Are Cows OP? - Summary

Summary

The video discusses the strengths and weaknesses of cattle in a fictional game. Cattle are a popular build and have a high HP stat, making them difficult to defeat in a team. They also have sharp horns that can inflict massive damage and a unique ability called Ruminant, which allows them to gain XP and level up by eating grass. However, they have low intelligence and mobility stats, making them vulnerable to intimidation and distractions.

The video also compares different types of bovine builds, including the yak, bison, water buffalo, and Cape buffalo, and ranks them in terms of their strengths and weaknesses. The Cape buffalo is considered one of the most powerful builds in the game, but is overshadowed by the wildebeest in the African Savannah meta.

Overall, the video provides an in-depth analysis of the cattle build and its strengths and weaknesses, as well as a comparison of different bovine builds in the game.
