@Steakable you dont need autoclicker for slingshot btw its really easy, just spam E, space bar and click, thats what i do but yeah this vid still makes sense
the problem with Slingshot is that Power Shot is the one card that you need to play it (like Cannonball for ball and Sword toss for sword), and out of all these 3 cards, power shot's the worst. "It's the slingshot version of Power Stab" -doesn't deal extra damage -doesn't pierce defense like sword, only lets you not have your attacks deflected. -costs more BP and same SP
Why are you saying sword toss??? You should be talking about power stab. sword without power stab sucks just like slingshot but the normal attack of slingshot does more damage than the normal attack of sword which makes slingshot better
Yea but id say against enemies that doesnt have any defense then the extra dps from slingshots is worth the extra bp cost and the lacks defense piercing (Plus the QTE of slingshots is easier to use than sword, especially if you're running ante up,if ya using mobile devices that is)
From what I’ve seen, with sword, the enemy defense actually halves, rounds down and then subtracts from the total damage of your sword attack. This means enemies with 1 Defense mean nothing to the sword. But for 2 defense enemies, 1 damage is subtracted from your sword attack.
Slingshot - Raw DPT Sword - Defense DPT In future demos, more enemies will have defense Also they’re literally the same except one costs SP but it’s not much of a problem
Slingshot is more for multi-player (either youre a support or your teammate has launcher.) Slingshot is literally heaven in multi-player if youre not support (which usually lowers your attack with the common heal cards) You just need friends or a party for it to work with defense enemies. I'm pretty sure dynamite works too, but I'm not sure. Yes, the Slingshot lacks in 2+ defense enemies even with a teammate. Unfortunately. So you can't beat up griefer phase 2 like you can with hatred and cruel king. I've beaten hatred in hard mode (the guru ofc, I'm not risking dying so easily) with a party, it was a Slingshot run (2 people had launcher and one of the users with launcher had Slingshot aswell. Our support didn't have Slingshot or launcher tho, since they were support and didn't need it since they already had -3 attack.) Powershot is practically useless then (except for griefer stage 2.) And I didn't even mention you can do this in solo lol. But Unfortunately you cant use knight Also, my team which beat hard mode hatred almost beat hard mode + double pain but our last teammate couldn't survive long The build you need is just ante up and knight. Everything else is your choice. If youre a PC player and struggle with Slingshot ante up (I've seen PC players complaining about it) then replace ante up with idk, a summon card? Ofc it's ur choice. And now let's talk about sword except it's also one of my favorites. It's amazing and I usually main it. I use it to beat hatred in real time more, because it's just less risky. Hatred is medium difficulty to beat if you have knight and ante up actually. And the other emotions are easy. I usually use sword because I suck crap with launcher ante up, it's not until my teammate has launcher that I actually use Slingshot. Sword is definitely the most reliable as it pierces defense, But it can't hit enemies in the back. There's not many strats I have for it, because it's just really easy to use. I'd recommend having a support teammate, though. Build: Ante up and Knight, ante up again can be removed since it's pretty annoying sometimes and i can see why someone would remove it. It's the 2nd easiest for me though, but Slingshot wins on that (Yes, I'm a mobile player lmfao)
personally i feel different about your opinions in the video, and i shall list the following reasons as to why: power stab deals +1 extra damage than the power shot. which may not seem alot, but no matter the ammount, extra damage can always be nice you literally used ante up and missed the timing on the action command, thats your fault lmao you dont have to have "god tier aim" to hit the timing, you just have to pay attention using slingshot over sword because of the fact you can just turn off your brain and spam left click or spacebar (or both) in my opinion is just scummy, it takes out the fun and the challenge of hitting the timing just right and only leaves you with spamming to do damage as another commentor said, power shot doesnt pierce defense like the sword does, and plus it costs one extra bp (which yeah its only one extra bp and thats like nothing but i feel like it should cost only 1 bp like power stab does, seriously whats up with the extra bp for power shot??) if youre so worried about sword toss costing sp, just use ball or sp saver lmao its really not that big of a deal hitting enemies in the front is a feature meant to be used by the sword, use sword toss or ball or literally anything else to attack enemies in the back the normal slingshot attack is literally useless if youre dealing with an enemy that has one defense, as any damage buffs (like first strike or charge) will only add extra shots to the attack (which does not add extra damage to the pellets themselves, see the problem?), the sword however does not have that problem so while the slingshot may seem cool and all, the sword is overall the better choice

Slingshot:like sword double damage can't hit the enemy if they have 1 def Sword:like slingshot but cost sp(there is also no sp but it only cost 3 damage) can damage even though the enemy have more than 1 def
i think they are equal in terms of power, talking about sp cost slingshot improves a lot more than sword but it cant penetrate through defense, unless you use powershot put you deal 1 less damage compared to sword also if you dont know how to use sword because you are not good with it you cant say its bad, but i can say that it could be challenging but after 30 mins of using it you can do it consistely.

