Cladoselache

Cladoselachewas a banned Late Devonian Shark build. It roamed the ocean servers of present-day North America and was the first recognizable Shark build. Unusually for many Shark builds, it did not specc into claspers.

## Overview

This build does not have much in terms of Health. It is specialized in high Mobility and has a spine to make up for its lack of scales for Defense.Instead of dealing damage or ripping through flesh, its teeth were useful only to secure a powerful grab only a few can break from. This gave it less power than playable Shark builds.

## Moveset

**Electroreception (Passive, Utility)**- Movement shown on minimap.

**Streamlining(Passive, Mobility)**- Increases Mobility by 80%.

## Tier Placement

B-tier. This build was rather decent for its time, speccing into a spine for protection and being one of the first good Rushdown builds in the meta. However, it is not high-tier due to the threat of builds like the OP Dunkleosteus.

Cormorant

Cormorants and shags are Bird builds that swim underwater to grief Fish players. They belong to the guild Phalacrocoracidae, which is in turn, a part of the greater Pelecaniformes guild. These builds are known for their remarkable diving abilities and are closely related to darters, gannets, boobies and pelicans.

## Overview

This build has a considerable Intelligence stat. Their pseudoteeth also gives them a good Power stat. Their short wing length means that they do not have much Mobility. Lastly, they have low Health, as the heaviest one can only reach up to 7 pounds.

## Moveset

**Flight (Active, Mobility)**- Allows the user to fly.

**Dive Snipe (Active, Mobility)**- Dives off from a high place and homes in on the nearest target.

**Fish Breath (Active, Debuff)**- Emits a AOE projectile Resolve-lowering cloud at a predator.

## Tier Placement

Mid C-tier. The idea of a cliff-diving bird used to snipe fish would work, right? Unfortunately, they have trouble getting off the ground,as their EXP cost to fly would make Hummingbirds better at conserving EXP for comparision. Additionally, they still have a good amount of bad matchups, which they cannot flee from, due to the poor flight as shown above. If not for the vomit and their domestication by Human mains, they would have been even lower.

Beaked Whale

Beaked Whales (Ziphiidae)are one of the least known marine mammals due to playing in The Abyss server and their scarce playerbase. These builds include the deepest diving marine mammal build, the Cuvier's beaked whale.

## Overview

This does does not have as much Intelligence as other Whales due to not being as social. This build also has relatively low Mobility. While they have a decent Health stat, it is not the highest. Their teeth are also only good for bodying builds below their weight class, therefore having a low Power stat. To reliefe these disadvantages, it had to minmax for Stealth.

## Moveset

**Anaerobic Respiration (Passive, Utility)**- Allows the player to dive longer and adds a second stamina bar.

**Echolocation (Active, Utilty)**- Allows the user to detect another player in front of them.

**Scatter Dive (Active, Team Play)**- Dives in a group, then splits up to surface.

## Tier Placement

Probably B-tier. Not much is known about this build. However, it can dive the deepest among other marine mammal mains due to speccing into the [Anaerobic Respiration] ability. It is not as good as other cetaceans due to their lower stat spread. Their [Echolocation] ability also makes them detectable by Orca mains. As a result, these builds have to minmax for Stealth and ascend far from the diving spot to avoid Orca mains. Despite these, it is one of the best minmaxed builds in the game due to its lack of bad matchups.

## Summary

### Pros:

* High Stealth
* Above-average Health.
* Can dive really deep.
* Has anti-stealth abilities.
* Can be unpredictable in diving and surfacing.
* Only bad matchups are top-tiers.

### Cons:

* Lacking in other stats.
* Can easily be defeated if intercepted.
* Teeth are only good for Fish and cephalopod players.

Carnotorus

A dinosaur build that was s tier at it's time and server but was b- tier compared to other builds

### Abilities

Horns - Gives an intimidation bonus

Strong bite - While not having the strongest bite it's bite pound for pound, it was stronger than T-rex

### Overview

A great build with decent stats and great abilities that only needed a larger size to be top tier
Chapter 8

The chapter was named *Umm I'm the Champion of Fate and Death?*

## Summary

Luna Lovegood was confusing and Alexandra Black was indomitable.

