Imagine having to explain to Ganon that you were defeated by a Faberge Egg.

[@aquamarinerose5405]

TIL what a Faberge Egg is.

[@Bundeskaiser]

Talking about this scene: I never understood why Zelda was unable to break through his shield but a damaged Terrako was able to do so.

[@aquamarinerose5405]

@@Bundeskaiser 1 I doubt they really thought about it that deeply. 2: It might be the combined force that it was like just barely not enough on its own.

[@Buglin_Burger7878]

It isn't like you'd fair any better. (Or myself.)

[@Buglin_Burger7878]

​@@Bundeskaiser Malice Terrako was merged with Gannon more or less at that point... so it was likely Terrako's own power combined with Gannon's. Terrako is designed entirely to protect someone rather then be a raw weapon... so you basically have the ultimate evil with an ultimate shield.

If you spam his laser during his C6, every single tap is a fully charged laser. It SHREDS.

[@jacciswacc4335]

Especially effective since it reveals weak points.

[@Davey_Tooie]

When you use Terrako's 6th strong attack, all regular lasers shot during it are significantly stronger and upgraded to basically be as strong as a fully charged laser. This makes it so that mashing ZR during the move deals some serious weak point gauge damage, as they're still upgraded after the final burst Terrako does at the end of the move.

[@fable23]

One of the best uses of his fully charged laser is during a flurry rush. Since flurry rushes automatically expose WPG, and also lock you into attacking the enemy, all of the laser gets pumped into weak point damage _in addition_ to Terrako's standard flurry rush string.

[@leontriestomeme9712]

In hyrule, egg scrambles YOU

[@adrianbuelna1]

Omg I just realized it’s literally an egg armed with knives!

[@horneytoaster4773]

Aaaannd that’s funny

[@isdahmaster4815]

Two things are missing from this video. One, Terrako's dash attack completely destroys weak point gauges. Two, all lasers shot during Terrako's 6th strong attack are full charged and make the move basically a weak special attack with the amount of damage and weak point damage it does, in my opinion Terrako's 6th strong attack is the single most powerful attack in the game.

[@ish030]

And he is the cutest character

[@thejackshammer7654]

Mind if I add one last thing? In his strong dash attack if you released his weaker lasers he can shoot 6 lasers at one in six directions. This can also be done in his 2nd strong attack. If you shoot the strong one during the dash he shoots off a large sweeping laser, but not in the 2nd strong attack sadly. It stays aimed forward for that.

[@WizardFolfo5284]

Lol, you took what I was gonna say but I agree to all of what you say.

[@FungiFootsie]

Damn a tiny egg time traveler lullaby tech thingy is way better than me. Congrats, Omelet, you won the challenge.

[@salmorejo_]

Developers be like "Let's give Terrako a way to attack meanwhile he defends"

[@minaly22]

Oh no! This is basically like giving R2D2 a light saber and a gun!

[@ScottE-2]

I remember a Danny DeVito meme going around when he didn't have his name yet: egg. Had quite a blast playing as him when unlocked. Nowadays he's a little too rough to get a hold of play-wise. You can also laser your enemies while in the mid-air animation so it may be a viable build to have mid-air attack with Attack Speed to really clear out HP though he doesn't really have many other mid-air attacks like it.

[@mr.personalspace7831]

the Funny Egg™️

[@SuspiciousTemmie]

One thing to point out is that the third level of charge for Terrako's lasers can only be used after unlocking Terrako's enhanced ability in the postgame.

[@Awesomeflame16]

How do I get it?

[@SuspiciousTemmie]

@@Awesomeflame16 It will appear after you've completed some of the other quests for upgrading Terrako, if I remember correctly. The quest might be unlocked immediately after you unlock Terrako, though.

[@absoluteomnis4833]

I have found that I enjoy taking Terrako an the BTG both on missions, typically sending BTG after larger targets, since its lock on devastates taluses especially, and letting terrako get rid of mostly everything else.

[@aegrajag]

You forgot to add that during his C6, Terrako's lasers from his ZR are all fully charged, no matter how long you press the button, so spamming ZR is good during this attack.

