For the taunt :

 

Purple (flames)​ > Green (smoke) > Pink (Spectral) > Red (inferno)

 

 

For the hat I don't really care.

None of the effect on my radar.

Tesla is just hyped beyond end. 


 


So probably tesla ontop then stars and then neutron. 


 


To be honest I kinda like neutron. Its a great eff and underrated. Just like all the effects I like.

The Meet the Medic Hellish Inferno is AMAZING the bats and doves at the same time give it a heaven/hell type feeling, not sure why people aren't liking Hellish as much the trail on it is amazing for taunts that allow you to move.

 

Tesla > Insomnia/Slumber > Neutron Star

Hellish Inferno > Flames/Smoke > Swirl

Am I making a mistake to ask 30 keys for this tesla then? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Robot hat so it won't go for much. Besides, considering how common the Halloween unusuals will be, I can probably get an all class tesla Coil on for pretty cheap.

Maybe you're right. NVM.

Best effect for hats :

Tesla coil (looks a bit flat but quite nice anyway)

> Starstorm insomnia

> Starstorm slumber

> Neutron star (not bad though, looks better for instance than dead presidents effect).

 

Best effect for taunts :

Spectral swirl (very colorful and smooth, it fits well a purple energy unusual hat)

> Infernal flames / smoke (I personnally prefer the white-green one, I don't remember the name)

> Inferno (blurry bats, not a big fan)

 

New halloween effects for taunts are really better than most preexistent ones.

I think slowly starstorm slumber and neutron star have become better looking to me than tesla for me. Probably because I like the color purple.

Maybe I have a soft spot for robot hats. 

They are actually not that bad looking. In fact I think this "bad neutron star" and "bad robot hat" make a decent combo 

with my disco antlers.

Judging by sellers as well as customer demand, Hellish Inferno seems to be by far the most wanted effect on moving taunts (Zoomin Broom, Conga, Box Trot and such) while on stationary taunts, Hellish Inferno is seen as bad and the lowest tier.

 

Personally I think (for taunts in general)

Spectral Swirl > Infernal Smoke > Hellish Inferno > Infernal Flames

 

I must be the only to think that the "flames" in Infernal Flames are tiny and far far less noticable than the "smoke" in Infernal Smoke. Other than for the color I can't see myself wanting Infernal Flames over any of the other effects :/

 

And for the hat effects I think Tesla and both Starstorms are equally good, while Neutron is quite a bit worse

I got myself a Second Rate with Flames the other day, it's slightly less noticable but the color is so much nicer.

 

Inferno consistently is low tier from what I'm seeing. Spirals seem to be snapped up as soon as they pop up, I'm honestly not sure why people are thinking they're the lowest tier

Infernal Smoke is on the left, Infernal Flames is on the right.

My opinions differ from the popular :(

I love the 2013 effects the most.

Harvest Moon looks amazing IMO and the 3 bat effects with arcana and spellbound are great too!

I really like the phantasms and ghastlys but I think ghastly is better.

I think if neutron star was more noticable and bigger it would be IMO the best effect of this update but I chose Insomnia since it looks nice too. Tesla Coil just looks so cheesy to me.

INfernal smoke is amazing, Hellish inferno is pretty cool too.

infernal smoke and demonflame + scorching ! <3

 

and neutron + spectral twist (huge effect )

(pyro model looks weird, everytime i use voodo cursed soul i never can actually see it on replay)

and the cars taunts smoke vs. hellish (less desired for me)

imo smoke loooks better than other effects, nice particles and that energy twist respond to the player movement, but all of them got they appeal.

spectral is huge compared to others

hellish got some blood drops+ bats and the red energy on the ground pulses while you move leaving a energy trail

 

just couldnt get my hands on a infernal flames yet

sorry for the size of the imgs

Neutron and Slumber are honestly amazing. I had a white painted neutron ballcap, and it was stunning. Only issue i have with the effect is that is breaks off weirdly. Now i currently have a slumber tossle cap and i couldn't be happier. I think it's the color more than anything that i love. I feel like now they are very overlooked and not wanted since they were massed unboxed, but there will be a small following behind both of the effects