## Plot

Two months into Ginny's occlumency training Harry decided to finally contact Luna Lovegood as well as Alexandra Black. Both used to be extremely competent in the second time line and would have been a huge asset towards the Gray section in the political field. The plan to gain Luna's trust was to prevent her mother's, Pandora Lovegood's, death. But instead it was Luna who contacted Harry first and agreed to be his friend. Harry first tried to make something out of Luna's imaginary friends and then scrapped the idea completely.

Following he checked Luna's very good Occlumency shields and started to learn wandless magic with her. He also revealed himself as Harry Potter to the completely unfazed Luna. During one of their training sessions Xenophilius Lovegood made himself known, asked for Harry's intention towards his daughter and then started the talk about a betrothal contact between the shocked Harry and calm Luna. After some talk both parties agreed to it and Luna became the official consort of Lord Slytherin.

Any plans to contact Alex on the other hand had to be put on hold, since the heiress was living in the heavily warded 12th Grimmauld Place. Her father was additionally completely into the Light side of politics, making it even harder to have any kind of contact with the young girl. But he still managed to find her after she failed trying to buy a book at Flourish and Blotts. He bought the book himself afterwards and gave it to Alex, alongside an aging potion as well as an invitation to a part Lord Slytherin held at Greengrass Manor, as a present, before disapparating in front of her.

To the mentioned party Alex came clothed with a black mask, similar to Lord Slytherin's, and named "Incognito", but still in her child form. After some small talk Harry, as Lord Slytherin, revealed Alex that he is intrigued with her and next gave her the opportunity to meet Harry, the unknown twin brother of John Potter, who Lord Slytherin "trained" himself. She was skeptical first, since she considered the Potter's pathetic in general, but allowed a meeting between the two of them to take place, upon being told, that Harry will go to the Slytherin house. Next he told her that Harry would train her and Alex didn't like it, because she would have rather been trained by Lord Slytherin himself.

At their first meeting with Harry in child form, Alex was surprised that he looked exactly like John, and due to that was still very suspicious of everything. Even when he showed off with his wand-less magic, Alex was not impressed and would have rather wanted to learn "real" magic, than simple parlor tricks. She revealed to him that she did some rituals already, making her physically stronger and both agreed to a book exchange friendship instead, since Harry didn't know how to persuade her to work alongside him prior to Hogwarts.

In the mean time Harry set up emergency bolt holes with Daphne all alongside Europe in case things went wrong.
Boettger's Caecilian

Caecilians are one of the most underrated builds in the game, and one of the most elusive builds in the game. They're rarely encountered by most of the player base. Boettger's Caecilian is one of the few builds we know enough information about to rank its viability.

## Overview

Boettger's Caecilian cranked its stealth stat to the max, this is because of its dark coloring, underground life style, and causing little disturbance as it moves around. It has a great defense stat for an amphibian. With thick skin, slimy covering, and poison that can stop the heart of small animals, this build is not worth the hassle for a small amount of exp. It has decent power, used to catch worms and insects, but it may kill the occasional frog, small mammal, and small snake. It also helps it move around in the dirt, as its strong muscles move it around like a piston. This form of movement is slow, but it cost less energy to move and allows the build to stealthily approach its target.

## Abilities and Skills

### Dig

Unlike most amphibians, this build specked into digging. By pouring points into strong muscles and a thick skull.

### Sharp Teeth

This build has a lot on needle like teeth, this is needed to grab a hold on its prey.

### Poison

This build spent points into poison. The poison is strong enough to kill small animals, as is damages the red blood cells.

### Slime

This build is covered in a thick covering of slime. It allows this build to easily slip out of grab attempts and travel through dirt more easily.

### Tentacles

Quite odd, but this amphibians has two small tentacles between the nostrils used to sense chemicals, mainly food, and navigation.

