dusk cedar
#

got the 200 rr from sitting in time chamber, didn't get a single mythic trait, only blitz twice....
havent played since

#

maybe a hot take but I think VSJW is unhealthy for the game
the main reason being it feels like you NEED him for nearly everything new. Ovb you don't but when he makes stuff 100% easier it really feels like you do.

molten obsidian
#

oh shit forgot abt afk chamber

molten obsidian

shy grove
ruby karma
#

I remember in their old qna they said that so the game didn't become like AA or something of the sort

upbeat oyster
#

They balanced a single stage around having a full party with end-game units that you could possibly do without monarchs?

they is no reason someone would do a harder map then an easier one

molten obsidian
#

well yeah obv

quick garden
#

molten obsidian
#

cuz as a console player its not worth it its so monotonus

yeah regardlessly its still gonna take u prob around that range

These games scale to magnos

#

I would not play als if i couldnt just magno the 30 stages for pity

molten obsidian
placid torrent
#

Thats just never gonna change tho lol

quick garden
placid torrent
#

Also idk why but people really dont like auto upgrade suggestions

quick garden
placid torrent
#

Like they really hate those

quick garden
#

its this motherfuckers who are mecroing the game that says dont add "auto upgrade"

placid torrent
#

Its not even just the devs, the suggestions get ratiod

#

Nobody even uses auto upg or unit manager for magnos thats the funny part

molten obsidian
placid torrent
#

Why would i do smth manually like 50 times when i could do it while sleeping

#

Thats just smth thats never gonna change

quick garden

and u also cant even trigger abillities within the ui

quick garden
molten obsidian
#

well idfk but imma keep it a buck i aint grinding this shitty game till auto upr comes

placid torrent
#

Its not coming out

molten obsidian

Astd x is NOT saving the atd society

Astd og had nothing lol

Its a 6 year or smth old game

molten obsidian

#

2x/3x isnt really a great feature tbh ima be real

#

Auto upg is semi valid

molten obsidian
placid torrent
#

2x/3x is just a bandaid fix to shit game design

quick garden
#

i mean the problem with 2x/3x for me is testing is js gonna be done in 2x/3x speed so it wont do much to affect the actual time

molten obsidian
quick garden
#

well yeah it kind of does

placid torrent
#

As i said

#

Its a bandaid rix

#

It wouldve been better to just make the stages faster

upbeat oyster
#

Auto upgrade is way less likely to come than 2x is

quick garden
#

i mean yh i do agree how tf do u even end up in the situation got past testing etc stages are taking 40 mins

languid yew

I lowkey dont understand that ima be real i dont think auto upg or unit manager ever gets used in afking

I was making fun of av for adding 50 meter units in 1 upd but holy als is dragging that shit

quick garden
#

yup u must be getting paid to play this game

placid torrent
#

Theyve given a meter to like fucking everything since the black clover upd

#

For no reason to

upbeat oyster
#

Dawg it has nothing to do with being a tester Sob4k

I just don’t like auto upgrade as a feature regardless

Now their bread and butter is these stupid ass -50% damage -60% spa yada yada bs

molten obsidian

#

oh u gonna get fired if u dont play the ggame enough huh?

upbeat oyster

Idk why your conclusion jumped to “yeah ur getting paid to play and say that”

auto upg only for farms atleast

quick garden
#

cuz the grind is boring as shit

placid torrent
#

Yeah upgrading farms is annoying icl

#

Idrm it too much

quick garden
#

any mobile/console player i know is gonna say this shit need auto upgrade

placid torrent

But i cant say maxing farms is the most exhilarating gameplay

upbeat oyster

It’s a TD

There is no exhilarating gameplay

mobile and console experience is a nightmare

upbeat oyster

I don’t need to play main game, but it definitely helps at least

molten obsidian

at pc ur on easy mode and console/mobile turns that shit into nightmare difficulty

upbeat oyster

#

why the fuck rares,epic and legendary units show on pvp ban part

placid torrent
quick garden
hearty badge
#

mobile can't scroll to see the other units so we can't see the actual good units from the enemy

