I still main isida to this day and have for years, you need to be a skilled player to make it work and when you do you can usually get top 3 very consistently. Although they've been crapping on isida for so long, it isnt unplayable but once again its yet another turret the average player won't ever use because they can't make it work in battles. I appreciate the other op augment nerfs but the pure isida nerf with no upside is upsetting. I can still get first place often but I'm working with scraps here, mechanic/defender + excelsior can only get me so far if the base turret is meh. I already can't afford to use any augment but SN as everyone runs away otherwise.

While I hate fighting freeze so I never remove its 50% prot, it is in fact a great counter to the op augments if you get to those players fast enough. I would suggest removing the double damage disabling and instead replace it with a fixed 25% damage reduction or simply disable their turret augment (the freeze effect). Jammer disables drones, freeze could disable turret augments.

Finally, people abused this like crazy and there was basically no counterplay... I remember a third of the way through a game the enemy team was losing and 3 of their members all swapped to thunder nanotech shells and just won the CTF because it was impossible to kill anyone... I wonder if the excalibur nerf means it no longer can one shot medium hull defender.. Hope so, this augment deserves nerfing the most. I do appreciate the buff to the other railgun augments, they were certainly lacking, hopefully they can see some play now. Regarding the crit chance reductions, beautiful, I think most people appreciate status augments being cut out of the game slowly anyway. I don't however like how you nerf the augments that people are just about to receive from the freezer games? You presented these powerful augments and then once everyone invested in them you basically gave us the Temu equivalent of those augments... I know I like the excalibur nerf but not giving us what we paid for is just wrong. If anything, these patch notes should've been released before the freezer games so people could actually make an informed decision on whether to invest in the event or not, people who invested in it were sort of scammed.

Pretty sure checkpoint 7 is just scorpion RT skin, tempest is at checkpoint 5. The image for tempest was just placed after all checkpoints and their rewards to highlight it and say its details can be found on the wiki, just poor placement I guess.

Patiently waiting for the isida rework revert.