### Vibration Organ

Located in the head Caecilians have an organ that is used to sense vibrations. This useful in finding mates, prey, or predators.

### Subterranean Eggs

Unlike most amphibians can lay their eggs underground. The dirt has to be moist to develop properly.

### Parental Guard

Instead of increasing intimidation and power, it instead increases the defense and stamina. This is need to guard the eggs/young and increases the chance of hatching.

## Tier Placement

This is one of the best amphibians in the game. It has a resource that is almost always abundant (underground invertebrates), a defense that other subterranean build can't handle, and being able to take down some larger builds like snakes and frogs. These guys are very viable in the current meta as they rarely encounter any threats or competition from other builds. This build sits nicely in S tier.
Betta Fish

This page is still under construction.

Unofficial image

### Relatives

B. imbellis, b. smaragdina, Dwarf gourami, Honey gourami, and several other bony labyrinth fishes

## Tier Placement

The betta build is an aquatic gourami build that is popular among Human mains as a support class. For a fish build, they have a very high INT stat, which has allowed Bettas to learn patterns, recognize their Human party members, and show strong parental care for low-level Betta mains. Unfortunately, in its home server, it suffers from the Overfishing and Pollution debuffs and the majority of the playerbase leave the server. In the Asia server, it is a D tier build, but as a support class, the Betta is a solid B+ tier build.

## Abilities

### Other Abilities

* Swimming Beauty
* Labyrinth Organ
* Bubble Nest
* Intimidate

TierZoos videos

## History

The betta was bred as a fighting fish and human players thought that was abuse so they made it now a support class like cats and dogs.

## Tier Placement

The betta build is an F Tier in the wild and B Tier in the support playstyle.
Crab

**Crabs** stick pretty close to the basic Crustacean build, maintaining high defensive stats with relatively low mobility. The crab's armor is great at blocking most attacks, although armor-piercing abilities are fairly prevalent in the reef meta. It's cert

ainly not a foolproof strategy. The crab's claws, while not as powerful as the Lobster's, are still great at crushing and grabbing other players.

### ABILITIES

First of all, due to the Crab being an Arthropod, it's naturally very bulky. However, it also forgoes spiracles to invest in gills, thus allowing it to grow to monstrous proportions (at least for an Arthropod). In addition, it also has specced in powerful claws, both crushers for armored foes & slicers for softer foes.

#### CARCINIZATION

It is believed that other crustaceans keep on speccing into crablike traits because its shape allows for both greater ground mobility and because it boosts their evasion.

### PLAYSTYLE

As a Crab, you should not try to spec into becoming a pursuit predator, as your mobility is mediocre at best. Instead, you have to scavenge, as well as only hunt slower prey like Barnacles, Clams, Snails, & if you invest your Evolution Points just right, even other Crustaceans. For self defense, unless you invest an impractical amount of Evolution Points into Mobility, your only real option is to engage in PVP (which it is good at due to its high Power & Defense), as it lacks a tail that allows for short bursts of movement. However, they are able to move relatively quickly on land.
Bony Plating

Bony Plating is a Defense Ability used by Placoderms and some Ostracoderms. While they can be used for blocking hits, they also have a secret function available.

## Effect

The most obvious effect of this ability is for Defense, being able to negate critical hits. However, it can also be used to increase your EXP and Stamina stores.This perk, however, came at the cost of reducing Mobility, which eventually contributed to the complete ban of the jawed class which specced into this ability, the Placoderms.

Chinlea

Chinlea was a banned Coelacanth build. This build was playable in Arizona and New Mexico in present-day United States. Unlike modern Coelacanth mains, which are playable in Caves in marine servers, this build was playable in freshwater servers. Thus, it shared the servers with builds like Metoposaurus, a Temnospondyl who primarily bodies Fish mains, and Rutiodon, a Phytosaur which usually plays similar to a False Gharial and is a generalist.

## Chinlea

None of the pictures of this build on the internet can make it look scary, so here is a chubby Salmon Coelacanth build instead.

