[@josephrogers4666]

5:59: 'It is not the right play to keep two scorpions frozen' I would have to agree with you. I wouldn't freeze two scorpions either; as scorpions don't gain anything on level up, there's no point in levelling them up for any reason (Besides maybe the achievement, I guess?). It's better to feed a scorpion to make sure it doesn't get sniped, and to allow it to break through melon armour once it gets past 20 attack. My only issue with this phrase is that those are Snails, my dude.

[@DisgustedCheese]

You could level up scorpion to go for an early tier 6 animal or something

[@PriZ0nM1ke]

More likely, it could be advantageous to run two scorpions instead of levelling it.

[@EnderPigMan]

I think NL undervalues the shark when he's just adding a random unit. He took a cricket over it. A random shark at the back in the mid-late game can still build some decent stats and be pretty clutch even without summon strats.

[@bool.]

Numbers for if NL reads this: at the back of a 5 squad with no summons, a level 1 shark gets +8/+4 on top of its base stats. That's a 12/8 fresh out of the shop without cans.

[@RedFoxLevel101]

Shark is a low tier unit which means it is never situationally better than another unit under any circumstance.

[@m0002856]

“It’s not the horses doing” Actually for once it finally was, but not because of the in battle buffs. He bought the horse first and so his other units got +1/1 when he bought them. That buff goes away next turn, so basically the horse won him round 1 and then becomes useless.

[@benjaminwilkin2960]

If it were any other unit it would be the same

[@justaguyyknow8730]

@@mattevans1643 Nah, more like people misuse horse like crazy. If you get a horse round one, You buy a horse early, buy other animals, sell horse next turn, and enjoy free round so you need one less win in later transition. Mid-game transition is much more valuable than early shop buff with ducks, since they give bigger bang for your buck.

[@glitchxero4687]

As someone who played ducks "before they were good', my best advice for duck meta is that in a situation like that where you've got the ox on turn 3 plus a crab in your shop, don't chase that last shop slot. Just sell the ducks (source: dude, just trust me). You've got it about as good as you're gonna get it, spending gold on rolls trying to get a better unit in the remaining spot is a fool's gambit. I get that you want the maximum value out of your ducks in return for the investment in lives, but especially when you've got a mid-game superstar like ox or kangaroo, just the one is value enough, much less with a crab there too.

My man is tunnel visioning on the ox. Ox/badger isn't that good cus the badger scales too fast. What you need is a scaler (monkey/penguin/giraffe) behind it or any unit that does it's effect at the start of turn like crocodile or skunk. Works great, especially when you get a tiger as well

Duck has to be the most rapidly ascended in tier list pet in the game. From "The worst animal in the game" to the juice and the squeeze of the early game in a span of a single patch. Roll 3-4 ducks early, maybe get a lucky draw, turn 3 cheeky level up, sell your ducks army to get 3-4 levels worth of stats on your shop, endorphine rushing through your veins, enjoy a comfortable stroll to 10 wins.

[@pyther5019]

NL, just put a trash unit like a Giraffe or Poodle or Monkey behind the badger and put him up front. Badger has great starting stats, at level 2 with investment it can kill units through melon armor. If it kills one of your units who wasn't going to get any kills anyway (or who you're fine with dying, like a rooster or deer) then you win those