Rares kinda help yhwach

its probe easier then grinding this game

#

yea

quick garden
#

like also why the fuck does cids stage have a 150 pity

upbeat oyster
#

That’s act 1

#

Because it has a 1% drop

quick garden
#

that shits gonn take like 12 mins each

hearty badge
#

the pity should be for the birb

quick garden
upbeat oyster
#

Act 2 is 50 because it’s 3%

languid yew
#

can we agree that Birbs drop rate is too low

quick garden
#

at the cost its hard as shit

hearty badge
#

50 pity for the most annoying stage in the game is crazy

molten obsidian

It’s 1.5x average odds

yh then fuck stage 1

#

aint nobody doing that shit

quick garden

wait also when astd x releasing?

honestly don't set your expectations high for ASTDx

molten obsidian
#

goddamn july 5th gonna be a day of fire works then

upbeat oyster
molten obsidian
#

im having my expectations high asf

upbeat oyster
#

Like a 1% drop is average one in a hundred runs. 1.5x that is 150 runs.

languid yew
quick garden
upbeat oyster
#

3% is 1 in 33, 1.5x that is about 50

quick garden
#

hmmmmm

upbeat oyster
#

Yeah, that’s kinda the point of a pity mechanic

molten obsidian
upbeat oyster
#

That’s also why they want to veer away from the 0.75% drops

quick garden
#

damn the av devs actually dont got a bad system\

molten obsidian
#

no way u gonna be hating before the game even released

quick garden
#

rest were like avr asf

upbeat oyster

I mean tbh the trailer wasn’t much of anything super impressive

quick garden

also the maps

except that destroyed one

how many players u predicting on release?

molten obsidian
#

how many views did the trailer get?

quick garden
#

bout 350k ish

molten obsidian
#

then maybe 120k

#

it will most likely surpass avs playercount

#

but als i think thats pushing limits

quick garden
#

i see it possiblr

#

the hype behind the game

#

also bots

molten obsidian
#

fair icl

quick garden
#

do u think av will ever surpass als?

molten obsidian

most likely not aslong if av doesent do much to change the "experience"

quick garden

wbt astd X?

languid yew
molten obsidian

its js released so they wint have much content

if they used peak aa devs i wonder where av would be

molten obsidian

wdym peak aa devs?

quick garden

remember those biweekly upds?

#

yh

languid yew
#

AA got too cocky

quick garden

the devs team changed like 2 upds before they stopped doing biweekly

#

and switched to tri weekly to monthly

molten obsidian

and they were prob not familiar with this "new environment"

hmmm what a mysterious return

quick garden

cuz that christmas update didnt even feel like they were did t for an year

#

felt like the game a month before made it and released it

molten obsidian

nah istg it was the upd they was planning to drop before shut down

quick garden
#

it was

placid torrent
#

They didnt work on it for an year biggest lie ever

#

For their sake i pray it was a lie

#

More likely than not they just saw av making a lot of money and decide to make some too

quick garden
#

i mean yeah if they said in the announcements "um hey guys we went broke and instead of working on this upd for an year we came a month before to polish a few things before we re release" GG'S

molten obsidian

als grind is more bearable due to features like auto upgrade 2x speed and pity
We are not adding 2x speed, and we're not adding auto upgrade. Why would we make features to make the game less innovative? You directly contradict yourself here:
. PC players have access to tools like AHK scripts and macros giving them a major advantage.
We have never, and will never make the game intended for afk / macro usage. We have progressively made it substantially harder to do so for that very reason.

molten obsidian
#

a dev i think

quick garden
#

YIPEE KAIYOUUU

upbeat oyster
#

Like I said, 2x is the only thing that I could see being added way in the future but

placid torrent
languid yew

#

The only stage impossible to ahk is like ex 4 probably

upbeat oyster
hardy sandal
#

It's not even a debate, "I can't macro but i can in ALS so add macroing back!!!" like what? we will never intentionally encourage brainless activity because then nothing we innovate or grind towards will be appreciated

languid yew
#

Why did Roblox have to be on console/mobile again

hardy sandal
#

and comparing player counts to another game also immediately invalidates this entire thread, it's not a competition and it never has been.

languid yew
quick garden
hardy sandal
#

als gets more players because its an entirely different community with entirely different preferences and almost no overlap

#

why do you think we dont drop players nor do they whenever theres updates

I do think als playercounts are slightly inflated rn lol theres definitely botting going on. Last upd made sense, this upd had no right to go to 100k ccu. It was worse than their last in every wag possible and had less hype too.