Slingshot or sword? BOTH It depends on the scenario, if u going to fight hatred, ur obviously not picking slingshot, as hatred has 1 defense, and using launcher is just pretty much a waste of a turn, while spamming power stab (even regular with no upgrades) will already cause you to only waste a single turn for ice dagger if you have 20-25 max sp(less and you problably don't know what ur doing unless ur using a specific build), and won't even waste if you have 30 or more (this is without the use of happy sp) But if ur planning on fighting 3 fears? slingshot all the way, cause none of that fight has ANY defense, and it's generally better. Hence, this entire video is for nothing, also a lot of these points are either false, or caused by skill issue
Error 1 : the fault of the action command being small is ante up Error 2 : you could just NOT use ante up, you dont seem very good with it(atleast not with the sword), Cruel king helps you with trainament for a reason ya know Error 3 : Powershot cant ignore defense meanwhile sword can pierce trough, in future chapters enemies will definetly have more defense, in my opinion, slingshot will only be better then sword if it gets an upgraded version Error 4 : You dont even need an auto clicker with ante up and sligshot, it so easy (atleast for me) Error 5 : There's a item that increases action commands, you should get some of thoses btw
But the one thing is you have to deal 6 DMG instead of 7 just cuz your enemy has 1 defense. Like bubonic plant: 2 defense and your slingshot does 5 instead of 7, and a sword does 6.
Honestly, its better to just have a ball and a sword. Sword for your defensive/tanky enemies, and the ball/rocket for your lower enemies or to increase future damage. Also, Slingshot has many issues. Especially when counting the accursed stat called.. Defense. You dont have the option to still deal damage if you are out of SP. You just have to wait for the ice dagger or use an item.
i have to actually agree here, while the sword gets really good damage it lacks a lot of versatility that other weapons have. Also some weapons have not fully reached their true potential, this is still demo 3
The main problem with slingshot is that the enemies that have defense it will be deflected, ik power shot can damage the enemies but its just a waste of SP
Dude your comparing a starter weapon to a mid-late game weapon.... And the sword will get more op overtime heck im predicting that the steel sword(the sword upgrade in the later chapters)would deal 5 or 6 damage on its own without any cards
I think it's just bad to use a single weapon i personally use the combination of launcher and slingshot launcher lowers 1 defance for free allowing slingshot to damage 1 dafance enemys there are also berely any enemy that has more than 1 defense at the writing this comment in fact only 1 enemy in the entirety of demo 2 has more than 1 defense being the chapter boss bubonic plant. Im not forcing y'all to use this build but i think the best build is launcher+slingshot (also with sp saver, ante up and cruel king summon those are just generally good cards)
Also pls stop attacking this guy he makes some bad reviews yes but I just hate toxic community I'm not just a block tales player I play all sorts of roblox games and it's sad to see one of my favorite Roblox games ruined by a toxic community like everytime piggy updates there is always some sort drama for something stupid I don't want block tales to suffer the same fate
i do 10 damage with struking with ground pound it gives u extra damage by 2 get 3 charges and charge your self then do power stab and u have to do power stab with sword and do "NICE" and u will do 10 dmg with the sword so the sword is Good but if u dont do "NICE" it will deal 9 dmg or if theres enemys with shield i think it will do uhh 6 or 7 idk but the sword is good
If you saying that sword is worse than slingshot Then im not saying anything else But at least, just treating slingshot as side upgrade of sword 😢 Cuz both of them has some strengh and weakness
first of all you need to buy slightshot and sword is free second of all powershot is 3 sp not 2 sp Third of all Its called sword for a reason Its a sword Your supposed to target the first person Infront of you Its meele Weapon not a ranged weapon
Dude how am i supposed to support you if you have a skill issue First and most obvious : you have a skill issue Second: even a tiny bit can make a difference (if multiple) and if you don't understand, lets say an enemy has 35 hp right? And when you attack you deal 6 with one attack and with the knight card or the iron sword (not sure which one of them makes the difference) you deal 7 with one attack, it may not seem lke much but 6 five times is 30 while 7 five times is 35 so technically even a little matters Oh and you said "JuSt UsE aN aUtO cLiCkEr" which means you have a skill issue so the entire video was made because you have a skill issue. Oh and don't you dare say something toxic or saying something like "Bro is so mad"
