Heya. So, as it seems, a whole lotta new items appeared in the game. Back in the HH days, I'd try to mix aesthetics with game balance in order to get the best out of a monster. In an email I got from Robby, Robby told me that drop rates are indeed variable (and assignable to each monster's droplists), stating that if he wanted to, he can "give Petunias a 100% chance of dropping twigs and Squishers a 0.0001% chance of dropping twigs." Yeah, literally 1 in 1,000,000. Such a fraction would give drop rates far more accurate than what Helmet Heroes had (increments of 10,000). That aside, I'll list out each suggestion for each monster.
Squishers
Current Drops: Twig (Very Common)
Suggested Additions: Boxers (1% chance)
Suggested Removals: None
Fanged Squishers
Current Drops: Twig (Very Common), Cherries (Common)
Suggested Additions: None
Suggested Removals: None
Petunias
Current Drops: Twig (Seemingly Nonexistent), Cherries (Rare)
Suggested Additions: Pink Hat (1% chance), Big Squirt Gun (0.5% chance)
Suggested Removals: None
Side Notes: Maybe increase the spawn rate as an alternative? They take longer to respawn than Shagdaws and Stumpies.
Shagdaws
Current Drops: Twig (Rare), Blueberries (Rare)
Suggested Additions: Baseball Jersey (I'd say just as rare as Brown Boots in Spiked Squishers/Smeedles. They fit the team name on the jerseys.)
Suggested Removals: None
Smeedles
Current Drops: Twig (Rare), Blueberries (Rare), Brown Boot (Rare)
Suggested Additions: Carrots (hinted-at item; same drop rate as Blueberries)
Suggested Removals: Blueberries (to be replaced by carrots; carrots fit their spiky aesthetic more)
Stump Monsters
Current Drops: Twig (Rare), Blueberries (Uncommon), Cherries (Uncommon), Archer Pants (Rare), Birthday Hat (Rare)
Suggested Additions: probably Apples, but I wouldn't bother.
Suggested Removals: None
That's about what comes to mind.
Drop Suggestions
Re: Drop Suggestions
Thanks, I'll try and come back to this suggestion in the near future when I got another enemy or two added.
