The Frog Tier List 

Frogs are a head with just enough leg to throw the head at food

I heard frogs have a small chance of switching builds to a top tier human after kissing a human player I hope the devs will fix this bug cus it's kinda creepy and weird

Something about poison that goes overlooked a lot is this: Poison isn't something that the individual player takes advantage of, its that players whole class who does. Once enemy players get OH-KOed enough times by eating Dart Frogs, they learn their lesson, and keep away. So while you may have died and taken out only one player with you, all your fellow and future players will thank you. And your future runs will be much easier. It's like a rougelike in that respect.

Something tells me that TierZoo once loved the frog build and absolutely wanted to try it out, but his experience was so terrible that he ended up despising them as low-tier trash.

Mosquito mains hear boss music whenever they meet frog mains.

Tadpole: breaks all odds and becomes a frog as 99.5% of his siblings die Tier list boy: Is that even worth it? Tadpole:

I love how he describes mass extinction events as “balance patches”

You see, technically the poison frogs don't ever have to worry about attacks due to players with even a low intelligence level to know not to attack the poison frogs. So they can just chill and farm exp.

“A frog is basically a mouth with enough leg to launch the mouth at food” -tumblr

I heard that one time, a frog player glitched the game and switched to a max level human build after he kissed a human player, idk what exploit he used but the devs might've patched it up already

0:08 I love how the frog says "long live the king" but if you slow it down, he's the one falling! 😂

Just saved stat points and unlocked a unique skill, “Human Speech”, lets me speak English as a frog, pretty cool ngl

“That all you got?” “Yes :(“ ;(

“Pretty serious fall damage” as he shows a frog that is immune to fall damage due small size and a shock absorbance adaptation

You talked about the cane toad being so high-tier, but as you pointed out, not only can some predators resist its toxin, but high intelligence predators can avoid it. This is not the case with poison dart frogs. Their toxin guarantees safety, as no amount of poison resistance or HP is enough to prevent death. It doesn't resist counterplay, it straight-up stops it dead in its tracks.

You didn't mention the bullfrog's ability to delay the tadpole-frog transformation for years, allowing for a huge time period to grind for size in the beginner level allowing for the tadpole to reach a pound or more before venturing to the hostile land environment. This ability prevents mice, large bugs, and some birds from killing newly transformed frogs on entry to land, something which most frogs suffer from on top of an already large tadpole mortality.

Poison dart frog is basically the epitome of: "If I'm going down you're going down with me"

"if the poison dart frogs spec into fangs and use their poison for venom.." STOP GIVING THE DEVS IDEAS WE DONT NEED FANGED FROGS

"Second only to the grasshopper" Fleas: Are we a joke to you? >.>

When people start making significant genetic modifications to animals he's probably gonna make a mod showcase

Can you imagine you're having a lovely hike in the forest just outside town, there's no large predators so you feel pretty safe, and then out of nowhere boom, poison dart frogs have evolved fangs. It leaps out at you and just barely manages to pierce your sock. It injects 5ml of venom and you die in 30 seconds. The damn frog doesn't even get to eat you, because it immediately gets ganked by a crow

"frogs have no teeth" African bullfrog's bone razors: bruh.

It's true that the poison dart frog could've used its stat points more effectively. However, their reduced camouflage has a very obvious and unique side-effect: intimidate/warn-skill. The bright standing out colors actually tell predator players to stay away thus mitigating the need for being attacked first to benefit from the poison skill. Its colorful skin literally warns any predator in advance of its presence and "one-shot those who eat me" poison protection.

I wonder how some of the more…unconventional frog builds would rank, like the wolverine frog’s self damage to make claws out of its bones and the pebble toad rolling down mountains to avoid spider players or the greening’s frog (one of 2 frogs that are venomous and can inflict the debuff by head butting)

Long time poison dart frog player here. There's a few reasons we're so heavily invested in the aesthetics/poison combo, and we went through some pretty wonky theorycrafting to reach this point. We never specced in to poison production - instead, we went heavy on the poison resistance tree. The RES opened up a few important prey options, namely ant players and others from the arthropod guild, while a couple heavily customized storage traits let us steal their poison and concentrate it almost indefinitely. Alongside that, we went heavy on aesthetics - the only way for most builds to prey on us is to invest almost as heavily in poison resistance as we did, and that goes so far off template that not many players have even figured out how. The flashy cosmetics mean we get to engage in PvP during the day, 'cause we want to be seen clearly by anyone who targets our weight class, and that's a whole part of the day/night cycle we'd otherwise be locked out of due to poor matchups. So, yeah. We used resistance traits and alchemy to jury-rig some of the deadliest poison in the game. B tier is right, though. All that poison RES means we specced out of disease and environmental RES. It's a weird, fun, and effective build, but the sacrifices hurt, especially over the most recent patches.

