  • Extra stuff because I can't fit it on the video: Sage Killer ability only gives additional effect when fighting Sage enemy, but it doesn't add Sage to anti-typing ability (like Behemoth Slayer and Colossus Slayer). Socrates gets most benefit only against Sage/Angel but no other Sage enemy Edit: Socrates and his summon spirit are considered as separate entity. So the spirit doesn't inherit Sage Killer ability a.k.a. inflict worse Weaken effect against Sage enemy

    Wouldve made it to the end of earthshaker, clearly a 10/10 unit
  • Can't wait for him to get a true form that fixes all of his problems in 5 years.
  • Socrates cat: Tell me, Catyphro, what is the essence of a truly pious battle cat? Euthyphro: Piety, O Socrates, is sending forth our furry warriors with righteous zeal to conquer the enemies of the Cat clan, be they dog invaders or bear marauders! Socrates cat: But, Catyphro, is it the act of conquering alone that makes them pious? Do the gods of the Almighties not care about the strategy, the catnip morality, and the righteous gatcha rolling? Euthyphro: Indeed, Socrates, piety is also about the honorable tactics, the moral catnip usage, and the gatcha that aligns with the divine feline principles. Socrates cat: So, if a battle cat rolls without a guaranteed Uber, is it still pious? Euthyphro: Nay, Socrates, for piety is not merely in the rolling but in the rolling that reflects the noble essence of the Cat God!

    I dare say that this unit is outclassed by sanzo jokes aside, I feel like this unit and future spirit spawners in general wouldve been more unique if there was a secondary cooldown instead of it being a single use ability.
  • @timmyreobed5043
    The best thing about Socrates is that from him we cam determine that Sage Slayer isn't as potent as Behemoth Slayer, potentially meaning that Sages won't be as obnoxiously overwhelming as Behemoths. Course, there's always the chance that they're going to be just as bad as Behemoths with less power to swing against them, but I like to keep at least a bit of optimism
  • @domin8or029
    Weird how a philosophical legend is worse than a cat with a monke
  • @justjoyas
    Sweet new special legend unit finishes vid Sweet can't wait for his true form so he's usable
  • @maniacmohawk5513
    Why Socrates looks like someone who would dropkick me while screaming ”PREPARE THYSELF” ?
  • This guy makes me wonder what angel sage we're about to get to need him soon
  • @DiceDsx
    The first ZL unit we get is basically a souped up Mecha Bun with a weak debuff and the inability to be stacked. Off to a great start, I see :v
  • @Pa0lod82-kt8yw
    the summon seems to unironically stunt this dude’s performance
  • @krokokoko1257
    So the Main and probably only reason to bring this guy as like a 100% frontline Weaken worth 4350¢... could see him useful as like a backup help, as in if the Enemies are pushing, you summon him, he rushes to frontline and Summons the Weaken to help your side temporarily (like a quick distraction) The 100% Dodge of the Spirit also sounds useful, like how rock and doron are a temporary Wall. We'll just have to test him a bit more...
  • @Mxi50
    When Siluman need other stage because Socrates clean up all in just 2s
  • @levicannon9306
    One potential use for the spirit that 7 mentioned in their video is that it can be used for base cheesing. The spirit has higher range than Socrates, isn’t affected by boss shockwave, immune to all damage and debuffs, and the attack is a bit delayed, which makes it possible to snipe the enemy base at 1hp or low health. Requires setup and isn’t super practical, but it’s a niche that no other units can fill in so far (next update will bring a summon Uber that is way better in general usage and easier to use on cheese).
  • @inkyinkfrfr
    he’s thinking why Ponos made shadow boxer k a thing
  • Like most legend units pre true form he is pretty dog water (ex.dogumaru,mina ect) lets just hope that his true form makes him a great unit
  • @darryllmaybe3881
    I think made his angel freeze a little inconsistent so that when they add angel sage enemies, he's the most consistent option you have. Edit, I paused and made this comment literally the line before you said basically the same thing, lol.
