The best paint.

[I_KRUT2017 0]

I crunched some numbers to figure out the relative strengths of the paints based on the frequency of the weapons that they protect against. This is based on my observations of high ranked games that usually consist of Lieutenants and up. Still, one shouldn't think about buying paints until body+weapon are decently upgraded, so this may still hold true for lower ranks.

 

My weighting system is as follows.

 

30% to Railgun which is dangerous because it has OHKO potential, and because it is seen so often.

 

25% to Thunder for much of the same reasons as Railgun.

 

15% to Isida which are the dangerous flag attackers that are notoriously hard to kill when drugged.

 

12% to Ricochet which is still used quite a bit and very dangerous at M2-M3.

 

10% to Freeze which is still potent despite its nerf. Many top players use M2-M3 on light bodies.

 

8% to Twins which are still used by some and have heavy knockback.

 

0% to Smokey/Firebird which are never used at my level.

 

 

 

Therefore:

 

Best 500 paint- Swamp

 

Best 1000 paint- Safari

 

Best 3000 paint- Tundra

 

Best 5000 paint- Corrosion

 

Best 7000 paint- Taiga

 

Best 8000 paint- Electra (Taiga is a better option than digital)

 

Best 10000 paint- Prodigi

 

Best 12k paint (mid to long range fighters)- Spark

 

Best 12k paint (short range fighters)- Rustle

 

Best paint that you can't buy- Champion

 

Best paint overall- Prodigi/Champion

 

 

It's also worth noting that Prodigi has the highest value in comparison to any other paint. Only Tundra is more cost effective than Prodigi in terms of protection. None of the 12k paints are quite worth it compared to Prodigi, and the two other 10k paints are terrible in terms of value. Corrosion and Taiga are excellent paints, while the 8k paints aren't that good anymore. Then again, there's no denying that Electra looks awesome. Still, I would go with Taiga or Corrosion or save for a better paint instead of buying Electra. Champion is ranked barely behind Prodigi but is a better paint all-around.

 

Happy tanking!

Its a CHAMPION paint..duh...You can only obtain it by buying every single paint

 

And next to that..I dont really agree with this topic...The paint being its "best" depends on a lot of things..

No...The only way to have champion in test is if you were there the day they tested it

LOL THIS IS A RUSTLE COLOR

[r_St.Evergreen0 3]

It looks very similar to Rustle though. But Champion costs like 5+5+10+10+50+50+50+100+100+100+200+200+200+500+500+500+1000+1000+1000+3000+3000+3000+2000+2000+5000+5000+7000+7000+7000+10000+10000+10000+12000+12000+12000= idk you find that out.

Champion wouldn't cost that much to buy, unless you mean you get it for free as a reward for buying all other paints.

 

I also think that the best paint to use also depends on the map, plus, I think natsu's percentages are wrong. Railgun is not that big of a deal in high ranked battles. Also on small maps like Island, you will rarely ever see a Railgun or Thunder, so that makes Python the best on small maps.

Still you have to buy all the paints before you can get it. So basically it's like paying the crystals to get Champion
