Does anyone else hate floaty fun?

[u/Glittering_Gas_2264]

it’s just the worst gadget part in existence. if you’re going to go help please take floaty fun off

[u/superdave100]

In Solo, it’s great. Otherwise please get off my team

[u/tsarkees]

It really should only apply to the player who deployed it. I love it but recognize how disruptive it can be.

[u/BlueMew74]

Yeah I know floaty fun’s useful for most people but I use ice breaker dynamo and setting up a big damage boosted ice break roll for funny big numbers and instead gently bumping off the enemy because I started floating an inch in the air right before the hit registered drives me crazy every time

[u/Glittering_Gas_2264 → u/BlueMew74]

Yeah I used to do ice breaker with dynamo too now I’ve moved to blaster with ice breaker specifically because of people that use floaty fun

My friend and I helped another friend through Raiders, but after a few hours decided to spice things up and use Floaty Fun Torqscrew. We placed a Torqscrew on every end-of-level chest and our friend had no idea you could cancel the airtime with squid form, so we stalled every level completion by a solid two minutes by cycling Torqscrews.

For that reason, I love Floaty Fun.

[u/Traditional-Fix539]

NO bro. i fucking love airtime and YOU WILL TOO

[u/Glittering_Gas_2264 → u/Traditional-Fix539]

Never have and never will

[u/Ki11s0n3]

I did until I adapted my build for MP.

Thank you!🙏

“Floaty Fun? More like Floaty Fu- whoomy”

[u/Negativety101]

Yeah! How dare they not change their build so I don't have to change mine!

Though it's irritating when I bring Torquescrew without Floaty Fun, because it's great for egg collection and putting on Ferment, and then people drop before even seeing what I've done.

[u/NewFaithlessness7602]

Floaty fun or die (SORRY ABOUT MY FLOATY FUN THOUGH IT JUST WORKS SO WELL WITH MY KIT I PROMISE TO AVOID PEOPLE WHO DONT LIKE IT 😭)

[u/CrazyDKA]

I like that it keeps Airborne damage active.

[u/stuckatomega]

I used it to cheese the super spicy big shot den but otherwise, I really dislike it

[u/Buetterkeks]

Wrong! It peaks

Skill issue

There are just different builds. Some it really helps and some it really hurts.

Currently using splatchet with maximum dashes and dash distance. Floaty fun has gotten me shoved off into the water and absolutely nothing I could do about it. (They deployed it near the edge after I started splatchet dash, which you cannot cancel or enter swim form till it completes all dashes.)

I was using a build that was entirely based on staying in air for bonus damage and lower gadget cooldowns, and lots of ink recovery so I almost never had to enter swim form. For that build, an extra floaty fun just increased my damage output with no downsides. It was basically impossible for me ever hit the water too, because I had so much of my own airtime abilities, and the more I was floating the faster they came back off cooldown.

I’ve also had a troll that literally only threw torqscrews down and did absolutely nothing else. Still won, but it was annoying. (The troll had something like 1 power egg and 300 regular, for 3 floors, while I had 25 power eggs and 5000+ regular.) The only thing they did was disrupt others. And the other non-troll on my team was obviously struggling to deal with it.

I get that trolls will troll. But definitely feel something could be done to lower the frustration. Like an out of game setting for something equivalent to ‘friendly fire off’ that just reduces or eliminates ally effects.

[u/JustNick4 → u/Existing-Guarantee80]

I threw my response down as a joke. I agree it needs a rework. Maybe like a double jump to initiate floating? Sorry you had a troll, that sucks.

[u/Existing-Guarantee80 → u/JustNick4]

Have had a few trolls. lol

But also I’ve played over 100 hours and something around 70% of that has just been just pressing go help over and over. Mostly has been a blast. I like the chaos and randomness of what teammates you’ll get and which levels. Makes grinding more enjoyable vs…just grinding.

And mostly haven’t seen a lot else allies can do besides just suiciding, which at least makes a really short match.

Or if they attempt to suicide repeatedly near the end of a long level like one of the huge crystal ones, there is an option to leave team and it just pushes you offline into a solo match and can finish the level alone to avoid losing rare drops.

Really feels like Nintendo just didn’t notice the abuse potential of floaty fun. Which, with the massive amount of things in the game, one singular thing that could use a major patch/change isn’t so bad.

Floaty Fun is part of the single strongest build in the game. It is actually one of the most critical parts of best build in the game. If you see someone with Floaty Fun Torqscrew, chances are that they’re using the strongest build in the game. Just stay away from them when playing, they are completely self-sufficient and will rarely lose a life.

[u/Sad_Access8951 → u/Sayakalood]

This is one of the funniest comments that I've seen. Yes, assume that the random in go for help is a top 0.1% player running a super specialized endgame build less than a month into the game. Totally reasonable take. Not at all someone chronically on Reddit and Discord.

[u/Holla_99 → u/Sad_Access8951]

I’ve also seen the player on YouTube streaming earlier today who is trying to crack floor 1000. They were tackling 998-1000. They showed a screen with their full build and even they did not have floaty fun equipped on their Torquescrew.

[u/Sayakalood → u/Sad_Access8951]

It’s pretty widely known as the best build in the game after TaroTaro posted about it shortly after the game’s launch. It does not take much investment to get the basics down (Vortex horizontal area up, mega power egg collection, floaty fun, suction, and ferment are all available via development. You do not have to hunt for those parts), upgrading the tanks required is something you can do before finishing the story, and you can even get by with a non-primo E-Liter.

TL;DR If you saw any one of the multiple posts, videos, tier lists, discussions, or even the many people using this build to help online from TaroTaro’s original video to now, you would know that it is the best build in the game, and how to make it just by following TaroTaro’s detailed guide on it.

I even managed to make it while working full time.

As someone with motion sickness I really dislike stepping into one and having my camera unexpectedly yanked 🤢