[@nox_luna]

i cant play terrako as much as i want because the entire battle im mashing the absolute crap out of ZR

[@thedorklord1029]

Quick thing to note about Terrako's normal dash attack: it deals a *lot* of damage. Seriously. Assuming all of the spears connect on the same enemy, one whole sixth of the weakpoint gauge can be removed. Put simply, it is great at digging into weakpoint gauges. The amount might be different from what I said though. I have only played on Hard and Really Hard. Edit: Strong attack 5 can expose weakpoint gauges, but only when the vortex ends. It's pretty unreliable, but it's something you missed.

[@lilharper17]

I cant wait for your tier list

[@dracoskeletal21]

You can dodge cancel during the tornado part of his C5 and continue attacking with whatever.

[@princesscadance197]

Sure, Terrako’s little lasers could be good at clearing rooms, but I’m convinced no fighter has a better room-clearing combo than Battle-Tested Guardian’s C2 sweeping laser. That thing clears entire outposts in one use, leaving only the big enemy which usually spawns after most of the small ones have been eradicated.

[@hclink7315]

If you use a unique action mid strong attacks a special thing will happen for each one, for example C3 will spin, which makes the blasts go around him as well. If fully charged it will spin around him like a beam of death

[@mannyblight6140]

I love terrako. Can we ever get more extells link videos after age of calamity videos are over

[@kevintreese4544]

What a fun character I sure hope I don’t permanently damage my fingers from holding down ZR

[@SuspiciousTemmie]

Have you tried playing as Teba? You have to hold down ZR and mash as fast as you can to get the maximum damage possible with him. Doing that with all midair attack damage seals absolutely *_shreds_* health bars and weak-point gauges. That's why he's my favorite character.

[@aquamarinerose5405]

@@SuspiciousTemmie Yeah I was gonna say that myself that... if ANY character is going to break your fingers, it's Teba.

[@angelicajimenez1631]

Me and my bfs favorite android:-)

[@XeviousvSBlackmanta]

Lol Terrako gets "SHUMP" options? Thats f'ing great🤣

[@cesarswc13]

Also you can press ZR during any console he can shoot lasers at any time even during combos like his third combo where he catches all enemies in a whirlwind spam ZR while the whirlwind is happening so he lasers them all while spinning them all too

[@ichigoakimoto]

Terako is not exactly my type of fighting style but i still have fun with him. And today i've learned to not spam his beams so maybe he will be a better one for me. Thank you very much! Your guides are awesome!

[@XxXPerseus]

I need to stop watching your vids and start playing the game more so I can unlock all these secret characters!!!

[@wackantheduck6883]

@Bico A27 Nobody tell him

[@catalyst539]

@Bico A27, Yes you did Because Ganon is actually playable

[@queazy03]

(1) When doing C6, fire charged up laser before transforming into lightning ball, then when transformed into lightning ball spam hitting ZR to fire out many lasers. You can fire out like 3-5 fully charged lasers this way in a single attacks string (though when you're in that lightning ball you can't aim well, meaning against bosses you have to be right up in their faces for them to hit). (2) C3 will cause Terako to spin, but if you let off a charged laser with correct timing, Terako will fire the laser while spinning. It seems that the ZR function is meant to be used in every part of Terako's combo strings. Also, it seems that Terako's bomb runes is especially strong against weak point gauges able to take of the first half of the gauge easy (and you can fire ZR laser during the process). So it's a good thing to use when an enemy has just a few bits of Weak Point Gauge left

[@sandwichsultan3659]

Dude, Terrako with sword and Axe is the funniest thing I've ever seen

[@spencereades]

Terrako's attack speed is so lightning quick already that stacking more attack speed felt almost like a detriment because I was having trouble zeroing in on the combo I wanted :P With those two square seals I went with Strong Attack ++ for all four seals and felt pretty good about it.

[@crystallinegamer2934]

The laser beam spins during strong attack 3 as well. Gotta love the tiny whistle box.

[@A-Microwave]

third strong attack causes a fully charged laser to spin as it's used, and the 5th strong attack shoots spread shots when you fire uncharged lasers

[@jeremyetremblay6663]

Fear the egg 🥚

[@phoenixfurno]

My advice for Terrako's ZR move: use a Pro Controller with Turbo.