They had nero theme over dante

#

Instant 0/10

#

How do you fuck a yt search up

quick garden

#

biggest red flag was they used the "anime" designs over the DMC5 or DMC3 ones

placid torrent
#

That too

upbeat oyster

Because it's a boring and lazy feature

I didnt bother watching the dmc anime since i heard very mixed at best things about it

molten obsidian

No, auto upgrade

it wasn't even an anime it was a western production iirc

Reborn had auto upgrade and look how that game turned out

languid yew
upbeat oyster

I don't sell my soul to grinding

upbeat oyster

I decide how much I wanna do at once

molten obsidian
upbeat oyster
#

And actually upgrading the towers keeps me somewhat invested in the game instead of just placing things and then tabbing out and forgetting I'm even in a game because I didn't have to do shit

placid torrent
#

That is semi true

#

Als manual play is just "hold wave 1 and turn auto upg on"

#

Its less tedious but its not any better

The world will not come to an end because your grind had to pause for a little bit

like i said what if its something urgent? and u would lose the stage some dude whos on pc/mobile js get an autoclicker and do what they need to do and come back wbt console?

molten obsidian

Adding auto upgrade removes any attention whatsoever you have to give the game

upbeat oyster

Okay, so you lose a stage because you had to get up for something urgent

Oh no

I like to think they balanced birb that way so they can dismiss criticism about how familiars should be enabled in traitless modes

upbeat oyster
#

lol

#

Nah, birb had nothing to do with that

#

It was solely designed as an amusing sort of version of Ventor's Gamble

languid yew
#

I see

#

Birb reminds me a lot of Borderlands 2’s Hide of Terramorphous shield

upbeat oyster
#

Which is fair

#

VG was more the inspiration for it regardless

#

Potentially up to 60% damage for 5 elements?

#

Assuming god rolls of course but

#

Underwhelming

slate quail
#

Yeah god roll , but its the same point 7% 5 times aint happening

#

Birb god and cat god are almost as rare and still birb way more effective

#

While it came likr 2 months ago if im right ?

upbeat oyster
#

Well no shit, birb is a LOT harder to actually get, set up, and gamble on

#

It's the only secret familiar

slate quail
#

Yeah but god roll is still a god roll for both , and even an average birb is better than a god cat

#

Maybe if he was a lil better to be usuable and not as a second choice yeah cuz u dont have birb

upbeat oyster
#

Calling it "underwhelming" is still a wild take

slate quail
#

I see but for all endgame gamemode even average birb is better than a god cat, moslty in infinite lb where pet have way more value , well here its birb , and even as a second choice i dont see cat getting used

#

Its a good concept , but just if even an average one was a little better it wouldve been better

upbeat oyster
#

It's more accessible

#

And more potential for raw damage if that's what you need

slate quail
#

Ig yeah in that sense its a good thing , but still not " accesible "cuz that shit need a lot of shard

upbeat oyster
#

Which are not hard to come by at all

#

And the familiar itself is not hard to get because chests are a 30% drop now

slate quail
#

And end game/late player moslty have one or some birb , and by accessible ig then for newer player or mid game , which is kinda a struggle to get shard

upbeat oyster
#

No, not really

slate quail
slate quail
upbeat oyster
#

Boring to farm, sure

#

But that doesn't make it a struggle or "inaccessible"

slate quail
#

I mean u need 2 good team for odissey and go high in the intensity

#

So kinda

upbeat oyster
#

So don't go high in intensity?

#

It's always been more efficient to just go to 1k intensity and then cash out

slate quail
#

I swear that first time i got 1k and saw 500 boss without knowing while having monarch i couldnt even beat that

#

And lower player could just think damn that shh impossible, imma stop that

knotty ridge
#

I hate how most of the gameplay is 1 player plays and the other 3 leech

#

I miss cooperation but the gameplay is not changing until the devs change

slate quail
#

I miss occult tbf

#

Maybe stop portal for the next vanguard in banner and make smth where 3/4 ppl are needed

#

Or even get reward based on how much dammage u get

knotty ridge
slate quail
#

So people cant leech

upbeat oyster
#

Mvp doesn't increase odds

#

Just gives you 2 at once

atleast i hope so

#

the fucking 30 minute gamemode is not smth i miss

cinder oasis
#

Mfs complain when the game is too grindy, but also complains when the game is too easy

