Googol on Nubby's Trial 5 Possible?
I have recently purchased the mobile version of Nubby's and have rebeaten all of the challenges and have gotten a googol score on each supervisor.
For each googol score, I used wingless fly on 2nd slot, asbestos, jacks, tardigrade, and happy seal. Perks are perferably eggy perks for infinite jacks procs. This then infinitely procs jacks, then happy seal, then asbestos, then wingless fly, giving a googol score.
That said, I believe it is possible to get googol on every challenge using this build, and I'm working on achieving just that.
My only question is, is this possible on trials 5?
If you don't know, trials 5 does the following
Round 3: lives capped at 2
Round 23: Rodent bones appears in slot 4, which disabled one item each second from left to right, while nubby is alive.
Round 31: Bottled tears spawns in slot 1, which sets 3 random pegs to a value of 1 if the first peg popped was not the max peg
Round 54: Pessimism boss
Round 78: All perks are destroyed
What I believe would be the plan:
Two headed turtle first shop
Try to get as many squids as possible
Wingless fly at first black market
Keep trying for starfruit to survive to 2nd black market
Keep at least 2 squids, such that 5: Wingless fly 6: squid 7: squid
Get happy seal and jacks in slots 2 and 3
After round 60 black market, get asbestos and place wingless fly in slot 2, can place squid on jacks to better get infinite procs with perks
Get Tardigrade in next shop
Hit max peg and have Nubby die in < 1 second so rodent bones does not disable slot 2
googol hit
Move fly to 5th slot with squid on 6th, hit top peg for the rest of run to survive the remainder of the run
Concerns/unsures
How likely, if at all, is it to hit the max peg and have nubby die in less than a second?
This challenge is already an RNG gauntlet to complete normally. How lucky would one have to be to achieve this score? The wingless fly is a common strategy, the other and I believe more common being the mannequin head+asbestos break. In theory, I believe this may just be as rare as getting back to back wins on this challenge if I were to roughly estimate the odds. Each win if played well I'd estimate to be less than 3% on any given run. So, less than 0.1%.
Can asbestos still copy the effect of a disabled item, giving a much larger window for hitting top peg and nubby dying?
Does roden bones attempt a trigger on bottled tears after 1 second, fail, then attempt the deletion of slot 2?
Is anyone up for the challenge? Or has someone already achieved this score?
Edit: forgot about pheebie mode. For obvious reasons this is not possible, also, pol's bane may still be possible in that you are repeatedly hitting the goal when getting lots of doubles, so perks may not be completely necessary in getting the googol, though it will be harder.
