ORBEROS ONLY BUILD?! - PEGLIN

[@pizzapielemon]

I think those weather vanes in the castle and mines have Taunt, essentially. You can't target anything other than them. They also seem to take double damage from horizontally thrown orbs, and half from vertically attacking orbs like Ball Lightning. They're there to prevent you from sniping the other enemies present, but they generally don't do much unless you're running an Orbelisk only build or something.

[@TheRadioactiv3man]

Since tom never targets his shots, he obviously hasn`t noticed jet ;D

[@Force2reckonVods]

Yup, pretty much this

[@DrDarkheart]

Its magic damage vs physical damage for the half damage vs double.

[@pitt2012]

@@TheRadioactiv3man Are you saying he's an Anti-Vaxxer bc he doesn't get his shots? ;) Just playing. :)

[@pshybysz]

Damage depends of it's color i think. Brown ones has 2x horizontal 1/2 vertical. Grey ones are opposite

[@trentb3148]

Honestly, Tom did surprisingly well considering the complete lack of bosses on the first stage. But god, picking that bell when he never reloads, that just hurt my soul.

[@Ihileath]

@@mikef5951 yeah, orborborbos as only rob + dumbbell is a good strat. You just discard orb repeatedly for a turn or two for big damage up. Combos with damage immunity while reloading to be genuinely broken.

26:49 the wind vane enemies basically taunt. you can't specifically target any other enemies when one is present

[@panda93247]

Hah! I didn't realize they were wind vanes until I read this. I just assumed they were lightning rods since they taunt any directed attack.

[@HaralHeisto]

@@panda93247 That and the damage reduction to lightning ball attacks!

[@ClumsyReaper]

And Tom has shown the power of the Orboros. Unless one can get the Overwhammer, I personally prefer the Poltorbgeist, just hitting all enemies makes things nice.

[@loveluclins]

The Orboros is actually just a massive trap. Even with a discard, you're still going to be throwing it away except for a handful of single target enemies. It's best use is getting rid of stones for you. It's like a better knife, that's all it is really.

[@Alba_Longa]

26:50 Lightning rod thingy will force you to target it instead of aiming for something else. It only affects orb that can freely choose target like Lightning orb or Orbelisk, most of normal orbs can't shoot the lightning rod in the back anyway and will target the closest enemy like normal. It also have damage resistance if it get hit from above(but also takes more damage from horizontal attack). Not entirely sure if it gives off some kind of buffs or debuff though.

[@if7723]

Is that what it does? I mostly go for multi strike orbs so I don't think I've ever actually experienced that.

[@mattheweves5177]

It's always a roller-coaster of emotion, and frankly I'm glad to be along for the ride. Love some Peglin!

[@bruceluiz]

My poor Tom. Why do you choose the wrong relics for your build, my dude? Love watching these.

[@patrickbohn5235]

Lol right? Gotta admire his ability to be presented with 3 options and reliably laser focus in on the absolute worst one for his build. Great series tho

[@stone5against1]

Yeah seriously.. "Oooh this gives 1.3x to crits" *picks the one that gives +1/+1 on fucking reload (which he hardly ever does more than once per battle)

[@PierceArner]

On the little bomb puzzle paths like the one at 2:08, you only need to detonate the same _NUMBER_ of bombs on that screen. I found that out after having the magnet and turning a couple pegs into bombs and accidentally completing it. Love this game!

[@josephgangai898]

I feel so bad because the special relic that cuts your health and gives you constant health regain on pegs hit is so overwhelmingly good. It would have been so good to see how well it worked with this build.

[@Dasius2]

I never loose when I get that, you stay at max health almost permanently its SOOO OP

[@danielgloyd4529]

He would have survived the end boss with it. I am not sure he would have made it there though. That 2nd to last fight went so poorly with half his hp he might not have won, I'm not going to re-watch it and count pegs and hp, but it definitely would have been close.

[@Badger3]

Always love some of the old peglin!

[@IcepersonYT]

Tom: "I do really like the ambiguous amulet." Also Tom: *literally has never used the ambiguous amulet to any significant effect in a video ever*

[@orangesilver8]

I'm pretty sure I've seen it work in one of the videos. He's right that some maps have the perfect setup to bounce against the wall over and over. I personally don't think it's common enough to care about but it does happen.

[@Loreroth]

You realize he plays this fairly often when he's not recording right?

[@IcepersonYT]

@@Loreroth it’s why I said in a video. I know he plays a lot on his own and on stream.

