It feels so weird how risky this move is when grasshoppers can use it as a quick startup for their flight. Songbirds are high tier because of how quickly they can weave around threats with their nearly instant flight, and yet Grasshoppers fumble when they have the same blueprint but with a powerful, combo breaking kick that on paper would set them apart from both songbirds and houseflies. Guess the silverfish must've gotten to that paper before the grasshopper could turn it in

I get why Orthopteras may be mid-tier individually, but if you’re ever lucky enough to spawn during a population boom, you get to reclassify as a “Locust” for the entirety of the event, and you can do some real damage when you and your buddies swarm! Really cramped a couple of Human metas in particular! Don’t get me wrong, you’re all but guaranteed a game-over at the end of the event, but while it lasts, it’s the most fun you can possibly have playing *any* insect build!

A note on cockroaches: they have a chance to cause a passive debuff on Human players, sometimes procing to an Intimidate or Terrorize debuff. This effect gets a boost when in flight. Some cockroaches end up terrifying stronger Human players because of this. It's not enough to bump them up from C-tier, but it is a very useful perk

@leotamer5
@leotamer5 2 жыл бұрын
This is actually a major debuff as this same effect can taunt a human instead, and cockroaches have poor matchup against humans. While they can often times escape, or tank a few hits, a human equipped a boot can use a squish attack to overwhelm a cockroaches impressive defensive stats. And when significantly taunted, humans can become equipped with far more powerful chemical weapons that are more effective against groups of cockroaches. An insect player is far better off being ignored by humans, or by having humans thinking they are kind of neat.

I think it is important to note the impact non-social Hymenoptera have. Parasitoid wasps are one of the most important balancing forces on other high tier insects. Many insects that cause problems when they get ported other servers have populations on their native server mainly controlled by a species or two of parasitoid wasps.

As a silver fish main, I am greatly offended. Sure we suck at pvp but we can survive years longer than most insects. On top of eating wood and paper, we can also eat our own shed skin, and with this can survive in a jar for years with limited resources. I've always been able to pass on my genes and complete the main story multiple times before dying off. Were definitely more of an rp kinda play style, just coz we can't build or pvp like the best I really think we're being overlooked ❤️🤗

Butterflies and moths are squishy and often just food outside of being pollinators. But I can't believe you didn't mention the coolest most niche defence they have. If they get trapped in a spider web they're able to shed their very loose scales, making them be able to just tumble off to survive another day. That has to give them at least some bonus points.

One interesting thing about the Bee players is how they managed to make an alliance alongsize Human players. Some bee players make special guilds that give Humans some of their resources in return for their protection. This might seem like a bad deal at first, but the more you look into it, the more your realize just how powerful this can be. I mean, when you have a hyper intelligent titan as your protector, that's a pretty good deal!

It's less of an alliance and more of a truce. Builds like cattle, dogs and such are definitely human allies, and those factions willingly chose to develop together. I'm a raptor main, on my hawk runs it's a 50/50 shot that I'm in a truce with some human. I eat the rodents their farming attracts, they leave me alone except watch, or that one family that actually recorded my aerie and mating questline because they're weird (maybe they got xp for observing our chicks, who knows). But bees? Not only are they staunchly independent, but territories and resources with humans aren't in competition, so sharing the same resources for different xp benefits them like it does my raptors. A human-bee playthrough isn't much different than a bee playthrough, you just lose your honey to a bear or something instead of the human who expects loot for not destroying you smh. The most they get from me is the odd feather ... and pellets when I go owl lol.

Not wanting to have my ear ripped into by scaring it, I provide it the old finger tip and it climbed from there to the edge of the patio furniture.

Mosquito main here. It may not be the strongest or fastest build out there, but it's GLORIOUS for griefing. If you play it right, you can completely deny the rested bonus to players millions of times your size. Just engage them in "combat" whenever they're about to doze off (go for the ear!). Works even better in a pack and you don't have to coordinate with your teammates, either! If you're in the mood for stealthy shenanigans, pierce their skin to steal resources and leave a debuff that literally causes them to hurt themselves, doing more damage to them than you ever could. Sit on the wall and watch the madness unfold (avoid white wallpaper).

