Claw Machine STRATEGY GAME! - Dungeon Clawler

[@Phoenix-kn8uk]

Hey Tyler, I know that you said that you didn’t like the water, but your synergy with it was insane without you even realizing it. You had a perk that made it so that if you kill an enemy which has poison, that poison is applied to all other enemies. You also had constant water in the claw machine and the item poison bath bomb, which would turn the water into poison water, which would turn all the fluff in it into poison fluff, applying 3 POISON PER FLUFF YOU GRABBED. You would easily have been able to use it to apply like 70 poison to an enemy, only for that enemy to die and apply that poison to all the other enemies. The build would be called, *”The Black Death Build”*

[@theauberman]

With him also being focused on plastics, I would actually call it "The Microplastics" build

[@TomG-iz3pp]

and he proceeded to never pick up the poison bathbomb the entire video

17:55 Way more than 5 damage per turn, every poison pickup is. It is 5 _extra_ damage per turn. The first poison is worth 15 damage in 5 turns. The second poison is worth 35 damage in 5 turns. The third poison is worth 55 damage in 5 turns, and so on.

[@gadrill4285]

I think he meant that since the fight was almost over, poison isn't as valuable as it was at first And in fact the poison he grabbed that turn only did 5 damage because the boss was dead the next turn before it could damage again

[@siosilvar]

@@gadrill4285 in that case, yes, but at 26:48 he says the same thing again but is wrong because the boss is near full HP

[@badrunna-im]

5 damage per turn per shuriken is the ceiling if poison _didn't_ decay, which was what he approximated. The "extra" was moot, as an action's worth being the difference between doing it and not doing it is a given in strategy games. The second poison isn't "worth" 35 damage over 5 turns, as not having it still leaves 10 damage over 4 turns from the first application. It was worth 25 damage, which is understood to be 25 more damage, or 25 additional damage, etc. in 5 turns. For example, if you donate to someone 10 dollars, your contribution wasn't worth their entire savings, it was worth 10 dollars.

[@frantisekvrana3902]

@@badrunna-im Had poison dealt constant 5 damage per turn, then 5 stacks of poison would be worth 5 damage per turn some time in the future. But poison deals _as much damage, as there are stacks,_ then decays by one. Since at this point he only had the one Shuriken for poison, I am counting as the poison decays by one between applications. 5+4+3+2+1=15 4+3+2+1=10 9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1=45 45-10=35 8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1=36 13+12+11+10+9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1=91 91-36=55

[@icecream5125]

@@siosilvarhe’s saying that because 5 more when you already have like 30 isn’t as useful as +20 or +10 immediately especially since his build wasn’t a lot about surviving most of the video

I once got so lucky at a certain claw machine that the manager came out and loosened the grip on it, the funny part was that the grip was already so loose that after he loosened it it couldn’t even hold anything in the machine

[@masterofdoots5965]

Wait, dude just like walked up and made the machine worse, when it was already so bad it barely even functioned?

[@exceptionalanimations1508]

L manager smh

[@monke7919]

The avoiding poison bathbomb is crazy, it's literally flaming fluff minus the recoil and with synergies with the other perks in the build

[@eragon78]

yea, its crazy he wasnt targeting it every time since it turned every fluff into a +1 damage per turn, that he also had other poison synergies with.

[@willsmith7114]

It's really refreshing seeing a KZbinr who actually has the ability to read the screen in front of them play this, nearly every other channel I watch has been god awful at this game.

[@NaThingSerious]

Tbh he was god awful at this game as well. He kept messing up the grab and didn’t go for any synergies, he started a plastic build but abandoned it halfway through, then the game pretty much gave him a poison build which he then refused to ever use.

[@dinoaurus1]

From what ive seen thus far in this video (midway through floor 4) the game just seems kind of... really easy? The enemies dont seem to have much damage considering how much block he just accidentally gets and they die super quick from just basic, non synergising upgraded weapons

[@samueljacobson470]

He still messes up and doesnt pay attention/comprehend some things but he is loads better than some others

[@thaumoking9947]

Honestly water seems pretty nice. If your weapons are mostly metals like you had I can see why it would be a bit annoying but if most of your good things are plastic or wood I think a water build would be pretty good

[@aidennewton]

It also has good synergy with the bath bombs. I like using the poison one. (Bath bombs change the fluff into a damaging thing)

[@HardxCorpsxKali]

I’m not a “soundtrack” kinda guy…. But wow this soundtrack is unreal. I absolutely love this games music. Very epic fight style music. I also love the upgrade styles. It’d be cool to see upgrades that affected the claws themselves as well as the things you can pickup… like maybe a boss relic gives you an extra claw with a downside.. or you get 1 claw less but it’s twice as big.. then there could be upgrades that make the grip strength of the claw stronger. Anything really.. it would be a super cool thing to get to upgrade in the game.

[@praisethecamels]

There are different characters to play with and each of them has different abilities either affecting the claws or the gameplay

[@HardxCorpsxKali]

@@praisethecamels brilliant! This game is 10/10.

[@Jaz-nt2sn]

one of the biggest perks of filling with water is if your build floats it makes grabs easier as sometimes due to the compact nature of the items you can actually reach for your desired item and receive an empty claw

This is good fun.

The golden knife was indeed there, it was in the middle, and only the edge was barely visible on top of the fluff. But I don't think the machine starts with all the items inside, cause in that exact round it didn't start with the sword.

This game is really fun to watch (and play, I think). It has the potential to become a series almost as good as peglin... downsides: it has the potential to be a series VERY MUCH like peglin, with long videos to record with no guarantee for a run to turn into something new and interesting enough to warrant a video in the first place.

[@izzylee64]

How claw machines work is that the grip strength is controlled by how much money has been put into the machine since the last prize win. The more money people put into it, the easier it is to win a prize. The base grip strength and the rate at which the grip strength increases are both variables that can be tweaked by the machine's owner. Typically the more expensive the prizes, the more money has to be put in to even have a chance at winning. That's why candy claw machines usually always pay out with something. The money you put into them is usually close to, or more than the actual cost of the candy you win.

The plastic knife just straight up did a full flip on 9:49

[@john_titor1]

Two small things: One, poison scales multiplicatively. 5 points of poison being added every turn is *FAR* better than 5 points of regular damage per turn. In fact, in only a few turns, it's better than 10-15 regular damage a turn. Since poison stacks, continually adding more poison essentially preserves previous turns' poison damage, meaning you deal the +5 damage PLUS the damage you did last turn from poison minus one. Two: Water seems to mostly be a positive. Just because some items float, doesn't mean you can't grab things at the bottom like normal, the only downside is that floaty items might fill your claw first.

[@dom7899]

the water is a negative in this case though... most of his good items are stuck at the bottom while the shields and crap floated to the top

[@john_titor1]

@@dom7899 But it really isn't a negative in this case either. All it does is space out the items a bit, actually making it easier to target certain items. The heavier items can still be grabbed. Sure, the heavy items will never be on top now, but it really doesn't affect that much other than perhaps the small sword, which benefits from being grabbed by itself, and the order the grabbed items will play out on average.

[@trippyistaken4608]

I tried this game out after watching this video and I got an insane synergy with hand of midas converting all my fluff into coins, magnets to pull in weapons and coins, coin scaling weapons, max hp increased with more coins, shurikens for poison, poison flasks for insane poison scaling (3x poison on nearest enemy, with upgraded shurikens adding 10 poison, easily reach upwards of 250 poison)
