Are Constricting Chains ACTUALLY Good Now? - Peglin

[@michaelvey42]

Oh boy I'm really excited to watch Tyler experiment with constricting chains while pegging

[@michasokoowski6651]

👁👄👁

[@Shooshpa-z2e]

PLEASE! PLEASE GO AWAY! I ALREADY SAID I DONT HAVE ANY NUGGETS! PLEAAAAAASE!!!

[@ertyu760]

Mm i too enjoy being chained and pegged

[@flomieyt]

real

[@TheMimReaper]

Wait what did you just say

[@FranXiT]

22:32 he still remembers... somewhere in there... there's still the Bloons player...

[@VinTheCop]

Theres still a bike and it has a dildo.

[@jameslovdokken]

Im so glad you pointed this out😂😂😂

[@santiagoorgeira9142]

Despite everything, it's still you

[@Nevir202]

I don't know the game well enough to get it. Was that just a really hard wave?

[@suursuits7637]

The mind forgets but the bones remember

[@Randomsomewhat-kinda-quasi-sem]

14:25 - If an orb can pierce a peg, it can go through vines! The x was because you would hit a peg at the same time, triggering the vine to cath the ball. If an orb pierces a vine, the vine gets removed, too! You can see that happening with the poltorb a little later, going upwards and piercing the vine

[@LimeonCandy]

I don't know why I felt the need to do this but that poltorbgeist at 22:56 ended up hitting a grand total of 425 pegs

[@ryviusch.nooneid9002]

Very specific, love you

[@FoxSlyme]

Why not 416?

[@LimeonCandy]

​@@FoxSlyme I went based off the the corn not damage values

[@FoxSlyme]

@LimeonCandy so which one is correct and why?

[@LimeonCandy]

​@@FoxSlyme It depends on what you count as pegs. You are correct that 416 pegs were hit but hitting bombs also count towards the corn but not to damage so it's really up to your definition of "pegs"

[@coryman125]

The statue upgrade is TECHNICALLY a good deal. One upgrade for 15, then leaving for 5, is a 20 cost upgrade. One for 15, one for 20, then leaving for 10, is two upgrades for 45, which is 22.5 each, which is slightly better than doing it normally. Plus it happens in one floor, where normally getting two in one is 25 and 35. I sometimes have to give myself this pep talk when I get scared by the cost of leaving. It is worth it up to two!

Constricting chains and pegging. There’s a joke to be found here but I can’t figure it out

[@whackareal]

Yeah the concept is the joke itself at this point

[@cakeyeater7392]

Not to mention balls

[@jackeyyang6569]

The jokes really just write themselves

[@oriontherealironman]

The pieces are here. I'll figure this out.

[@damonvannostrand858]

22:33 he's having bloons flashbacks

[@OmikronTitan]

4:04 Bats can actually see just fine. They have pretty good eyes that help them see in the dark. They get that reputation from what looks like erratic flight and the use of echolocation to aid in finding food (instead of relying purely on sight).

[@SuperDZ555]

23:55 Unfortunately, nothing happens if you get all of them in one run, because A. you're not intended to, as each chess piece is locked to a specific class and B. there's only 3 out of 6 chess pieces

[@Tsukengnek]

I thought "wdym out of 6, there are way more!" Then I understood -_-

[@Kero-zc5tc]

Generally you don’t call a pawn a piece unless you mean the physical set

1:27, these quick witted jokes are part of the reason i subbed to this guy hell yeah

[@greenapple9477]

"Can something invisible can go blind?" Realistically, if someone could become invisible, since light couldn't go through their eyes, then yes, they would be blind.

[@rysea9855]

Well unless something can both absorb and emit light perfectly to create the illusion of invisibility

[@Nevir202]

@@rysea9855 Or if the invisibility is just illusion magic, meaning it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with photons.

[@LawrenceOakheart]

​@@rysea9855Really the invisibility we can currently create is through bending light.

maybe the invisibility was the friends we made along the way

[@JosiahBradley]

Biggest betrayal in gaming? Mario jumping off Yoshi over a pit to get the goal, no. Tyler removing a level 3 poltergeist because he can.

[@purepandemonium8276]

Like Yoshi, Poltorbgeist is a tool to be used and discarded.

[@matthewdebeer8453]

22:37 Haven’t you seen the videos of the mirrors reflecting things that are hidden behind a piece of paper, like an egg? The mirrors see too much, we must blind them before it’s too late!

[@thelividdeads]

FUN FACT : There are no blind bat species. Not a one. Most have Better low-light vision than humans could hope to have, they just use Echolocation for food location ( And to augment their vision while zipping around in the dark

[@thelividdeads]

This said it's still reasonable for Bats to be immune to blinding because they can echolocate.

[@DWargs]

15:12 Yup, and Poltorbgeist is not the only orb that can break vines either. I'm sure you can figure them out. Getting one of those orbs is usually a game changer for the Leshy fight.

