JOIN THE CLUB - Cacti Club Saver - Brotato Danger 5 Random / Random

[@JandarLefey]

Honestly, if the base damage of the thorns was 2, the club would be SO much more playable.

[@Cephalopocalypse]

That's a great idea - I'm not sure it really *needs* a change, imo having weak weapons in the game is good, but if you were going to change something I like that much more than giving it better scaling.

[@Midjet]

Great run, cactus really do need a bit of love on the damage for the ranged component.

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Yeah - I think cactus clubs are a weak but playable weapon, but the combination of a weak weapon and weak class as well as me misplaying the run really did us in here.

[@ramtasitic2276]

I think the Cacti club has its place within brotato, generalist and apprentice can use it decently

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Agreed! I also think weak weapons are just good for the game, it allows for challenge runs like this one

[@lorendetels4205]

Cacti Club seems like it needs some help from the developers. I look at using it from time to time and the pick something else.

[@Cephalopocalypse]

I tend to think it's fine the way it is, because I think having weak weapons in the game is good, and it's got a very good use for apprentice and generalist, but the combination of weak weapon and weak character really got me here, combined with my bad decisions as well.

No problem bro 🎉

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Thanks so much again!

I am utterly failing at using the entrepreneur. I think it has to do with how the knock back is coded into the mobile game for me, because the wrenches always end up smacking enemies into me and I die because of that. Any tips for that? Cause it seems the only path forward is blocked by a knock back bug

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Yeah, knockback on mobile, specifically for wrenches, seems to be a real problem - I've heard several people having serious problems with that so you are not alone! The very first random character / random weapon video I did ended up being entrepreneur with taser, which went a lot better than I expected, so that may be an alternate option if you check that video out! :D

I don't think coupon recoups its own cost on saver, comparing to just keeping the money and earn interest of piggy. the 5% discount is in reality just 3.3%

[@energeticgorilla]

i think he got is so early that the first coupon would have, but i agree with you past like wave ~7

[@bjarkov12]

@@energeticgorilla For 26 cost the piggy would yield an interest of 5 per round. To get a discount of 5 per round it's a 150 materials. So you have to spend 150 just to break even on the discount. To actually pull ahead you'd need to spend another 750-800 materials. I'm not saying it doesn't happen eventually, but I question if that money could not be put to better use. It's an item that promotes spending resources, on a character that promotes banking resources

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Good point! It's definitely something I needed to consider more - I hadn't played Saver in a long time before starting this video, so it wasn't really top of mind.

[@heranphillips5652]

Ha, my first time seeing you lose! So you're not some superhuman Brotato master! (Okay, you are, but still...)

[@laQwoter]

This weapon is such a bait, scaling is off for it imo

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Yeah - I tend to think they're fine as is (weak weapons are good to have in the game imo), but the combination of a weak weapon and a weak class really got me here, and then I made bad decisions on top of that

[@thedeaderer8791]

Lol first

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Fast as lightning!

[@PreKGraduate]

Is it possible to just build pure ranged damage and attack speed with the cacti club since you get more projectiles (and thus more ranged scaling) as you level them? Or is the base damage just too low to even consider that as an option?
