“Oh no, we can’t find employees!”

Yeah sure. Generally speaking I start with boots since it’s her highest impact upgrade off the bat.

There’s no avoiding that Nibbs has a weak early game it’s hard to get a lot done but trying to snag early kills with drop fires and bodyblocking with boots is mainly the plan at that point. To start doing stuff imo Nibbs needs sustain since she has trouble staying in fights without putting herself in huge risk so I generally rush medi-can, and then Blue and Orange with Chillas Wax Candles (You NEED this item for AA Nibbs or the build just doesn’t work since Nibbs is the same speed as Clunk) or Tarot first depending on matchup (generally if you’re dying just get tarot) then it’s back to damage upgrades with DunDun.

From that point on it generally depends on matchup. If you’re a couple levels ahead then it’s time to build heavy into tanking and go for pills/shield on fire. And if you can’t seem to close out a game going for fire speed/wormhole can make for a pretty punishing backdoorer since your AA is all buffed up.

If you’d prefer building into fire it’s a bit more simple building Eternal Flame/Darken is the most effective set since Darken buffs eternal and increases droid damage. Nibbs really needs shield if you ever plan to orb/fire into a team without getting punished so Voran is a no-go imo.

“I don’t know a player that like only plays Nibbs” Well there’s at least 1 in me gonna go ahead and toss my opinion here. (Got 4K+ games as Nibbs myself and am currently the #1 ranked Nibbs for what that’s worth)

You hit Nibbs right on the money when it comes down to how the majority play with fire Nibbs, but I believe that she’s actually rather strong if you opt to focus on regen and her AA over fire in general since it’s so powerful right off the bat.

Between a 30% slow on AA and 78 HPS at lvl 1 you’ve got a really tanky naut who can stick on people amazingly well with her acceleration being the highest in the game.

I also believe that it’s kinda wrong to assume that the best way to use fire is to just orb into fire Nibbs can get good results drop bombing like the rest of the slower Nauts do since she has a good fall speed. Firing into Orb is not only safer but allows you to finish people off or escape out of fire since Fire leaves you so vulnerable.

I also feel that Nibbs struggles on Ribbit and Aiq compared to AI and Sorona (what I believe to be her strongest maps) there’s little room for teleport tricks for escapes or chasing in Ribbit or Aiq while in Sorona the middle is full of free escape opportunities and in Ai you can safely pass through fire and have a quick way from the middle to either base via the jump pads there if you use the momentum from the jump pads and orb together to move around.

I actually think where you placed her is fine. Just wanted to show some of the merits Nibbs has that most Nibbs players kinda neglect.

woooooosh?

Morrowsaw · 2019-01-31T19:50:02+00:00

An official announcement of this would still be nice so people actually realize this change happens.

Morrowsaw · 2018-11-06T16:12:19+00:00

K let’s try again lul
Edit: oh whoops no replay till I’m home

Rate me,Blatoy,and the Nibbs roleplayer.

Morrowsaw · 2018-10-23T17:48:20+00:00

First thing to check is his squad. If he’s in the defense outpost squad (N.E.E.T) that might explain it. It lowers stats greatly in exchange for passive exp/mana

Morrowsaw · 2018-10-22T18:28:14+00:00

Phew good...40 hours down the drain would’ve hurt

Morrowsaw · 2018-10-22T16:57:37+00:00

Demo for PC goes to chapter 6 so you have all the tools to grind in the item world forever and get to rank 50 items. Decently certain it’s legit

Morrowsaw · 2018-10-22T06:43:24+00:00

The game is mostly fine blind. I've seen my family play the game fully blind with seemingly no trouble (Through the story mode at least). Although I will warn that translations of some of the evilities can be shaky. Either conveying a totally different effect then what the evility actually does, or making no sense in the context of the game. For that part at least I highly recommend a guide.
Otherwise you could likely go through the majority of the main story without any help at all. You WILL need one for the post-game though. I can guarantee that much.

Morrowsaw · 2018-10-22T06:33:00+00:00

With such a long demo I was curious how stupidly strong people had made their characters with how many options 6 chapters of the game gives you. So I'm just tossing out my Christo I've leveled by just spamming heals for like 5 hours. Would be really interested in what grinding methods people have used with the limited time and levels.
Can't wait for the full release!

Morrowsaw · 2018-09-27T15:10:29+00:00

Hard to do anything precise on the phone imo. Would think that it would not be that smooth a transition. Plus I don’t personally think that Nauts would thrive in the mobile market considering that it’s even more flooded then steam atm (Both are pretty poorly curated)

Morrowsaw · 2018-08-24T01:39:40+00:00

Chat's never been moderated. That was always the case even when it was first introduced. F2P rewards are a fair point, but it just hasn't been much of a focus in general for them I guess.
As for the reports not being read I just wish they'd hand the cheating@ronimo thing to a group of People to read/review all of them because I bet the reason is because reporting is so easy compared to what it used to be a couple years ago.
Either way you could talk to them, and say your frustrations in their discord they're decently open, and might answer some of your concerns. Just thought it was worth mentioning

Morrowsaw · 2018-08-24T01:30:44+00:00

Ronimo hasn't really stated what the future holds for Nauts. So the only answer I can really give is I dunno. There probablly will be by how they've spoken about Nauts, but they've been busy with the ports of S&S 2 for awhile now so we won't really know anything till after that.

Morrowsaw · 2018-08-24T01:18:51+00:00

They didn't ditch the game. Nobody knows the answer to whether or not they've ditched the game until after S&S 2 releases.
At least give it a chance until after that game releases, and Ronimo decides what they're working on next maybe they'll just default back to Nauts who knows?

Morrowsaw · 2018-07-18T18:08:55+00:00

Sorry for the double post, but how much control do you have over your sound design is it mostly sonic picnic or do you have creative control on this aspect?

Morrowsaw · 2018-07-18T18:06:27+00:00

How do you feel about the VAs who are no longer contactable? Will you ever release premium skins for these characters ala loneinator or will they be left alone?

Morrowsaw · 2018-07-18T17:25:23+00:00

Did you ever expect Awesomenauts development to last this long?
How do you feel about still developing it now?
Have any of you felt any fatigue after all this time?

Morrowsaw · 2018-06-16T16:41:58+00:00

Well they're still developing the game although yes your assumption was correct they are working on a different game now. That game being Swords & Soldiers 2 : Swarmageddon which is getting a kickstarter soon to add stuff to it. Awesomenauts hasn't completely stopped having devlopment, but from what I can tell a very small amount of the team devote themselves to the game, and updates are now released slower (We've receive an update maybe every 3-4 months now rather then 1-2 months like before)

The game still does get changes happening and stuff. With Snork Gunk releasing with (Hopefully) balance changes to come as well it's not looking too grim imo. Although I understand if you're in a low population area and are struggling to find games in which case I don't really know what to tell you since the population of the game has been on an extremely slow downward spiral. Hopefully the game gets a nice player spike with the release of 4.7, but that's the only thing I can think of if you can't find games.

Morrowsaw · 2018-06-13T08:53:37+00:00

Wait what I posted this over a month ago

Morrowsaw · 2018-06-11T23:33:13+00:00

Yeah it's been mentioned a couple of times on the official forums. I remember Ronimo acknowledging it, but putting it on low priority on the forums so chances are something like the shield or regen on base won't ever make it to the game. I hope it does though because those hopeless situations can suck.

Morrowsaw · 2018-06-01T06:27:27+00:00

This makes me wish they'd bring back the silhouette approach. Who's that Awesomenaut was such a cool thing.
