6.9/10 for creativity

So yeah something happened here.

……

Kuu, dio and katapult all got huge buffs but they were trash units in the first place. They didn’t end up being too good with UT either.

Anubis is the best investment for dark cateyes tbh

I don’t think lucifer ever was considered top 3 iirc, chronos ganesha and ammy were always solidly above

If your sniper is doing 7k dps against an enemy with over a million health, you might as well not bring them anyways. If we look in Uber banners snipers aren’t rarer than backliner attackers.

If you can only come up with 2 late game alien stages I suggest replaying UL.

All I can say is that if ama is considered an unpopular generalist choice to you aphro and Lucifer both gets zero general sniping.

Lucifer should have gotten target angel

Lucifer doesn’t have much stronger dps, his surge works horribly. If you do some mafs he only has consistent 7k dps in a really small range. If we also look at his LD we find that he barely pierces above standing range, so he needs that surge to hit backliners. In practice lucifer doesn’t have much higher dps, and you likely won’t be using either outside niche.

Lucifer’s design makes it so that he only works decently against two floating, mega mooth and othom. Even then his dps is not spectacular. Against aku the only thing going for him is surge immunity, and I would trade shield pierce for that any day. He has very lackluster dps for a specialist vs aku considering treasures for aku do not exist.

Meanwhile aphro has top tier anti alien performances. She works in pretty much any situation where there are aliens and destroys them. Being meh in general+very strong in niche>being a bit better than meh in general+meh in niche.

As for poseidon his burst damage is rng and his dps is actually not high. Ama delivers more consistent dps at a more sustainable distance(ama 14k vs poseidon 10k with talents). Chronos has amazing CC that can’t be outclassed unless you have mitama, and even then you use them together for more CC.

Hades between aphro and poseidon

Damn I knew I missed something

Among surge reflect enemies, most are traitless and aku, dasli’s advantage areas. For kappy sr and brainwashed tfs you want to bring amigo/cactus anyways. For otter, dasli disables kb, and otter also appears in traitless/aku stages. Even in the new ZL 10, dasli’s curse is highly helpful agianst new lemur. Baabaa itself is traitless, meaning you want dasli over phonoa against him regardless. Dasli does not do worse than phonoa vs surge reflect. Only situation I’d use phonoa over dasli in a surge reflect scenario is brainwashed island.

Behemoth stages are not some of the hardest in the game with egg and legend powercreep. In the harder ones like luza you don’t want phonoa there either. Fun fact only around 1/2 of behemoths are actually surge immune, and they are combined with surge vulnerable enemies in many stages. Among the surge immune enemies there aren’t many that are both relevant and that phonoa works against. Phonoa being bad vs traitless and LD enemies is a far greater weakness than dasli against surge immune and reflect. Dasli curse is also a far greater strength than phonoa’s range.

Ponos is not trying to make phonoa better than dasli lol, or they would have released aku and relic treasures by now. They also would be stuffing ZL with surge immune and making surge reflect way more punishing. They also would not be stuffing late-endgame with so many debuff enemies for dasli to curse.

Dkasli is so under appreciated tbh, everyone doomposting her when she’s going to remain the best Uber.

Counter surge is irrelevant, and zl meta actually shifted to dasli.

Amogus?

No unfortunately
