Time to learn my weakest weapon

Not sure how much I can push for 61k; I think it's technically doable, and I know there's been some issues with the legitimacy of scores on the leaderboard, so I'm going to take it in good faith for now and see if I can break the 60k barrier. I think it'll require some insane snake tooth RNG during the last day, definitely some really good early passive picks for momentum, but right now I'm feeling pretty good with these scores.

Died during my single best RNG run during the last day, had 20 worms, if I had the average drop of 1/5 snake teeth that would've been 4000 potential drops, 800 snake teeth, adding to 48,000~ from drops. This would have potentially broken the 60k barrier (12,300+48,000=60,300), but unfortunately I had no cold water going into the last day, and while I have done cold water-less big worms before, it usually requires snakeskin boots at level 4 or greater and no mistakes with the worm pathing (or bad worm pathing that pushes you too far into the wall to be able to properly loop.)

The strategy for this basically requires precise RNG and a reset if fertilizer isn't seen by day 4, and minimum restocks to keep amassing snakes and increase potential snake net profit. I might write up something more detailed later but I'm going to keep trying for now and see what I can do.

I took a trowel break to casually play with the pitchfork again and my love for its damage will never falter, 60k in sight

Take fertilizer and pierce as early as possible for DPS, buy lootsnakes as quickly as you can, get lucky on day 4 with lootsnake and day 7 to buy garden snakes, optimize build to avoid buying any level 6 upgrades and only essential level 5 upgrades as needed, save teeth wherever possible (that's the broad strokes at least)

Oh, fascinating, so we DO use the same strat, in the broad lines. My 54k run was:

  • 1 loot snake on day 4
  • 4 on day 5
  • 10 on day 6
  • 18 on day 7 + 2 garden snakes
  • 20 big worms on day 10

I guess the key difference is that i usually buy lvl6 upgrades to get enough DPS to survive day 10... So, yeah, i need to find better builds that don't rely on lvl6 stuff to save some teeth.

Thank you!

Congratulations, that's incredible!
I am still extremely impressed by the fact that you do this without the level 6 weapon upgrade. It adds so much DPS that i was convinced that even with 27 teeth to spend you wouldn't get the same value from secondary weapons... But your results don't lie!
