The Shark Tier List - Summary

Summary

The speaker discusses the game's shark class, highlighting the importance of the move "bite" in its development and the various strategies employed by different shark builds.

The shark class is noted for its high mobility, damage, and ability to sense other players due to special abilities like "blood sense" and "electro reception". However, it lacks swim bladder and gill flaps.

The speaker then goes over individual shark builds, from bottom tier to top tier. The bottom tier includes the nurse shark and sawshark, who have chosen unconventional strategies. The nurse shark uses a sedentary playstyle and the sawshark uses its teeth as weapons, but with limited effectiveness.

The speaker then moves on to the b-tier and tier list, discussing shark builds like the cookie cutter shark, thresher shark, tiger shark, mako shark, bull shark, great white shark, and hammerhead. Each build has unique abilities and strategies, some of which are aesthetically unappealing but highly effective.

The hammerhead, for example, has the best optimized sensory abilities, with full panoramic vision and binocular eyesight, and a snout shape that allows it to turn on a dime.

The speaker concludes that the shark class has a lot of useful abilities and strengths, but also a few bad mashups like dolphins, orcas, and top tier fish like swordfish and marlin.