#

Wtf do people want

placid torrent
#

some people are fine with grinds you can just magno

rotund plume
placid torrent
#

it is

cinder oasis
#

Byeken unit requires you to win PvP and people complain

#

Chaos EX was hard and people complain

placid torrent
#

only way to make a grind difficult is either making it lengthy or making shit like ex act 4

rotund plume
cinder oasis
#

But then they complain when they completed the update in one day

placid torrent
placid torrent
cinder oasis
#

Didn’t people complain about ant dungeon when it first released too

rotund plume
placid torrent
#

ig people want them to artificially inflate how long it takes to complete a quest

placid torrent
#

they absolutely did

rotund plume
#

i dont think so

placid torrent
#

people did not like ex stage

placid torrent
#

legit look at the poll

#

people did not like the pvp quest or the ex 4 stages

cinder oasis
#

I also hate the PvP quest

placid torrent
#

which is absolutely fair

cinder oasis
#

But I understand why they do that

rotund plume
#

ex stages is true i guess

placid torrent
#

pvp is a shit gamemode and ex 4 is also just annoying

#

nothing else

#

i can solo the stage

#

and i still find it just annoying

#

its an aa-like stage

dusk cedar
#

Half the new stages they make recently are just annoying. Cid raid, EX, portals, today absorption units can never be seen again for all I care

placid torrent
#

Cid raid is mostly fine but cuffs fucking ruin it

#

Ex wouldve been fine but they had to make them mandatory

dusk cedar
#

Idk if anything feels like AA it's def the portals

placid torrent
#

Nowhere near as bad though lmao

dusk cedar
#

Nah it's pretty bad

placid torrent
#

Half of the ports in aa didnt have tiers and you just had to farm inf and then do the portals

placid torrent
#

Its the best portal system rn

dusk cedar
#

Yeah but that's not saying much lol

upbeat oyster
#

We just need an element reaction rework Sob4k

placid torrent
#

I dont think theres an issue with portals themselves tho

#

If elements werent so stupid itd be chill

upbeat oyster
#

They’re not even that difficult tbh

placid torrent
dusk cedar
#

I just hate portals cuz they have all these different things, which while cool, can be VERY annoying when you will do 100+ of them to even attempt for Kaguya

placid torrent
#

Especially since yk

#

You can only use 1 dps unit

#

Idk whats up with the skin selection this time around

upbeat oyster
#

Yeah I dunno either

placid torrent
#

Why gilgamesh and rom

#

Legit unobtainaele units😭

#

Yoruichi is still obtainable atleast

dusk cedar
#

People use afk stuff because either they are lazy, or it's almost nerded

#

I think they need to stop doing limited vanguards

#

That's 3 of the 4 vanguards that arr limited

placid torrent
#

I agree but i dont think thats happening

dusk cedar
#

Oh no it's def not

#

Av just isn't fun anymore

#

And hasn't been for a while

placid torrent
#

I think we should just bring limited and grindable vanguards to 50 50

#

Its the best in this genre i may as well continue

dusk cedar
#

Being the best doesn't mean it's good

#

Cuz what's their competition? Als? That is a whole different game

upbeat oyster
#

I do know there is plans for more grindable vanguards in the future. I’m not gonna spoil them, but vsjw was not a one time thing at least.

placid torrent
upbeat oyster
#

I hope so too

dusk cedar
#

One more thing I really don't like is actually vsjw lol
I think he was very unhealthy for the game

upbeat oyster
#

Because I think I know who it is and the kit’s silly

languid yew
dusk cedar
#

Feels like vsjw is almost needed for 90% of new content lol

placid torrent
#

Maybe not the bear spam

upbeat oyster
#

I think vsjw was fine tbh. He’s a vanguard tier unit that was feasible for everyone to get with no RNG involved beyond getting Igris or the mythic sacrifices

#

I mean, I haven’t touched using vsjw in SO long

dusk cedar
upbeat oyster
#

I used him for like, a little bit of worldlines for inf tsuku because I was lazy but

placid torrent
#

Vsjw is significantly more meta centralizing than either of those

languid yew
upbeat oyster
#

I think it’s because they’re limited and they’re one placements

#

Which makes monarch absurd on them

dusk cedar
#

Basically monarch needed

placid torrent
#

I mean you could make them 3 placement and nothing would change

upbeat oyster
#

But that’s why they also tend to fall short in traitless content

#

That’s kinda why they’re 1 placement

languid yew
#

I'd make it so one placement units can't get Monarch, but nah this game needs to make money

dusk cedar
#

That's another problem for me, trying to do anything without monarch isn't hard, just very annoying

upbeat oyster
#

Traited LBs are a Wild West of shit, but traitless doesn’t necessarily demand limited vanguards

placid torrent
#

Yeah having exceptions to a global system is not a fix

languid yew
dusk cedar
#

I've used probably a little over 3k rerolls, I have 12 deadeyes, and 6 ethereals. 0 monarch. And it really demotivates me to play lol

