How to Play Wobbuffet in Dungeons & Dragons (Pokemon Build for D&D 5e)

[@hekonaleeinos5510]

I knew this one was going to be whack, but i was not prepared for True Strike both managing to be even more worthless than usual AND being picked un-ironically because it is fitting precisely by virtue of being completely useless. This feels like a long awaited punchline.

[@austinhaltiner1489]

I never understood the "True Strike is useless" thing. It's not for weapon attacks, it's for landing a big spell like Plane Shift.

[@thesunwillneverset]

@@austinhaltiner1489 It's also not useless for some martials either. granting rogues guaranteed Sneak Attack for example.

[@hekonaleeinos5510]

@@austinhaltiner1489 I mean that it is specifically useless here, since Wobbuffet never perform any action require rolling any kind of attack, thus never taking advantage of... well, the advantage. It even is, here, a stand-in for "Splash", a pokemon move that does absolutely nothing.

[@austinhaltiner1489]

@@hekonaleeinos5510 That makes sense. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

[@silvinity4939]

@@austinhaltiner1489 I feel like it comes from people simply not thinking of those sorts of applications. Like I didn't realize plane shift had that effect until I saw your comment just now. Most of the time when people think of big spells they think of saving throws, which true strike doesn't help with.

[@AwesomeWookiee]

Not solely in character with the teleport, but taking Compelled Duel as an enchantment spell from Fey Touched is a really powerful Shadow Tag that guarantees your Armor of Agathys is in play.

[@hotwery6645]

Yeah. When I saw this was the character Compelled Duel is what came to mind for shadow tag but I understand why he didn't because of the other options he was fishing for

[@StarkMaximum]

Compelled Duel is my favorite spell and it's always such a challenge to not take Fey Touched just to get it.

[@dragonboyjgh]

Teleport is a psychic movie. Maybe one day as an egg move.

Imagine a level 17 fighter getting dominated by a bbeg and then they have to try to kill the party. Then the wobbafett steps up, and casts encore on them.

[@BlairWasTakenAlready]

I was expecting a straight-forward Warlock Barbarian to use Rage to half incoming damage to the Armour of Agathys, essentially doubling it's duration and damage output, but I am giddy to be wrong because this build is genius

Some rule that temp HP is not affected by resistances, but I think thats dumb

[@stefanandrews5098]

@@k0pstl939 it’s funny, I don’t believe Chris Perkins, Gygax’s Ghost, or anyone else is DMing my table. That’s me. I agree with you, also you absolutely Divine Smite with an unarmed attack.

If you jam with CR’s stuff - Cobalt Soul (for all the reactions with Sentinel) and Oath of the Open Sea (to either go into shadow mode and smash, or to knock people everywhere).

7:17 Gentle reminder that Abjuration's Arcane Ward does not "refresh" on every spell cast, it just regains hp equal to 2x the level of a cast abjuration spell. (So AoA gives you 2/4/6/8/10/12/14/16/18 Arcane Ward "HP" at each spell level). I noticed you saying that on the Ansem video, but... I saw it several hours after it was posted and figured it wouldn't be seen XD.

[@anthonynorman7545]

Thank you!

[@arcticbanana66]

I think the problem is that many people only remember the first paragraph of Arcane Ward and forget the rest of it. It's easy to see how people might think the Ward is and "on or off" ability, where if it's "off" and you cast an Abjuration spell it activates the Ward, when it reaches 0 HP the Ward deactivates completely, and casting an Abjuration spell _while_ it's still "on" regenerates it like it says in the ability description. I've actually seen a player do this, he'd let his Arcane Ward burn down to 0 HP so he wouldn't "waste spell slots on just recharging it a little bit". He was really disappointed when I had him reread it.

[@SirBearingtonSupporter]

​@@arcticbanana66 solution: take a feat that gives you the ability to cast an abjuration spell of first level or higher at will! Armor of Shadows is pretty good. Also Mark of Warding Dwarf with Rakdos Cultist Background? And now we don't need Warlock 1... Increasing the Ward HP by 2 but lowering the total HP by 2 and changing proficiency charisma saving throw to intelligence, arguably more psychic.

[@joshuaburgess4158]

@@SirBearingtonSupporter same race but take orzohv background and get spirit guardians. Take 1 level of cleric (order if you have a rouge) instead of warlock, now it hurt to hit you and if they ignore you

[@trulyidkman]

@@joshuaburgess4158 that doesnt work. You cant deal damage while you have sanctuary activated on you. So spirit guardians would stop your sactuary as soon as you damage the opponent.

[@eldritchexploited5462]

This build is probably one of the best you've made, it's ridiculous in a kind of Brilliant way?

