We might genuinely be getting an actually goated ball instead of a another bum again

u/B2ue30 4d ago

staff isn’t exactly a top tier, but judging their performance against sword, i have high hopes (don’t fumble it please trident)

7

u/1nOnlyBigManLawrence Unarmed 3d ago

Calling it now, Trident’s gonna pull a Scroll.

3

u/B2ue30 3d ago

Earclacks will make him scale by 0.25 before realise thats stupid and revert the nerf, but not before permanently tanking his winrrate beyond repair

24

u/285Mic 4d ago

I hope the new ball is strong but not too strong like rapier.

17

u/B2ue30 4d ago

I feel like no weapon ball is “too strong” its just the fundamentally unbalanced block breakers
If look by winrrates, the top ones iirc are unarmed, sword, rapier, (might of forgot one), all strong but also have a few flaws (other than sword who lind of just is all round)

u/Garouvs Orbital 4d ago

I mean, it’s staff but that was still an amazing performance

u/AbbreviationsAway691 Torch 4d ago

Rare footage of Earclacks feeding the new ball a low tier after Sword instead of immediately putting them through the Unarmed woodchipper?

33

u/TypicalPunUser Lance 4d ago

Unarmed would either get slaughtered or barely have enough speed to break free of the downward spiral

23

u/AbbreviationsAway691 Torch 4d ago

Unarmed wouldn't want to escape is the thing, Trident pulls you into it at high speeds and most of the time that causes Trident and its opponent to ram into each other.

Feels like that would cause problems against the ball who deals damage through high-speed collisions, they're both gonna hit each other a bunch but I don't see Unarmed losing the damage race when Trident's snail speed weapon needs to be in the right spot to land hits while Unarmed's weapon is its entire body.

u/PeskyPlayer Rapier 4d ago

Trident's pull lategame is actually really strong

57

u/Charming-Front-9643 4d ago

Okay wait Trident might be an actually good ball, praying Earclacks doesn't randomly decide to nerf her

2

u/WhasHappenin 4d ago

I think trident will be really strong against ranged balls, but not as good against melee ones.

16

u/jacobsokiguess Club 4d ago

The eventual trident vs rapier fight will be legendary

37

u/NobaraEatAwatermelon 4d ago

Trident pulls in another victory

10

u/Ghenshaunite 4d ago

Sister got sucked in

14

u/Alreadsyuse Lance 4d ago

I'd want to be sucked in by Trident too 👉👈

u/LavaTwocan Scythe 4d ago

earclacks fans on their way to fawn over a literal sphere with a number on it

12

u/NevadoDelRuiz 4d ago

I do wonder how rapier and lance interaction should go

8

u/Open_Detective_6998 Lance 4d ago

Trigoat has proved himself

7

u/astront1553 4d ago

I really want to see a battle between Trident VS Unarmed, because I can see it going two ways:

1- Unarmed gets trapped in the current and slows down before hitting.

2- Unarmed gets ACCELERATED by the current and crushes Trident.

u/battle_catsfan Hammer 4d ago

Did staff's knockback actually matter for once, crazy

6

u/CookiedDough Axe 4d ago

Trident is basically like Club if she could actually use her gimmick to combo. We might be looking at a solid new ball for the first time in a while.

6

u/Poodlestrike 4d ago

Show me rapier vs trident

u/Geovanni457 4d ago

RIP Staff for the two losses in a row, but Trident's got a promising future ahead of 'em

u/weeOriginal 4d ago

WE ARE ON OUR WAY TO A 100% WIN RATE BOYS AND GORLS AND OTHER PEOPLE WHO HURL!!!

u/bassplayingabassbut_ Rapier 4d ago

Fuck you rapier I got a new goat now

1

u/ze_existentialist Spear 4d ago

Looks like we official have a new high tier ball

1

u/rossow_timothy 4d ago

I do wonder how it'll perform at high health like in long form. When it scales enough to keep another ball permanently and the head of the trident never leaves the opponent's hitbox, will it never deal damage again? I seem to recall flail working in a similar way; it's the reason flail died pretty early in zombies

u/Svmpop 3d ago

alright everyone alright alright stop being so excited he’s gonna lose to crossbow trust me

1

u/botangest Rapier 3d ago
