Dst players refusing to use a healthy combination of gems religiously sticking with 1 type while klei is desperately trying to encourage us to just mix and match different strats
Honestly this creates purple gems being an option for a few limited character, which is cool. Willow with Bernie starts and Wormwood's spore clouds still lock down the minions without need of panflute 😊
One issue I have with this video is that the text appears and disappears so fast I have to pause to read it. I don't think I'm a slow reader but I can barely read 5-6 words from the 10-14 word texts you put on screen for 2 seconds
I think the ice arena killing anything when it breaks was due to this bug where bunnymen would drown then reappear as soon as he spawned the next arena.
I just don't understand why it's so unevident for Klei to make a new drop items from crab king depending on the used gems: more difficult the gem assembly = cooler item, easy assembly = strident trident. This would immediately motivate players to use other gem builds
@@asciiftw3632 OK but you can just flute. don't use purples, and now that whole section of the fight I'd a non issue as long as you have a flute. not really interesting
@@Hexagrontley the point is that now you can use flute, but you'll have to deal with the cons of other pearl combinations, not just ignore them. Intrinsic fute resistance mobs wouldn't make sense, it would just limit the strats.
I would’ve really wanted to see more out of this though. Imagine the biome we could’ve gotten. What i mean is, we don’t see what crab king is actually the king of. We kinda see more of it now, but not as much. As it stands now, he’s like ancient guardian if he just spawned somewhere in the caves and all parts of the ruins didn’t exist aside from the atrium.
Thing is... He did kinda just spawn somewhere with no relation to anything. He was a normal, fairly harmless crab before, but then he found the Celestial Tribute that fell from the moon, and it infected him with Enlightened madness, which drove him to craft a giant stone shell to protect it, which is what the castle on his back is. The "King" in his name is just a nickname due to his crown/castle decoration. He's actually Pearl the Crab Hermit's friend/husband, and she has been setting out messages in a bottle to find him, but he's out here doing his best gollum impression, protecting his 𝓟𝓻𝓮𝓬𝓲𝓸𝓾𝓼𝓼𝓼 Lunar Tribute.
@@WitnessesSay We know for sure that she's Pearl's friend whom she's setting out bottles for, which is why we need to give him the Pearl, and why it's so significent to Pearl to get the cracked pearl back. We also know for sure that he disappeared shortly after the Lunar Archipelago fell from the moon. But I admot, the rest is conjecture, based on the fact that hehas the Celestial Tribute, and the Lunar Archipelago, and associated artefacts, cause Enlightenment, meaning it would make sense for him to have gone mad trying to keep it for himself. And him keeping it in the castle/crown also makes sense for why he would construct the stone castle on his back, since in his death animation shows that he's actually just a small-ish crab, similar to his minions.
Ameslarii, I would LOVE if you checked out the buffed Skeeter Bomb, since mosquitoes don’t aggro you or your Merms anymore do they actually become useful? I want to believe that absolutely bombarding a boss with mosquitoes from a range alongside your warriors would be kinda good, right?
In ruins they are very useful at the time I tested them, you can clean the ruins just by using them lmao, but I didn't see them in bosses, I'll take a look
Yeah, I figured as much that they'll just get sick of people using only most accessable gem for the fight so we'd end up forced to go for one of ruin gems eventually. Good thing orange gem is least useful early game anyway so they can be used for lazy deserters and canes down the road yet now killing CK is more about getting enough of these from ruins and dfly because the rest of the gems are just a sheer pita
Yeah, getting orange gems is a bit boring compared to how easy it was to get purple gems, I believe the best thing would be a little mix between the gems, basically using as many oranges as possible and the others as a cover.
