    I wouldn't put Gamma Guts that low. It sounds bad on paper, but if you combine it with Scarier Face (a must usually) it basically gives you invulnerability to a lot of enemies like Snowbots, Rats, Crystal Spiders, Freaks, Maggots and generally let's you kill enemies by just walking over them.
    It makes the Labs when looping a walk in the park, and you'd be protected by Maggots too who might be hard to spot in the heat of battle sometimes.
    Also, Rabbit Paw can be bad if you don't use a lot of ammo in general, as it will drop so much ammo that it will heavily lower Medkit spawning rates. If you didn't know, Medkits drop when damage is taken, but also if you ammo is lower. The higher the ammo you have in total, the less frequent they will spawn, even if you have 1 hp left.
    Other that those two things, I guess it's a pretty solid tier list. I mean, there isn't a lot to argue anymore as the meta has been established for years at this point, so it's kind of obvious that things like Strong Spirit or Long Arms are good.

      That's totally fair, yeh! My problem with gamma guts is how inconsistent it feels sometimes, like I have to actively be walking into enemies for it to actually apply.
      As for rabbit paw, I think it applies to medkit drops as well, not just ammo. That said, I never thought about it when you've already got plenty of ammo and won't get the medkit drops you might need, though if you're high enough on ammo, you probably still have plenty of firepower to keep yourself safe for the time being.

      @@bonklaclonk8683 You just have to see Gamma Guts as a "dollar store" Boiling Veins.
      It should be used as an assurance rather than an offensive mean.
      But again, is not like you are wrong, Gamma Guts sure is more of a niche than an actual strategy, but it's still pretty useful.
      About the Medkits part, I might suffer more from the lack of them sometimes caused by Rabbit Paw because I main Chicken. No Medkit, no resurrection basically.

    Impact wrists doesn't scale with enemy hp, so if you intend to get into later loops it becomes a dead mutation. Also stress is one of the coolest mutations imo for late game. You have your base firing speed which works fine until it's not fast enough which causes you to take damage. Then once your health lowers stress increases your fire rate back to sustainable levels for the situation, allowing you to manage the crowd and heal back up. Stress basically increases your fire rate exactly when you need it to which essentially makes it an ammo management mutation without you needing to make any conscious effort.

  • @aplenope
    @aplenope ปีที่แล้ว +26

    I'd put Stress S tier, due to late game, post loop you're probably going to be at lower HP's, and getting to smack things super quick is great. Even at like 7/8 HP, Stress gives you I think a +5% buff to your swing speed. Lot of high-loop players consider it to be slightly below something like Rhino Skin.

    Fun fact about Bolt Marrow, it also makes the penetration stat stronger! Shoot a super splinter gun into a crowd while having it and you'll seee what I mean! That alone bumps it for at least B tier for me.

    I really loved hearing you explain your thoughts! I agree that scarier face is incredible (it really helps make cursed caves bearable pre-loop along with many bosses like lil' hunter and captain), but imo trigger fingers feels necessary on loops, so I would just barely rank it as the best mutation (but what do I know, I am no pro at this game, lol). I am also a big fan of stress, I would personally move it up but that's just because I find it really fun :) I pretty much agreed on everything else though! Overall, great list!

    • @bonklaclonk8683
      @bonklaclonk8683  ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Ahh I'm so glad you liked it! Trigger fingers is definitely incredibly good, and unless you have weapons that dont need it (Auto Crossbow, Energy Sword, etc), It can feel incredibly necessary to have. And stress is a super fun perk, no harm in taking it at all!

    Awsome video! your contents great and your commentary doesn't feel forced or aimless like a lot of other creators. There aren't many creators that talk about nuclear throne let alone ones that feel like they play the game on kinda the same level as the casual viewer. It feels weird when your watching a video made by this untouchable god and it makes it hard to understand and relate too, It's almost like they've forgotten what it was like when they were not amazing at the game but your content hits that perfect in between. You clearly know what your talking about and have the experience to talk about it without feeling out of touch with mastery of the game. I play nuclear throne a ton and it's one of my favorite games. I only just lopped for the very first time and died on the first level just before the end of 1-1. I beat throne two by cheesing it with eyes lol. I still don't really have a favorite character that I can sit down and play with consistently sadly... I never really tried Fish until recently and he kinda fun, Crystal fells kinda basic, Robot feels kinda clunky trying to eat all the weapons at the end of a level to get amo but im also just not great with him, Eyes is eh and i dont really like pulling enemies towards me despite the idea of bullets avoiding me being great, meltings not only hard but I suck at using the explosion thing, I used to think YV was my favorite but know Idk, I dont really wanna main steroids, Rebel just doesn't click for me, neither does chicken but ive almost never played them, horror is kinda basic but hes funnny lil guy. Idk I'd love to hear what you think or if you have any tips for looping.Ik this is stupidly long but I think your doing great and I'm subbing cant wait to see more of your stuff.

