The Krack-Shot Kroc: King K. Rool

Let me tell you about guns. Right now, K. Rool has access to Garrus Vakarians abilities, granted to him via Kirby. This allows him some absolutely incredible abilities. First of all, yes, more land mines, ones that can easily be shot out, cause slow whenever someone detonates them, can be shot out every 6 seconds, and have an effective 4.5 meter radius, MUCH larger than any of Gruntys passageways. He also has a neat trick that fries robots, but more importantly, does stun any organic life for a short time in a cool chain lightning kinda deal. Fun at parties!

But lets talk weapons. Mass Effect guns are not your ordinary weapons. They are fueled by something called mass accelerators, which does exactly what it says on the tin: takes mass and makes it go really, really fast. Rather than using the force of an explosion, combustion, or something similar, a mass accelerator uses electromagnetic repulsion to shoot out metal slugs at quote supersonic speeds. Not only does this mean that ME guns shoot bullets faster than other bullets, but on impact with a target, these slugs squash and shatter on impact, creating this shredding shrapnel effect designed to not just punch holes in things, but deal maximum structural damage. This is why armor in Mass Effect is divided into three layers: one a kinetic barrier specifically designed to repel bullets until the system fails, avoiding damage altogether, a second, material barrier to actually try to mitigate the damage, and a third made of tech in order to rapidly repair the damage a single bullet could do. They made self-healing armor that has a second energy shield to repel the bullets, and it STILL mows people down like nothing! With all due respect, most armors? They aint cutting it, not even close. Understand that I am UNDERSELLING this if anything, considering the quote If accelerated to a high enough velocity, a simple paint chip can impact with the same destructive force as a nuclear weapon. is in the game and CAN hurt you.

K. Rool has an assault rifle full of that. And a sniper rifle. And he can turn invisible. AND Garrus specifically specializes in FURTHER armor-piercing rounds, ones that rend terrain advantages useless and try to poke through cover.

Not only can K. Rool pop out of nowhere and fill someone with exploding lead, not ONLY can he camp certain areas where he is GUARANTEED a good sniping position (my favorite being the entrance to Mad Monster Mansion, a big room with a solitary, narrow pathway over lava and then retreat into a spooky graveyard), but he has his regular blunderbuss, too! Now that might not seem all that special, but it can shoot out an exhaust cloud that freezes you in place! And guess what assault rifle does extra damage to frozen targets?

On top of this, think of clipping K. Rool? Hes not going down easy! Donkey Kong (famed for punching moons, deadlifting sunken galleons while on top of them, and slamming bananas) once uppercutted him straight through the metal roof of his airship. K. Rool then fell down his entire island (which is a swamp, mountain, amusement park, haunted forest, ice cave, and castle stacked on top of each other, in that order, and he was in a plane hovering well above them), got eaten by sharks, swam out of the swamp, immediately came up to fight Diddy, was blown into the source of his islands energy that exploded WITH him at the center and blew up the entire island and he lived and laughed as he sailed away. The guy can take a hit, like, hes got a Luca Blight series of getting beat up! And that aint his only showing, DK64 seeing him repeat the feat in a boxing match with Hunky Chunky, a 4x sized version of the normally 2000 pound gorilla punching him square in the jaw and launching him into a turnbuckle repeatedly.

and then he comes back on death, in the extremely unlikely event that hes not the last one left standing. AND he gets a free shot. With the super sniper rifle, guaranteed sneak attack. This sniper rifle normally kills marines with that super techno hyper shielded armor in one shot. In the BODY. Straight through the eyes? Not a chance in Hell youre gonna live that.

A straight up fight, this absolutely is not. This is multiple stages of Hell, friends getting picked off one by one to the various traps in the witchs lair. Worst case you dont buy Kirby, you dont think the regular bear does anything, Sagat barely slows anyone down? Banjo takes out the (literal) biggest threat in an insta-death divebomb, and from there, no one stands up to Garrus gun helmed by the Kremling Kommander. Not with mines literally slowing them, not with him able to turn invisible and live another day, not with a guaranteed shot if, against all odds, Estinien ends up making it to the end. There is no hope. Long live the Kremling Krew.
