You know , the game has set a 1v1 mode for a year. Why not share your techniques with others to hit a high streak?
Super Good Animals
These are the animals that give you the best chance of getting a high streak.
Hgh skill cap animals tend to thrive(If you have skill). They include:
- Orca
So many glitches and tricks one can use. I’ve even gotten a few animals stuck in walls and let toxic algae kill them. Best bet against them is to play non-grabbable.
- Giant Squid
Air pin with the giant squid is broken, but requires some practice to pull off. It has decent stats and can heal rather quickly using its grabs. Same advice as orca, play a non-grabbable if you hope to counter it.
- Humpback Whale
Two types of humpbacks: Stun Spammers and Combo-ers. Both are deadly. Also it is a non-grabbable animal.
- Alligator Gar
Heavy damage and high speed attacks. It is good because it has no direct counters(that I know of).
A few other animals thrive because of how broken they are.
- Atlantic Torpedo
What can I say. Pancake OP. It can pin oponents against walls and drain half of their hp with a single boost.
- Colossal Squid
It can deal amazing burst damage. The main problem is its speed, but it isn’t much of a problem. It can also escape grabs. Mainly you want to dodge it and grab it constantly, rendering it useless.
- Whale
High stats, great ability, no skill required, but a few direct counters. Can’t be grabbed. They are the torpedo and anaconda.
- Anaconda
Deals decent damage over time with its grab, but the main factor of it being so good is oxygen depletion. It can grab anything, even whales.
- Alligator Snapping Turtle
Heavy armor, high armor penetration, bleed, stun. AST has it all.
- Hippo
High stats, great ability, little skill required. It’s like whale. It also can’t be grabbed.
- Polar Bear
Can easily chase down or out-DPS any animal.
Playable Animals
These animals are able to attain high streaks, but usually requires luck and quite a bit of skill.
- Sleeper Shark
This is on the border between the two categories. Its stun is amazing but the limited range of motion holds it back.
- Marlin
Also on the border between the two categories. It heals very fast with its speed and its bleed is great. Fantastic against armored targets.
- Cachalot
Spectacular base stats, but low mobility. It also can’t be grabbed. A cachalot player with over 3 braincells is still a threat. Take caution.
- Basking Shark
A basking shark in its regular state is mediocre at best. An enraged basking shark is deadly.
- Walrus
When using its tusks, its DPS is outmatched and it cannot be grabbed.
- Crocodile
Insane DPS but struggles against ungrabbables.
- Whale Shark
It is deadly and scary, but it can also easily be countered.
- Leatherback Sea Turtle
What makes it so great is that it can deny any grab. However, bleed and poison go through your shield.
- Coconut Crab
It has heavy armor and great damage coming from above. It can also stop animals from running.
- Goblin Shark
It ranks on the low side of this category, for the reason that it struggles against tanky targets. It is still dangerous in the right hands.
Mediocre Animals
All the other animals rank in this category. It’s extremely rare for these animals to attain high streaks. A few more tips are:
- Never play 10 piranhas. It loses against anything.
- Shake vigorously to make an anaconda let go.
- Zooming out using a scroll wheel helps.
- You need luck to get high streaks (encountering no highly skilled players) in most cases.
- Keep practicing. One day you’ll be on the leaderboards!