The insect faction picked a sweet spot on the weight class slider. Anything very much larger, has to invest a lot more resources into finding some way of dealing with the dominant larger builds, particularly humans. Many insect builds are just small enough to almost entirely ignore the existence of the human faction, except where they can benefit from it (e.g., by taking shelter from the elements in human-generated structures). Ants are particularly good at reaping benefits from the human faction without having to face significant repercussions most of the time. Admittedly, insects often do have to worry about birds, but honestly, between birds and humans, I'd rather go up against birds. Ironically, some of the otherwise very strong insect builds, like wasps, face oppressive match-ups against human chemists, precisely because their sting is so effective that humans are actually afraid of it despite being *many* weight classes up the size ladder. And it turns out that frightening humans is generally bad not just for the individual player character but for your entire faction. And yes, ants are *very* clearly the top-tier insect build. I can't even imagine how anyone could argue otherwise.

It isn't ONLY the sting. Plenty of wasp and hornet species kill pollinators, and I have heard that yellow jackets in particular are considered an invasive species (I don't know where, but it's wherever that guy with the mousetrap videos lives--he takes the trouble to identify the species of the mice he catches alive so he knows whether to go release them or humanely kill them off camera and feed them to local wildlife, so I suspect he knows what he's talking about.)

You forgot to mention a hidden ability that most of the Insect faction has (excluding butterfly and ladybug mains). That is, the ability to proc psychic damage in human mains once the insect player spotted. This is especially effective with spider mains. The only drawback to this is, it will often enrage/frighten the human main so much they will stop everything they’re doing and attempt to one shot kill the insect player. If you’re able to get away safely after being spotted, I’m sure its very funny to see the once mighty human main cower in fear of you.

I fostered a wild green Mantis for about 6 months in my screened in porch. I kept it fed well and hand fed it water. One day it caught a wasp and ate the whole thing which ended up poisoning it. I thought my mantis was going to die but I mixed vitamin E into some water and fed it to it while it was sick from the wasp. It took about two weeks of nursing but she recovered. Eventually a male found its way into my port and they mated. She did not eat him but he did die after mating. I released her after they mated and now my back yard is filled with mantises. During summer it is impossible to walk a foot without seeing at least 10 mantises either jump and fly or flee to the under brush. I only cut my backyard 3 times a year and only when I know most insects and other animals will be dormant or visibly out of sight. This is in Annapolis MD

0:55 Correction: Insects were added to the game during the late Devonian expansion before the Carboniferous expansion, although they were not that viable build since they lack of flight ability. What Tierzoo says may be the first flying insect not the "insect" itself. 14:45 Actually pit fall trap of antlion is not a 100% guaranteed game ending skill because if the player has high mobilty escape option(like flight or jump) or if player has higher weight class, decent armor, or stronger power, they maybe escape the trap or counterattack which can be the game over to the antlion player 21:29 One more unique perks that most beetles(not all of them) have is their smell ability because most of the coleoptera builds have odor gland which produces unique smell to drop the resolve of enemy and escape the death combo just like hemiptera. 24:33 In fact this is the reason why termites always lose war against ants because even though termites can overwhelm ants in 1:1 combat, coordinated attack of the ants are more powerful than termites and this also helps ants to attack termite's weak point. And while termites are herbivore based omnivores ants are carnivore based omnivores which makes ants more aggressive than termites. That's why terminte army is mostly defeated by ant army when there's a war between them. And I want to ask to Tierzoo to make the tier list of certain insect factions.(eg. Beetles, grasshoppers, etc)

Also, dataminers have recently calculated that the peak in size during the Carboniferous meta started before the oxygen peak, with some giant dragonfly players also leaving logs after the Permian patch, and they speculate that giant arthropod builds were most viable at the time mainly because of the lack of other guilds to compete with them.

