It moves quite slowly – as Slugs do – and is quite weak in comparison to other forms, so it might seem like a poor choice for your adventure.

Tips

The key to winning with Slug in Nobody Saves the World is knowing his limitations, and then using his strengths to your advantage. He is quite weak, moves slowly and his Tear Burst takes time before it starts firing which leaves you vulnerable. However, he is constantly excreting slug slime behind him when he moves which will Slow enemies. And using Slime Slide increases your movement speed (to also get you out of a pinch) but also to cover a wider area with slime. Couple this with the Slug’s Secret passive that maximises Crits on status-inflicted enemies (like Slow!) and you suddenly have a much more powerful form. Slowed enemies make them easier to hit too or flank around them for safety. Blob Lob is the Slug AoE attack for clearing multiple enemies and is particularly useful against Light Warded enemies. You can affect how far you shoot it by how long you hold down the corresponding button. So practice this to ensure you always hit your target in the heat of battle.