## Overview

This build had a decent amount of Health. Its teeth however, are the bet thing about this build, giving it a high Power stat. It also has decent Defense stat due to the robustness of its scales. Lastly, it was much more mobile than other Coelacanth mains, rivalled only by the Rebellatrix build.

## Moveset

**Streamlining (Passive, Mobility)**- Increases Mobility by 80%.

**Deadly Teeth (Passive, Attack)**-Increases Power by 80% and creates a Resolve debuff to smaller players in its range.

## Tier Placement

A-tier, compared to B-tier for the playable current-meta Coelacanth. While usually a formidable build on its own, it had to watch out for builds the aformentioned builds stated above, Metoposaurus and Rutiodon.

Bullfrog

The bullfrog runs a average frog build but with improved stat. They don't have any abilities that other frogs don't but there stats give them a spot in A tier far better then most frogs. Unlike most frogs they have very good match ups to fish,birds,insects and even snakes! They had started to take over pond servers they don't really spawn in. That is the mark of a high tier. But like most frogs when they are tadpoles they are really vulnerable and get bodied by everyone. But when they are adults they become kinda op. The thing holding it back from S tier is that they didn't specked into poison as well.

### Apua Regeneration

This ability allows to regenerate stamina quickly while in the water.

### Prehensile tongue

The frog can carry loot with its tongue and can catch prey with it with not even moving.
Asian Long-horned Beetle

Asian long-horned beetles are insect builds usually found in Asia, but have spread to other parts of the world. They are infamous for causing the mass death of maple trees.

## Overview

The Asian long-horned beetle's stats are terrible compared to the other light-weight builds in the game, the only good stat is mobility and stealth, which help it evade most predators. But those don't matter, because they have short lifespans and lives in trees for most of their life, which mainly shields them from pvp. This build's main diet are certain trees including birch, maple, chestnut, and other trees. A majority of their play-time is in trees, as they are larvae and consume the tissue of the tree. When fully grown, they leave the tree and reproduce with other players. They later lay their eggs in a tree starting the process all over again.

## Abilities and Skills

### Wood Burrow

This build can burrow and consume wood. This is needed for the larvae to gain exp and travel inside the wood of trees.

### Flight

Like most beetles, this build spent points into the [Flight] ability. Allowing it to fly in the air, which increases the mobility stat.

## Tier Placement

This build is not that good compared to other tree burrowing insects, like the Palm Weevil who have better stats and more stamina than this build. This build have good mobility, fast respawn rate, and stealth, which helps evade predators and populate quickly, but its little bulk and power makes it an easy kill for most builds. The reason why they have a good match-up with trees is because those trees never had any major tree burrowing insects like the Asian Long-Horned Beetle, before. And in the Asian server they aren't that major of a threat. The only line of defense these builds have is hiding in the wood of trees as larvae, but that doesn't stop builds from breaching the wood and consume them, like carpenter ants and other beetles. And the Asian Long Beetle player base in America is pretty much dead at this point. At best this build gets a mid C.

Carcharodontosaurus

**Carcharodontosaurus** is one of the many predatory dinosaurs in the African server. It was the dominant build in its server. It was a large carnivore that could've gotten up to 12.14 meters long and 7.4 tons, possibly 9 tons for the neotype specimen.

## Overview

The Carcharodontosaurus playstyle did not focus on bone crushing and hunting smaller, more well-armored prey. Carcharodontosaurus had extremely sharp, relatively thin, blade-like teeth that would allow them to rip flesh off of the mighty sauropods, such as one of it's contemporaries, Paralititan.

## Abilities and Skills

### Serrated Teeth

Carcharodontosaurus used its serrated teeth to cause the {Heavy Bleed} debuff. This makes it so that if any prey does escape its grasp, it would most likely die to bleed, or cripple it so this build could catch up with it.

### Claws

Because Carcharodontosaurus did not not speck so much into having a broad, wide skull, it's arms could be a bit larger without the worry of being too front heavy to stand. However, these arms were still proportionally tiny and the claws were poor slashing weapons, they would be better using for holding prey and then biting it with it's massive jaws.

