The video discusses the popularity and effectiveness of different cat builds in a game called "Dinosaur Builds". The speaker begins by explaining that while cats are generally effective in the game, they are not uniformly effective. There are more than 40 different cat builds, and the speaker plans to focus on the most popular ones.
The speaker starts with the Cheetah, which has the highest movement speed of any land build, making it effective in scoring kills on builds with high mobility. However, its high mobility also makes it vulnerable to other, faster builds that can steal kills. The Cheetah's inability to defend itself also makes it difficult for new players to progress.
Next, the speaker discusses the Lynx, which has low to medium stats across the board, with the exception of stealth. The Lynx's strength lies in its ability to move silently through snow, making it effective at taking out small prey. However, it is not as effective as the Cheetah or the Jaguar.
The speaker then moves on to the Cougar, which is a bit lower than the Lynx in terms of stats but has higher strength, especially strengths. The Cougar can climb well and is comfortable duking it out on the ground. However, it lacks the ability to overpower mid weights like deer and elk without taking damage.
The speaker then introduces the concept of two major styles of play: the feline style, which generally has higher mobility but lower strength, and the Panther style, which is stronger, bulkier, and has access to the Panther signature move roar.
The speaker discusses the Leopard, which is stronger than the Cheetah but not a match for gank squads like lions and hyenas. Unlike the Cheetah, Leopards can avoid having their kills stolen and can climb better than their competitors. This allows them to gain all the XP they deserve, earning them a high B tier.
The speaker then introduces the Tiger, which has very high stats and decent stealth. Tigers rely more on their sheer power for fights and have a top-tier ability: an incredibly powerful jump that makes them deceptively mobile. However, they are not the top-tier build in one-on-one fights due to their lack of viability in coordinated attacks.
Finally, the speaker discusses the Jaguar, which is the absolute best build in the game when it comes to one-shotting players with a critical hit. The Jaguar has the most damaging bite of any of the cats, enough to pierce armor, and incredible accuracy. The Jaguar also has incredible eyes that negate all stealth bonuses, and can even see a target obscured by camouflage or hiding in murky water. The Jaguar is also the most versatile capital available, being great sprinters and climbers, and also effective in the water. For these reasons, the Jaguar is considered the top-tier build in the game.