I really can’t believe that Kermit was never part of the meta, despite his higher intelligence

I'm surprised that he did not mention the "hibernate inside a rock" exploit that some frogs and toads have used to avoid nerf patches.

Specking into max level poison is a very smart strat because it prevents any player from leveling up their poison resistance high enough to be able to ignore or tank the damage. They should be high a tier for that

Frogs may not be the best in outside, but they'll always be S tier on the memescape and inside

"Frog builds are based around leaping at a target and grappling" Ah, so they're a meme based build

Cane toads are easily the most broken and most used Amphibian build. Idk in other countries, but they're so invasive here that every person in where I live have probably seen more toads than frogs and cane toads comprise the most roadkills in contrast to other roadkills in other countries.

As a human intelligence build, I can confirm that frogs can be outsmarted even with their great stealth. All I need to do is walk in an area where I know there’s a lot of frogs and watch for movement as I go. When I see one move, I instantly lock on to it and track its every move. Frogs will also think there camouflaged even tho I can clearly see them, so once I spot one I inch closer and closer till I strike and catch one with my two hands👏. I’ve performed this move many times and it has around a 50% success rate on regular frogs but a much lower success rate on bigger frogs like a bull frog, but I’m sure those numbers would go up if I used tools such as a net. Of course being an overpowered human build I don’t need to consume my catches for extra xp, but it’s still fun to test my abilities sometimes.

1:13 Whenever TierZoo says an animal has a "fun gameplay style" or something along those lines I get alittle scared he wants to reject his humanity one day to become a tadpole

Others: Frogs are low-tier trash Poison Dart Frog: *Laughs in one-touch kill* African Bull Frog: *Laughs in trash-compactor gobble* Cane Toad: *LAUGHS IN GENERALIST PLAY STYLE*

I like how canonically, in the TierZoo Universe, Outside is such a big game that people make entire documentaries that you have to pay for about the lore.

Recently, I've been looking into the weird cheek pouch ability that hamsters and squirrels use to expand their inventory, and I find it really interesting. Could you make a video explaining how this ability works and how these builds use it? Thanks.

One frog at the beginning: climbing Other frog: I’m about to do what’s called a pro gamer move

4:10: two dragonflies mating, and a frog suddenly appears and noms them. It's like an insect slasher movie. 4:18: lol at the way the frog just reaches up and shoves it in with its hands.

Other factions: Amphibians are so weak! Amphibians: But you all evolved from me

I would argue that if you're so toxic that other players would never dare try to eat you, you don't need to be that stealthy or tough or strong or smart. Indeed, clearly sign-posting your deadliness is an advantage, since you reduce the risk of being attacked by mistake. When you have no predators, putting points in other stats intended to protect from predators is just a waste.

“... ever evolve fangs” SNAKE FROG

Flies exist Frog: *looks like a job for me*

Frogs also have a great team option with the “gay teenager” variety of human, who offer them protection in exchange for being cute

That eyewitness discovery music just unlocked a brief segment of the 90s I nearly forgot about. Thanks for that

I love that Tierzoo analyses the meta but still supports casual playstyles.

“There jump is second only to the grasshopper in terms of relative distance.” *Cries in flea*

0:08 I laughed way too hard at this. 🤣

Another point in the bullfrog's behaviour is that some of them (such as the African Bullfrog) have developed fang-like bone protrusions in their mouths to augment their bite force like teeth would. Also, the male African Bullfrog exhibits parental care for their tadpoles (which is incredibly important considering how weak tadpoles are) by both defending them from predators as well as digging a small pool for them to develop in first away from aquatic predators, only digging them a channel to the main body of water once they become too big for the main pool.

Poison dart frog: Call an ambulance, but not for me

*Me on my death bed while my family cries.* Me: "I hope I'm a frog in my next life. They offer...a...a...a unique playstyle." *Dies.* Edit: Guess you could say I....croaked.

My favorite amphibian build is the Andrias build. You get a robot army, a flaming sword, and a whole lot of daddy issues.

If im going to play a frog i usually play the hairy frog because of the defense and offense they get from the spikes even if you have to take damage to activate the spikes

Playing a low tier amphibian is a lot like playing Spore on the hardest difficulty, but only the first two stages.

One problem: most frogs don’t take fall damage because their terminal velocity is not high enough for the impact to inflict damage on them.

A fanged-tree frog would be terrifying. One small bite from a small leaping boy and you're absolutely done.

The fact that some of those frogs were shoveling their prey into their mouths, idk it make me laugh. So cute and a little morbid lol

Sadly no mention of some frogs Scream ability. It's a pretty substantial intimidation effect against lower intelligence builds. Though human players' humor perk often inverts this effect.

