Let's Discuss Ricochet!

[RicoGod 1,832]

If you have M0 Rico its damage output will be equal to M1, not M2. So I recommend not to do that. But it's your choice.

I read it wrong..

The Viking ricoshet is a good combo

I guess I'm stopped to play tanki. RIPochet!

[NewbieCake 3,067]

Every turret basically became a lot weaker except Twins. Rico is now the new Hammer, with delayed projectile speed.

+ agree

Twins hasnt changed much. its either increase the dmg or increase shooting speed.

What do you think about the incoming changes of ricochet?

idk, not sure about it

But its seems like its nerfed. 

[BlackWasp777 4,498]

Do you guys understand the change of weak damage from 0% to 25%?

Usually (other turrets...) the weak damage is dealt to enemies at distances larger then [min damage range]. Like Smoky.. it can deal a certain about of weak damage beyond it's [min damage range].

This means the projectile has in fact infinite range (smoky projectiles fly until they hit a wall, even if 200m away).

 

Will the Rico projectiles now also fly.. infinite?

But they bouce.. will they never vanish ? :):)

I would love to fill up a map with thousands of bouncing Rico Oranges :)

 

 

nah, honestly.. what does that mean for a Rico? Will they bounce until they have used up their [min damage range] and thereafter fly with 25% damage capacity until they hit the next wall and disapear?

The wiki team has not answered yet (but ok they are vulenteers - and they make a great job - so nothing to complain about!)

This is far too powerful to be unlocked at marshal.

It was unlocked at Marshal ante-update, I think it's pretty fair. 

[Bydo 20,119]

not really if you go to battle with players most player by Marshal have m3 and some have it fully upgraded if there buyers.. for me on the bydolord account i did have it before marshal and had it 1/4 way upgraded... by the time i got to Gizmo i was fully m3 upgraded to m4 but my experience was just ok this is the area i needed to get stronger in .. now my m4 is good but i have run into others which are 10x more powerful then mine and its hard to take out another ricochet..

 

these players are more in Russian servers ..

How can their ricochet be more powerful than M4?

 

I'm just speaking from experience. With double damage this weapon destroyed members of my team in a matter of seconds. Before this update it was unlocked at the penultimate rank.

Pre-update was unlocked at Commander.  Opponents had equipment to defend against it.

 

With unlock at Marshall Ricco destroys Generals and below fairly easily.

There should be xt riochet

The XT dictator would look INSANE......gotta see this when it comes out.

Yeah. I just remembered I have desert paint actually but rico is still a beast.

[austen_pierce 1,948]

I found Rico-Viking to be unplayable, but I suspect that's the Viking's fault. I'll try it on Titan and see how that plays.

 

I have only seen one other Rico at Gissmo level since the balance change :(

[Raphael2007 0]

Please don't just say "ricochet sucks" or things like that, it's useless and practically flooding. (you're probably thinking that about this comment, but anyway.) Has anyone got any suggestions as to how to best fight ricochet?

I still see quite a few at every other match. Edited October 25, 2016 by Phoenix.Rising

Ricochet is great as a offense weapon. However,it can kill a wasp in 5 bolts.

[r_I_already_won0 2,339]

why the "however"?

[austen_pierce 1,948]

Maybe because that's way too many shots to kill a Wasp :ph34r:

[BlackWasp777 4,498]

The time it takes to take down a Wasp is not too long.. a Firebird takes 2,5seconds as well and has to move much closer for the kill.

So while the firebird is vulnerable while he moves close, the Rico can deal the damage from further away
