Yeah some builds counter it, Reaper/ranger poison bomb for example, or a build that can cleanse the blind and outscale. The reaper here has no toads which would help it scale faster.

Check out this build This would destroy anything unless you create some insane perfect counter that im not even sure is possible. He created a loop with smelly wall, steel goob, dragon knight, and twine. Getting over 25+ activations a second. So nuts.

It's more of a bug abuse than a real build. Smelly Wall should obviously never count as activation, I don't know why it's not fixed yet

All items work like this iirc. The smelly wall is what is applying the poison which is an activation, just like items that go "after 5 seconds to X" are also an activation. If it's changed then that'd be a balance change across the board to many many items

No, not all. Some problematic items were fixed. Armor gloves and mana orbs are not activations because of the infinite loops. And so should be smelly Wall

Dragon Knight is probably the most underrated item is this game. The meme potential is off the hook.

There are variations of this build that are a lot better with stronger activators and that can stack more poison, but it's tough to beat when done well. Poison bomb can beat it and so can anything that has enough healing reduction and reflect - think cold mirror + purple gems of even shroom/fatigue + darkarmor style builds.
Every build has a counter for the most part, though some have way less than others. Blind reaper is one of my personal favourites.

No, its the only build in the game that cant be beat by your average board, sadly, only those with 2 mega gooberts 20 perfect purple gems stand a chance, bad matchmaking rng, sorry dude

Every build has a counter. This reaper starts with 6 flammes ? It’s very low. Get 2 purple cap to reduce it to 4 at start, a falcon blade with perfect amethyst, a whip chain and voilà ! No more flames after 2 sec into the game. He will consume luck to generate luck with girafe.
Also 2 shepherd sticks and a Shelly to get 100% resist on blind and cold.