Can you do a video on the different ways to beat Klaus. I used to use the lunar plants to block and attack him but with the new update that doesn't work anymore.
kinda dont like that he just throws the crabs out all at once with them just not aggroing at all, wish it was like df spawning larvae, 1 at a time, at slower speeds (dont like when she spawns multiple on 1 pond thats a rlly bad (lack of preventative) mechanic cuz just makes fighting her without walls dumb)
@@ameslarii yea, and also can be interesting to juggle hitting ck to stop healing (rn its pretty easy to cancel and not detrimental to let some thru) and hit+dodge the crab minions. Could be even better if he mixes between spawning crabs and heals during the ice island phase
I used combination of .. 4 blue 1 purp 1 orange 1 red 1 green Really easy crab kill ! Also tried your metod but dosnt work for me .. crab outheal my dmg .. because i dont know how to do this swap helm attack speed
It's a good combination, this week I'll bring a video about the gems. Unfortunately, the one in the video doesn't work anymore, even canceling the animation it's no longer possible to cancel the cure with 8 gems, only with 4
@@tenientemiller5123 they updated crabking again and now with 8 orange gems it is impossible to cancel its healing, you can still cancel it with 4 orange gems, but you need to cancel the animation, it is better to think of other gems such as 4 orange and 4 purple, 8 red, yellow or green, or a mixture of all
@@ameslarii No im socketing blue gems and a pearl. Crab guards dont fall asleep with pan flute and I cant attack crab king, my attacks prioritize crab guards, so I have to kill them all before attacking king but he fully heals
@@yungalpha9899 lol this is so weird, are they far away from you or something? I don't know anything about the blue gem giving them sleep resistance, just that Crab Knight, which is the biggest, usually needs two uses to sleep. Actually the aggro in this fight is boring, it seems like it focuses on everything except the crab king, I recommend always hitting away from the minions and also when breaking the ice barrier use the mouse to make the character hit the crab king
If you know how to cancel animation you can still use 4 oranges and the rest of your choice, as you can also use 8 yellow, 8 red with 3 wooden boats, 8 green, 1 gem of each, 8 purple gems if you use the dragonfly armor or other character like Maxwell, Willow, Wigfrid. There are many varieties, even though it is boring, sometimes no gem makes the fight impossible.
@@ameslarii по вашему методу с товарищем пробовали пару дней назад, не зная про фикс). Да, хилится он конечно сильно, но с 6 или 7 отката мы его ванда-максвелл заДПСили на первой льдине. Видимо по нормальному все-таки придется миксовать разные гемы, в одном из недавних англоязычных видео наблюдал 1 желтый/1 синий/ 1 красный / 1 оранжевый / 1 фиолетовый / жемчужина и 3 зеленых.
Now they got to make the orange gems make the healing take multiple hits. 😢 I mean tbh orange gems take a lot of time to obtain, it might be ok. The gem balance is still pretty weird.
Yes, I also find them strange, the orange one is still the one that even if you use them all you can still have an easier fight compared to the others, because when you add a lot of blue, green, red or yellow gems the fight becomes much more difficult, because either you takes a lot of damage, or your boat destroys quickly, or you have little time to deal damage, they are certainly looking for a balance between the gems, forcing us to make a mix
you say cancel animation? Take two helmets, use one and put the other in a space in the inventory, then start attacking and keep changing the helmet that is located in the inventory, after that just get the right "time"
Don't blame it on a person like me or another player like it matter at this point, I don't run programing Klei's department babe and if Klei did it it's cuz that felt necessary for them ;)
but while I don't do that you can use full red, yellow or green, as well as full purple using the df armor, as well as use 4 oranges if you know how to cancel animation
@@ameslarii Yes, I know how to cancel animation, but with more than 3 orange gems it's almost impossible to cancel the healing xd (I tried using other things like weather pain but it doesn't help much) The strategy that worked best for me was with green gems and a bit of purple gems, surrounding the claws
@@asciiftw3632 If you manage to kill the dragonfly twice, and make the ruins, you'll be fine, I just don't think it's very viable because it slows down crabking a lot. (sorry for the possibly poor English, I don't speak English very well, so I'm using the translator)
Se tiver sorte de conseguir no loot do Ag e em alguns baus do labirito já consegue razoavelmente facil, mas real meio chatinho pegar 8 gems laranja, mas da pra fzr uma mistura colocar umas 3 laranjas, 2 verdes, 3 azuis fica bom, com o metodo da pan flute da para misturar tudo menos a roxa.