## Tier Placement

Overall Carcharodontosaurus is a great build, its has the bulk to tank serious hits, and the power to eliminate most builds, and if the power doesn't kill them then the bleed status affect probably will. With those stats and abilities Carcharodontosaurus could take down other builds in its region. However it had some bad match-ups, larger sauropods could've easily smacked it around if it wasn't careful and other Carcharodontosaurus would've been fighting for territory and mates. However, it was a apex predator, and it didn't compete with Bahariasaurus for food and it could easily demolish in a fight if it needed to protect itself. With the only carnivore build that could demolish it was Spinosaurus thought only it size and steel claws were it advantages This earned it mid B-tier
Barbels

Barbels are a Utility ability by Carps, Catfish and Sturgeon and many other botton feeding builds. The name is derived from the Middle Latin "barba" which means little beard.

## Barbels

### Used By

Carp, Catfish, Sturgeon and many other fish builds.

## Uses

### Primary

The main fuction of this ability is to make the already powerful anti-stealth [Olfaction] really powerful. This function is common to all builds with this ability.

### Secondary

Aside from better [Olfaction] Catfish can use another trick up their sleeve. Taste is normally just as diffucult to mask as smell. However, it requires contact with another player, which can easily blow off your Stealth mask. That is, unless you could have a disjointed hitbox. The Catfish use these "disjointed hitboxes" to remove Stealth from many builds.

### Unique:Frogmouth Catfish

Aside from creating anti-Stealth disjointed hitboxes, and augmenting [Olfaction], the Frogmouth Catfish also augments their [Loot Lure] ability with this and uses it to body a potential fish player which cannot spot it, due to its great Stealth

Discharge

A shocking attack.

**[Discharge]** is an attack skill usable by the a few marine Builds. It is notably the only offensive electrical attack in the game.

## Effect

Discharge inflicts moderate amounts of AoE electrical damage which is weaker against bigger builds. It deals massive damage against fish but little on bigger creatures.

If Discharge lands a critical hit, it may inflict the **[Cardiac Arrest]** debuff, which will kill the targeted build as a bit of time passes. This works regardless of size as long as the attack deals damage.

This attack has no counters outside of trying to tank or escape it and hoping it doesn't score a critical hit.

## Users

* Electric Eels
* Rays

* Electric Catfish

NOTE: do not confuse Discharge, an attack, with **[Electroreception]**, a utility-based ability.

Dimorphodon

Dimorphodon (two measures of teeth) is a banned long-tailed Pterosaur build. This build lived in the European server during the Early Jurassic. It was drawn in fanfiction as resembling Puffin mains. Its hallmark feature is that it has two types of teeth like mammals.

## Overview

This build has poor Intelligence and health but good defense, especially for its skull with sturdy beaks. While its flying capabilities are quite terrible due to its short wingspan, its climbing abilities offset that disadvantage. It also has a diamond-shaped flap at the end of its tail, most likely to stabilise flight but it could indicate that the build soars, rather than fly.  Lastly, its teeth are quite powerful for its size. Pair that with its dive attack, it would have a powerful offense.

## Moveset

**Glide (Active, Mobility)**- Allows the build to slow down fall speed or take advantage of wind physics.

## Tier Placement

High C-tier. This Pterosaur build can easily kill its targets thanks to its high power. Additionally, it could glide, increasing its Mobility in addition to climbing. However, its low Health and Defense means it might have a bad matchup against potential predators, and gliding is easier to counter than flying.

Cactus

## Cacti

spiky spiny spike

Cacti are a group of plant mains that decied to go for the hardcore biome (sandy deserts) They have many abilities that help them survive the extreme conditions as will be listed.

## Abilities

### Spines

Cacti have spines. These spines warn animal players that they are dangerous and should probably avoid consuming cacti. This ability also helps preserve water, a crucial thing in sandy desert biomes.

### Wide Roots

Unlike most other plant builds in the sandy desert, cacti opt for wide roots instead of deep roots which can be very effective at times.

