Would you rather fight 3 Terrorbeaks or 9 Crawling Horrors?

[Fill-Lips]

Crawling over terror, amount of crawlings will never matter, since them pushing each other is slow, terrorbeaks pushing terrorbeaks just guarantees a hit, even if you can dodge 99.99% of the time.

Unless you're a suped up WX with maggy and overcharged, which case who cares lmao.

do i need nightmere fuel? in that case 9 crawling xD

[SomebodyRandom]

In order to have an unbiased opinion, I conducted a test. I gave myself 3 spears and took on both challenges. For the Crawling Horrors, I took 6 hits and defeated them all. For the Terrorbeaks, I died before I could defeat a single one of them.

The answer is pretty clear.

Honestly it depends on ping. It’s impossible to fight terrorbeaks if my ping is bad, but I have no problem with crawlers on moon-leveled ping.

[mr. brj]

I just chose the answer that gives me more nightmare fuel.

why are you judging how others play? enemies in large numbers push each other. Maybe you need to play more(?)

I like terrorbeaks, I want to keep those alive, crawling horrors, I want to keep alive too, but I'd rather kill those

Ok If i was being on the more serious side, 3 terrorbeaks would be easier for me because even though they're fast and strong, their attack range is much more shorter than a crawling horror's

But nightmare fuel wise, it'd be the crawling horrors

[Mike23Ua]

I don’t care, shadow monsters in DST are mostly a joke anyway.. Fighting 10 TerrorClaws however.. (the new Sea Version Shadow Mob) might be complicated.

But then again I’ll just play as Willow and let Bernie handle them.

I would love some new “Shadows” or even better some new Behavior to existing shadows.. they are Shadows.. so they should be perfectly capable of Shape Shifting like the main Menu loading screen for the game Zoo Tycoon.

By the way why isn’t fighting TerrorClaw an option on the poll??? They are Shadows Too.. or did you forget they exist?

Crawling horrors. Idk if it's just me, but the terrorbeak hitboxes are way too janky. Their attack sometimes hits longer and sometimes shorter than the animation, which makes it really inconsistent to dodge.

Also, no option to run away with beaks

[kuroite]

If you at least give me a walking cane, I would even choose Wes against 12 Crawling horror.

 

Edit: After some tests, doesnt matter how long it will take, I still go for Crawling, felt way safer. I even had to focus one Terror at a time to reduce their number efficiently while i could brainlessly hit-dodge-hit-dodge what came in front of me with Crawling.

[Spino43]

Depends on situation.

Playing alone with zero lags, terrorbeaks.

Playing on pubs, crawling horrors, since I can just outrun them lol.

Turn lag compensation off. The terrorbeak's attack is always waaaay shorter than what it appears to be. It isn't bad hitboxes, you're just lagging and the game is lying to you about where you're actually standing.

Less funny poll then.

Honest answer? I have never in my life fought a single terrorclaw, no idea how it feels to fight that three-headed seaweed.

For me, personally, I cannot adapt to Lag Compensation: Off no matter how much I try, and I've tried for the life of me quite so. Pressing of a key and the time it takes to have effect in game amounts to a significant delay for me (made even more annoying by the fact I rubberband inconsistently as well). It doesn't help my W and S keys have some faults, further misleading my reaction times. Sadly, to top it off, my best ping with closest Dedicated pub never goes under 60-70, usually ~100. Hence I had to adapt and deduct at said ping 1-2 hits when kiting mobs/bosses (with Lag Compensation: On, of course). In such circumstances Terrorbeaks are very iffy, and I need to take the extra mile of goading them like worms, baiting the attack and hit one of the bunch knowing they will swiftly go-at-it again. Crawling Horrors on the other hand are easily packed (and bagged) even in tight spaces. Of mention: I never play personal servers, since the "???" ping estimation issue introduced last year I have no one joining my pubs and am long past enjoying the game solo.

You can fight terrorclaws in the ruins if you clip OOB. Or maybe they die instantly as soon as they spawn, I forgot.

Let's say you're in the ruins, on low health, cornered and don't give a heck about nightmare fuel, you just want to survive, which would be your opponent? I wanna prove a point here.

You can easily outrun crawling horrors with no speed boost; but that doesn't apply to the terrorbeak scenario in which case i recommend to run away from them in a straight line when one of the beaks tries to attack you (as when it's pushed by the other tbeaks, it gets enough speed to attack you if you run like a clown).

Both of them stop moving to attack you. Unless you're running directly into them or they're being pushed as they attack (such as by 8 other crawling horrors) just holding w makes you immune to their attacks.

this thread shows the duality of don't starve players. I'll take the 3 terror beaks

I get your point ^W^. Crawling horror is easier (I've fought 5 at one time) due to nightmare fissures. But terror beak- he be always around you, you know if he is chasing him (I've fought 2 of them before), but if you kill one they will make you go sane and the others stop following you, added I'm sick of me being underground insane and get my sanity up, and don't see no more shadows, 2 minutes later a crawling horror is crawling up on me and I'm dead.

I totally forgot Bernie them terrors distracted enough for me to hit them. Also forgot machine pieces on hamlet kit nightmares.