[@redtexan7053]

For RP, I feel this character works best if you are annoying as possible. You’ve got to make yourself a *nightmare* to play with. It’ll get the DM, hell even the other players if need be, ticked off and more likely to rush into combat against you specifically, and forget that’s *exactly* what you want.

[@benthomason3307]

VICIOUS MOCKERY

[@MHAL]

You could also take a second level in warlock or the eldritch adept feat to grab armor of shadows, letting you cast mage armor at will and refill your arcane ward to full between fights at no resource cost

[@alextodd1989]

The abjuration wizard in my campaign did this early on with the eldritch adept feat. It was a great move, he had a full arcane ward every initiative roll.

[@laral094]

The deep gnome gets the feat Svirfneblin magic which gives access to the nondetection spell to be cast at will. It's a 3rd level spell so it recharges the ward even faster and you don't need to multiclass. You also get a few other spells once per long rest. So if you just want to have a fully powered arcane ward this would be a better alternative. Of course this is restricted to the deep gnome only.

[@caesarsosa816]

15:33

[@snuffles504]

Mage armor wouldn't be a great choice - it raises your AC, but you WANT enemies to hit you.

[@c.v.emmans]

I am consistently surprised by a) how wrong my first-glance predictions of the builds are, and b) how creatively you use and synergize features. Warlock and Wizard shouldn't work together on paper. Like many, I predicted Barbarian for rage-flect and the D12 hit die, with a Peace Domain cleric dip for Emboldening bond. Wizard was a surprise, albeit a welcome one. A viable no attack build though...very impressive.

[@Aerostorm56]

Just think of the Warlock spells as moves you learn naturally and Wizard as Moves you use a TM to get.

[@pred6]

For some extra tanking if you have no spells to cast because you're set up or unsure what's gonna happen next, you can always take Blade Ward too, the cantrip that gives you resistance to Bludgeoning, Piercing, and Slashing damage. If you have your buffs set up, just helps you get some extra mileage without using slots.

[@jadex1058]

I had the same thought too. This is such a helpful action to be able to take to (hopefully/potentially) double the damage output

[@mdalsted]

*Wobbuffet* A plasmoid wizard (with a level in warlock) whose fighting style can basically be summed up as "the 'No U' style". Rumor has it that his black tail is the real Wobbuffet while the more prominent big blue punching bag is simply a decoy.

These are the kind of builds I really love! Its kinda like a gimmick, but in the best way possible. Keep up the good work you beautiful bastard of creativity!

[@davidfarnham5623]

This build is so cursed. I love it. Gonna steal it for a bad guy. Thank you for my characters' tears.

[@dorca9308]

While I absolutely love you somehow making a "thorns" build, the thing that makes it so much better is that since so few spells are really needed you can still play this however you want with the extra cantrips, spells, and warlock patron

[@Kytseo]

Heck, if you don't mind deviating from the source a bit, Eldritch Blast or Fire Bolt can be Hyper Beam (granted, deviates from the source material, but adds versatility, and Tulok always advises to deviate when necessary, especially when it comes to Pokemon Speak).

[@Shalakor]

@@Kytseo I'd argue Hyper Beam would be something a bit more immediately powerful, like the Disintegrate spell.

[@cooperthompson5493]

This is an iconic build. Putting the entire Wobbussy into Armor of Agathys? Exquisite

[@binho6600]

Wobbussy? 😳

[@BJGvideos]

When I woke up today I wasn't expecting that I would hear Wobbuffet versus Anakin Skywalker but I guess that's how today is going to go. You know what we need to accompany this build, of course, is Wobby's friend Jessie and her friends James and Meowth. I'm thinking J&J will be rogue/glamor bards while Meowth is a rogue/bard/artificer. All of then speccing into constitution though.

13:05 Fun fact! In the Pokemon Table Top United system, 6 rounds of combat is considered to be 1 minute of time. That means that each round is 10 seconds, which is pretty close to the 12 second mark you calculated I this video.

Sentinel would require the user to both have a weapon and to be able to hit with that weapon, both of which are impractical in this build.

[@KingZolem]

Fun fact Wobuffet is actually really popular, making it into the top 100 pokemon. The actually least popular pokemon according to statistics is Silcoon. The second least is Cascoon.

[@BJGvideos]

Depends on the poll. I remember when Simisear was at the bottom of the popularity polls.

[@TheAwakeOrangutang]

This might be a bit of an odd suggestion, but what about a Dark Magician build from Yugioh? He may be Yugi's signature summon, but he actually has a background, an entire deck archetype to pull from for what he should be capable of, and a lot of footage from the anime to use as examples.

