lasiorhyncus barbicornis

[wispy flare]

Lasiorhynchus Barbicornis, also know as the New Zealand giraffe beetle.

Off ball ability: dash a long distance in any direction. Small hitbox, however upon hitting an opponent, it stuns for 2.5 seconds.

On ball ability: Charge forward for 3 seconds, gaining lots of speed, however not being able to turn effectively. During this ability, the ball will not be able to be grabbed away from the beetle. (Headbutts will still knock the ball away).

Alternatively as Seaweed suggested, the on ball could make the beetle launch itself in an arc diagonally.

also to fix the grabbing issues where the rostrum/nose would get in the way, I propose:

impaling the ball. Just a normal running animation with all 6 legs to show its an intentional animation and not a glitch. Also additionally, you could make the off ball ability auto grab ball if it hits a ball thats not being held

[wispy flare]

thats a good idea, Axodle, it should be added soon

[remote bough]

😭

[wispy flare]

wow thats an amazing idea dude

[modest sedge]

The on-ball would need to have a wind up for it to be defendable, muscle memory makes me grab as I headbutt which would just be a free goal for this beetle

[wispy flare]

it would still headbutt away

just not grab it

[modest sedge]

nah vacuum from weevil is similar where if you headbutt grab you just stay in the vacuum

[wispy flare]

thats because grab hitbox is larger than headbutt, so it grabs before you can headbutt

with ball being ungrabbable it'll just ignore the grab and then headbutt the ball

[modest sedge]

ah

[wispy flare]

duuuude thats a sick idea

we need it in the game NOW

maybe the tournament winner could like

choose it as a prize to get it in sooner

or something

[wispy flare]

ikr

[wispy flare]

sadly I'm too bad to win tournament :(

[daring acorn]

Axo honey, it’s time to take your meds

[wispy flare]

what do you mean

who's meds

and why do I need to take him

is he strong? do I need to go get a weapon?

[daring acorn]

Haha you sure love your jokes, take the FUCKIN pills

[wispy flare]

WHY ARE THE PILLS FUCKIN

[wispy flare]

wait this is such a good idea wtf???

I didnt know axodle had the mental capability to produce good ideas

[wispy flare]

rude but thank you

[remote bough]

[wispy flare]

[remote bough]

omg yeah how did you find that photo of me lol

[last ermine]

HELPPPP

[last ermine]

there literally aren't any

except for when I don't try

but that doesn't count

[last ermine]

can confirm!!!

[wispy flare]

#🎬│clips message

you missed...

[wispy flare]

ok but the viewers of a short clip cant tell when you arent trying so....

[last ermine]

axo when there's ONE (1) beetle in the game that requires aiming and I miss ONE (1) shot

LMDAOOO

[wispy flare]

shhh.....

[last ermine]

so in other words you're spreading misinformation
got it...

[wispy flare]

yes

[last ermine]

oh

fair enough

carry on!

carryon

carrion

carrion beetle

[remote bough]

with what money

MY ASS dont got that type of bands

[last ermine]

LMAOOOOO

[wispy flare]

havent you gone to like

[last ermine]

thank god you daw that

[wispy flare]

2 different concerts

just this month

[remote bough]

but thats where my money goes

[wispy flare]

wild

[remote bough]

and I bought those months ago at discounted prices

[wispy flare]

wouldve been 5 this month

[remote bough]

and I dont spend my money on anything else really

I save 60% of every paycheck at work💸

[wispy flare]

invest in nvidia stocks

[remote bough]

LOL

[wispy flare]

anyyyywhooooooooo

lasiorhynchus barbicornis when

nuin said he'd add it

but its not here >:(

WHERES MY DAMN LASIORHYNCHUS BARBICORNIS NUIN?!

[small cypress]

Patience young one patience

The beetles must be fed first (skins)

[wispy flare]

shall I be the first to be fed after?

[small cypress]

Yeah

[wispy flare]

yoooo thats genius wtf

those abilities sound sick af

hope this gets into the game soon man

[wispy flare]

thanks, I spent a lot of my mental capability thinking of them

[wispy flare]

me too

[wispy flare]

damn, I'd imagine so, sounds like it'd be really fun

[small cypress]

Whaaaaaaatt this is

Sooooooooo yeah

[jagged tinsel]

Look what you did nuin

you made axo schizophrenic

give this man his damn beetle!!

[wispy flare]

oh shoot thats pretty cool

it seems like it might be a bit similar to dung though?

[wispy flare]

yeah, its sort of like an all or nothing dung beetle but honestly I like that

its distinct enough to have its proper own playstyle while not just being a dung 2.0

[wispy flare]

really? its abilities are just dash and speed boost...