Only your second point is good (about the damage difference stacking). It could also be argued that "skill issue" is also more reason that the sword is bad given it is an early game weapon. Otherwise saying skill issue doesn't mean anything because I am pretty sure sword wasn't meant to be a complicated weapon. Personally, I think Sword vs Sling comes down to preference. Especially since they both have their points. Personally I like slingshot as the high damage compensates for the support builds I tend to play. (I either summon, venom, or ball slot for the defensive enemies. As I have come to realize powershot sucks quite a bit for defense in low damage as it doesn't have the min of 4 pellets.) Knight if I understand it correctly boosts the _general_ damage in sacrifice of the ball slot, which means that slingshot *also* gets boosted, as it is a sword slot card. I *hate* to admit it, but despite you saying that it shouldn't be said that you sound angry, the way you rant about "skill issue" is just sounds like a 9 year old. You just repeat that point over and over without much elaboration. Though I get it, ante up is supposed to be for those who are skilled and mastered at their weapons of choice. OP probs just likes the simplicity of slingshot. Which, then again, is also a fair argument as simplicity does play a lot into weapon viability. An easy strat will often be more preferred to a more difficult one, which makes balancing pretty hard. I will admit, Autoclickers do sound like cheating (though there are many more worse types of macros), though you really mustn't mention it in such a mocking tone-
@@hammielover225I agree with you a lot, but in my opinion using sword is a lot more fun to play instead of using sling, but I respect that you respect both worlds (hey, maybe in future I myself will prefer slingshot if it gets a buff???), what I think is that both weapons should get a buff in different ways, like fire sling or venom sling or smth like that, IK we are getting an upgraded sword in the future, but it’s sad to see some weapons being forgotten
@@leonaskey4496 personally given how ball already has status type actions (and how the "free status" cards remove the ball slot) I don't think sling is going to get statuses. Though there is a lot of ways you could use sling, such as having a rapid fire that has any overkill be sent to the next. Or the actual modification of the individual pellet damage. (they will obv be really expensive) I am personally more worried for launcher as in my opinion it is pretty much for the most part is just a worse venomshank (and we are getting firebrand next too so that is also bad as it could be guessed that it will operate similarly) I think launcher has a lot going for it with gun type weapons (paintball included ;D idk it might be a method of "marking out" buffs of an enemy or smth idk.) (Trowel might be a tool type card used for platforming over obstacles) (Time bomb is like... already an item so yeah)
@@happygammon false, the slingshot does 5 dmg by itself but if you add knight and ante up it will be 7 dmg. 55% of the time u are going to mess up a sword ante up attack but with slingshot you will always succeed it’s incredibly easy
power stab can cost 1BP but power shot costs around 2 or 3BP i mean slingshot is kinda easy for beginners but it doesn't like pierce defense i mean what if your facing against an gaur and you only have a slingshot and a ball?
I mean this be a slingshot review not a sword review since I dont really count the base kit as 'cards' since they dont show up in the menu by the same name, but yeah I agree
First of all, if you hate spending SP, just equip Ante Up and Knight. Second of all, train your Ante Up skills for goodness sake. Third of all, the Slingshot may be useful for non-defense enemies, but for enemies with defense you need to waste SP. The problem? Well you probably hate spending SP (like I mentioned in Point 1), well the Slingshot will start depleting your SP alot when Defense becomes more common. This will probably put the Slingshot into irrelavancy in the later half of the game. Fourth of all, Sword Toss only cost 1 SP, and since you find 2 SP low for the Slingshot to go through defense, then why do you complain about Sword Toss Costing 1 SP? Flying Enemies are just Defenses, but for Swords. Bassicly, Slingshot's worst Nightmare is Defense and Sword's is Flying, and the solution for the sword costs 1 SP, and the solition for the Slingshot costs 2 SP. Finally, Sword Toss exist to bypass the barrier of the First Enemy, and you can easily recover it by using Defense, Pass, Happy SP, Ice Dagger, etc. Your food at the end does not defend your case at all, the Sword is NOT GUILTY! The Sword may not be Perfect, but it is certainly better than this scrambled mess of a video.