## Tier Placement

These guys probably belong in B tier as they have a losing matchup against camels and humans and since rainfall is getting less and less common, cacti have had to retreat many servers in favour of servers with more rainfall which could severley damage ecosystems.
Agave

The agave is a succulent build similar to the Cactus, playable in Mexico and the Carribean servers. This build is known to be widely cultivated by Human mains and is known for being a crafting ingredient to [Tequila] beverage item (only Blue Agave). It is the sugar-rich cores that are harvested from this build to serve as the crafting ingredient.

## Agave

A giant Agave player next to a Human main.

## Overview

Being a Plant build, this main had no need for Mobility, Intelligence or Stealth at all. In this case, it also had no Power. But it does have a decent Defense with the spines. It as a good Health stat from two sources, its relatively large size and its high toughness for a plant main its size.Agave can be made into a wide array of products like biodegradeable plastic bags, syrups, bio-fuels and fertilisers. Blue Agave is a distinct agave build that is used for Tequila.

## Moveset

**Plant Spine (Passive, Defense)**-Provides a good amount of Defense and lowers water drain.

**Wide Roots (Passive, Utility)**- Allows better absorption of water spawns.

**CAM Photosynthesis (Passive, Support)**-No penalty for high temperature in photosynthesis.

## Tier Placement

C-tier. This build is a viable succulent build which can be farmed by Human mains. However, it still suffers from bad matchups.

Barramundi

The barramundi or Asian sea bass is a build from the perch guild. This build is surprisingly large, it can grow up to 1.8 meters and weigh up to 60 kg.This build is one of the few euryhaline builds available and is pretty tanky for a build often viewed as being spawnkilled by Human mains.

## Overview

Baramundi has high power, which it uses to help it suck its prey. Like their cousins the Nile Perch, this build is very bulky. This build usally targets smaller fish builds, and crustaceans.

## Abilities and Skills

### Adaptive Gills

This build can adapt to the water its in. Allowing it to inhabit to Fresh, Brackish, and Saltwater.

### Hermaphrodite

This build is a hermaphrodite, able to turn from a male, too a female after a spawning season has ended.

## Weaknesses

### Temperture

This build can only handle waters around 26-30 C, which is quite small for a fish build that can adapt between water.

## Tier Placement

B-tier. They have the decent [Speed Burst] ability. These builds have a good suction attacks, which also gives it a good matchup against invasive Tilapia. Despite their good stats and abilities, their solitary behaviormeans that they are easily bodied by Pelicans, Snakes, Crocodiles and Herons, the same builds that schooling Nile Perch mains could easily avoid.

Black Mamba

## Overview

Black Mambas are members of snakes that are related to Cobras, the highest ranked snake in the current meta. Like their relatives, they have an ability called Neurotoxic Venom, which immobilises the target rather quickly. This snake, however, is especially deadly, as, if untreated, their bite can guarantee to game end you in about 20 minutes. It also has the highest Mobility stat of all snakes, being the fastest striker of the venomous snakes and even one of the quickest when travelling on land. Their venom has the highest DPS potential of any venomous snakes. It is also very aggressive, going for repeated bites.

## Abilities

### Neurotoxic Venom

Incurs the paralysis effect on the target after a few minutes

## Tier Placement

A Tier. Probably the same ranking as Vipers. Their game end rate is second to none, and Humans are the only build with the cure. However, they get bodied hard by snake eaters like the Mongoose and Secretary Bird. They are not as versatile as Cobras though so predators do not have to breach through any other obstacles than the venom and quick speed. When compared to other snakes, Black Mamba ranked in S tier.

Why reinvent the wheel when you haven't perfected it?
Deinocheirus

## Profile

Deinocheirus was a clawed, omnivorous dinosaur build introduced in the Cretaceous expansion with a relatively short temporal range in the game -only lasting around 2 million years.

