Underrated effects?


Frostnip

Recommended Posts

Okay, so there are effects that people automatically dismiss, especially 3rd gen and Robo effects.

I personally think there are good effects out of the bunch.

I think Terror-Watt and Kill-A-Watt are quite nice. Miami Nights isn't too flashy, but it's pretty good looking on some hats, like the Brown Bomber or Hallmark. DBD is flashy, and that's why I like it.

What about you guys?

I think my Terror-Watt Bomber looks quite good.

C9, Disco, Time Warp, GBH, ra, af are good. The rest are garbage.

 

The new effects aren't really underrated, people just stay away from them because they're still overpriced so no one buys them, which makes them seem like cancerous crap, which makes people not want to buy them.

Honestly, I like timewarp. I had kill-a-watt demo hat for a while, and I liked that a bit too. Sold it after about a week though.

Yeah, terror watt and kill a watt are definitely underrated. The effects are so vivid and just nice looking to be considered that low to many people.

Nuts n' Bolts.

Eerie Orbiting Fire.

Stormy Storm.

Smoking.

Misty Skull.

Bubbling.

Orbiting Fire.

Orbiting Planets.

 

I love these effects to death, but they're such a huge pain to sell.

 

Also, I wish they put in Orbiting Cloudy Moon :(

I feel like all of the 3rd generation effects are automatically underrated by principle, but especially the Watts. Those are right up in the Energy/Plasma tier, IMO.

 

Another effect I feel is quite underrated is Orbiting Planets. It's colorful, fairly visible (at least if you put it up high), and open enough for lots of forced theming, which is enough to make it my favorite of the 2nd generation effects (which is why I bought a Planets Magnificent Mongolian).

>Topic is named "Underrated effects"; Top tier effects are chosen

My favorite'd have to be Searing Plasma. I haven't seen many people who like it, but I think it's pretty cool.

terror-watt/kill-a-watt work really great as second effects with Halloween/Storm-type effects.

Personally I really like arcana/spellbound and demonflame/darkblaze/hellfire but many people will lowball them to hell because they are newer Halloween effects.
