Firebird Vs. Freeze

[Vettefan22 145]

Firebird vs. Freeze: An age old argument. Both turrets have their pros, and both have their cons. So, the question is, which is better? Burning your opponents to a slow, painful death? Or freezing your opponents until they are utterly helpless? Discuss below!

Yup, I definitely am interested in this!

firebird at high ranks has more damage so i vote firebird

[WarMonkey51Austin 68]

I think Firebird is definitely stronger.

 

I mean, Freeze is supposed to have better damage and Firebird has afterburn, but compare the m2's and m3's. The m3 stat is supposed to be the m2 stat and the m3 stat should be upgraded. Of course, in both modifications firebird unlocks after freeze, giving freezers more chances to upgrade their weapon, but nobody really wants to micro-upgrade thier stuff bit by bit (unless m3, but that's a LOT of crystals for upgrading).

 

Now to the rank and price. freeze m2 costs aprox 66000 crystals while firebird m2 costs 99000. Freeze definitely has an advantage here, but m1 firebird unlocks way back. Primary firebird users will upgrade their firebird, because it's just a too long wait and most likely, they end up with a 30% discount (if they fully uprgade damage), so firebird ain't that bad. moving to m3, freeze costs a lot cheaper, and firebird m3 being the most expensive weapon in the game PLUS firebird unlocks at COMMANDER. But thinking twice, if you buy the medium kit m3, you unlock it much more earlier, and kits are 50% off.

 

The freeze effect is one of the best effects in the game. As a freeze user, I usually circle around my opponent, so they can't fire at me. Then if I can't kill them in one go, then I can either run away or wait for reload. No damage done to me.

 

As for the afterburn effect, you can kill tanks after you die. But then they can still kill you easily (if they have a good weapon.) I find this rather annoying. I'm the kind of person that never wants to die. :P

 

Then we have the new update: freeze and firebird will both get nerfed (damage decreased within distance), but firebird has better range, so it's still better. As for freeze, now if you want to circle around a mammoth, you have to stay as close as possibile. It isn't easy. In the tanker's vlog, it also says that 'we found out firebird is to OP in lower ranks and not strong enough in higher ranks. Well, that means more damage for the already better turret.

 

In conclusion:

Whilst firebird is significantly more expensive and unlocks than freeze, it has a lot more power and damage than freeze; it also has the afterburn effect. In comparison, freeze has shorter range than firebird and has the freeze effect, but it is no longer as powerful in higher ranks than in lower ranks, because hulls and turrets are faster.

They both draw because if a freezenkills

[Vettefan22 145]

^ What?

[Remaine 4,687]

I'm sure this has been made many times before.

But, while it's open, I use them both and get around equal DLs with them so to me, they're equal.

[Vettefan22 145]

^ You think I wouldn't first search it? There is no other topic like this.

it got topics like that and I think that it were closed. As I said^ firebird and freeze draw because if a freeze kill a firebird, his burning damage will kill the freeze. (Sorry as above I didn't got time to finish my phrase)

[Vettefan22 145]

Oh ok. That makes sense.

[Remaine 4,687]

This, essentially. But we'll see.

M3 fupirebird does a lot more damage the than m3 freeze so firebird

[Pathfinder 1,690]

M3 fupirebird does a lot more damage the than m3 freeze so firebird

Well freeze unlocks earlier

 

I think the fairest comparison should be made using fully MUed M3 stats.

[wild004 35]

how much damage can fully MUed M3 Freeze cost at one full charge.

[Xxemo_dinoxX 934]

I vote freeze. I am a person of tactics, and freeze has my favorite one(s)

[Check.Mate 31]

I like firebird! but i must say thet freeze is better at m3 fully mu it deals higher damage and the reload is about a second quicker in usefulness i believe freeze is also better because even when i burn a opponent with my firebird for some reason i never get a kill whether it be another freeze cooling my burned prey or a isida healing my opponent even when i use my m0 freeze i easily pick off enemies leaving them helpless to attacking. 

[deathfromabove_tanki 92]

FireWire has on her range, you can just outrun the freeze and never get touched.

good luck with that

[Ryoney1234 1]

i like freeze better

[Yoshister 39]

You can circle the firebird with freeze xD

[Vettefan22 145]

Votes would be tied without mine. Interesting.

[Thekillerpenguin 1,731]

I haven't really gotten an opportunity to use Freeze legitly (test server M3 doesn't count; I didn't really know how to use it), so I don't think I can make an educated decision.

 

Freeze was nerfed pretty bad by the rebalance. Firebird too, but it's still usable at my rank.

[asifmak 467]

after rebalance freeze cannot withstand

freezing time is increased and other turrets can counter attack easily.

in case of firebird ,afterburn is still there for 1 min which will shed ur life till death