#

But it's a roblox td so

#

It's not changing

upbeat oyster
#

They’re designed to be 1 placement and balanced appropriately, so yes, monarch is really strong, but that’s also so they aren’t prevalent in traitless LBs where people are supposed to be on more equal footing

languid yew
#

lowk this game would benefit from traitless infinite leaderboards

dusk cedar
#

Also, I really hated PvP... I played around 20 ish games of it
Really was not a fan

dusk cedar
placid torrent
#

Inf is already a niche mode

#

No point inflating the rewards

#

Plus the inf meta is legit just de units lol

dusk cedar
#

Somehow als has done a lot of what I like to see, returning content, reworks for old units,

#

And I use to be a very big als hater lol

languid yew
#

maybe not bring back Diavolo but rebalance Okarun, Momo, and Shrimpy & put them in a legacy banner

placid torrent
#

Why even make units limited

#

Just stop doing those

#

Instead of advertising the unit as "limited" and then just bringing it back when you feel like it

upbeat oyster
#

If they want to have a trading system in the future involving those units, they have to keep them limited anyways

#

Otherwise players just get mad that their limited unit they just paid a lot for is suddenly just available in the banner again

placid torrent
#

Yeah

dusk cedar
dusk cedar

why play when you can mancro

I barely even play anymore

slate quail

you could play 24/7 if you mancroed

normal schooner
dusk cedar
#

290 rerolls and I didn't get anything on arc

normal schooner
#

av is not a hard game at all

slate quail
normal schooner
#

it's artificial difficulty

#

you get monarch you win

#

there's barely any strategy if you don't consider lb stuff

slate quail
#

Lb is end game so ofc u need brain , but yeah youre right

normal schooner
#

not just place three units and win

#

(vsjw)

slate quail
#

What u saying is only for mid game bro

normal schooner
slate quail
#

Any end or late game shh u cant do that

normal schooner
#

not just place three units and win

dusk cedar
#

Genuinely vsjw is both one of the best and worst things they could've ever added

normal schooner
#

(three monarchs)

slate quail
#

🦧

normal schooner
slate quail
#

Try 3 monarch in act 4 ex

normal schooner
#

nobody plays lb

normal schooner
#

i win you lose

dusk cedar
#

Never even touched it

slate quail
#

They just need to make more REAL diffucult shit

normal schooner
#

okay but on a serious note

slate quail
normal schooner
#

no actual tower defense game can make it on rolbox

#

roblox

slate quail
#

I aint missing those 100 rr a week

dusk cedar
normal schooner
#

if someone makes an actual good tower defense game nobody's gonna play it

#

a solid 90% of roblox players are under the age of sixteen

slate quail
normal schooner
#

roblox just isn't a good platform to do anything creative

slate quail
#

They just need to make real difficult shit , with actual mechanics in game

upbeat oyster
normal schooner
slate quail
normal schooner
#

there can't really be creative development on roblox because it'd just flop

dusk cedar
normal schooner
#

instead of actual good games on the front page you have grow a garden with three million ccu

dusk cedar
#

While I wish they made traitless versions of stuff they won't

normal schooner
#

steal a brainrot with six hundred thousand

slate quail
#

No but i mean some creative shit , like where u actually need to play the units u place , and try to do something

dusk cedar
#

I just hope astd x is decent
But it's fruit so well see ig

normal schooner
#

wdym play the units

#

what

slate quail
#

Not a game , a gamemode

normal schooner
#

if it needs actual strategy it's flopping

slate quail
#

Like u place goku and u actually need to attack to deal 10 times dammage

dusk cedar
#

Half the game modes av has made have flopped hard

slate quail
#

Like takr the control of it

normal schooner
#

it's a bit straightforward but if it needs strategy the game will not work

slate quail
#

Look pvp its so boring

dusk cedar
#

Pvp is awful is what it is

slate quail
#

Its not cuz its strategy

#

Its because the strategy is mid

normal schooner
#

the very point of a game like this is to make money via gambling

upbeat oyster
#

Sometimes you look into questions and then you realize why any mechanically demanding stage concept would flop