Excuse me but you just have something called:"skill issue" Timing with the sword is borderline the lowest skill requiring things in this game. Ofcourse the sling shot is easier to use, by a bit. It is like saying drinking with a straw is easier than sipping. Therefore, sipping sucks Sword trade the abilities to target enemies for free defense piercing and combine that with power stab(which costs the same amount of sp and less bp btw) just increases the damage even further so the power shit means shit compare to this in terms of fighting any thing with defense. No flying? No problem, sword toss. So sword is able to pierce defense, do higher damage to defense enemies and attack flying for the bp costs of a single power shot and costs 1 sp more than powershot when combined, not individually
you're using ante up, causing attacks that fail the action command to deal no damage. the sword penetrates through half defense. it can get good status effect cards. sword is not bad, but i see slingshot getting better! overall, sword is worse than slingshot, but it's going to improve over time! anyways do you think demo 4 is releasing today? could be earlier this week or, if lucky, can release today later!
@@antidroidRGD ''People'' ı doubt they do block takes ATLEAST takes 2 months for a new demo release and their current priority is prologue update theres literally no logical reason for anyone to think demo 4 is coming this month or even before 2025 its simply impossible
Alr so this is my opinion on the matter Slingshot IS good in different situations (arguably better) but I prefer sword as its fun to play instead of just spamming space bar, your also using ante up with sword which u can remove and sling can also deal 0 damage without ante up, there is a reason WHY the make it cost 1 SP for y to do sword throw and that it is because you of course, have knight equipped, it’s just better than using rocket boots or dynamite , I’m not going to use 5 so to deal 4 damage when I can use 1 for arguably more damage. Sword also keeps you on edge, of GOOD gameplay (although I’m not saying slingshot is bad gameplay I just don’t like using slingshot cause it’s boring), it requires skill to use and not just a auto clicker, like, why would you install smth to make ur game easier??? Like if ur speed running then ok, but just normal gameplay is going to be extremely boring, if you are a support class then sure, use sling or launcher, but offensive, sword OR (most likely not) superball, slingshot is good yes, but it requires 0 skill to master, id rather spend HOURS trying to master sword than sling (and sword only takes like 15 minutes for you the player to hit it EVERY TIME) that only takes you using an auto clicker or if you don’t wanna download auto clicker , spam space bar. Look, your opinion is yours, and my opinion is mine, just don’t say “OH, sword is bad cause I can’t play the game” and use a sword build that usually requires around 45 minutes that is 100% worth the grind, you deal insane damage like 14 if ur solo per turn, DAYUM, cruel king would only take around 5 turns which is insane, like slingshot can kinda do that, only 12 damage solo, my opinion is that your should use sling AS a support, not on its own Alr?
0:39 "WOW, IT DEALS 0 DAMAGE?" How about you turn off Ante Up And even on Slingshot, YOU'RE USING AN AUTOCLICKER, which can be considered cheating. So, by all stuff you said here, you have a massive skill issue.