## Base Stats

They had a great **Power** stat while boasting a huge base HP. This was faced with setbacks like a low Stealth level due to their set of palettes. They were more relatively intelligent than many other dinosaur builds. Somewhat decent mobility and that would be vital to flee from stronger carnivore mains. They had an average type moveset which meant that they had nothing much special or niche. They would then have to develop strategies and master the moves in order to counteract their weaknesses.

## Gameplay and Abilities

Their combat playstyle was **[Spacing]** and they are were omnivorous as they can both forage for any fruitful plant XP source or hunt down fishes. Their long reaching arms helped them obtain loot than other mains could not in the Arboreal biome. They traveled in herds but they do not possess much social skills. Deinocheirus mains used their elongated arms for better catching rate of fishes. They searched for a partner and initiated their display. Then, female player would unlock the **[Incubate]** ability. Similarly to other dinosaurs, they have to go through a defense stage to keep the newborns alive. They also had feathers to speed up the Incubation time. Their claws were effective in taking down carnivore mains that aren't OP. Their nemesis was the Tarbosaurus as they featured very prominently to prey on Deinocheirus.
Archerfish

The **Archerfish** is a Fish build that uses the Perciformes template. Debuting in the Paleocene expansion, it's famous for using **[Water Gun]** in PvP.

## Overview

The Archerfish build is a small, omnivorous hunter. Its stats may seem drab at a glance, but their unusual investment into Intelligence is key to their success. At low levels, players can learn how to hunt from each other with little practice. High Intelligence also grants the build several perception and problem-solving perks, all for the sake of perfecting **[Water Gun]**.

Their most impressive skill is **[Ballistics Calculator]**: not only is the build able to consider trajectory, light refraction, draw strength and other attributes to customize its attack, it's shot in such a way that the stream of water clumps into hard-hitting globs right before the stream hits the target. They also use their Evolution Points toward **[Keen Eye]**, letting them track prey both above the water and hiding in silt.

They often use **[Water Gun]** against Insect builds resting on branches. While the attack has low DPS, it possesses enough knockback to force insects into the water, where they're helpless.

If an Archerfish player is caught, they will quickly swim away from the threat.

## Skills and Abilities

### Water Gun

User can spit water at targets. A rare move, the Archerfish build is one of the only ones to use this as an attack.

### Contractable Gills

Allows the user to breathe underwater while motionless. This Ability is commonplace in the Fish faction, but the Archerfish build also uses gill contractions to propel water from its mouth.

### Ballistics Calculator

Significantly increases range and accuracy of projectile moves.

### Jump

Can jump out of the water to catch low-hanging prey.

## Tier Placement

The Archerfish is considered a C-tier build. It certainly has a unique niche in hunting insects and small crustaceans, and it can often resort to herbivory if live prey aren't in stock. In addition, earning how to hunt at a relatively early stage in their lives significantly reduces the learning curve on using **[Water Gun]** offensively.

Despite all of these qualities, the Archerfish build has a fatal flaw. Using **[Water Gun]** often requires them to approach the surface of the water, and with poor defensive stats, it can often get bodied by threats from above and below. While the move has some utility underwater by creating jets, it's not terribly impressive compared to other bottom-feeding builds.

### Pros

* [Water Gun]
* High accuracy on attacks
* Decent Mobility for its archetype
* Omnivorous

### Cons

* Attacking at the water's edge leaves it vulnerable
* Poor perception against stealth-based strategies
* Poor damaging options
* Low bulk
Brown Trout

The Brown Trout (*Salmo trutta*) is a build that can have several playstyles depending on the subbuild. It includes freshwater-only builds, as well as anadromous, euryhaline builds. They have been introduced in other servers such as North America and Australia. Along with the Rainbow Trout, it has been nominated as one of the "100 of the World's Worst Invasive Species".

## Overview

This build has rather decent weight for a salmonoid build, clocking in at 45 lbs, although this isn't saying much. Due to the decent size that this build can grow to, it can eat more high-reward EXP like Rodents and even Mink noobs. Just like other Salmonoids, they have good Mobility.