    Of course i´m not agree with you in all of your choices. In my opinion Hammerhead must be in B level or C at least, because it can save you in open areas and without refuge, i use it a lot. The Bolt Marrow is good too, C level at least, splinter pistol and super crosbown are very efective in advanced stages. The rest of your choices are good for me.
    Congrats.

    @OMalleyTheMaggot 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Gamma guts is not a mutation that you actively try to use with the exception of standing on top of cop portals (which is very useful; cops are dangerous). Gamma Guts is one of the best layers of protection in the game and im not just talking about rats and freaks. The thing is, even if the enemy deals contact damage, you still won't take any damage if gamma guts kills them quickly enough.
    For example, if you do a moderate amount of damage to a snowbot, that snowbot NOW CANNOT DEAL DAMAGE TO YOU. Same applies to crystal spiders. It will even save you from dog guardians. I mean, how many times have you died/taken damage to snowbots because the split second shot you landed on it didnt do enough damage to kill it? Now that isn't something that can happen. It also creates situations where you can deal chip damage to a large group of enemies that deal contact damage and then IGNORE those enemies since they can no longer threaten you. They effectively die when only taking a little bit of damage.
    That isnt even mentioning that Gamma guts is a huge middle finger to debatably the most dangerous enemy in the game; the jungle fly.
    Very much an A tier perk for me. Would be S but I'm never picking GG over trigger fingers or stress.
    Also of note; if you are a god gamer the DPS from Gamma guts is INSANE and I've seen god gamers melt bosses you'd never expect them to be able to melt like big dog and Mom. I am not such a god gamer but for those god gamers it may very well be S tier.

  • @RealEmar

    I personally treat last wish as a better/worse version of Patience essencially just a reroll if other 2 mutations are bad.
    Open mind is something you pick only when looking for a GunGun to get the golden nuke launcher achievement. I would put it in the F tier.
    Scarier face actually takes away 1/4 of enemy HP. I's crazy strong especially for bosses and other bulkier enemies.
    35:00 - That's because robot's eating just spawns ammo pichup directly on top of him and since ammo kits have a chance to be raplaced by hp kit then your hp is not full it reasults with hp kit spawning on you thus HP bonus.

    Disclaimer: I'm not one of those super players (my record is only L3). But I do have extensive experience in this game, having completed all achievements.
    My two most blatant disagreements:
    Euphoria keeps enemy projectiles on screen longer, it's more harmful than helpful. Definitely an F tier.
    Gamma Guts is very good. If you haven't damaged a crystal spider or snowbot quite enough to destroy it, and it touches you, it'll die instantly instead of damaging you. You can also ignore small enemies (maggots, rats, labs). Obliterating certain bosses and enemies without spending ammo is just a bonus. Synergizes with Scarier Face. This is A tier.
    We are in agreement about Scarier Face, though. I rank it as very very slightly above Strong Spirit, and few people do.

    I hard disagree with your F tier choices. Recycle Gland makes ammo consumption for bullet weapons so much more ammo efficient due to it's generous chances which can make expensive weapons like Hyper Rifle and even Minigun into your general use weapon, especially with another ammo mutation. Sharp Teeth is nice to have if enemies end up overwhelming you and is really fun with Rebel with her ability. Definitely better than the stuff in D tier in my opinion. Otherwise good video :)

      I appreciate it, thanks! My issue with recycle glands is that it never feels truly consistent enough to be a perfect ammo mutation, especially given that bullet weapons aren't great, and the pop weapons don't work with it at all. As for sharp teeth, it can be nice for clearing out a lot of enemies at once, but requiring that you take damage is always dangerous. That said, maybe I need to try it more lol

      - Bullet weapons is like the worse weapon type post loop: low atk/ammo with no way to amplify it, good weapon like mini/ultra mini slow you down and make you vulnable to threats. And recycle only make the consumsion lower without acually fixing it's weapon low dps
      - Sharp teeth deal at max 10 dame at the cost of 4 hp -> 1 press of post loop weapon. And the better you are, the more loop you can make, the less effectiveness this mutation become
      For D tier, although they still suck, at least they provide you a chance to have a safer run: Negate melee dame.. better weapon (this is super good if you are looking for Shove or Super FlasmarCanon or any end tier weapon of you choice in particular) Even double mutation crate is good at early.. easier time using shotgun type wp... etc

Like what shell weapons are you gonna be bringing to loops? I can only really think of wave gun and super flak cannon being good picks for loop gameplay and even then there are better options.

      While their high tier wp dps are the same (Galting Slugger vs Galting Gun). The thing with shotgun is that due to it slow fire rate in general it’s synchronized much better with fire rate increases mutations hence enchanting it’s dps. You also have a safer time with shotgun type with fire and hide tatics. And you also have better alley gun fire with shotgun + shotgun shoulder…
