The early caterpillars get the worm (Super Auto Pets)

Super Auto Pets on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/17...
This came from my stream on October 7th, 2021. Catch me live every weekday from 11AM-4PM here: / northernlion
Super Auto Pets is a cute free autobattler (like Teamfight Tactics) that is really cute and has some strategic depth. Give it a try, you may be surprised by how much it mooves you!

[@OutandDown]

NL seeing a snowball unit literally designed to be taken as early as possible: It's too early.

[@heyitsmort7744]

Too early for dog roll me

[@omega2432]

Now it’s too late

[@MadDannyWest]

NL actually made a joke for people who saw the twitch income leaks, "thanks for the supporting the little guy, we can't let those guys in the top 100 take all the money!" The joke is that he's number 101 lmao

[@Shrooblord]

omg amazing

[@Tubeytime]

Ah crap, I hope he doesn't retire early

[@steely5256]

Thank god this came out I was getting Super Auto Pets withdrawals.

[@Panda-sk9wl]

I’m getting win withdrawals

[@Craykiller223]

dude same another shatters without super auto pets and i woulda died

[@Michael-sh1fb]

6 hours of SAP streams today. Content incoming

[@jarjab2games]

I mean it is a free game you can play at any time on either the pc or phone.

[@DaedricDanish]

Bruh

[@Ervalo]

I feel this series deserves a drawing in the thumbnails by now.

[@afrasiabefrasiyab8765]

i volunteer to make it happen. hmu if you wanna see my portfolio, egg

[@mrrp405]

Look what happened to snkrx though

[@ursafacet]

@@mrrp405 exactly my concern

[@killermelga]

@@ursafacet What about it? He liked the game, he played the game, he grew out of the game. Seems perfectly reasonable

[@ursafacet]

@@killermelga Not unreasonable, just a bummer for those who were hoping for more. No hate here

[@greenoftreeblackofblue6625]

This guy just streamed this game for 5 hours straight don't worry guys you'll eat well

[@RatToku]

This series is the best thing since sliced bread

[@FrostyFyre]

Fuck bread, give me more SAP!

[@bustabubba6712]

It's almost funny how good this series is. I keep switching between playing the game and watch NL. So good.

[@joesmith7049]

The Headstrong moment honestly killed me and it's going straight on my gravestone

[@Dragonemperess]

Imagine seeing that on a HEADstone, and then a hand bursts up from the Earth. The oddest zombie ever.

[@LexanderMiller]

Counting Crows with “have you ever had a dream” was the reason this guy is so popular. Old-head meme mixing straight into new school meme

[@Szanth]

IT KILLDED ME HE TOOK ALL MY CANS NOW I CAN'T ANYMORE

[@Shawnnzy]

Why am I so addicted to this series?

[@NostalgiaFactor]

Because it's a simple autobattler that's easy to follow and understand, as well as absurd enough that NL can say shit like "I forgot the deer summons a 5/5 bus".

[@banjothulu]

Juice me. Squeeze me.

[@Xman360z]

I'm dismayed that you can get a squad with a fully levelled octopus and three 50/50s and still not win

[@Acc_Expired]

NL please dont read this comment in a snarky internal voice; I have the best intentions. Pill+deer is objectively wrong for 3 reasons. 1) The deer body is useful. Why have a bus when you can have a bus and a free deer. The deer body works with whale, absorbs dolphin hits, removes melon armor, etc. 2) Bus cannot be leveled up reasonably 3) If the plan is to invest and create a big unit with splash attack in the late game: just buy a chili pepper late game. If you plan to heavily invest in the bus's stats, invest in literally any other unit and buy the pepper later. If someone does well with pilling a deer, they are doing well in spite of that decision, not because of it.

[@andrewp6738]

The only pro-bus argument is that you can feed it directly, but for 6 gold you get +5/+5 (by leveling up the deer): two pears gets you less stats for the same price (+1 gold if we consider the pill as well). I guess you can give the bus melon or garlic? But that's a worse investment than what you described, the late game chili.

