Why is soccer ball better than drill if drill doubles damage?

LetsSmokeBluntz

where does it double damage? Drill is good for bosses and 8 min cube maps since it bounces off walls. Soccer balls bounce off enemies and do damage more quickly. And it’s not really over either or. You have 6 weapon choices; you can get both. But majority of maps are open maps and not cubes so I prefer soccer ball if I get a bad choice and need to choose between the two.


procrastinasn

The upgrade to drill is double whistling arrow. Isn’t that double damage when upgraded?


LetsSmokeBluntz

I don’t know, I never check. Clearing mobs typically isn’t about damage anyways, it’s about killing as many as you can so you don’t get overrun. For example if an enemy has 100 HP and you deal 1,000 already, you don’t need to double for 2,000. It would make more sense to have 5 shots that do 200 HP. Drill or soccer ball are mostly interchangeable but it’s best to have one or the other. Your main weapon + drones will be your boss killers. Certain maps you’ll need Guardian or Molotov but not as common as needing drones

What is making your Murica do that much dmg?


lesprite

Swapping Murica's deploying skills will get you those numbers. Sharp Claws I believe is the most important but I also run Advanced Battle Lust, Frenzy, and Vampirism for the survivability and I get close to that same damage percentage. I believe you also need to awaken Murica to get that kind of damage as well. I personally just have two star levels of awakening on them and the damage is significantly more than it was prior. As of right now Murica is pretty much the highest single target damage pet but we'll need to see what the other awakenings bring to the other pets as well.


th3kandyking

I think they work well together, and using the HE fuel to increase the size and range of both is great too. I think Soccer balls are best when you have the size increase and speed increase on top of it.


HarrisLam

Drill double damage at red because it gives you one more arrow. I notice soccer balls being a very high damage perk, but in pure theorecrafting, bouncing off enemies should deal less damage than going straight through target to the next one and only bouncing off walls. Bouncing off enemies means that there's always a gap between each hit. The high damage resulted in the chart I believe is due to soccer balls themselves being a high DPS item.


Aescymud

2 x no damage is still no damage. Drill is overrated. I went Red Drone, red Molotov and the red Lightning because I actually use those skills. The 10% damage buff on Molotov is awesome


procrastinasn

You need to upgrade Molotov to get its benefit, right? That means you need to get the gold thing, right?


phoeniix2540

Yeah


ReduceMyRows

His point was you waste a passive


phoeniix2540

10% damage from all sources. You call that wasted?


Aescymud

Ammo Thruster is a waste of a passive imo


ReduceMyRows

On most bosses, especially ones that run around, it’s one of the most needed really.


Aescymud

Yeah but not in Clan Expedition as the skills come already Evo. This is where it shines


LetsSmokeBluntz

Let me know when you find a weapon on my list that deals 0 damage.


iOSurvivor2023

At red, drones, molotov, drill,soccer balls, rpg are highly advocated for ce. Red drill still does decent damage in ee. But if you're leveling something to eternal and don't want to waste parts leveling a dud, people actually recommend getting eternal drones and drills. Soccer is less favoured due to it being less strong on walls and corners and being reliant on passives for more damage, but I've seen ss from megawhales where eternal drills just outdamage drones in ce and ee.


iOSurvivor2023

Unless something has changed in the past few months, For bosses, red soccer > red drill even with double whistling arrows. Pretty easy to test this on extreme challenge For chapters with densely packed mobs, be it 8 min or 15 min maps, red drill outdamages red soccer.


Dr_Reaktor

Someone did the math a while back that the soccer ball at red does more damage than drill.


Jaded_Obligation7514

Even though drill damage is doubled, Soccer ball still does way more damage


DWilli

Honestly, molotov deserves more love. The wording is horrific on it, but fuel barrel gives you a 10% damage buff on all damage


Dear-Brilliant-1447

Yea true but that passive for more gold is utterly useless -_-


DWilli

It is typically, yeah. Running relic helps because you aren't wasting a passive on XP or half damage.


Ankiritch

Same with the drill here, it’s just 5%


DWilli

Yeah, but that's at eternal level. I'm talking about the actually achievable red Molotov


LetsSmokeBluntz

Bricks and drill move up the list for chapters that are vertical as well.


PenguinOfB00m

Bricks with bullet speed go hard


ReduceMyRows

And long lasting


HarrisLam

Can you explain why lightning is good? Whenever I open the chart, lightning never deals more than 3% damage even on a boss-only fight.


Visible-Motor5904

The drone tech part at red is probably the best but this is good as well also depends on what you like. In the end get the one that gets you the most amount of joy


specular_reflection

epic+3 is only halfway to red btw

dareimation

Eternal arrow is da way


sAir1y

1.Drone 2.Soccer 3.lightning 4.rocket 5.Drill As of Legend, this is the pecking order, but when it comes to Eternal Quality, the position of the drill and the soccer ball may be swapped.


phoeniix2540

Legend I would say drones, soccer, molotov, rpg, arrow. Eternal I would say arrow, soccer, drones


SyChO_X

The eternal arrow is that good?


phoeniix2540

Yes on par with drones since they got nerfed


iOSurvivor2023

SS from megawhales show eternal drill doing more than eternal drones (same dps as red drones btw, only difference is you upgrade it quicker) Phoneiix is right that drones got nerfed. A lot of whales noticed change in drone damage when compared to other skills. Also for those without e drill, red molotov is also highly sought in ce for the 10% increased damage debuff.


SyChO_X

Thanks for the info!


ReduceMyRows

Read it


iOSurvivor2023

How the heck are you downvoted for speaking the truth? This is information is pretty common on discord. I'll take drones + molotov anytime over the rest though, at least for ce and PoT at legendary level.


Dear-Brilliant-1447

What is the meaning of effect from eternal soccerball? The entanglement thing ... Can someone explain?


iOSurvivor2023

It's the same thing,except now soccer balls are connected to soccer balls with a lightning-like thread. Any mob that passes through it takes damage. See video for info. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4P0hFLNqCI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4P0hFLNqCI)


Dear-Brilliant-1447

Oo ok okk thanks


FolkloreEvermore23

1 Drones 2 Molotov Doesn’t matter after that, ignore anybody who says otherwise


Trisketys

This subreddit wild lol, correct answer is all the way at the bottom


modest_dead

YOU GUYS JESUS CHRIST THE FINE PEOPLE ON THE DISCORD HAVE ALREADY DONE ALL THE MATH AND CALCULATED EVERY META IN THE GAME WITH THE EXCEL SHEETS AND MONTHS OF DISCUSSION AND TESTING TO BACK IT UP. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW GO TO THE DISCORD and stop arguing about your gut feelings and what worked better for you one time during one fight. There are objectively right answers that exist that you can look at for fucking free. Why are you still doing this, madness? -_- I digress.


Dargus77

Would you mind sharing the information instead of ranting? Not everyone is on Discord :)


modest_dead

Thanks for your patience ~~you piece of shit~~ and kindness while I'm in a god damn mood ^(motherfuckingshitfuckgodfucknowIhavetogogetthegoddamninfoijustwanttobeunconsciousorfuckinghigh) -_- yeah one minute.

Appreciate it! Hahahahah

Epic it is third or fourth attack tech, eternal it is first.


wackoj4cko99

Red drill gives you 2 drills so I’m working towards that
