Whats the point of effigies?

[Ciaran Zagami]

Also are there any uses for paint?

Effigies are SUPPOSED to drive the enemies off, but I have seen a-lot of conflicting experiences posted, I personally ignore them. The red paint makes them quite likely to not attack you if you don't piss them off somehow, orange and blue paint can be used to colour some of your items, like the plane axe, rocks, etc.

Effigies are absolutely, entirely, useless.
They never drive off the cannibal's and are kind of recourse consuming to build.
Let them come and then burn them to get plenty of bones for bone armor.
Bone armor is basically essential to beat the game unless you have mastered the art of strafing and even then the main boss hits like a truck.

The last boss will going down like 8-10 power attacks. Think i lost 1/4 to 1/2 bone armor. Was on normal tho.

Hard mode with other players she is a beast lol. My first time i was not really prepared and went in with few others and we died Alot, it was pathetic lol. I didnt know they had upgraded at the time.

All that effigys SEEM to do is bait even more canibals to come. I got bored and set up 4 of them and I basically couldn't move more than 20 feet from my doorstep with out being mobed (and yes they were on fire)

Hey man if they bait more cannibal's then count me in.
More cannibal's = more target practice = more cannibals slain = more bone armor = invincible player.

[phoenix_death12]

More cannibals = more fun

Use those free explosives and dynamites that are in the forest and boss is easy even on hard

I use effigies purely as cosmetics. I've got an array of impaled heads around my base, and the cannibals seem not to get the message...

I prefer melee only. Shes not to tough anymore.

I remember when I used to do that. There was this save I used to have a lot of updates ago that was surrounded by effigies. I lit them all to see what it would look like and my game started lagging.

As I said, the topic is contentious

[eclipse]

I'm petty sure they attract not repel enemies.
Makes sense because they create their own all over the map. They worship some of them that are preloaded on the map.

Personally it would only seem right for them to spot yours as check it out then get. ----------- pis-s-ed off instead of scared.