[@aidanbaker9401]

an interesting thing about the chain is now that it has 2 direction shots you really only have 2 choices on where to shoot them so making it 3 options instead of 4 for angles to shoot would actually make it stronger. a very interesting example of how lowering stats can buff things sometimes

[@TwoTailedGamerYT]

Is it just me...or was 32:02 Oddly satisfying to watch the big Icicle pierce through all the enemies XD

[@druidknight1513]

14:25 I believe the Go for the Icircle does actually pierce vines before it pierces it's first peg, Icircle does the same, Concetrication and Necorbmancer also ignore vines, as does Poltorbgeist when traveling upward, which did happen later in that fight. (I might have forgotten one, but generally pierce effects ignore vines)

[@Rinof10]

Also the lazorb

[@saltmemes]

infernorb actually burns through the vine

[@nejx8711]

A little tip for dealing with confusion, just remember that you're constantly playing at 2x speed, so just slow it back down

[@randomidiot7765]

Im pretty sure the aimer spins at the same speed no matter the game speed.

[@specopspoptarts7525]

He tries this at 28:40, it doesn't change

[@ETG168]

25:35 It would be funny if chain + confusion made it switch between the 4 directions, rather than rotate freely

Just to note in case Tyler didn’t notice - there are coins in the minesweeper fight

[@NoahCoontz]

Shout out to Ben for editing

[@flomieyt]

very

[@astrogravy123]

14:20 yes it pierces through it as if it was its first peg

[@semajniomet981]

Tyler, what's been your favourite moment while pegging so far? My favourite moment is when you decided to duplicate all of your orbs at an event while you had the Anvil while at low HP.

[@assaaddandashi7396]

22:23 While it may seem like he will never make bloons content ever again. Let’s be honest, he’s never really stopped making bloons content

[@secretmeister]

Its funny, bats arent blind, they can actually see! They just cant see in the daylight, and also use echolocation.

[@masterimbecile]

Just gonna shout out the editor for speeding up the gameplay while keeping Tyler’s frame at normal speed to keep the video more watchable

[@shaunnolder7211]

That was a tense watch after watching you take chains, and the dropping poltorbgiest!

[@mangouschase]

i find really funny that this build counters really hard the spawners and single target, and got the ballista as act 2 boss

[@FlandPark]

Always pleased to see more Peglin

[@DWargs]

Okay. I was not expected that Boss Relic combo. That's awesome.

[@and-there-it-goes]

Once I got a Lv3 Rubborb with Bouncy Castle on the dragon boss. That was my first orb. I one-shot the boss.

[@hatimzeineddine8723]

"who needs poltorbgeist?" Immediately then needs poltorbgeist

[@HardxCorpsxKali]

33:11 does he not know that the dodge chance can’t be applied if the orb doesn’t attack??? It specifically says that “when fired” key word or whatever.

[@ezzzzyyy]

4:09 actually, bats have completely average eyesight. The "blind as a bat" came from old people being called "an old bat", not the animal

[@TheQuicksilver115]

Constricting Chains - Cursed Mask combo is sick

[@wisppandemonium8106]

The mirrors halve targeted damage, but don't reflect it. They reflect anything you throw horizontally, but those also do 2x damage.

[@Beasthunter1408]

11:15 was actually a 1/20 miss from blind because the ballusion didn't go down, tyler got lucky there xd

[@S_N-Sunny]

Ah... yes 22:33 63, terrifying number indeed

[@IDESTROYER236]

Consitricting Chains + Cursed Mask. He got that Seija Kijin build online.

[@neonpurplecake7160]

Has anyone else noticed that the angles that constricting chains makes you shoot at is initally formed from where you cursor is when you start aiming a shot?

[@Bombsuitsandkilts]

I know this wouldn't be your regular type of video, but would you make an orb Tier list and/or a relic tier list? I would enjoy that.

[@AvangionQ]

23:33 All of the orbs benefit from criticals, so that Critsoballos would go hard ⚠

[@De_an]

22:56 - 23:28 This has to be the best and longest (back)shot Tyler has ever taken in this game, right? I mean, I don't think any other shot has lasted 32 seconds and done 2080 damage at the same time.

[@WooperButBetter]

Can’t believe he would do that to my boy poltorbgeist

[@ADudeWithAChannel]

Take a shot everytime someone in the comments makes an innuendo. Take 2 if it has to do with the title. Take 3 if it's also referenced in the video.

[@Kaebuki]

Are you trying to get someone killed?! 😂

[@emeraldbeedrill]

In Russian, the relic is called "Цепи Руины" or "The Chain That Ruin"

[@Yipper64]

if there's not an achievement called "untoucha-ball" for getting through a game without taking any damage, there should be.

[@slimecubeboing]

33:08 just after he said it the invisible enemy missed due to blind

[@aborzq1233]

Thanks for the video

[@isabellavettese6217]

Love your Peglin videos! Would you consider doing a run where you can only take purple balls? Might be kind of a cool challenge to mix things up

[@CassieRedsky]

Imagine if making a mirror blind applied half as much blind to you.