Yes he does have a skill issue but that’s not the point, Anybody could easily accediently mess up an ante up sword attack and lose one turn of damage while with slingshot you will never mess it up because it’s literally just spamming click
@@Realtroyboy675 It IS possible to mess up with slingshot. Sling + Ante Up will decrease how much the bar fills when you click / press space and will give you less time, I miss sometimes with slingshot
one BAD thing about slingshot is even if the enemy has 1 DEFENSE, it gets deflected. but that doesnt make sword better, its still bad. *also idk if this applies to thorns too but i personally think BALL is best*
I don’t wanna sound rude but as a block tales player, the damage you’re able to do depends on your cards and quite frankly you just kinda suck at timing. There are many types of card builds that suit you better than others, but don’t judge a certain card just because you yourself can’t work well with it
Either this is ragebait, or you are stupid. Okay, Listen, Oh no, I need to use 1 SP to hit flying enemies or hit whoever I want instead of the most front person! So unfortunate! And multiple enemies or flying enemies arent that rare! Its really good there isnt a MORE COMMON THING that forces you to use MORE SP when using slingshot! defense
That’s not the point. He does have a skill issue but slingshot is actually better Anybody can easily mess up an ante up sword attack and lose 1 turn of damage while with slingshot you never have to worry about using ante up because it’s literally just spamming click
@@Realtroyboy675 But if you're half decent at rhythm games, then you would find sword to be more useful. It pierces half defense, which is, and in the future will be way more prominent than flying enemies. Slingshot doesn't pierce defense at all.

But if ur planning on fighting 3 fears? slingshot all the way, cause none of that fight has ANY defense, and it's generally better.
Hence, this entire video is for nothing, also a lot of these points are either false, or caused by skill issue
1:24 What’s your point here, slingshot costs sp to hit enemies with only one defense and is worse at doing its job
Error 1 : the fault of the action command being small is ante up
Error 2 : you could just NOT use ante up, you dont seem very good with it(atleast not with the sword), Cruel king helps you with trainament for a reason ya know
Error 3 : Powershot cant ignore defense meanwhile sword can pierce trough, in future chapters enemies will definetly have more defense, in my opinion, slingshot will only be better then sword if it gets an upgraded version
Error 4 : You dont even need an auto clicker with ante up and sligshot, it so easy (atleast for me)
Error 5 : There's a item that increases action commands, you should get some of thoses btw
But the one thing is you have to deal 6 DMG instead of 7 just cuz your enemy has 1 defense. Like bubonic plant: 2 defense and your slingshot does 5 instead of 7, and a sword does 6.
I agree, but with *ONE CONCEPTION*
Sword is just better at penetrating defense, that’s all!
Honestly, its better to just have a ball and a sword. Sword for your defensive/tanky enemies, and the ball/rocket for your lower enemies or to increase future damage. Also, Slingshot has many issues. Especially when counting the accursed stat called.. Defense. You dont have the option to still deal damage if you are out of SP. You just have to wait for the ice dagger or use an item.
i have to actually agree here, while the sword gets really good damage it lacks a lot of versatility that other weapons have. Also some weapons have not fully reached their true potential, this is still demo 3
The main problem with slingshot is that the enemies that have defense it will be deflected, ik power shot can damage the enemies but its just a waste of SP
The only bad thing of slingshot Is that you can't attack enemies that have shield
power shot can
@maryperez8429 It need sp, I just use venomshank to defeat shield enemies, If I fight a boss like hatred I just use normal sword
Powershot is a waste of sp just use dynamite, that stuffs made for anti-defense
Bro, i found this video one minute ago. XD
Dude your comparing a starter weapon to a mid-late game weapon....
And the sword will get more op overtime heck im predicting that the steel sword(the sword upgrade in the later chapters)would deal 5 or 6 damage on its own without any cards
wait so you agree, that the slingshot being midlate, means, its, better?
@Steakable for normal enemies kinda?
For bosses....no absolutely not
Heck I've seen people who played for more than 50 hours and their main choice of attacking is sword
Slingshot also gets buffed when you have steel sword
I think it's just bad to use a single weapon i personally use the combination of launcher and slingshot launcher lowers 1 defance for free allowing slingshot to damage 1 dafance enemys there are also berely any enemy that has more than 1 defense at the writing this comment in fact only 1 enemy in the entirety of demo 2 has more than 1 defense being the chapter boss bubonic plant. Im not forcing y'all to use this build but i think the best build is launcher+slingshot (also with sp saver, ante up and cruel king summon those are just generally good cards)
Also pls stop attacking this guy he makes some bad reviews yes but I just hate toxic community I'm not just a block tales player I play all sorts of roblox games and it's sad to see one of my favorite Roblox games ruined by a toxic community like everytime piggy updates there is always some sort drama for something stupid I don't want block tales to suffer the same fate
Slingshot is easier to land with ante up so its better
i do 10 damage with struking with ground pound it gives u extra damage by 2 get 3 charges and charge your self then do power stab and u have to do power stab with sword and do "NICE" and u will do 10 dmg with the sword so the sword is Good but if u dont do "NICE" it will deal 9 dmg or if theres enemys with shield i think it will do uhh 6 or 7 idk but the sword is good
charge is useless in solo
If you saying that sword is worse than slingshot
Then im not saying anything else
But at least, just treating slingshot as side upgrade of sword 😢
Cuz both of them has some strengh and weakness
first of all you need to buy slightshot and sword is free second of all powershot is 3 sp not 2 sp Third of all
Its called sword for a reason Its a sword Your supposed to target the first person Infront of you Its meele Weapon not a ranged weapon
well its a very bad sword
@ Wdym by its a very bad sword also Cruel king ally card is better than Gorrila ally card
@Steakable Unrelated, but I have something to ask.