slate quail
#

Farming 5 minuts then spawning shit is mid

normal schooner
dusk cedar
#

Atd games CANNOT have a good pvp

upbeat oyster
dusk cedar
#

Like it won't happen

upbeat oyster
#

That is your farming

slate quail
upbeat oyster
#

Or you spam shielded ants to harass your enemy a bit if they have single hit units or just not a lot down

normal schooner
#

sometimes i wonder why people even try developing games on roblox

upbeat oyster
normal schooner
#

creative games just don't make it

slate quail
#

Yeah but how to know ur ennemies have single hit units + what upgrade he is to know if the attack is multi hit or not , 99% of the player wont even think of that

dusk cedar
#

I just don't see the appeal with pvp
It takes forever and the rewards are not that good

slate quail
dusk cedar
#

I personally don't find it fun either

upbeat oyster
#

shrug that’s why pvp is a knowledge check gamemode and why it was never destined to be something everyone played

dusk cedar
slate quail
upbeat oyster
#

If your matches are consistently 30 minutes, something’s wrong

normal schooner
#

go off memory

slate quail
#

Something that 99% of player wont do

dusk cedar
normal schooner
#

it needs you to actually know the game

dusk cedar
#

I just don't see a reason to play it

normal schooner
#

a solid 90% of the players who have ever played av logged in once placed a luffy and left

dusk cedar
#

It's not fun, there are little to no rewards, and it takes consistently 15+ minutes

normal schooner
#

what keeps people playing is either fun multiplayer gamemodes or friends

#

av kinda got the fun multiplayer gamemode with the cid raid

dusk cedar
#

I'd agree if it wasn't for the cuffs

normal schooner
#

multiplayer

#

not singleplayer

#

i feel like the cid raid was designed around having four people

slate quail
normal schooner
slate quail
#

Maybe if it was more fast id see the potential

normal schooner
#

pvp was released in update 6 not update 0

slate quail
dusk cedar
#

They did say they had to recode lots of gamemodes

normal schooner
dusk cedar
#

Just to fit in with pvp

slate quail
#

Yup

normal schooner
#

doesn't mean they actually changed the game in any meaningful way for the player

dusk cedar
#

But they still took lots of time and resources to do it

normal schooner
#

yeah

#

so

slate quail
#

All that time for 1% of player only playing?

dusk cedar
#

Idk I'm done with av for now I'm not gonna try and get Kaguya, I got Deadeye Rimuru. That'll be good enough

normal schooner
slate quail
#

And im sure its not even 1%

normal schooner
#

the point of av is to make money

#

it's a sad truth but

#

hey

#

that's what it's made for

#

i forgot what i was gonna say so

#

give me a minute

#

nope i lost it

slate quail
#

Then instead of loosing all this time on pvp

#

Making something better would have clearly been a better idea

#

Cuz i think pvp is dead for now

#

Only tryhard play it

normal schooner
#

oh well

#

devs made a mistake

#

still has 60k ccu though

#

pvp was not a good idea though

#

it's a cool concept but to have pvp in a game where the main difficulty comes from just scaling the enemies' hp

#

it just doesn't work

upbeat oyster
#

PvP is one of those modes where “yeah it’s nice to have for the people that like it” but not something a majority of the playerbase is gonna do

#

Which they knew

molten obsidian

lvl 203 ...

this mf is past unemployment status

plus levels are irrelevant anyway

#

i couldve been 1100 if i really wanted but what's the point

upbeat oyster
#

Oh my god, is she maybe trying to target the gimmick for the laser attacks

placid torrent
#

its probably from the "attacks first enemy on dimension spawn"

upbeat oyster
#

Yeah

placid torrent
#

when theres nothing else on the map

upbeat oyster
#

That's what I was thinking

placid torrent
#

thats awkward huh

#

atleast it self fixes

upbeat oyster
#

Yeah

#

It's not like the unit's softlocked but

#

It's probably just how the mechanic was initially coded

placid torrent
#

its a funny bug

upbeat oyster

Because Vegito can counter it too

not too bad

And kill it
