Introduction

Welcome back to another episode of Buggy Fear! In the last episode, we hatched and tamed a Nova with average stats. We named it Tropia War Crime and tested its fire barf ability. However, due to my mistake, I underestimated its power as I forgot to power it up. Today, we will rectify that and put Tropia War Crime to the test against some creatures. We will also discuss its viability in boss fights and explore the underwater world. And most importantly, we will face off against Skynet once again, as it is now fixed and ready to be defeated. So let's not waste any more time and jump right into the action!

The Nova Hatchling

In the previous episode, we obtained a Nova hatchling with decent stats. Tropia War Crime has 47 points in health and melee, making it a mid-level Nova. While it may not be exceptionally powerful, it is still an improvement over our previous Nova. We decided to nickname it Tropia War Crime to suit its classification as a war criminal. Our goal is to test its abilities and determine its effectiveness in combat.

Testing the Fire Barf Ability

Before we begin testing Tropia War Crime against various creatures, we need to power up its fire barf ability. In the previous episode, I made the mistake of not powering it up, which resulted in underestimating its true potential. After powering up Tropia War Crime, we noticed a significant increase in damage output. The fire barf now does 600 damage per tick, which is a substantial improvement. Let's put it to the test and see how it performs against some creatures.

Facing Off Against Origins

For our first test, we have chosen to pit Tropia War Crime against Origins, specifically an Origin Rex and an Origin Argentavis. Luckily, we stumbled upon these creatures, saving us the trouble of creating our own punching bag. With Tropia War Crime fully powered up, we initiated the battle. The results were impressive, with the fire barf dealing over 100k damage per tick. While it may not be as powerful as we had hoped, it is a notable improvement over its previous performance. However, the overall damage output and sluggishness of Tropia War Crime make us question its usefulness in higher-level boss fights.

The Disappointing Results

After testing Tropia War Crime against various creatures, including Origins, we have come to the realization that its fire barf ability falls short of our expectations. Despite being more powerful than before, its damage output is still underwhelming. Considering the effort required to obtain and power up Tropia War Crime, we question whether it is worth using in boss fights. Additionally, its slow movement speed further hampers its effectiveness in combat. We have decided to keep the name "fire barf" as it accurately reflects its subpar performance.

Fire Barf's Viability in Boss Fights

Based on our tests, it is evident that Tropia War Crime, with its fire barf ability, is not an ideal choice for boss fights. Its low damage output and sluggish movement make it impractical when facing powerful bosses. Other creatures, such as Medusa and Dark Matter, surpass Tropia War Crime in terms of damage and overall effectiveness. Moreover, its lackluster performance does not justify the effort and resources required to obtain it. Therefore, we recommend exploring other options for boss fights.

Exploring the Water

In our Quest for new challenges, we have decided to embark on an underwater exploration. The vast ocean offers a plethora of mysteries and dangerous creatures. We Are excited to dive into this uncharted territory and discover what lies beneath the surface. From Hidden caves to elusive creatures, the underwater world presents a whole new set of challenges and opportunities. Join us as we Delve into the depths and uncover the secrets of the deep sea.

The Return of Skynet

After the disappointment of Tropia War Crime, it's time to shift our focus back to Skynet. In our previous encounters, Skynet proved to be a formidable opponent with its massive health and damage resistances. However, with recent fixes implemented by its creator, we are hopeful that we will finally be able to defeat Skynet and claim its tameable creation. Armed with Dark Matter, our powerful creature, we are ready to take on Skynet once again and emerge victorious.

The Battle Begins

With Dark Matter at our side, we initiate the battle against Skynet. Using its lightning attacks and cluster orbs, we take on Skynet's immense health pool. As the battle ensues, we find ourselves in a back-and-forth exchange of damage. Dark Matter's lightning proves to be a potent weapon, but Skynet's resistance and damage output test our endurance. The fight becomes a war of attrition, with both sides dealing heavy blows. Will Dark Matter prevail, or will Skynet prove to be an unbeatable adversary?

Skynet's Unique Abilities

During the battle with Skynet, we witness its unique abilities in action. Skynet's chin gun, although non-functional for the Survivor, serves as a marker of its identity. The minion pods on its back replace the giant guns seen in previous versions. These pods release powerful cluster orbs that deal significant damage to the surroundings. Additionally, Skynet's horns are adorned with Tesla coils, which can target flying creatures and unleash devastating lightning strikes. These unique features showcase Skynet's design and add to its overall appeal.

Skynet's Overwhelming Health

One aspect of Skynet that stands out is its overwhelming health pool. With a tamed version having 2.8 billion health, it surpasses any creature we have encountered so far. Combined with a high armor saddle, Skynet becomes an unstoppable tank. The sheer amount of damage reduction makes it nearly invincible in battles. While this may seem game-breaking, we suspect that Skynet's health is unintentionally high and may be subject to adjustment in future updates.

The Final Verdict

After an intense battle, we have come to a final verdict on Skynet. Despite its impressive design and unique abilities, Skynet falls short in terms of damage output and overall viability. Its extraordinary health pool, while initially exciting, renders it more of a trophy tame than a practical creature. Skynet's lack of substantial damage and slower movement speed make it less effective in boss fights compared to other creatures like Medusa and Dark Matter. Unless significant changes are made, Skynet may remain an underutilized creature in the Ark Survival Evolved Universe.

Conclusion

In conclusion, our encounters with Tropia War Crime and Skynet have been a mix of excitement and disappointment. Tropia War Crime, while an improvement over its predecessor, falls short in terms of damage output and practicality. On the other HAND, Skynet's impressive design and overwhelming health make it an intriguing creature, but its lackluster damage and slower movement hamper its effectiveness in battles. As we venture forward, we will Continue to search for more powerful and viable creatures to conquer the challenges that await us in Ark Survival Evolved. Stay tuned for more thrilling adventures in the next episode of Buggy Fear!