4:10 This shit is so funny. The way he shoves the two dragonflies in his mouth made me laugh so hard.

Well you didn't include the fact that Arizona's toads can drop a dog to 0 hp in a couple minutes and get humans the hallucinagen debuff.

This is just an amazing channel the work and time you put into each video. Every video is top tier

I would like to see how you would place the Carnivorous Plants in the tier list. Edit: Thanks never gotten this many likes before!

Wait, wasn’t there like a massive african frog that can eat mice and can literally break you fingers with a bite?

"It aint easy being green" - Frog

Bro this guy makes learning addicting this guy needs to be more popular lol.

Damn, not even frogs are as harmless as they seem in Australia..

6:40 I respect your knowledge Tierzoo but that sequence was not so much about build as it was just an example of the scorpion getting grossly outplayed

4:45 Frog - Breathes (lovely day this is) Bird - you’ve chosen death

"biggest jump relative to distance only rivaled by the grasshopper" Flea: "Am I a joke to you?"

Poison dart frogs use destiny bond every time they get attacked

4:32~ I love the sound effects you chose

I love how this guy treats animals like a video game with buffs and debuffs along with the dev stuff new sub 👍🏻

"if it ever evolve fangs...." African Bullfrog: Am I a joke to you, TierZoo?

I would argue that when Kermit the frog started using iced tea in his primary weapon slot it really solidified his spot as a top tier amphibian

Coming back to say only the beta testers of the poison dart frog builds suffered the expenses of defensive poison. I believe they shifted the meta so much actually that it is inherent in even beginner player knowledge to know to avoid them for every patch moving forward.

I NEEED MORE VIDEOS just discovered your channel and already bingewatched all of it

Normies: invasive species TierZoo: top tier

Me: is bored in quarantine RU-vid: you want to see a frog tier list

Frog were some of the hardest things to code. We accidentally made them shoot bullets at some point, patched as fast as we could, them we accidentally made them a burger front and we fixed that aswell.

2:09 yeah African bullfrogs have teeth

*Top Tier Frog:* 1. That Villain from Kung Fu Hustle

Ah yes education in the best form: gaming language and without any big words.

My dude, you have no idea how much i LOVE your videos! :D

That intro got me cracking in the middle of the night.

You forgot to mention a bug that causes some frogs to turn into humans when a human uses the kiss emote on it

I can't wait for the expansion pack where the frogs become humanoid, speak English, use slingshots and fear toads

Surprised you didn't use the Giant African Bullfrog (Pixie Frog), it's basically the armoured tank of the Frog world. It is related to other African Bullfrogs, but due to it being very unique, it probably deserved a call out. Especially with its large fangs, which it can use to puncture and injure predators. It also protects it's tadpoles meaning more of them will make it. Its size means that predators that commonly attack frogs don't really attack the Pixie frog.

I would also add the Patagonia frog to this tier list. though it is rare, and only comes in expansion packs, the special abilities of this frog are quite an advantage. This frog has the special ability of shape shifting, as it can switch between an aquatic and land model. The aquatic model has loose slippery skin that increases stamina and speed in water, and the land model has dry skin with increased defense. It has the perks of both a toads durability, and a frogs speed, though it is quite vulnerable to internal attacks like disease.

"That all you got?" "yes :(" "noob" *leaves sullenly* A well-recorded, appropriate conversation.

Is it true that specking into the Buddhism religion gives faster loading times in the create new character menu?

"They offer a fun and unique playstyle" 😂 Besides my love for animals and nature fun facts, the gameplay descriptions make me chuckle at times. I had to sub

Their grab is useless in or above their weight class Bullfrogs: ima ignore that

Tier Zoo can you make the Tier list or Build analysis about Microorganisms like Virus, Bacteria, etc. That's gonna be awesome.

'The Cane Toad' Australia: [shivers]

You guys knew an exploit where you could tip a sharp wooden toothpick, with the enemys poison because you can give the needle a poison status effect. Then shoot it through a tube causing it to poison proc anyone hit by it? Best exploit imo

Definitely my favorite build of all. That being said you did overlook the frog builds that have invested in the fang stat such as the African bullfrog and Pac-Man frogs which are known to take down larger builds than most other frogs and even holding their own defensively against human and bovine builds by aggressively using their fangs for defense.

"Your human build is low tier trash" is a valid insult, change my mind.

I've evolved perfectly to know when exactly you're transitioning into the advertisement at the end of your videos. Its gorgeous

idk why I find mass extinction events being called balance patches so funny

9:48 thats brutal

Before Tier zoo: "amphibians are trash" After Tier zoo: "amphibians are absolutely garbage, but their roleplay is Nice, I guess..."
