Nile Perch

The Nile perch, also known as the African snook or Victoria perch, is a heavyweight build of freshwater fish found in the Nile River server as well as Lake Victoria, Lake Maryut and other African river basins. The Nile River server, despite being contained in the hardest land server in the game, is surprisingly easier than the Amazon River. It is related to the Barramundi.

## Tier Placement

A-tier. They have decent Mobility for a fish build and also used spines to protect themselves. and uses the schooling mechanism to protect themselves from the other high-tiers of the Nile River server such as Goliath Tigerfishand Crocodiles. They have broke the Lake Victoria server by bodying cichlid buildsand converting Fish players to absorbable loot in seconds in a process which takes the cichlids many hours to do so.

## Outside Hall Of Fame...

The Nile Perch is the star of the River Mosters episode "Rift Valley Killers", hosted by Fish beastmaster Jeremy Wade. Notorious for its weight class, the Hausa faction has given an alternate persona of this build, *giwan ruwa*, meaning "water elephant".

## And Shame.

Most of the Outside Hall of Shame focuses on the powercreep caused by this build. This build has forced many cichlid builds to quit.The documentary "Darwin's Nightmare" also cited that the spawnkilling of this build also continued PVP among Human mains in the African server. Smoking this build for valuable loot also makes Human mains body Tree players. All of which contributed to its inclusion in the list of "Top 100 Worst Powercreep Builds", ranking at 45th.The powercreep potential with this build is so powerful that the Australian server admins prohibited anyone from maining this build since this build competes directly with the Barramundi