Do you think *Red n’ Blue* summon is worth it?
@EarthsEverywhere It is a free card that seems quite balanced, seems good
@SteakableCruel king better
Dude how am i supposed to support you if you have a skill issue
First and most obvious : you have a skill issue
Second: even a tiny bit can make a difference (if multiple) and if you don't understand, lets say an enemy has 35 hp right? And when you attack you deal 6 with one attack and with the knight card or the iron sword (not sure which one of them makes the difference) you deal 7 with one attack, it may not seem lke much but 6 five times is 30 while 7 five times is 35 so technically even a little matters
Oh and you said "JuSt UsE aN aUtO cLiCkEr" which means you have a skill issue so the entire video was made because you have a skill issue.
Oh and don't you dare say something toxic or saying something like
"Bro is so mad"
Only your second point is good (about the damage difference stacking). It could also be argued that "skill issue" is also more reason that the sword is bad given it is an early game weapon. Otherwise saying skill issue doesn't mean anything because I am pretty sure sword wasn't meant to be a complicated weapon.
Personally, I think Sword vs Sling comes down to preference. Especially since they both have their points. Personally I like slingshot as the high damage compensates for the support builds I tend to play. (I either summon, venom, or ball slot for the defensive enemies. As I have come to realize powershot sucks quite a bit for defense in low damage as it doesn't have the min of 4 pellets.)
Knight if I understand it correctly boosts the _general_ damage in sacrifice of the ball slot, which means that slingshot *also* gets boosted, as it is a sword slot card.
I *hate* to admit it, but despite you saying that it shouldn't be said that you sound angry, the way you rant about "skill issue" is just sounds like a 9 year old. You just repeat that point over and over without much elaboration.
Though I get it, ante up is supposed to be for those who are skilled and mastered at their weapons of choice. OP probs just likes the simplicity of slingshot. Which, then again, is also a fair argument as simplicity does play a lot into weapon viability. An easy strat will often be more preferred to a more difficult one, which makes balancing pretty hard.
I will admit, Autoclickers do sound like cheating (though there are many more worse types of macros), though you really mustn't mention it in such a mocking tone-
@@hammielover225I agree with you a lot, but in my opinion using sword is a lot more fun to play instead of using sling, but I respect that you respect both worlds (hey, maybe in future I myself will prefer slingshot if it gets a buff???), what I think is that both weapons should get a buff in different ways, like fire sling or venom sling or smth like that, IK we are getting an upgraded sword in the future, but it’s sad to see some weapons being forgotten
@@leonaskey4496 personally given how ball already has status type actions (and how the "free status" cards remove the ball slot) I don't think sling is going to get statuses. Though there is a lot of ways you could use sling, such as having a rapid fire that has any overkill be sent to the next. Or the actual modification of the individual pellet damage. (they will obv be really expensive)
I am personally more worried for launcher as in my opinion it is pretty much for the most part is just a worse venomshank (and we are getting firebrand next too so that is also bad as it could be guessed that it will operate similarly) I think launcher has a lot going for it with gun type weapons (paintball included ;D idk it might be a method of "marking out" buffs of an enemy or smth idk.)
(Trowel might be a tool type card used for platforming over obstacles)
(Time bomb is like... already an item so yeah)
@ agreeable, launcher is rn not a great card to use and they should hopefully buff it
@@hammielover225 ok welp i can agree that i did sound like a 9 year old and to be fair i was pretty angry after watching the video
I like how everyone is roasting this guy lol
To be fair he does kind of deserve it, Sword is just as good as slingshot.
no sword is better against enemies with over 1 defense while slingshot is better ay everything else
@@happygammon false, the slingshot does 5 dmg by itself but if you add knight and ante up it will be 7 dmg.
