The Hidden OP Thorns Build in Grounded

[@The_Apex_Of_Predators]

6:56, uh, medium also has pet invincibility on by default

[@CDiinky]

When I tested it my pet died… odd

[@franzukato2822]

@@CDiinkycan confirm pet is invincible in medium was also using a black baby ant in my save not even new game plus yet cause it’s a remade save but it does have invincibility on for me aswell.

[@MorrisKnutell]

yay new cdiinky vid😆

[@bradleymurray7140]

thank you for coming back to show us good viable builds😭🙏🏼

[@That1Guy4Never]

Very cool, Cdiinky. I was hoping thorns was viable.

[@CDiinky]

Love your build vids man! Your intros are awesome!

[@BanditoBoi01]

Im surprised there wasn't a rose thorn or splinter thorns armor that did bleed and thorns damage by default. Cause we have a set for just about everything else tbh

[@johndavies25]

I’m not in ng+ yet so I don’t have access to science cones and waffles, is it still viable?

[@nicewhenearnedrudemostlyel489]

I mean... if you have everything except that, why not try it? Lol. Like literally nothing is stipping you.

[@kingjulian5622]

Awesomeness 😂

[@DiveBombRebel]

I'd put on the crit mutations as well since the black ant armor has crit related effects.

[@caitlintwist2072]

pov you get double best thorn things on a trincket but then theres parry heal 👁👄👁

[@CDiinky]

@@caitlintwist2072 thats good for sustain when your get low

[@thebuilderblaitzter6705]

Can you try this build before game plus

[@Legocoolman]

Will it be good for infected broodmother NG+4?

[@JohnOps-pn6zp]

if grounded gets updating again ill be so happy

[@BladesofElysian]

It's done with new content. It's possible the devs have moved on to Grounded 2 early development. Obsidian is focused on Avowed for the time being, but after there is an unannounced project in their pipeline. Could be something fallout related, could be a completely new ip, could be the sequel to grounded.

[@JohnOps-pn6zp]

@@BladesofElysian hopefully so

[@xslimex4699]

Took a few tries with a slightly worse trinket but I managed to kill it, build is fire thank you

[@xslimex4699]

After you learn to train them around like freakin cod it gets way easier

[@glennpost19]

Looks easy but I love the "extremely" easy to build. I'm flat out getting 1 weapon to 13 in weeks of ng+2 farming brood mother and red ants.

[@calvincorry9381]

Wouldn't spicy safety help with general tankiness

[@CDiinky]

If you don't have the black ant pet then yes go for it, otherwise no as this will reduce you damage further.

[@snowman7974]

Does it work with a summons build?

[@CDiinky]

Sadly no, For a summon builds you want to use items that give +summon thorns.

[@Lunatic108]

Sadly it got fixed and is not viable anymore :(

[@jaysonking4055]

Why do they fix the wrong things :|

[@The_Apex_Of_Predators]

That’s not true. It still works. You’re thinking of the summon thorns build, although that build was nerfed a bit but is still usable.

[@nicewhenearnedrudemostlyel489]

What does viable mean to you? Lol. This isn't a competitive game, and the ng+ is to troll speedrunners. Less broken is not the same as not viable.

[@Squarishplum]

I tried it in ng+6 and it worked perfectly

[@CDiinky]

Awesome! Thanks for confirming plum!

[@Squarishplum]

​@@CDiinky !THIS will be fixed without a doubt in Travis's + 6 Community world i annihilate the broodmother I found the best trinket

[@braddawson6510]

My baby ant pets just get stuck in dumb places and can’t get them back

[@starkillerstarkiller6721]

Im in new game 7 and i use red strategist set and i widow dagger and as a trinket i have more thorn aggro and crit zi

[@Undertalefan22]

Do I need the trinket It's probably extremely hard to get because y'know I can't choose the buffs and stuff Can I use another trinket instead

[@blade5239]

Did they fix Nerf this too😢

[@CDiinky]

Nope not yet!

[@joshuabean4212]

I can’t get this build to work for IBM

[@iamwinter17]

IBM lowers your healing through the fight so this build is not gonna work for her unfortunately

[@dub5605]

Grounded noob here! How do you actually ‘activate’ the thorns? I feel like I followed this perfectly other than the trinket because I’m not in ng+

[@CDiinky]

If you have any thorns gear / trinkets. Any damage you take a % of that damage will be reflected back.

[@dub5605]

@@CDiinky thank you

[@Thaman2119]

Why you wait 5-6 minutes to say oh by the way this only works in mild 😂😂I’m on woah

[@Hotbog-im5vh]

Ceiling can you should’ve said I meant to the devs when they Nerf it make sure to put your name in the title

[@williamp8900]

where is your crosshair???

[@CDiinky]

Super duper small!

[@savage1144]

This build is now donkey cheeks

[@MrTheTaz]

infected broodmother???

[@tnychcknnuggets1638]

Can anyone see if it works on the ibm

[@CDiinky]

it works for phase 1&2. Phase 3 is difficult but still possible.

[@tnychcknnuggets1638]

@@CDiinky thank you tried it today and I got it after like ten tries

[@TheLookinGlasSelf]

How rare is that trinket though…

[@StarLight-xp8ib]

Incredibly rare even while save scumming its incredibly rare to get 2 or 3 of the same perk type

[@yrnfinnesse3958]
