Common Sea Snake

## Sea Snake

The Sea Snake is medium sized snake build that debuted in Pliocene Era. This build is commonly used inThe Common Sea Snake is one of the most interesting snake builds. Unlike normal snake builds that invest a lot of skill points into stealth, most Sea Snake players tend to invest those points into intelligence. The usual prey tends to be small reef fish, small crustaceans, and Moray Eels. This build can eels due to the deadly poison that none of the eels are adapted to, and their slender body allows them to fit into the cracks and holes in rocks where the eels hide in. Their lack of stealth is made up for with the stealth of the attack. Very little pain can be felt by the fishes and the venom could kill without them even noticing.

### Strategy

Sea Snake mains tend to have a precise strategy to eliminate there targets. First, they free swim throughout the reefs, if there prey doesn't swim away. These players will quickly strike and eliminate there prey. However, if there prey hides within the reef, The Snake will pursue them until the target can no longer escape and then is quickly eliminated by the Snake. They can also hunt in teams and that could be attributed to the higher intelligence.

## Abilities and Skills

### Venom

Like most snakes, the Common Sea Snake spent points into deadly venom. With this venom, the Common Sea Snake abuses the fact that none of the Fish builds really spent points into Venom Resistance, so it can kill builds that would body it if it had no venom like Eels.

### Greater Breath

Like most sea reptile builds, the Common Sea Smake can hold its breath for a long time, which helps it makes time at the surface of the water less.

### Salt Resistance

Like most sea snakes, the Common Sea Snake had to spend points into salt resistance. This allows them to stay in the ocean for a long time.

## Weaknesses

### Lungs

Kind of obvious that lungs are a downside in the ocean server. It forces you to enter the most dangerous part of the server to refill the oxygen bar, the surface. Their you are vulnerable to attacks from larger and faster builds from above and below. And getting to the surface is also risky as stronger builds usually patrol this area.

### Large Hitbox and Low Health

Like almost all snakes they have a large hitbox and pretty bad hp stat. This is mainly made up for it with high stealth. But this build doesn't have a good stealth stat, and its in the ocean where attacks can come from all directions. So if this build is grabbed by any of the more powerful builds like sharks and larger fish, it will be an instant kill before the snake has anytime to react. That's why sea snakes hide in coral and rocks, but sooner or later they have to leave their hiding spot as they need to surface to breathe.

### Low Mobility on Land Servers.

With this snake build adapted purely for the Ocean server, they have next-to-no movement on land, similar to that of seals.

## Tier Placement

Their large hitbox, nd low hp gets them bodied by stronger builds like sharks, large fish, and larger eels and their need to surface to breath leaves them open from attacks from above like from Ospreys and other fishing birds. But the things that keep them up is their great intelligence for a reptile, potent venom, and their amazing match-up with small Moray Eels. Their venom delivery is very sneaky and hunting in teams does push it up further. They rank in S tier when compared to other snakes.

## Sea Snakes Buffed?

Sea snakes are buffed due to expanded ranges with warmer oceans. This means that the meta hasn't really suited to fighting sea snakes yet.