## Moveset

**Adaptable Gills (Passive, Utility)**- Allows switching between freshwater and marine servers without any penalty.

**Streamlining (Passive, Mobility)**- Increases Mobility by a large amount.

**Heat Resistance (Passive, Support)**- Allows a build to survive longer under high temperatures.

## Tier Placement

At first glance, this build may look like your below-average salmonoid. However, they are more adaptive in their diets, and this inludes more rewarding loot. They are also more capable of surviving high temperatures and pollution. Thus, these builds can even outperform the more gimmicky Rainbow Trout in causing powercreep. This lands them a spot in the "100 of the World's Worst Invasive Alien Species" and a spot in C-tier.

Blue Shark

The blue shark is a requiem shark build available in temperate ocean servers worldwide. This build migrates long distances, from New England to South America. These builds have blue-colored skin with long pectoral fins.

## Overview

The build is known to be a pack hunter, with somewhat high Intelligence. Its Power stat is also surprisingly high. It also has decent Mobility. At 391 kg max, they also have the Health required to shrug off most hits. Its metal-blue coloration gives it a powerful Stealth boost.

## Moveset

**Surfing Fins (Passive, Mobility)**- Swimming consumes 25% less Stamina.

**Filter (Active, Attack)**- Allows looting of microweight builds.

**Electroreception (Passive, Utility)**- Motion shown on minimap.

**Bloodsense (Passive, Utilty)**- Builds with less than 90% HP lose all Stealth bonuses.

**Serrated Teeth (Passive, Attack)**- Inflicts the [Heavy Bleed] debuff.

## Tier Placement

A-tier. Surprisingly, for a build considered the most griefed by Human mains, although it does not really matter considering many S-tiers are also endangered anyways. It is a really viable build if you are playing in the open ocean. However, it is still bodied by Mako Sharks, Great White Sharks, Orcas, and mid game players can be taken out be Sea Lions.

## Summary

### Pros:

* Mostly well-rounded stat spread.
* Can hunt in packs
* Decent countershading provides a great Stealth boost.
* Can filter feed and body players like a typical DPS
* Can travel over long distances with little Stamina drain.

### Cons:

* Below- average Defense.
* Can be bodied by Great White Sharks, Mako Sharks, Orcas, and Sea Lions.
* Is a heavily fished build.

Atlantic Puffin

The Atlantic puffin is a bird build that plays in The Atlantic Ocean server known for their unique coloration.

## Overview

The Atlantic puffin has a high mobility stat because they can fly and swim underwater. They are also highly intelligent as they have been reported using tools. Their power is decent and their defense is low like most other birds that can fly. Lastly their stealth is low due to their coloration. They mainly have a diet of fish and squids and they live in large groups giving them safety in numbers.

## Abilities

### Serrated Bill

Puffins have a serrated bill allowing them to grip fish firmly as if not they could flop out.

### Waterproof Feathers

Puffins have waterproof feathers allowing them to properly swim in open waters, it can also help them stay warm if they go out into the ocean.

### Streamline Body

Puffins have a streamline body to give them extra mobility underwater.

## Tier Placement

The Atlantic puffin gets a B tier. Overall they are good with high intelligence and a very good matchup with fish. However they face problems with other seabirds, eagles, foxes, and humans. In fact humans eat puffin eggs many times and the Climate Change DLC have been relocating fish populations. They may fall down tiers but they are in B tier for now

###
Black Bear

## Overview and Tier Placement

Your typical black bear main weighs around 150-250 kg, although some players in California decide to stay at around 58-86 kg. Compared to humans, they haven't put as many skill points into the intelligence stat, but instead have opted for better eyesight and sense of hearing than human players. They are one of the very few classes in the game who have opted to swim, run and climb quickly. Some players have even been observed to swim for fun.

    Black bear players can be active at any part of the day, giving them an advantage over strictly diurnal or nocturnal builds. They often camp in rivers when waiting for salmon players to travel to their spawning point. Black bear players have a bad matchup against Brown Bear and Cougar mains due to their bulk and the Cougar's Desert tooth but they can usually escape. This makes black bears worthy of S tier.
