Sea Lily

Sea Lilies, or Crinoids, are ocean builds who are echinoderms. They are well known for surviving lots of mass extinctions due to loyal players. This build stands the test of time for afk farming in almost any ocean server.

## Overview

Crinoids has one of the worst stats for the current meta with no stealth or intelligence, and pouring very little into the rest of the stats. The most OG players made an A.I. to filter feed/farm exp out of the water. And gave it basic reactions if anything goes wrong. The A.I. took a long time too make, especially when their relatives the urchin player base found a way to bypass their inedible parts to gain the little exp they carried. It also didn't help that many extinction events happened.

## Abilities and Skills

Crinoids out of years of farming were able to purchase pretty cool abilities to perfect their farming and survival.

### Filter Feathers

This ability allows the Sea Lily to gain exp from plankton and organic debris. This is very useful especially in the Abyss where the only reliable source of exp (that is not hydro-thermal vents) is sea snow.

### Inedible Parts

Sea Lilies are covered in inedible parts that a majority of the player base can't digest. This ability prevents most builds to target them.

#### Spines

Out of those inedible parts form spines. These spines make it even more difficult for consumption.

### Mucus

If the low exp, spines, and inedible parts weren't enough. Sea Lilies are covered in a toxic mucus that can kill fish and other organisms.

### Pressure Resistance

Sea Lilies gain the ability to resist the passive pressure debuff in the Abyss server.

### Roots and Stem

The roots and stem allow the sea lily to resist the current and stay in great exp farming spots.

#### Detach

The Crinoid can detach itself from the root or stem.This gives the sea lily to crawl away. Pretty slow, but faster than their main predator Sea Urchins.

### Detect

Crinoids do not have eyes. So instead they poured lots of points into their nervous system.This allows them to sense light, and movement. This allows them to detech predators or food.

## Weaknesses

Sea Lilies abilities allow them to be left alone by a large chunk of the player. But like all builds it has a weakness.

### Terrible Stats

If a build can bypass the horrid abilites, they can easily take out this weak build with ease. Atlest the sea lily makes it up with very little exp.

### Urchins

This build since has been in an arms race with the urchin player base. Urchins has the abilities needed to digest the sea lily properly, but the sea lily right down can detech and out speed the urchin currently.

## Tier Placement

### General

In almost every server, Crinoids place in B tier. They have rediculously good abilites, and are left alone by a majority of the player base. However some fish and urchins can consume it with no issues, but they are not plentaful enough and have to little exp to be a reliable exp source.

### Abyss

But in the Abyss server the Sea Lily shines, I mean glow.  A majority of the player base focus on being able to catch a wide varity of prey to make most of the little encounter rate their is. So nothing (except for the deep sea urchin) can really counter them effectively. And since sea lilies currently have a slight advantage over the urchin, this give the Crinoids the rank of low S tier currently.