[@toastyboi6371]

Map laser to left on d pad, and set auto turbo for said button. Will automatically constantly spam laser, then when you want you can hold zr to charge laser.

[@ilovechocolate3217]

Like his C5, his C3 + ZR is also significant because it lasers all around it

[@silverwalker4396]

To this day I refuse to call him anything other than “Beepo”

[@marlinilee6049]

I see your a rabbid kingdom fan. OVERATED

[@NaviPlayerPhase]

I'm surprised you didn't cover how Terrako's lasers change if you use it during his strong attacks. For example, spamming the laser button during his final strong attack makes every shot as if you fully charged it.

[@lordneeko]

He's certainly one of my favs. Spamming reg. Attacks and ZL laser fire will tear down just about any weak point guage quickly. He is especially deadly against guardians or anything 2ith malice energy

[@Sebby_Nineteen]

Everyone keeps mentioning his C6, but I will drop some other things I wish you went over: -If you fire the lasers during either of his spin attack (strong dash and C3), he will fire lasers in ALL directions at the same time. Not sure about the strongest laser, I haven't unlocked that yet. -YOU CAN SLIGHTLY AIM HIS SPECIAL ATTACK, to the left or the right. I am not sure exactly if this is really useful, but its pretty unique that this is the only Special Attack you have some control over, after the fact. Anything else like it in the Warriors franchise?

[@chardyong1769]

You are great at making video warriors! I love watching all of your videos! Keep it up!

[@thejackshammer7654]

I friggin love Terriko. The sweetie is one hell of a toy. I got lucky and made a power level 120 gear with him. I'll prolly need to take off the abilities and start optimize in it, but even with the current gear, he shreds, HARD.

[@TheRealKensterBoosteryt]

He eggboi. He smol. But most importantly, He got self defence.

[@nox_luna]

you didnt mash laser on his strong combos, the spinning one sprays em everywhere, the final combo fires giant beams everywhere.

Have the fixed the framerate in any patches yet? I dont notice many dropped frames in your footage

[@InfiniteJexulus]

Nope. The framerate still dips from time to time.

[@adrianbuelna1]

Docked mode seems like it definitely plays better than handheld, but no it doesn’t seem as though any patches have fixed those specific issues, very noticeable when playing as *spoiler characters* Calamity Ganon

[@warriorsdojo6044]

Always thought that issue was way overblown. Single player is totally fine, but 2 player still chugs a bit

For his C6 if you are pressing his lazer button during the point he is covered in lightning all of the shot will be long lazers

[@Lunimoose]

The killer eggbot strikes back

[@raarasunai4896]

There is one thing I saw you missed. With Terrako’s final strong attack, mashing ZR, each laser is full power. Since it’s used in a zig zag dash, it’s hard to specifically aim, but more lasers is better than less lasers

[@theawsomecheese9714]

Fun fact: You can explode the remote bombs a lot earlier by using Terrakos fully charged laser

[@Noctis-fr3uc]

I don't know if anyone said it, but spamming the little lasers at the vortex attack will also force out tge weak point gauge

[@bigbadmodernwolf6078]

Heh small but packs a heck of a punch. Definitely A Guardian to have on your side Incase of Trouble. And the Way The Name is Call seems a bit like a girls name.

[@Balthazar228]

Something that was mentioned in pieces but probably deserves expansion is that his combination of unique action being usable while in any other state, including guarding, combined with his Gear of the Protector having damage to locked on targets and damage reflected while guarding means that you can run around while constantly guarding and shooting lasers and become almost immortal

[@CopShowGuy]

The "ko" at the end of the name suggests it is a girl

[@SotiCoto]

Why do people keep calling Terrako "he"? I know it is a bit ambiguous to give an R2-D2 ripoff a gender... but let us keep two things in mind: #1. Names with "ko" at the end (meaning "child", I believe) are almost always female names in Japanese. #2. Terrako can participate in the Miss Vai Battle Pageant, which only allows female characters. Presumably this also includes the Battle-Tested Guardian. So... yeah, Terrako is a "she", not a "he".
