What's with the new goobert meta?

[Furio]

I constantly see Gooberts these days. What's up with that? Is it really that good?

[Weitsicht]

guess it comes from early wodden sword+wetstone meta
as reaper if you get your hammer you need to get rid of the 2cond weapon cause of stamina
as ranger if you have bad rng and are behind to get hero longsword or twinblade
in both cases going for steel goobert isnt the worst option :)

Goobert is just very solid, no matter which evolution you opt for. Steel for a combination of scaling offense and increased defense, poison goobert supplying and cleansing poison, blood goobert dealing damage directly to health and healing for the same amount, and of course cheesing opponents with blind. All good in their own right.

It also helps that both Ranger and Reaper have a fairly simple evolution path for Goobert: a hero sword isn't hard to acquire early on, and Reaper only needs to find one fly agaric.

probably people trying to complete the rainbow goobert recipe, lol

idk why ppl call it "goopert" it should be called "goober" and idk why ppl ain't into it

Steel Goobert is pretty fricking broken. Combine it with a hammer or a bow and arrow + extra weapon and go to town with it. Get more than one bow and arrow? It's even more obscene. Don't even need rainbow goobert, just steel is good enough.

I wouldn't say it's broken, but it appears very strong. I've seen some bow builds with steel and it does hit very hard.

gooberts are basicly brain dead adds.
they require no setup other than what ever you already do.

bout steel goobert?
well he's just the base component for any weird shape weapon build ( pan, bow, wipe )
cause these weapons can trigger themselves.
for the utt most basic bow build you need 5 items:
- steel goobert, 2 bows, the arrow, a lucky piggy, 4 whatever items to fuel the arrow.
i usually transition from pan to bows, so my food fuels the arrow.
and my pan fills 1 corner of the goobert as long as i dont own a 2nd bow.

the only one that feels weird/weak is the shroom goobert, you just dont notice the additional poison.
