Let's Discuss Isida!

[Loackie 269]

There was a short time Isida Mammoth was a popular combo...

Glad that's over :3

I'm willing to bet that there will be an abomination called 'Rico Mammoth' soon...

[Xxemo_dinoxX 934]

why won't this thing let me reply to people -.-

Loackie there is a kit for that right?

After the re-balancing in April this year, Isida M3 is no longer a desirable turret anymore.

when you dedicate a huge amount of crystals to micro upgrade to the max, you do not expect tanki developers to degrade the weapon so much.

 

re-load time has increased from 8.77 to 10.00. 

self-heal has been decreased from 70 to 50. 

heal has been decreased from 72 to 66.

 

The only change is good, is Damage has been increased, but not by much, from 62 to 64.

 

I get on with Isida in Polygon DM Maps, as you have somewhere to hide, enabling you to reload without being disturbed. 

I find it a hit and run weapon now, due to the slow reload.

 

When it comes to Desert DM Maps....Isida is not a good turret. No where to re-load as you are exposed.

 

When it comes to CTFs, your energy is drained quickly from extra work in healing and killing.

 

You cannot count on the positive feature Self-Heal anymore. Only thing you can do is, Self Heal and run away before you are spotted and then twiddle your thumbs waiting for re-load to be completed. 

 

It feels like a warn out turret now. 

Hopefully the Developers will see what they have done wrong soon.

You can now shoot for 6 seconds instead of five, so reload has actually improved.

 

Increase in shooting time means you have to take that into account when comparing respective damage and healing and self healing.

 

And consider whether it was a bit OP before?

IMO Isida has always felt like a worn out turret...

 

 

 

 

except when on drugs

superb

[Xxemo_dinoxX 934]

Yeah isida isn't so popular now, huh. That thing used to tick me off.

Still pretty popular, cause of the cheap cost and early unlocks.

[Xxemo_dinoxX 934]

Yeah for low ranks that's true. They may stick to it or move on to a different turret, but after rebalance, there's a 75% chance that they won't use it anymore at about W01-W05(one of those ranks) because there is nearly none that I see in my battles anymore.

idisa is awesome :)

[Buggati_The_Best 1,233]

but it gets boring quick

[ariking777 940]

Isida doesn't get boring - it is boring! It's very cheap and its Modifications can be bought in earlier ranks than in other weapons, but I hate it.

[Buggati_The_Best 1,233]

When i first used isida,i found it awesome,but after 1 week got bored ;(

I don't understand how you didn't get bored in the first 5 minutes :huh:

[Buggati_The_Best 1,233]

._.

[Vettefan22 145]

^ Did you rank? Congrats!

[Buggati_The_Best 1,233]

hooray!

[moshkinstein 142]

boring turret some users are saying.

You have to vary the turrets, otherwise it would get boring.

 

Isida is not going to be as fun as twins, firing constantly.

I class Isida as a skilled turret and not for everyones liking.

 

If you have an M3 with fully Micro Upgraded; Self-heal, Re-load and Damage. It is good in Polygon DM.

 

Sadly I have noticed since the re-balancing, Isida is not very popular at my rank anymore.

Good news, less Isida protective paint I have to face :-D

[Buggati_The_Best 1,233]

lol

I'm kinda debating whether to focus on upgrading Isida or the thunder...

Upgrade Thunder.

 

There's not much of a difference between M0-M1 Isida.

[Vettefan22 145]

@Soup: DON'T GET M1 ISIDA! I'm telling you now, don't get it until you're ready for M2 and you must get it. Thunder is, ohhh so much better. Believe me. Isida was my first M1 turret, and was my only one for quite a while. Not until I finally got M1 Thunder last week did I start getting serious with this account again.  M1 Isida gets very, very boring after a while.

 

*I MUed my old M0 Thunder quite a bit. It was very effective at your rank. Of course, this was before rebalance #2.

[7919zola 252]

booooring to use but awesome to have on your team ;)

couldn't have said it better my self. it is a great weapon to have in team matches, but it gets so boring after the first few days.

[Vettefan22 145]

^ Wut? I thought you loved Isida...

 

Oh my gosh you ranked AGAIN? Dude... you have to give me some tips...

I've been using the Isida for like 2 weeks and it's still really fun to use. I'm not surprised because in most other games I tend to like playing a support role.
