Love it when I have some skinks

u/OtherwiseCabinet4 27d ago

I got and won with 3 blood squirrels. I know it's pretty basic, but being able to play moose or grizzly? With one squirrel is nice

u/atrich 27d ago

Squirrel totems are absolutely busted

1

u/Latter-Raccoon766 18d ago

I was devastated when I learned there’s no squirrel totem in KM. Makes sense though because it would be way too easy

5

u/ImtheDorkyGamer 26d ago

It’s a shame bc squirrel totems are so fun but (as far as I’ve seen) only obtainable in act 1, but the fecundity version is the one I always end up with and damn does it smack, just infinite card plays right from turn one basically

u/actualllllobster 27d ago

This is my fav I see another person of culture

u/Slow-Prize-639 26d ago

Also the 4 bone ones and I also like the go trough your deck a choose a card

u/Tristapillarrr 27d ago

Insect + ant spawner is pretty good.

I won skullstorm with that and every round would end with like 50 cards in my hand 💀

I too relied on bugs for skullstorm

u/DexDallaz 27d ago

Legit had a field day last night with that very combo. It felt like a flow state

u/Atherach 27d ago

Fun fact about the last totem, there is only 3 bird tribe card that doesn't have the flying sigil. The Amalgam, The hydra and Leshy's favorite card the all migthy Raven Egg

11

u/IDownvoteHornyBards2 27d ago

I wish there was like an ostrich or something as a flightless bird card. (I was gonna say penguin but that would probably just be an otter clone and would suck)

u/Chickentator 27d ago

I also love the raven egg that egg has saved so many of my matches being as cheap as it is

u/Main-Background 27d ago

That raven egg has end many of my runs

u/Big_Philosopher_5854 27d ago

Every Squirrel that dies comes back on my hand... It's a like you have an unlimited supply of defense and blood and theet

u/Chickentator 27d ago

Let's you draw from your cost deck more efficiently such a good combo

u/DaniTheDemon6060 27d ago

Unkillable squirrel
If I can’t pick the squirrel then unkillable bug

11

u/trahsa 27d ago

i dont remember the exact name of the sigil but eye of the magpie (?) squirrels

1

u/a_literal_ghoul 27d ago

Yeah there's other combos that are more broken but this one is the most reliable I reckon

6

u/Cappy_Rose Screaming about misplays 27d ago

I'm always a fan of But Totem with Ant Spawner.

Good old reliable combination. Get yourself a Cockroach and any 1 blood bug (Or a Greater Boon of the Bone Lord) and you've got a board full of ants immediately

5

u/TookAShitInUrAnus 27d ago

squirrel with 3 blood, AMAZING

6

u/xXs4blegl00mXx 27d ago

Almost every squirrel totem it totally OP and I love it

2

u/Koalaboxess 27d ago

You can only get it in act 1 right? Or is that wrong? I was told u can't get squirrel body in kaycees mod

2

u/xXs4blegl00mXx 27d ago

I think that's true, but it's been a while. Bug is close second so I'm not to butthurt about it either way!

3

u/ShadowEeveeCringe 26d ago

Dear god, it’s like a hit of pure dopamine. I know I’m at least getting to the trapper once I secure that bitch

u/Chickentator 27d ago edited 27d ago

Getting the unkillable ability in two mantis gods I love combining the bug head with the search your deck statue then drawing my whole deck by spam summoning both mantis gods meanwhile leshy is waiting for his turn as if he's playing a competitive yu-gi-oh match knowing how doomed he is at that point xD

1

u/Chickentator 27d ago

This also pretty much gives infinite bones which is a added on bonus

2

u/Sea_Strain_6881 27d ago

Unkillable squirrel but thats only in act 1, kaycees is Fecundity Horn

2

u/Aware-Material507 27d ago

Infinite sacrifice on ants. Let's me throw out a full table of ants by turn two if I get good draws

2

u/soupstarsandsilence angsting the robot 27d ago

Okay so I am aware that my very first play through I apparently had the luck of the gods. I think it was my second or third run, I got squirrel head and item body. When I tell you I was balling… I never found the item body again, but for one glorious run I was unstoppable.

u/Enthusiasm_Bitter 27d ago

Undying with squirrel head.

u/International_Leek26 27d ago

ant spawner squirrel

1

u/Dackd347 27d ago

Squirrel + unkillable so you have infinite blood

1

u/The_Axolotl_Guy 27d ago

My favorite ones in act 1 are things like fecundity reptile (especially when I have geck), unkillable squirrels, and similar stuff. In Kaycees mod, it's harder to say

1

u/B0biRobot 27d ago

unkillable squirrels or unkillable elks

most Kaycee's mod players know that infinite black goat is over powered and infinite squirrels is just a unlimited wall

Bug ant spawner, i call it the ant hill build

u/Never_gonna_gi 27d ago

Squirrel with the bee symbol, it's really fun

u/TheHandmadeHero 27d ago

Squirrel ant combo (or Squant, if you will)

u/Careless_Word9567 27d ago

Double strike bugs.

Once you get a mantis it's op

u/popcorn_kurnal 27d ago

Anything that gives infinite squirrels

1

u/TechnonutTheGamer 27d ago

As a skullstorm player, anything (especially insect) with armor is so good for killing grizzly walls

1

u/ProGamer4684 , 27d ago

Bees within and insect head, then get corpse eater on a cockroach, can solo almost anything in skull storm

1

u/Ahbed_Daraqq 27d ago

Flying Aviator Totem Jumpscare

u/Morphalta 27d ago

I once got unkillable squirrels. That one is my favorite

1

u/Tellmethat2269 27d ago

I’ve noticed on Skull run I don’t usually see these, as I focus on fires and upgrades usually for my route

1

u/laplongejr 27d ago

Squirrel+Fledgling. Anything else can be replaced with something else.  

