Are any of you guys picking Shiny Tar?

[pumkin1988]

I want to say that I ALWAYS use Molten Gold Ceiling Trap

but with this new Shiny Tar I'm wondering if I should start picking that and maybe choose a different ceiling trap? Wondering what are the general thoughts from you guys.

Thanks

There's nothing quite like the tar trap, so I wouldn't want to replace it with a trap I already have, except it gets placed in the ceiling.

Yes,with shiny tar,you can earn coins with only two floor traps.First is the shiny tar the another is oneshot trap

I tried it yesterday, the enemies still have the 'walking in tar' animation and they appear to be slowed tho I'm not sure if it's just visual. Need to test it further. I've not noticed any weakening of my killbox. I've replaced my ceiling trap with Shiny Tar and so far have no regrets.

It seems like they're still slowed so its an upside that lets you pick a new ceiling trap, right? Seems good to me.

If Shiny Tar still slows like normal tar, this is very useful information. Since the description says it "replaces", I assumed the shiny effect replaced the slow. Still begs the question, why does this thread sell all placed tar?

Are you suggesting that this thread is exclusive to the others for Tar, if so then that is quite relevant, it is also currently not mentioned on the wiki.

Idk what they meant, but it is not mutually exclusive. The wiki is made with info from game files and some from the devs too, it is the best source of truth.

Personally I cant bear to pull myself way from the molten gold vents (Same with flip traps tbh) while there may be better options available I just like the way it all works and it fits a niche in my big 5 traps that I'm very reluctant to swap out.

i tried the tar and while personally it did feel better for generating gold when i got the thread, I think I like the damage that molten gold provides over the tar existing purely for support. i dunno which is better but that's my take on things