​@@IcepersonYT Bit of a weird thing to point out then isnt it? 😂

[@bodhi4094]

Bouldorb gets revenge for all the times he hasn't gotten to kill you!

[@MrMonkey2150]

I love peglin so dam much, please keep it up. Maybe play it with Ben? Or is that a stretch?

[@SoulReaverVidView]

The upside down mini boss definitely needs work. I think getting rid of the holes at the bottom and adding some super bouncy thing to get it to go up would help. It always feel bad to play that map, at least they nerfed his damage, he used to hit for 20. I love the build, though not taking the -50 max hp, heal on bounces relic was a huge mistake that cost you the run.

[@Khy._]

It's proof my sense of humor has vanished, becuase at 2:09 I genuinely could not stop laughing at the sound of Tom's scroll wheel. For whatever reason, that shit just tickled me.

[@zerentheunskilled]

The weather vein things prevent you from selecting different enemies. It forces you to target them, so things like the ball lightening or orbelisk have to hit them.

[@blg988333]

I do love the Peglin videos and the great drama that comes with them :) Finally saw so many videos that I went and bought me a copy of it and noticed there was a bundle with another game called Roundguard and I've been playing that as well. It's got the bouncing peglin/peggle game play but you can have different classes and you have health instead of a set number balls to use. It's been a blast and it has the same kind of rogue-lite stuff that Peglin has with artifacts and trinkets that affect game play as well as skills you can use and armor and weapons. there's a map you go through as well and what seems like quite a few different kinds of bosses. I'd love to see you play it at some point unless you are tiered of the bouncing peg-based games :D

[@AlexisofTocqueville]

That diamond board in the mines is the absolute worst. This was a fun build that just ran into a little bad luck

[@bnamesmith]

Love watching this so much, super chill. Thanks Tom!

[@rassion]

Yeah, Every time I see that upside down world boss I just get upset; they need to nerf its HP or get rid of 2 black holes (or make them smaller). they map gets shrunk too much without enough pegs and then the mixed gravity... I actually hate it everything else seems decent and/or fair, but that is too different and should be a world five like thing, especially how it basically nerfs the boulder completely and has so few pegs that the heal only has like half its merit - Hope they fix it at the very least.

[@DoABarrelRol1l]

I like how the gravity is centered almost exactly in middle- gives it that upside-down feeling. But yeah he hits pretty hard, moves at bat-speed, and has a lot of health. I think they should keep the gimicky sucky map but nerf something else of his or maybe he takes 2 turns to swing like the minotaur (idk maybe he gets dizzy and stumbles back after an attack(

[@rassion]

@@DoABarrelRol1l Agreed, it is just too tilted in the feels bad zone. I get what you mean about the gravity part bit it is too imbalanced; i think the best way to put it would be that they need to have at least one factor or gimmick in the player's favour. It comes off more as a punishment without an appropriate payoff.

[@Magmafrost13]

There's a lot of annoying things about that map, but the fact that two orbs (boldorb and orbsium) are literally unusable in it is IMO unforgivable

[@yakobsoulstorm5187]

@@Magmafrost13 Yeah, what happens if you're built around those orbs and are just unable to play?

[@smeatar]

​@@Magmafrost13 It's just something you have to take into consideration when playing, every build has strengths and weaknesses, try to pick things that cover your weaknesses instead of just focusing on your strengths.

[@ianwallace3192]

Finally, I've been waiting for the next peglin vid! Tom you bring this game to life (especially pleading to bouldorb to spare you it's "kindness"). Hurts tries but he just complains the whole time in a more negative way.

Had a great run yesterday with the orberos, the relic that does 20 damage to everything each reload (multiplied by the number of reloads) plus the 6 healing every reload relic. Could basically just spam the trash button most fights.

[@SlavaRybka]

One orb I don't think I've seen Tom use is splatorb, and I honestly think it's one of the best in the game, definitely in my top 3. It makes pegs durable and bouncy, greatly increasing how many bounces you get after that

Taking the half health for a healing relic is the best move late game. Those bosses can't do anything to kill you

Managed to finish cruciball lvl 2 so far. I feel like the devs need to widely buff up relics - looking at you grabby hand (or whatever it's called) - and really dial down on the nerfing - looking at my massacred boy electropegnet. They managed to implement more challenging stages - personally i hate them, especially the one at 43:44 and upside down man is still bs - but they have failed to compensate for it so far, in the form of buffs imo.
