however if you look at the final boss, every single one of those squirrels benefitted from the "first peg hit is upgraded by 10" relic, so it might be even stronger than tom thinks it is
Forbification generates a lot of ballwark at level 3. It's better if you have something to crush those shields, but if you're trying to amass ballwark it's crazy good.
Especially if you have the proper relic support. There's a relic that gives you Ballwark when shields are made and a relic that gives you Ballwark when shields are broken. If you have both of these, you're eventually getting like 12 Ballwark every 3 pegs hit at level 3, which is absolutely insane.
Like everyone above, Forbification works best with the ballpeen hammer (which gives you 1 ballwark any time a shield is made) and fiery furnace, along with either orbsium, worbhammer, or infernorb to break the shields.
Forbification is good with the relic that give bulwark when shield pegs are broken, but there's another relic that gives 5 bulwark when a shield peg is created aswell.
When your inside slime boss, the best move i've found is to break a few pegs on the sides, and then throw a orb into the slime wall, usually peels down for good damagios
Love me some Peglin, but Forbification is a good example of one of my few gripes with it. It can very obscure, and would really benefit from a more robust tooltip system. The shield business isn’t explained at all, and instead it explains what it means when a peg is “hit.” Thanks, Peglin, I think I figured that one out. Wish there were tooltips for the board too. I got the prime slime relic a few times, and it makes my board very pretty, but I have no clue what all these colorful pegs are actually doing.
14:11 unsure if it's been noted before but an 'Angry Tomahawk' seems suspiciously lacking in ball related puns. Perhaps it could be pertaining to some loveable character. Who knows.
Ballwark _REALLY_ does work in the early levels like that Spiderweb one where you're usually taking a ton of 1HP hits, and instead you just come out unscathed.
Christoph Walts going "THATS A BINGO!" is def one of my favorite movie scenes. TBF he killed every scene hes in, in Inglorious Bastards. And in Django. Such a fun actor.
Forbification combos very well with two trinkets and a ball that kills the shields in one hit (like the axe one or the fire ball). There is one trinket that gives ballwark when you apply shields to pegs, and one that gives ballwark when you destroy shields on pegs. I have used that combo once to get nearly a thousand ballwark in one fight.
I've never really made a full ballwark build work. Best I've done is like half bomb, half ballwark where the ballwark's primary job is protecting me from the red bomb damage.
there's also a ballpeen hammer relic that gives you ballwark when you create shields, it can make for a great combo with the fiery furnace and essential oil
Tips for Tom: -Upgrade sphear, it has good pierce damage which helps to deal with knights -You don't want more refreshes when you have the Bag of Orange Pegs since it grants a damage multiplier the more pegs are deactivated -Forbification works great with two specific relics, Fiery Furnace & and Ball Peen Hammer -Not a great play picking up the mask and then dropping the Orbust, which would have been 2 mucircle instead of one each attack, but it didn't matter anyway
I think that was the most value I've ever seen from Critikris in the last fight Your crit damage was 195, and you activated 3 crits in the shot, so it did 1170 damage to all enemies
Hey Tom, have you seen Aliensrock also does Peglin videos? He has some nice editing that makes it easier to see what balls and relics are on offer and stuff like that.
Daily reminder that Tom is an amazing person and to thank him for all he has done/will do - Day 1341 Yey, good fun Peglin times :D See, the Giant Slime nearly beating Tom is payback to what he said last episode Goodness that Ballwark is good :D Damn XD, classic Tom, Shield Hindsight XD
Forbification works really well with 2 different relics: grant ballwark for every shield created and grant ballwark for every shield destroyed! Don't dismiss the little fella he does a good job!
Bulwark is fine, it doesn't scale as high or as quickly as most of the better builds, but it also has the benefit of being a "safer" build as you essentially get free "healing" just by having a lot of bulwark to soak damage. I find its a good transition build if you are offered a lot of bulwark stuff early but not necessarily a good late game transition build on its own. That said, Bulwark has saved my ass when I got unlucky with a self damage build and didn't get enough healing items/orbs... added a bucklorb or two at the very end to help soak damage on the final floor and scrape out a win when I otherwise would have died.
Was waiting for the shield break relic to pop up. If you multiball plus durable and the relic that gives all orbs the ability to hit empty pegs, bulwark stuff can get 1k in one go if you're lucky with refreshes and then 1 shot everything. I really wish they would rework the difficulty thing so it doesn't hurt rapidly degrade into spam until you luck into one of very few viable paths at higher levels.
the ballwark dream build would be: worbhammer (lvl 2+ for instantly breaking shields peg), bucklorb, protectorb, forbification, best orbfence (gains +3 dmg for every ballwark, this is a rare orb), irresponsiball. and for relics you need: fiery furnace(+5 every shield destroyed), ballpeen hammer (+5 every shield created), essential oil (+1 ballwark every ballwark u gains), mask of joy (+1 good effect on you every time so +1 ballwark). then you hope for ripostal service so you can clear enemies really fast since you have a LOT of armor. Also please try an orbsium build with swoltorb (lvl 3) and for your aoe in this build get echo orb (at lvl 3 it has 100% echo)
The only time creating shields is good IMO is if you have the relic that gives you ballwark when shields are created, or the relic that gives you ballwark when shields are destroyed. But those relics show up way too infrequently IMO
Hey tom hope all is going well, i do not know if u know but Holocure is getting a update on Aug 17 so might be something to look into in next few weeks
Forbification: This is me angrily typing that it's the best one you had for getting what you wanted, you just didn't pay attention. For real though not angry love your stuff. Keep up the fun work.
i think the shields dont do damage when you hit them but contribute to the ballwark... so it was kinda silly to remove the orb... should have removed the spear instead especially when you had the overwhammer
Ah Tom.. Gets a relic that gives bonus damage the more blank pegs there are, then goes for 2 extra refreshes, to make that first one pointless cause he keeps refreshing
The problem with Balladin is that the meta is quite stale. It's basically one or two builds you can do and the rest is unvaiable even on Crucball 1. The Cruciball hunting with that one will be tedious.
Forbification just gives you a ton of ballwark, blocking the pegs is maybe a downside but you kind of fixated on that instead of noticing the ton of ballwark.
The Forbification is great when your buffing the pegs, pretty sure the peg doesn't give damage buuuuut if you hit it with something like a Swoltorb it gets the + from it, so it certainly has some use tho it does feel niche.
I think a fun thing to do in this series would be making up(or taking suggestions from the comments) fun little builds(challenging or just dumb fun) to try and beat the game with, at least once the game starts getting stale
Squirrel sadly does not help wth "hit x pegs to do y" orbs because it counts as its own orb. Still a fantastic relic
however if you look at the final boss, every single one of those squirrels benefitted from the "first peg hit is upgraded by 10" relic, so it might be even stronger than tom thinks it is