[@BossitroniuM]

Fun fact!: bats are not blind! They have great eyesight that is tuned to seeing at night!

[@Teyiscool]

ALIENSROCK POSTED LETS FUCKING GO

[@isaacackerley3977]

Love your stuff bro

[@Sauspreme]

Constricting chains is never good IMO lol You might get your run to level 3, but the upside down elite is pretty much a guaranteed run ender. Your second orb is shot straight into the pit, and out of the two directions your other shot can go, neither is sufficiently upward to hit more then like 5 pegs before crashing back down. Never mind, I take that back! I never considered that taking both the bad boss relics, that it actually becomes good! That's amazing!

[@Rev_Erser]

14:26 it actually does!

[@Myster_kirbs]

Ladies and gentlemen, thanks to a new update, "constricting chains" multiple choice questions have all been converted to true or false questions, and Tyler couldn’t be happier, as I would be too. "Kids these days just want descisions to be made for them and to reap the benefits anyways, gonna ruin this world." -That one local old cranky man.

[@jamiesummerfield6099]

A moment of silence for the Poltorbgeist

[@evanbrand939]

It would be cool if while you had the chains if you got the forging event you could have the chains removed and it would give you some other relic.

[@Hooples]

Opened KZbin at the perfect time

[@DevilDude505]

There is a relic you can get that increases your max evasion to 300.

[@KaydenTucker-cn5sd]

8:05 I think I’m finally figuring out this fight *cuts to ad* I couldn’t figure it out

[@ammonbergevin5302]

is constricting chains still bugged where you can aim it because one of the directions is where your mouse is pointing whenever the shot begins

[@blablablabla4418]

I just found something out (although I'm not fully sure if it's true). If you look at 24:25, you can see that Tyler is getting coins from his shot. But before the balls fall down, the game gives him his coins. That means that the game preplans how a shot will go before it is finished.

[@FoxDog1080]

The minotaur fight seems unchanged

[@NoahCoontz]

Love your content Tyler!

[@kashifraja8451]

shout out to editor man for the action replay

[@undergravitydownforce714]

🥰 every boss battle has coins! you gained over 60 in that very first shot (meaning that relic wouldved given u an instant 60 evasion)

[@ThatJazzCat]

Bro is pegging me every day its so good keep going tyler

[@andrewevenson2657]

The coin is actually good now, and you should take it next time you get the chance. I will explain how it changed so stop reading to avoid spoilers. So now there are two slots that are 2X damage, two that are 1X damage, and 1 that is 0.5X damage, meaning if all your shots landed randomly your average damage would be 30% more. But more importantly, every time the ball falls in a hole it multiplies shot damage by that amount, so if you have multi-ball and 3 balls land in 2x, that is 8x damage. In other words, you get exponential damage scaling with the coin and multi-ball. The formula for average damage if all shots are random is (shot damage) x 1.3 ^ (# of balls). So a 300 damage shot with 5 balls would have an expected average damage of over 1100 damage. Obviously there is no X1.3 multiplier so that is a formula for average. Realistically the damage is likely to be way higher hitting multiple 2X slots, cause your shots are not random and you can give a bias towards better slots. And the pie slice still protects you from the crappy 0.5 slot. I believe the fire was moved to a 1X slot to balance the pie.

[@cosmicskydragon333]

You're actually wrong and it is still bad for a very simple reason. For most regular enemies you can 1-shot them, so there is no damage boost only losses. This gives regular enemies more chances to get closer and ranged ones more chances to attack. But what is even worse is the law of averages doesn't really matter, you can get multiple .5x in a row entirely based on luck and board design as you need to refresh. The board design can also make it so you're doing effectively 0x damage with multiball. 30% damage over an extremely long period of time isn't practical when you're losing in bursts which can end your entire run. You can realistically expect multiple .5x in a row a few times a run. Unless you're so overpowered the .5x doesn't matter this still isn't good and is crippling against some bosses which have minions. It is a trap.

[@superkiller5002]

22:23 was that a BTD reference?

[@imsteve3493]

ok, but what'd happen at the gold statue if you spent enough that you don't have money to leave?

[@000Dragon50000]

Wait doesn't that mean the confusion mask and the chains combo really well? Essentially partially cancelling each other out and just leaving their boons? EDIT: Oh you got both, nice~!

[@shehabwazwaz1014]

Just so you know There is a relic shoe relic that make you can go to 999 ballution

[@PieletPi]

Making this comment before watching the video so i might be repeating previously stated thoughts, but while constricting chains are good, they are not fun. It makes the game less about strategy and more about seeing big numbers, which while big numbers are fun, feeling so limited isn't.

[@Pro-Tayto]

has there been a "do it for the vine" joke made yet?

[@VilgotHedlund]

Imagine if u didnt pick the corn, u got matryorbshka and matryoshka shell, every four shots if it was with a matryorbshka would be 64 balls
