[@unkirbyjosuke1904]

This has inspired me to actually look into the fighting mechanics of TABS, cuz I've made, at this point, hundreds of custom units and have discovered how certain mechanics work, like jumping, kicking, dodging and parrying. As well as how size affects defense. I'm still testing how weight affects units and their weapons and how exactly the AI paths around.

[@furiouscorgi6614]

Do you know how Armor works, like the barrel blunderbuss guy in the Pirate unit set?

[@unkirbyjosuke1904]

@@furiouscorgi6614 It's really easy, anything that's NOT arrows keeps it's knockback but all projectile damage gets nullified, there's a piece for the head, the torso, upper and forearm, pelvis, and legs (i think in 4 pieces too). If you wanted to make a unit look bulletproof without bumping the HP to a hundred, you gotta use the barrel armor and up the weight to, like, 15. Tho you have to either access the files or install the UCN mod for accesibility, but once you implement it, it's enjoyable by anyone in the workshop. It's really cool (and does have weak spots/spots that aren't covered like the face).

I'll be real, Spiff got me into playing TABS, and I think the one I stuck to the most was the Bard, due to its entire gimmick making it so enemies B-line towards you; so I just started trying to find the easiest way to get the mobs in various missions where I was allowed to use Bard to kill themselves. Overall I still used other units (Especially the secrets and legacy units after I got them), but Bard is my favourite unit in the game.

Great video! Will always be down for TABS content.

That said I did resort to off-ledge strats for some levels that felt impossible otherwise, but it was very enjoyable trying to use one singular unit to destroy whole armies using some skill (and a lot of hitting enemies from behind objects).