[@gabrielfrear7412]

another pro-bus is units like rhino or hippo that counter any summon squad, but again at that point you're better off investing in something besides the bus strat

[@tearsofdenial3796]

@@gabrielfrear7412 against rhino having the deer or pilling the deer is effectively identical, either the whining price it’s ability kills the 1/1 and hits the bus or it just hits the bus, actually if the first unit is a deer and it dies to rhino the bus survives and gets the splash, that’s not the case if you pill the deer

[@The_Andromeda_Galaxy]

You might as well add steak to the deer so it has a good chance at wiping out the first thing it hits then hitting even further back into the other side.

[@TheTrueEvilSpud]

The reason people say to pill the deer is because he's running a dog and isn't going to keep the deer long term. If you pill an animal with a summon your dog gets buffed and you get the gold back for the pill.

[@b4llistichunter935]

NL you’re doing a lot better and I’m here for it. New strategies and doing well with them, pawg

[@RozKounelakion]

Pawg? Your autocorrect fucked you up there brother lmao

[@RoachDogg_JR]

A PAWG is something else lol

[@andrewp6738]

I agree. I'm happy to watch him play this game regardless, and he clearly enjoys it, but it has been a bit frustrating to see his strategy remain pretty stagnant over the last few videos.

[@fuckusingfullname]

Op is a bit sus

[@b4llistichunter935]

You’re correct. Autocorrect fucked me, I apologize for my PH habits 💀💪😂

[@ChaosDL.]

This was well played, I enjoyed seeing how much you've improved with deliberate level ups and animal rotations with the dog

[@Mysticfateee]

I love how he's worried about anything when he has THREE 50/50 units... You literally cannot be beat unless someone potentially has a level 3 bat that weakens all of them Edit: Ok nevermind literally within the last minute of the video 30 seconds after i made my comment the cheetah is a huge counter and i had no idea

[@PongzeLor]

I dont care if Nl wins or loses i’m here to see a caterpillar pog out of its shell

[@candybar9000]

Would you rather get one win or one draw? I'll take Option B. That's what scaling is. Find a way to scale, it'll change your life.

[@oliverb7897]

i have no idea how to scale in this game lmao

[@fernandopessoa7463]

Yeah but then it puts you into the pool of other teams that have been drawing all the time too, the end game is just 5 50/50s throwing haymakers.

[@pogusmaximus7162]

Would you rather get one win now, or the ability to get a win later? I’m taking the ability to get a win later every time, it’s called passive wincome, when you understand it your whole life will change.

[@oacmd282]

How do you play for a draw?

[@The_Andromeda_Galaxy]

@@pogusmaximus7162 Yeah but it's +1 win and the ability to get a win later. Getting the win now lowers the odds of you not making it to 10 later, at the same time it doesn't prevent you from still being able to win later on. You'd still be up against people with the same amount of rounds as you so it wouldn't give you any advantage, sure you can scale, but your opponent will too.

[@Haldthin1]

These videos are popping off! They're distilled pog given to us in peak form.

[@xxghost_preyxx]

I'm so glad he's finally optimizing the Dog.

[@slicksleepy6622]

Can you sing that headstrong cover again? For the newspaper…

[@DontExpectMeToListen]

LOVE to see ennel trying out new strats

[@DEMillerEarl]

Lovely rendition of headstrong

[@totalphantasm]

Ennel selling a +1+1 to 4/5ths of his team for a +1+1 to one unit

[@mattbarske8655]

Because of you, I’m addicted to this game, I cannot play it cause I don’t have my own computer but i can’t stop watching it

[@TheShut1]

14:00 oh don't mind me, just saving one of my favorite NL quotes.

[@fernandosobrino3118]

that first run had some absolutely pog tactics tbh, a couple better choices would've made that into an absolute stomp, it was big brain plays anyway tho

[@Thomashatkins5]

Dude I love your music references

[@caeligocielo5634]

At the end of the episode, ya gotta love hearing 'Run it back' for you know that more pog awaits.

[@Snazzysnail15]

I think with a strong gorilla you want it to start with a melon armor ideally, since that still causes the coconut shield to go off

[@BeanieBoi]

I'm glad NL actually still plays this game, it's been a blast to watch.

[@andrewlee9257]

Surprised he didn't catch a DMCA or copystrike with that beautiful rendition.

[@ep1633]

It was awesome seeing NL play with a new build. He was so close too

[@powfoot4946]

definitely one of my favourite nl series for a while now

[@Ryodudev]

This is extremely wholesome content and I'm glad nl is getting so into it. Keep it up egg!