[wispy flare]

I mean true ig but like they arent THAT similar. EBB and tiger both teleport but they arent the same. Lasiorhynchus is similar to dung in a way, though the few differences are actually key enough to make them completely different beetles

[daring acorn]

axo

[wispy flare]

dungs off ball is purely for speed but this beetles would be a stun

[daring acorn]

axo

[wispy flare]

dungs is definitely the least valuable in the game

[daring acorn]

AXO

[wispy flare]

not really cuz the dung tech makes it good

[daring acorn]

AXXXXOOOO

[wispy flare]

true but I just meant cooldown wise

[wispy flare]

WHAT

[daring acorn]

nothin

[wispy flare]

ok

[daring acorn]

mb old timer

ive honestly forgotten what thus guy even does

[wispy flare]

123 :)

[daring acorn]

oh ok so its pycno beetle

yeah i can get behind that

[wispy flare]

theres probably like 4 people max in this server who get that reference

[daring acorn]

nuin work on this double time pls

[wispy flare]

dw he is

[daring acorn]

and were all 4 of them

[wispy flare]

I wasted my no loss tournament reward on him :)

wasted isnt the right word, it was a very good purchase

"I wasted $10 on this 500 lb peice of pure gold"

[daring acorn]

if only i went in the tourney

[daring acorn]

we'd have mortar beetle in 25 minutes

i am starved

[wispy flare]

mortar beetle is pretty sick

I like how its on ball is a combination of old ebb and tiger

[daring acorn]

lvl 1 morty on the tower ❤️

[wispy flare]

is this a clash royale reference?

[daring acorn]

maybe...

[wispy flare]

my clash royale deck is literally all buildings lol

I call it my clash of clans build

[daring acorn]

i hate you as a loon player

[wispy flare]

I hate air units so much

I went against some FREAK who had 5 air units and got destroyed cuz I just didnt have enough anti air

when people dont have more than 1 air unit I destroy them though and its SO funny

I love breaking a single tower then spamming a bunch of buildings down in 2x elixir

they just cant get to my tower before overtime and they lose

[daring acorn]

should probs move this to ooftopic

[wispy flare]

no no

its ok

suggestions channel doesnt have a topic

[daring acorn]

True true

Lemme get a ss of my deck rq

Only started playing a few months ago so I’m not high rank or anything

[wispy flare]

ew an actually meta deck

I would never

[daring acorn]

Lmao

[wispy flare]

dw I'm not either

[daring acorn]

It’s not even meta anymore

[wispy flare]

I just play the game when on the toilet or in someone elses home lol

[daring acorn]

Yeah same here

[wispy flare]

I wanted to make an all spell deck but

its just so ass

[daring acorn]

Someone tried that on me today

Steamrolled em

[wispy flare]

its sort of winnable with once goblin drill and goblin barrel become a thing

and graveyard

but even then it still sucks

[daring acorn]

They tried to rocket cycle me 😭

[jagged tinsel]

guys

anyone want to ball

[daring acorn]

Where are you from again?

[wispy flare]

I will when lasiorhynchus barbicornis is added

switzerland I think

[daring acorn]

All the way up there?

[jagged tinsel]

le eu

[wispy flare]

couldnt imagine being a northerner

🤮

[daring acorn]

Neither

[wispy flare]

soft immune system

didnt even get sent to the hospital multiple times from being bitten by venomous creatures

[daring acorn]

Exactly

The snow makes your hands soft

[wispy flare]

imagine not having to experience at least one large snake trying to crawl into your house

for me personally it was a 5 foot cobra my grandfather smashed in the head with a hammer

[jagged tinsel]

mb for not being bitten by venomous creaturs when i was growing up

[daring acorn]

Yeah we’ve chopped off a few snakes heads with shovels over here

[wispy flare]

down here in the south, closest thing we get to snow is ice blocks falling from the sky

[daring acorn]

We get snow in my town once every 3ish years

[wispy flare]

I've never once seen snow in my life

only get it on mountain tops in the winter

[daring acorn]

It’s pretty baller but the day after is miserable

Anyways

Can longboy fly Axo?

[wispy flare]

yes

:)

[daring acorn]

If I go to New Zealand I’ll find one for you

[wispy flare]

bring it to nuin

so he has a reference

[daring acorn]

Cross country with a beetle

[wispy flare]

cross planet*

[daring acorn]

True

[wispy flare]

actually I think I'm cross planet

I'm pretty sure south africa is the furthest you can physically get from NA

[daring acorn]

Sounds about right

[wispy flare]

unless you're a flat earther

then its russia

[wispy flare]

we need more messages in the lasiorhynchus barbicornis thread

fellas if you could add any single beetle instantly, which would it be

[daring acorn]

Jewel stag beetle

Or Morty

[wispy flare]

this?

[daring acorn]

Yessir

Workshopping the abilities in my head

Thinking of a crush ability that breaks the ball into 2 halves

[wispy flare]

what about an ability that squishes the ball into 2 ball size for 20 seconds

faster and harder to block + lower gravity

[daring acorn]

That’s actually a really good idea

Now for the offball

[last ermine]

ooo so shiny

[wispy flare]

it looks like something you'd see in a game after drinking the stew that a tribe elder gave you

[last ermine]

EDITED COMMENT

[wispy flare]

nuh uh

[wispy flare]

it was edited BEFORE you sent your message sir

[small cypress]

Hear me out

Javelin throw normal ability

Launch yourself

Ball ability uhhh

[wispy flare]

thats just what the proposed ability here is...