I would love to see a Dark Magician build tbh.

[@kawawangkowboy9566]

Tulok: "... letting you send your ward to absorb damage..." Me: "is he redoing Batman?"

[@hella_lugosi]

Unfortunately the Ward doesn't fully refresh every round, but you can still fully refresh your ward in between every combat encounter with the Armor of Shadows invocation exploit. I was surprised when this exploit didn't come up but I suspect you just misunderstood how the feature worked

Just a nitpick, but "While the ward has 0 hit points, it can't absorb damage, but its magic remains. Whenever you cast an abjuration spell of 1st level or higher, the ward regains a number of hit points equal to twice the level of the spell." You kept saying "refreshing" it, which implies it gets all of that back.

3:36 I think that depends on what the poison is. If it's a natural poison (i.e. a virus or bacteria) that causes an illness or disease, then being poisoned is an inevitability. In that case, it makes sense that Psychic-types are super-effective against Poison-types because the brain works with the immune system to eliminate the pathogens in the body. It's also why so many Bug-types are part-Poison; think of how many bugs are vectors for different illnesses (e.g. malaria, West Nile virus, Lyme disease).

[@pierrealyzer2691]

that nuzlock sounds entertaining, tulok suffering is a third the reason i subscribed

[@TheRishabhBhasin]

Great video, but just for the record, counter and mirror coat do have types. They're not affected by weakness/resistance, but they are affected by immunity, so Dark types are immune to Mirror Coat and Ghost types are immune to Counter.

I go "Wobbuffet hunting" in Sword/Shield with a ghost type (that only knows physical moves) or dark type (that only knows special moves) to XP grind for this exact reason: it is oddly, indescribably satisfying beating a Lv40 Wobbuffet with a newly caught Lv15 and getting all that XP out of it...

[@CitanulsPumpkin]

I feel like I remember an episode of the cartoon where Wobbofet wore a tool belt and hard hat. Team rocket had to do some light construction work or something. You could easily add a single level of artificer to this build instead of one of the wizard levels and it wouldn't lose anything major. Hell, start off as artificer for better saves, then go into warlock 1 level, then wizard for 18 levels.

I feel like Meowth is the artificer of the group

[@AsamiHarumi381]

This inspired me to make a little slime mascot type character that could turn anyone in the party into a tank. Literally just did most of what you did, but added mounted combatant to it and spammed blade ward every turn after using armor of agathys. Literally like, slime armor the character. My friends kept calling him a symbiote. He was also a utility support by doing things like being a washing machine and using identify. Was fun, very lazy way to play and made blade ward finally worthwhile.

[@benthomason3307]

This is a rare situation where blade ward would actually be useful. it halves the damage of the next attack, further extending the mileage of all that temp hp, and further feeds into the image of you doing absolutely nothing while your enemies kill themselves attacking you.

The character is studying Wizard magic to reverse the curse and puts themselves in harms way as a means of experimentation.

[@jameswebb4545]

Doesn’t hold person require the target to be humanoid? Plasmoid is an ooze so is immune. Also, does shield actually add 43 to the arcane Ward each turn? I thought it would add 2…

[@JinWolf9]

If you cant be a slime, id argue Tiefling, as the charisma and intelligence bonus is helpful, and if your DM allows Xanathars Race Feats, then Flames of phleglethos could be a decent early game effect to help pile on a d4 to melee attackers, and you can use something like greenflame blade to activate it, and Infernal Constitution gives extra resistances, and a Con bump.

[@aquamarinerose5405]

For some more spells to suggest. Blade Ward as a miniature Protect. Sadly it doesn't really increase your ward like I thought at first but it's still nice. Vampiric Touch is a decently nice concentration spell to go on the offensive with, since it's an offensive option that also makes your THP barrier even bigger. Life Transference is.. idk if temporary hit points or arcane ward do anything to this but if it does you can basically hand out HP for free. also another thing to add onto vampiric touch,

You could get contingency and have a power kill go off when you hit 0 hp. Also I think there is a spell called Tether Essence in the Explorer's Guide to Wildemount that would fit well too.

[@kingfail3819]

Contingency will only work with spells of 5th level or lower, but Tether Essence is a good shout if your DM allows Wildemount content.

[@tinkerer3399]

Additionally Contingency won't work because resulting spell can only target you. So even if you could attach PWK to Contingency you would fall unconscious and then hit **yourself** with a Power Word Kill. Tether Essence doesn't really fit Destiny Bond because when you are reduced to 0 HP the spell is broken. Also unfortunately that spell isn't available to Abjuration Wizards so you would need to give up your ward.
