Rod's signature Grand Lightning attack, Typhoon Titan instead opts for a more passive and defense-oriented approach featuring an attack all his own, the zapper satellites. These are a series of three protective clouds that deal damage to nearby enemies. They also work very well with the zapper shield, especially after you've purchased Rod's Soul Gem upgrade.

Recommended Hat: Winged Hat
Lightning Rod is a very slow character, and that lack of speed is his chief weakness. You can never completely fix this, but a speed hat at least helps.

Damage Numbers:
Grand Lightning: 15
Thrown Bolt: 17
Thrown Bolt Residual Damage: 3
Zapper Shield: 18
Zapper Satellites: 10

Story Mode Rating: 4
Typhoon Titan functions best up-close, because that's where his zapper satellites do their greatest damage. Problem is, Lightning Rod is very slow, and getting up close to begin with can be a hassle. In the time it takes Typhoon Titan to approach and engage a group of enemies, Lightning Lord will have already wiped them out and be moving in to collect the rewards. Not only that, 10 damage per satellite strike isn't nearly as high as it should be to warrant choosing a whole path for them.

Battle Mode Rating: 3
Typhoon Titan has serious damage issues, and while he has no trouble hitting opponents, actually draining their HP from full to zero is another matter entirely. Faster characters can avoid him entirely, ranged attackers don't need to get close to shoot right through his satellites, and charging melees are not deterred by Typhoon Titan's zapper shield since they do so much more damage up close than he does. This is far from an ideal choice for the versus arena.

Overall Ranking: 3.5
The idea of zapper satellites is a promising one—after all, who wouldn't want a ring of damaging clouds following them wherever they went? Sadly though, this is one of those ideas that only sounds good on paper. In practice, 10 damage is 10 damage—a very low number unless you're striking rapidly, which, on this path, you're not. Lightning Rod was made to use his Grand Lightning, and because of that, Typhoon Titan almost seems like an afterthought.

And in regards to S2 Battledozer Drill Sergeant, he should really moved to C Tier! His Auto-Blaster fires every other shot, and when combined with the MIRV-Drill Rocket damage, it really adds up! He is definitely not D-Tier.