[@billywilliams18]

I never comment, ever. I've been watching since 2012 at least. That being said, this is the most pogged, juiced, squeezed, series you've ever produced.

[@TripleGia]

"I'm gonna be a Naughty Teapot" -NL 2k21

[@KainMoogle]

Egg: we dont need the shrimp The very next turn: Buy and sell forever

[@jammjar8838]

One unit that I've been picking up quite a bit recently and seen relative success with despite never seeing it on other peoples teams is the Swan. Is anyone else getting something like this? I feel like if you can get 2 or 3 extra gold every turn you can steamroll so much easier than normal, and I find it bizarre that I almost never see swans

[@mikedawson9824]

The Trapt reference is top notch NL.

[@Pringler4Life]

loving this series

[@mr.waffles8739]

just watched him stream this for 5 hours on twitch, and I still want more

[@carboniris]

NL, you should really try out the t rex sometime. You had the opportunity to sell your cow and buy the T rex with 3 gold remaining. usually late game you spend your last 3 gold rerolling and freezing, t rex allows you to instead buff your entire team.

[@HighLanderPonyYT]

Yes Egg, you've started ascending. Nice plays!

[@mechakinggidora]

I have to say at first I didn't think much of this series. Now I want it on my phone and my fridge so I can pog wherever I can

[@SemiIocon]

I love how the game was like "I very strongly suggest the worm to you".

[@plagueboy4353]

I am watching every single super auto pets video you have

[@zschmoopyz]

NL really be sleeping on that tabby cat. That cat has been carrying me. Spam all foods on that cat, and it buffs your whole team. Economy and food buffs team is pog.

[@AlaskanWolf16]

Watch me out here commenting and liking to keep this series going. Love watching this at work.

[@aGiantChimpmunk]

I just got my first 10-win while watching this video, I've never been more pogged

[@plolp]

I have begun playing this game. Curse you, it is so addictive. I can't stop pogging

Really enjoying the videos!

very comfy series, i like it

[@brandonrios4917]

You gotta hold the worm till it’s tier 2 otherwise you are occasionally getting a +1/+1 buff on a unit that starts as a 1/1

[@MrGeebsTheLegend]

Longtime fan of northernlion started with Isaac back in rebirth if ykyk and this is the best I love super auto pets for no reason

[@HackionSTx]

The Bluebird is nice with the Beret but the Caterpillar is just Pog City.

[@yungkenwud6397]

It's either instanced like you were saying, or they doing what Reynad is doing for his game in development (the bazar) and it's essentially an 'infinite lobby' where you are just matched against a random player at the same turn as you.

[@knackname6053]

10/10 title on this one

[@Bifocal_Burrito]

Some day soon there could be a bespoke video thumbnail and that does leave me feeling pogged.

[@styrofoamcow6996]

Yeah had a feeling the level 3 octopus wasn't gonna be enough

what is the "him me him me?" thing a reference to? i need to know bc it makes me laugh every single time

[@john_titor1]

Can someone explain why you'd ever want to pill deer for a bus? Isn't it just objectively worse?

[@rattlesnek3847]

Can other animals grow past 50/50? Is the 50/50 cap specific to worm?

[@monafairy99]

4:16 had me reeling NL hahahah

[@SutaSafaia]

So what do you think of basic vs xpac so far? Now that they're instanced they're very different experiences from what I understand.

Basic is a lot better due to the presence of dodo

[@litapd311]

played the game because of you, either i'm trash or the game got harder since your last stream (and i think you also said that in a stream). pogged as usual!

[@allykat5931]

Had a run where I constantly stacked my hippo and kangaroo to 50 50. Sadly i lost on 9 wins cause i was put vs someone that had a scorpion right where my hippo was :(

[@sipntea]

4:20 why did he start saying the lyrics for hangingaround by counting crows

[@noway2451]

18:16 in what world is a 6/8 bat better than a poodle that gives +5/+5 every turn. Or +10/+10 after one upgrade

[@Aerowind]

Draw is actually better than a win for me. To me, a draw is an extra turn to build my team. The most disappointed I've been in this game is getting a really good team rocking and then getting told I have to quit because it got too good.