The relic Ball peen Hammer generates bulwark every time you crush a shield, so Fortification would scale insanely.

Angry comment about getting rid of the Forbification.

great to hear from yogscast seagull again @ 22:45
literally did the 😲 irl

Green = health
brownish/poop = poison, I think. That’s all I’ve figured out so far. But fully agree. What’s their buffs?
@@vater1760 there is a green slime that is poison too, pink is bounce and purple lightening
1:39 Ya know ive watched alot of peglin from tom and ive never noticed the minotaur’s map is its head .-.
Wow! I have also played the game and had never noticed that one. There are a lot of clever arts in the peg shapes
14:11 Angry Tomahawk, is that a reference to you?
That's what I thought too.
14:11 unsure if it's been noted before but an 'Angry Tomahawk' seems suspiciously lacking in ball related puns.
Perhaps it could be pertaining to some loveable character. Who knows.
Sad Tom didn't upgrade sphear earlier as it can pierce 3 enemies at max level. I really like the sphear for fighting shield nerds
Ballwark _REALLY_ does work in the early levels like that Spiderweb one where you're usually taking a ton of 1HP hits, and instead you just come out unscathed.
Christoph Walts going "THATS A BINGO!" is def one of my favorite movie scenes. TBF he killed every scene hes in, in Inglorious Bastards. And in Django. Such a fun actor.
Fiery Furnace really does work super well. Ended the last boss with over 1000 bulwark with that and those upgraded orbs that make shielded pegs.
FYI for the cubes
orange- Attack
blue- heal
purple- buff
I myself always go for purple first
damn thats cool I always thought it was random when it buffed or attacked or healed
Forbification combos very well with two trinkets and a ball that kills the shields in one hit (like the axe one or the fire ball).