55% of the time u are going to mess up a sword ante up attack but with slingshot you will always succeed it’s incredibly easy
@@Realtroyboy675 if you fail or succeed with the sword depends on the person
power stab can cost 1BP but power shot costs around 2 or 3BP i mean slingshot is kinda easy for beginners but it doesn't like pierce defense i mean what if your facing against an gaur and you only have a slingshot and a ball?
I mean this be a slingshot review not a sword review since I dont really count the base kit as 'cards' since they dont show up in the menu by the same name, but yeah I agree
I dont know about you,but having to waste 2 bp AND 2 sp just to target defensed enemies is not a good trade,just use sp saver+power stab
First of all, if you hate spending SP, just equip Ante Up and Knight.
Second of all, train your Ante Up skills for goodness sake.
Third of all, the Slingshot may be useful for non-defense enemies, but for enemies with defense you need to waste SP. The problem? Well you probably hate spending SP (like I mentioned in Point 1), well the Slingshot will start depleting your SP alot when Defense becomes more common. This will probably put the Slingshot into irrelavancy in the later half of the game.
Fourth of all, Sword Toss only cost 1 SP, and since you find 2 SP low for the Slingshot to go through defense, then why do you complain about Sword Toss Costing 1 SP? Flying Enemies are just Defenses, but for Swords. Bassicly, Slingshot's worst Nightmare is Defense and Sword's is Flying, and the solution for the sword costs 1 SP, and the solition for the Slingshot costs 2 SP.
Finally, Sword Toss exist to bypass the barrier of the First Enemy, and you can easily recover it by using Defense, Pass, Happy SP, Ice Dagger, etc.
Your food at the end does not defend your case at all, the Sword is NOT GUILTY!
The Sword may not be Perfect, but it is certainly better than this scrambled mess of a video.
the food does defend 😡, i didnt call it bad i said its a worse slingshot
@Steakable Ah so it's a worse Slingshot in your opinion, understood.
Yes
Just don't use ante up if you can't do it properly
dude ur just glazing slingshot hard rn, I mean there are people who cant get an auto clicker and like you aren't even doing a proper sword build
good idea, ill make a video saying the slingshot is great
no that’s not what I’m saying, you need to run a proper sword build that has sp drains, charges and all that stuff
@IMightBeAverageTheOne no no, i get what youre saying, im gonna make a video calling the slingshot great
@Steakablebro can't read
@Steakable i wanna solo 4 sentient statues 100 times by myself so bad with my launcher.
Excuse me but you just have something called:"skill issue"
Timing with the sword is borderline the lowest skill requiring things in this game. Ofcourse the sling shot is easier to use, by a bit. It is like saying drinking with a straw is easier than sipping. Therefore, sipping sucks
Sword trade the abilities to target enemies for free defense piercing and combine that with power stab(which costs the same amount of sp and less bp btw) just increases the damage even further so the power shit means shit compare to this in terms of fighting any thing with defense. No flying? No problem, sword toss. So sword is able to pierce defense, do higher damage to defense enemies and attack flying for the bp costs of a single power shot and costs 1 sp more than powershot when combined, not individually
sword early game, ante up early game, sword no need difficult.
@Steakable this comment literally makes no sense
you're using ante up, causing attacks that fail the action command to deal no damage. the sword penetrates through half defense. it can get good status effect cards. sword is not bad, but i see slingshot getting better! overall, sword is worse than slingshot, but it's going to improve over time! anyways do you think demo 4 is releasing today? could be earlier this week or, if lucky, can release today later!