[small cypress]

Hold on ball ability

Uhhhh

[wispy flare]

launch yourself stun

[small cypress]

Ball ability you start spinning the ball vertically

And then chuck it

[wispy flare]

maybe for the on ball ability you could do something like On ball ability: Charge forward for 2.5 seconds, gaining a good amount of speed, however not being able to turn very effectively. For 1.5 seconds after this ability, the ball will not be able to be grabbed away from the beetle from the front or sides. (Headbutts will still knock the ball away)

[wispy flare]

good idea

[wispy flare]

thanks

Yo this beetle idea kinda fire tbh

[wispy flare]

bug report, lasiorhynchus barbicornis cant be chosen when I press tab for some reason

must be glitched

[last ermine]

you gotta be in psychosis

[jagged tinsel]

u know first model wouldnt actually look like the beetle right

[last ermine]

it was one of the results that popped up when I searched "cool dude"

I needed a background

[last ermine]

💀

[wispy flare]

I've ran completely out of meme templates

I might just resort to using helldivers propaganda posters with lasiorhynchus barbicornis edited onto them

[young cloud]

first of all you all talk a lot in here, and second, wwhat is going on in this picture...

[wispy flare]

they're huddling together for safety in numbers ❤️

[sturdy rampart]

smart ngl

the abilities are really cool

seems like it could be fun

[wispy flare]

ikr

its sick tbh

I'm really proud of it and I hope it gets added

[sturdy rampart]

you should be, it seems like it'd be lots of fun! excited for when this gets into the game

[wispy flare]

more supporters

[wispy flare]

this is, to my knowledge, the most positive reacted suggestion post

@small cypress its a sign, the people demand lasiorhynchus barbicornis!

[small cypress]

It will come my child...

We gotta stop putting new messages in these chats

I can't check it anymore, it's getting to my head

[wispy flare]

the voices telling me to make more lasiorhynchus barbicornis propaganda late at night instead of sleeping or working are back

I might not be good at drawing but I'm mildly proficient at doing whatever this is

[daring acorn]

That’s nice sweety

[wispy flare]

im out of helldivers propaganda posters to edit

oh well

[small cypress]

Im gonna barbicornis my lasiobryncs

[wispy flare]

this ones so ass but I'm out of ideas

someone please give suggestions :(

[last ermine]

a new beetle

[wispy flare]

no I need suggestions on lasiorhynchus barbicornis propaganda

[last ermine]

oh

[last ermine]

that's not....

[wispy flare]

thats not what

these are taking more and more time to make because I'm running out of easy to edit meme templates

[spice solstice]

are we editing helldivers 2 fan arts 😭

[wispy flare]

scroll up a little, it was a last resort from lack of templates, since theres like 20 propaganda images above the helldivers one

[spice solstice]

this is a great idea

we need the lasiorhyncus barbicornis in the game

[wispy flare]

trueee

[spice solstice]

hear his pleas

[wispy flare]

alright I've hit my requirement of 3

no more now

[wispy flare]

dude

yes

[small cypress]

ball ability idea:

starts balancing on its snout with the ball in the air

on a meter so you use it as a mix up

someone chasing you you pop up on a pole

[wispy flare]

what

this seems like a meme ability that wouldnt be very good imo

[small cypress]

it would be good

i see the vision

just a good mixup tool you can spam

[wispy flare]

headbutt grab

hardcountered

I could see it being good and funny but is it fun to play with and against?

[last ermine]

make it into a pogo stick

or it could become a ramp

like the knives on picnic

bc this guy is so stick shaped you could do some goofy stuff

it could be so silly

and magical

[wispy flare]

fungus onball

[last ermine]

oh true

but not if you let other beetles hitch a ride

what if it could scrunch up and then extend and launch itself with the ball

or without the ball

if that was the off ball it could be like a long range headbutt

that could be annoying

[wispy flare]

that would be cool yeah

would fit the javellin theme nuin originally wanted for it too

[last ermine]

or that could j be it's passive

longer headbutt range

[wispy flare]

this would also make sense

aerodynamics and plus its long so the normal headbutt would feel shorter

[last ermine]

true

I can't wait to see how goofy this thing looks in game

and how big it is

how is it gonna be the same size as goliath or smaller being so long

[wispy flare]

average lasiorhynchus barbicornis main

(I love lasiorhynchus barbicornis so much but MAN is he hard to make images with)

[wispy flare]

just make it longer than goliath honestly

ladybugs like 10x bigger than it is irl

[frigid cave]

Since we were bringing up variants in #⚽│general considering how similar this to Dung Beetle it could be one for it

[wispy flare]

not quite

variants for dung should be other species of dung beetle

or similar looking beetles that do different things

this beetles.. a LOT longer

also the dash being longer and in any direction + being a stun is actually a really big change from how dungs dash is used in practice

[frigid cave]

Mhh i suppose that is true

[small cypress]

Yooo can i get a true
