Let's Discuss Isida!

[pizzaslad 471]

That reminds me. Yesterday I was on my alt with M2 Isida. I got a battle and started drugging. There was this M0 Isida wit M1 Wasp. Even though I was on drugs he tried to kill me. On Nitro I sped across the entire map killing people and he was following me. I just turned around and used 1/6 of my charge and killed him. Didn't kill me once :)

[r_DidYouKnowThat0 1,662]

The range on Isida got much better as well! It's a perfect match for my Wasp and how I play, reckless, yet sometimes carefully, and most of all, strategically.

I can inflict damage on enemies from different angles and whatnot .It's quite fun! And it's a good feeling when you're helping everyone stay alive, especially the flag carrier, or a very good defender.

 

@Pizzaslad: Yeah, true. If you see a higher M Isida, it's a gamble. If he's almost dead, you can try and kill him, but it's tough prediction.

One of the best ways to attack with Isida is stay behind an enemy, and latch onto him/her.

 

Then keep staying out of their turrets way, and slowly but surely that damage will rack up - especially with Double Power.

And if they're running with the flag, they'll try to shake you off sometimes, and won't even turn to look at you. So it's your job to not let go of your aim, and keep attacking.  That's why light-hulls are pretty good. With a bigger hull, you'll have a bigger chance to be forced to attack an opponent upfront, which may take longer, and requires, like I said, an upfront attack, which takes pure power. It'll take longer when you can just slip by and move onto more important matters.

 

So, basically, keep out of sight, and you're out of mind, until it's too late of course. :D

 

I like playing with Generalissimos in big maps like that. I can keep out of sight, and strategize. It's very fun. And my healing matters now, since I've got it at M3. Haha.

I seldom play with Gens. in smaller maps like Sandbox, especially since now there are more drugs than ever, Kits, MUs, etc.

 

Especially since I know how to avoid Railguns and Shafts very well, considering I used to be one as well. I know all the tricks, and more. :) I find Shafts to be more accurate at shooting/killing me than Railguns are, ironically. It was always the camping Shaft that got me. Though sometimes I took the hit on purpose, to let a teammate Drugger, M3 Hornet and M3 Isida, most likely MU'd, with Prodigi paint, to go on ahead unharmed and go for the flag.

 

Then I'll be able to return on Nitro, and support him. Or if I see that he's in big trouble, I won't go for him. Instead, I'll go towards enemy flag's base. Why? They're all scrambling to return the flag, nobody's at the base. LOL.

As soon as it's returned, I'll have it, and run for it with nobody to stop me. It's an effective, and strategically smart method. What's the point in helping if you're just going to get swarmed and get impaled by 5-6 Rails all at once. Even Prodigy can't help with that, since I'm a Wasp.

^  Yeah. Pretty true. Since a lot of people these days don't turn their turret, using Isida is a safe deal. My tactic  is to get a  connection, and play ring-around-the-rosy. Sometimes they don't even hit me. The good thing about Isida is that you know when you can't hit someone, so you'll stop unlike Firebird. In higher M's you would notice the Afterburn but at lower ones not s much and sometimes Freezes waste half their charge tiring to reach someone and by the time they do they don't have enough to kill them. 

 

 I sometimes play with Major Generals and get a pretty good paycheck with M1 Isida/Wasp. Just stay back at base and heal the defenders and snipers and get 100's of points without risking your life. Even though it's just M1, I can still get some kills without any back up!

me always in top of Silence NS battles with wasp isida at m3 and picasso xD(high account)

is a very good choice to make tons of score and very good for attacking if you do it well

I think I'll start using Isida more often...

[Buggati_The_Best 1,233]

me already using it more xD

[pizzaslad 471]

^ I'm already using it more*

[pizzaslad 471]

I use it when I play with higher ranks or on a team without one. My D/L is pretty crappy but I do get a good reward and tons of exp. With a SMP........

[Buggati_The_Best 1,233]

nice xD

When you have smp and you heal someone, do you get more XP than usual?

[pizzaslad 471]

MUCH MUCH more. If a M2 Mammoth loses 2 HP, you get 2 exp for healing him. You got 30% more exp for healing. I got 13 for healing a M1 Hornet 90% of the way up. Even just touching someone gives you exp that you wouldn't if you didn't have the pass

[a7x_Pedro48 13,999]

The self healing is very low. :(

[pizzaslad 471]

Try Isida on DP.

[Thekillerpenguin 1,731]

Try Isida on DP.

^this.

 

If you fully MU Isida's self healing percentage to 50%(I've done that on the test server), once you pop a DP, you'll be healing yourself faster than most players can damage you. If you then pop a double armor, you'll be pretty much invincible as long as you have a constant supply of targets to "feed" on and the enemy team isn't focusing all their fire at you.

[LDHYA26750 1]

Isida is really helpful. It can heal tanks and when you deal damage to an enemy, you heal yourself.

[Buggati_The_Best 1,233]

isida is an predator

[Remaine 4,687]

Since becoming a Thunder, this turret's gotten annoying.

 

Irbis pls

Irbis pls

they're gonna make u SD if u use irbis ;-;

[Remaine 4,687]

And just somehow, they won't do that with Digital, my current paint?

I don't follow your logic.

[Chameleos 157]

i wouldn't trade rail defense for isida defense tbh

[Buggati_The_Best 1,233]

Irbis pls

agree

[r_DidYouKnowThat0 1,662]

True, I've never seen anyone really use Isida paint anymore. The closest I've seen was one Rustle, and that's it. The majority is usually Prodigy, Emerald, Inferno, or something of that sort.

 

But either way, it's still good for me. If everyone uses Isida paints, I'll just focus on healing my team, and since they'll (enemy) be using the Isida paints, they won't be able to protect from my teammate's guns! :D

 

Don't you just love that Shaft that won't die? :P

 

And I am pleasantly surprised at how well M3 Isida does against M2. Those M2 Isidas got nothing on my M3. :D

One full charge and they're dead, even if they're attacking me as well. Either that or the dude already got shot. . . But I think I did that to him 2x when he just respawned.

I use Electra.

The self healing is very low. :(

Yup, it got lowered on the last rebalance I believe, I certainly wish it was higher.