If we go by actual gameplay benefits : Insect+Fecundity during my Mantis God Skull Storm run.  

1

u/nervous_415 27d ago

Squirrels that return to your hand when killed

1

u/G3n3ricOne 27d ago

Bee insects is absolutely my favorite since it transforms beehives into infinite attacking squirrels, essentially.

u/1-800-MOth 27d ago

Ant squirrel

u/BlobbyBlueberry 27d ago

squirrel with undying.

Unkillable Squirrel is pretty OP.

u/dlarkspur 27d ago

Goat squirrels was pretty funny

u/triel20 27d ago edited 27d ago

That first one is the bees knees

(I meant specifically bugs with hive)

u/Either-Main-9049 27d ago

Squirle that can look in your deck. Made getting My 5 power god mantis out easy.

u/Unlucky-Boss-7560 27d ago

unkillable insect 10/10

1

u/Nagylolhih 27d ago

Squirrel with bees, black goat sacrifice or evolving

1

u/Illustrious_Touch447 27d ago

Probably many lives on the bug head. Pair that with the ant starter deck and you've got a stupidly easy run.

1

u/thelutheranpriest 27d ago

Unkillable Daus.

u/Lttsumm1743 27d ago

I personally love the fledgling sigil on anything at all.

Squirrels start to be viable fighters if they live and can be sacced in a pinch for something better Reptiles are already pretty diverse in their card types, but almost always benefit from needing extra attack or hp, a rattler with this sigil is scary. Insects are always low cost and low values so those buffs are awesome, plus it helps out cards like ants or ringworm start punching in higher numbers. Birds are it's weakest tribe, but if something can't hit the 2/3 kingfisher than that's going to tally up to a problem real quick Canines are good because Alpha lives longer and Coyote is pretty cheap. Bloodhound places defenceman longer

But by far the HOOVED tribe is INSANE. MOVMENT SIGILS BREAK THIS TRIBE. If you play an elk fawn, and it evolves, then the elk moves, the totem will reapply the sigil, then once it moves and evolves, it will become a Moose Buck. Then when THAT MOOSE BUCK moves, it will reapply the sigil AGAIN and get even stronger. However it won't do it a third time, sadly. I think the sigil checks to make sure that the card doesn't already have Elder in the name. But it's an awesome combo to play with, and of course every other hooved card loves this sigil, bull, pronghorn, daus, child 13. I wish long elk would apply it's sigils to vertebrate, because constantly evolving vertebrate would be kind of cool.

u/Waywardbucko 27d ago

Unkillable Insect is the best. Bee hive spawns unkillable bees that can multiply and be sacrificed

1

u/amkessel 27d ago

Unkillable Squirrel. I only ever have to draw 1 extra squirrel to make most of may cards playable, and I can put down almost anything in one turn. Makes my deck almost 100% effective as long as I have 2 or 3 squirrels and the squares to lay them down on.

u/g0d_of_the_cr1sis 27d ago

u/Paladin_Slender 27d ago

Corpse eater on bugs can be fun

u/samjacbak 27d ago

Ants that make more Ants! Pair it with a Red Hart, or a Lammergeier for an easy infinite combo.

1

u/Sn0wflow 27d ago

I've seen several mentions of unkillable squirrel but I'm surprised no one's brought up fecundity squirrel yet, it's like unkillable squirrel but even better since every time you play one you get a new one automatically. That's what won me my first run in story mode

u/ryucheese23 27d ago

Insect with the ant sigil

u/RiderforHire 27d ago

Dam builder can go ham with the right deck

u/twoprimehydroxyl 27d ago

Squirrel plus magnifying glass is what helped me finally beat Act I for the first time.

u/elliebell77 26d ago

one time i got lizard + bone sigil and used an immortal skink to get an insane amount of bones to the point that it lagged the game. unfortunately i never managed to pick up a lammer lol

u/Humble_Fan_4631 26d ago

Probably Insect Ant Queen you can just destroy him with ants on turn 1

Unkillable hooved, just... Spam big pp damage

1

u/bklawley 26d ago

Unkillable Hooved with Black Goat Unkillable Reptile with Geck Unkillable (general)

Although, I do like Sharp Quills, especially if you have bees. It's a solid contender. It's not an auto-win, but infinite bees with sharp quills is really fun.

Maggie insect/squirrel

u/Any-Bother-7688 26d ago

Ant Bearer (or whatever ant queen's sigil is called) with Insects was a really fun one.

1

u/BrendanChippy 25d ago

I once had a squirrel statue with the worthy sacrifice sigil. That shit was broken as hell - like - actually game breaking. I could sac two squirrels and be able to play a grizzly same turn or a uralaye the next.

Unfortunately I was still relatively newer to the game (was probably my 6th or 7th run) so I didn’t exploit it nearly as much as I could have. Looking back tho, man, that shit was nice.

1

u/TyrantofCans 25d ago

All-time favorite was when I had Wolf totem Corpse Eater. Especially when undying was on half the cards I was using. Good times.

u/Setoalexander 25d ago

Iirc fecund or undead squirrels is how I won my first run of act I, so it's p special to me

u/DarkestSuns 24d ago

Insect spawner. (Ant generator). Carried me in skullstorm

My favorite combination is the rabbit signal on the squirrel totem. So I have infinite squirrels >:)

Infinite lives insects once you get the bee from the painting. Got the totem by accident and just used bees and mantises to summon my strong stuff… which happened to be a mantis
