I call it "The Dragon". Best used with wasp as it's speed helps to get closer to enemies as quick as possible. Requires great skills to use it effectively because of the high fuel consumption and slow refueling. If you have bought M1 then it is better to shift to another weapon till you can get M2 as the difference between them is great which also makes M2 worth the 94000 crystals that it costs. And the same goes to M3, although M2 can be used for quite a long time as you can steal kills with the burn affect which can also be used to kill enemies without losing much health. 

 

(I'm in a hurry right now, so will add more stuff here later)

the only thing is that for low ranking people they get killed easily and many people will make them as a target.

No offense to low ranking people.

I find Firebird very good with mammoth in DMs; I play Polygon DM with generalissimos and still get D/L over 1.50; because the afterburn effect is very damaging and powerful.

what does D/L mean?

[pizzaslad 471]

Death to loss ratio. So if I die 2 times, and kill one person, my D/L would be 0.5. You can see  it in the rightmost section of the Scoreboard in battles.

Tanki, I have a suggestion that I think you should consider. Firebird is an overpowered weapon. The M2 damage is like an M3 freeze. Yet you guys make the Afterburn longer, can u guys like decrease the health you loose per second or make the afterburn shorter?

[BlitzPanzer12345 241]

R u crazy ??

They have totally nerfed firebird

and u want to nerf it more ??

[hiramdoe 376]

You obviously doesn't play-know Firebird at all. Wish Firebird afterburn get a little reduced and max power range could get a couple meters extra. Cause as it is now, it definitely suck.

[trombone_ftw 734]

As always, I completely agree with you Letchik.

[pizzaslad 471]

Firebird has a 5 second charge while Freeze has a 7 second one. Don't forget that they don't  max damage until they are at point-black range. And Firebird's afterburn is good how it is. Let's not forget that before all these 'rebalances', Fire was the only short-ranged weapon that could kill a Mammoth in one charge.

If Firebird would have its damage reduced, you would basically have Freeze without the freezing effect.

Oh and don't forget that Freeze is able to shoot longer than Firebird.

u mean the range of firebird is longer than that of freeze .. its 21 meters with fire vs 18 meters with freeze

 

the after burn damage of fire was much better before than now.. its too slow for now takes much longer time with little slow damage .. it can allow the other tank to get a lot of help while its on FIRE ..or for someone to steal the kill .. and it recharges slower than freeze.. also freeze continues longer than fire when it charges its load.. however fire immediate damage is faster than freeze and with longer range ..   Freeze for pros .. while fire doesn't need lot of skills .. yes some skills but not that much as with thunder or shaft -_-

[trombone_ftw 734]

^ If he meant that, he would've said it can shoot farther. What he meant is that Freeze has more charge.

[pizzaslad 471]

You mean Freeze doesn't need a lot of skills while Fire does

[trombone_ftw 734]

Not what I meant, but I fully agree.

[pizzaslad 471]

Not you, but USA-Power. He was the one I was talking to.

The glory days of Firebird are indeed over, those where from the great rebalance up to the moment Tanki decided to change my 23 hp afterburn into a lousy 5 hp.

 

I have some great memories of that era, now all my Firebird does is collect dust! It went from 1st pick to last...

skill with shaft?..are you serious?..ig I got this right you think that the shaft needs more skill then firebird?..

[trombone_ftw 734]

^ Shaft doesn't need much skill, but a very skilled Shaft player can dominate a game.
