The video provides a detailed analysis of the snake faction in a game, focusing on their tier list, history, and unique abilities. The snake faction, which includes snakes, is one of the most feared classes due to its powerful builds and lethal abilities. The snake faction was introduced during the mesozoic expansion of the game and was initially a niche offshoot of the lizard faction, adapted for burrowing gameplay. This adaptation led to the development of unique strategies and abilities, such as the ability to slither, which is a significant advantage in the game.
The video goes on to explain the different types of snakes, their strengths, and weaknesses. It also discusses the various strategies and techniques used by these snakes, including their unique abilities, such as their venom effects, which greatly increase their potential damage.
The video then delves into the tier list of the snake faction, starting with the lower tiers, which include the colubrids, the largest group of snakes in the game. It then moves on to the higher tiers, discussing the strategies and abilities of the snakes in these tiers, such as the constrictor builds, which rely on grappling attacks for victory.
The video concludes by discussing the top-tier snakes, including the cobra, sea snake, and black mamba builds, which are considered the most competitive due to their high damage and speed. The video also provides a link to a documentary on snakes for those interested in learning more about the snake faction.
1. Snakes are one of the most feared classes in the game, with a number of powerful builds and a vast array of uniquely lethal abilities.
2. Some of these strategies have clearly been more successful than others, so we’ll be going over the snake tier list to see which builds rank highest.
3. Before we get into looking at specific snake builds, let’s do an overview of the basic attributes and special abilities the snake faction has access to, as well as a quick rundown of the history of the snake faction.
4. Snakes are one of the newer factions in the game, joining the game’s roster during the later part of the mesozoic expansion.
5. They began as a niche offshoot of the lizard faction that was specifically adapted to burrowing gameplay, and in order to best minmax for the most efficient burrowing, this playerbase eventually opted to completely drop the “legs” attribute.
6. This ended up being a far more successful gambit than anyone could have anticipated, as it not only granted these lizards better burrowing ability, but also opened up a whole bunch of other strategies to them.
7. While the snake build first hit the scene during a metagame dominated by dinosaurs, they didn’t become a huge threat in the meta until after the main dinosaur powerhouses were banned in the K-T balance patch.
8. During this chaotic post-banwave meta, snake players experimented with some crazy builds, including the giant Titanoboa build.
9. Fast forward to today’s meta and snakes are one of the most successful predator factions in the game, owing this success to a handful of powerful unique abilities.
10. The most obvious of these is slithering, the snake’s unique mobility option that it gained in exchange for losing its legs.
11. A snake’s basic strike is a little on the weak side for such a dangerous predator. Their bites can’t deal that much damage on their own and are easily blocked by armor.
12. It’s for this reason that snakes tend to spec into various venom effects to infuse their bites with. Snake venom can have a variety of status effects, which greatly increases the potential damage a snake can deal with its bite.
13. Without this, many snakes would have no means of defense and would be completely helpless when caught out in the open.
14. Snakes are one of the most feared classes in the game. But which snakes should be feared the most? Which snakes are truly top tier? For that, let’s get into the tier list.
15. The lower tiers on this list contain members of the snake faction known as the colubrids. This is the largest group of snakes and it contains almost every snake build in the game except for the ones you’re actually afraid of.
16. Starting at the very bottom of this group we have the garter snake, one of the weakest snake builds of all time.
17. Next in F-tier we have the racer snake. This is a snake build that put an above average number of evolution points into mobility, making it one of the fastest snake builds in the game.
18. Next on the tier list we have the vine snake. Now, there are many highly effective arboreal snake builds, and all things considered the vine snake isn’t terrible.
19. At the bottom