One thing to note about Lepidopterans (moths and butterflies) is their scales, which are a larger flattened modification of the small hairlike structures other arthropods have and often completely cover their bodies. The most important perks are: 1. The scales are designed to come off easily, which gives them some resistance to grabs, but provides much better defense against glue based traps, giving them the best matchup against spider webs of any flying insect. However, the much thicker glue droplets on glow-worm and bolas spider strands are able to soak threw the scales, but these traps cannot be formed into webs, and are much less effective unless paired with lures (which moths are unfortunately very susceptible to). 2. The scales on their wings allow them to have the only colored wings among insects, which is crucial for their camouflage and other various types of mimicry (like the eye spots and leaf patterns) as well as the most visible aposematic warnings of any insect. 3. The microscopic structure of the scales even allows them to utilize structural color, which is something worth googling if you don’t know what it is, this allows them to evolve any coloration rather than just being limited to what pigments can do. For example, butterflies can be bright blue, which is not a color of insect pigment that exists (the Blue Morpho Butterfly is a stunning example).

I admit. The fact it's D tear made my inner moth child a bit salty but I also understand. Heres some more morh defenses Many colorful moths such as Zygaenid and Uraniidae Moths are very colorful to show that they're very toxic and thus are seen as unappetizing to predators. Some Zygaenid moths have cyanide that if a bird eats it. They can also make their own cyanide. The cyanide It can kill the bird I think. These Zygaenid moths are said to be mimics of butterflies with Monarchs being one of them. These warning colors are known as Aposematism This is also seen in a lot of poisonous frogs. Some Tiger Moths and Underwing Moths have drab forewings but colorful hindwings. They hide these colorful hind wings until a predator comes by, showing the wings to startle them so the moth can escape. Frother moths when disturbed will release a liquid behind the eyes and maks a sizzling sound to detear attackers. Some Silkmoths have eyes spots to startle attacker's, some also have tails on the wings to misdirect the attacker as many moths dont mind getting bit on the wings. Its their head and body that's most important Hawkmoths some have these little hooks that when something grabs em. They feed rhag little jab which could cause a reaction for the Hawkmoth to flee. Metalmark moths raise their wings up and act very gittery to scare an attacker as the moth is mimicking the movement of jumping spiders. Many moths also camouflage to remain hidden like the Angel Moth having its head down but wings up to look ike dearj leaves. Infact, some other moths also can mimic death leaves! Window winged leaf moths have transparent areas on the wings to fool others into thinking they're leaves. A moth known as the Buddha Moth stands up sorta to appear intimidating. The Sky pointing moth when rests will raise its abdomen up to appear like a scorpion Butterflies also are like this. With Monarchs being poisonous due to milkweed or Queen Alexandria's Birdwing with the larva eating poisonous plants so that the adult doesn't become a flying buffet Glasswing butterflies are great with stealth to hide in plain sight. Phantom Butterflies have eyespotts to trick predators as well as having transparent wings to hide very well The mourning cloak can chase around a predator in swarms do it has a higher change to survive Some crafty small blue butterflies are taken by ants so they can be cared for and have the scent of a queen. Some of these caterpillars eat ant larvae too. Some carnivorous caterpillars are known to look like twigs and then swipe prey like flies out of the air with its pincer-like forelegs and then start gorging on its catch. Another interesting moth is the Water Veneer Moth. The only amphibious moth that when the adults are underwater they have a bubble around them to keep from getting wet. They can also swim and have hind legs adapted for swimming. Hawkmoths also are very good with getting nectar from hard to reach nectar flowers with even some orchid species depending on one species of Hawkmoth to help pollinate A good handful of butterflies and moths mimic each other to look poisonous even non poisonous lepidopterians do this. Anyway this is just a bunch of fun info on butterflies and moths 🦋