Bam! Peglin time
The auto-generated subtitles _always_ think the "Uh- Bam!" at the beginning is "Obama" and it's always funny to me
I've never really made a full ballwark build work. Best I've done is like half bomb, half ballwark where the ballwark's primary job is protecting me from the red bomb damage.
Getting the mask made the build so much more broken, it made the Bucklorb and Protectorb give 4 ballwark instead of 3 each time.
there's also a ballpeen hammer relic that gives you ballwark when you create shields, it can make for a great combo with the fiery furnace and essential oil
Tips for Tom:
-Upgrade sphear, it has good pierce damage which helps to deal with knights

Hey Tom, have you seen Aliensrock also does Peglin videos? He has some nice editing that makes it easier to see what balls and relics are on offer and stuff like that.
I wanna see Tom do a nice Morbid build. Get real spooky.
omg what? This is literally what I asked/hoped for in a previous episode :3 thank you
Theres a relic that grants you 5 ballwark whenever those shield pegs are made. It gets pretty nutty
Nice! Thanks for showing us a ballwark build!
Daily reminder that Tom is an amazing person and to thank him for all he has done/will do - Day 1341
Yey, good fun Peglin times :D
See, the Giant Slime nearly beating Tom is payback to what he said last episode
Goodness that Ballwark is good :D
Damn XD, classic Tom, Shield Hindsight XD
We love some pegging.
Hitting shielded pegs still counts as a hit so would still help bulwark
Love me some Peglin from Tom. Well played.

Got the opportunity to meet the guy who does the soundtrack for this game. So much cooler to play now tbh. (Chrashtroid on Newgrounds btw)

The subtitles always say 'Obama and welcome everyone'. That is all.
When did they add the Angry Tomahawk ball to the game? Why did no one tell me they added Tom to the game?
If you havent done a morbid build i highly recommend it! Its my favourite relic, matched with swoltorb itss very strong.
Why not upgrade your Sphear?
Seems more like stacking crits carried the day here
I’ve actually seen people get a 999/999 irresponsball. I want to say it was on the Ultra C channel.
Mandatory Algorithmic Comment Because We Love Tom and the Editing xx
Ah Tom..
Gets a relic that gives bonus damage the more blank pegs there are, then goes for 2 extra refreshes, to make that first one pointless cause he keeps refreshing
Low skill/impossible to kill is my favourite rpg strat
PEGLIN!
you should do Cruciball! Unlock the Balladin!
28:15 you had the ballwark RUN to end them all and you ruined it
I demand we see another, more patient bullwark run, for the way of the tank is slow and steady, not impulsive!
I've always wondered, is Tom short for Thomas or Tomald?
The problem with Balladin is that the meta is quite stale. It's basically one or two builds you can do and the rest is unvaiable even on Crucball 1. The Cruciball hunting with that one will be tedious.
bro is not late from anything
Oh hell yes
man... imagine this run with actual multiball instead of squirrel....
Gotta be honest the paladin is by far the least fun class in the game. Just really low damage and lack of healing options
Man, that build sure would've had good synergy if Tom didn't go for the Irresponsiball.
Eh, he has double discard so it's not so bad
Forbification just gives you a ton of ballwark, blocking the pegs is maybe a downside but you kind of fixated on that instead of noticing the ton of ballwark.

heck yeah first
If you can get the bag of oranges and the morb boss relic where dead pegs still count towards damage it's a fun time.
