DannyUK 308 Posted May 3, 2019 What are the point of the crabs exactly? I've seen them and thought they were for carrying more weight until I seen it is no different from an elephant or something like that. I have no use for a crab unless they increase the weight dramatically. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gnihar 111 Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) If you are a PVE player, you can skip them easily. If you are a PVP player, they pick up npc from your automated defenses, have shit ton of HP and damage resistance. Can be used as moving catapults to launch suicide bombers and commandos inside enemy base past the walls and fortifications. Can jump hundreds of meters high and past your walls easily or into safety to heal. They can do that while holding cannon bears in their claws as well. The only counters that somewhat work are lots of tigers (relative DoT), catapults and baliistae and of course crabs of your own.

Wonder how they work on golden age islands and if they'd be a good replacement for HP soaking eles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MasterFiren 24 Posted May 3, 2019 @gnihar No, you can't tame a crab with rotten meat. Also if the crab is overwaight, jumping still works. So if you overload yourself to infinity you can still get back fast to your base. But i think this will be fixed. Maby... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Puppies4ever 856 Posted May 3, 2019 Crab is great for treasure maps. She can reach every place and has great dmg. She is very good utility for farming as well + so funny when you throw people around 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never even been into the underwater trench yet so I wouldn't know how to tame them anyway. I joined your Discord the other day to see what you had available, might have to pop over sometime although I'm way over in M5 so would take awhile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Polar Express 74 Posted May 4, 2019 Crabs are OP, nerf the shit outta them. The jump thing and the fact they sink anchored ship easily makes them every arseholes best freind in raiding small companies who have no chance to tame them. I just saw Handsome Stalins vod from their raid. That was some bullshit op crap imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Throwing lions at your enemies xD Quote Whats the best way to tame them if you don't have a sub? You can lure them into your ship and tame then in the deck, you will need to do this to bola them.