Demo 4 aint coming atleast untill late january for sure
@@tyrant8093 people say since it's coming before 2025 it can come at 31st december at the most
@@antidroidRGD ''People'' ı doubt they do block takes ATLEAST takes 2 months for a new demo release and their current priority is prologue update theres literally no logical reason for anyone to think demo 4 is coming this month or even before 2025 its simply impossible
Alr so this is my opinion on the matter
Slingshot IS good in different situations (arguably better) but I prefer sword as its fun to play instead of just spamming space bar, your also using ante up with sword which u can remove and sling can also deal 0 damage without ante up, there is a reason WHY the make it cost 1 SP for y to do sword throw and that it is because you of course, have knight equipped, it’s just better than using rocket boots or dynamite , I’m not going to use 5 so to deal 4 damage when I can use 1 for arguably more damage. Sword also keeps you on edge, of GOOD gameplay (although I’m not saying slingshot is bad gameplay I just don’t like using slingshot cause it’s boring), it requires skill to use and not just a auto clicker, like, why would you install smth to make ur game easier??? Like if ur speed running then ok, but just normal gameplay is going to be extremely boring, if you are a support class then sure, use sling or launcher, but offensive, sword OR (most likely not) superball, slingshot is good yes, but it requires 0 skill to master, id rather spend HOURS trying to master sword than sling (and sword only takes like 15 minutes for you the player to hit it EVERY TIME) that only takes you using an auto clicker or if you don’t wanna download auto clicker , spam space bar.
Look, your opinion is yours, and my opinion is mine, just don’t say “OH, sword is bad cause I can’t play the game” and use a sword build that usually requires around 45 minutes that is 100% worth the grind, you deal insane damage like 14 if ur solo per turn, DAYUM, cruel king would only take around 5 turns which is insane, like slingshot can kinda do that, only 12 damage solo, my opinion is that your should use sling AS a support, not on its own Alr?
0:39 you just used ante up
He’s trying to say that it’s hard to use ante up with sword compared to slingshot
He has a skill issue ☠️
Sling shot is easier to use tho
0:39 "WOW, IT DEALS 0 DAMAGE?"
How about you turn off Ante Up
And even on Slingshot, YOU'RE USING AN AUTOCLICKER, which can be considered cheating. So, by all stuff you said here, you have a massive skill issue.
Yes he does have a skill issue but that’s not the point,
Anybody could easily accediently mess up an ante up sword attack and lose one turn of damage while with slingshot you will never mess it up because it’s literally just spamming click
@@Realtroyboy675 It IS possible to mess up with slingshot. Sling + Ante Up will decrease how much the bar fills when you click / press space and will give you less time, I miss sometimes with slingshot
@@JustAFriend2 bro all you have to do is spam click ☠️ how are you telling him he has a massive skill issue when you also have a massive skill issue 😭
@@Realtroyboy675 He literally uses an auto clickerrr
dude you used ante up that's why it dealed 0 dmg
one BAD thing about slingshot is even if the enemy has 1 DEFENSE, it gets deflected. but that doesnt make sword better, its still bad. *also idk if this applies to thorns too but i personally think BALL is best*
Finally I agree😊
How tf do u agree??
agree that he has a skill issue, right?
I don’t wanna sound rude but as a block tales player, the damage you’re able to do depends on your cards and quite frankly you just kinda suck at timing. There are many types of card builds that suit you better than others, but don’t judge a certain card just because you yourself can’t work well with it
This video made me offended
Either this is ragebait, or you are stupid.
Okay, Listen, Oh no, I need to use 1 SP to hit flying enemies or hit whoever I want instead of the most front person! So unfortunate! And multiple enemies or flying enemies arent that rare! Its really good there isnt a MORE COMMON THING that forces you to use MORE SP when using slingshot!
defense
rocket launcher jumpscare!!
@Steakable ...I dont think you can scare me with what I main.
...Okay maybe you can.
Ok first of all you have skill issue. Second of all you only said the bad thing about sword and not the slingshot. Third of all *bald*
Fax
Steak is horrible at reviewing cards ngl he’s never fair 😭
Duh. It’s an upgrade for a reason.
Wow I didn’t know you were actually THIS bad at the game
Skill issue
skill issue
That’s not the point. He does have a skill issue but slingshot is actually better
Anybody can easily mess up an ante up sword attack and lose 1 turn of damage while with slingshot you never have to worry about using ante up because it’s literally just spamming click
@@Realtroyboy675 But if you're half decent at rhythm games, then you would find sword to be more useful. It pierces half defense, which is, and in the future will be way more prominent than flying enemies. Slingshot doesn't pierce defense at all.
@@Realtroyboy675 Also, sword can hit flying enemies (for 1 less sp, and 1 less damage than a power shot on enemies with just 1 defense.
