Let's Discuss Striker!

Uranium Montage :D

 

 

[Crossbone 516]

Did some more battles with RRE, and I feel like I'm getting the hang of it. Still making alot of botches with it and most of it is from immediately after firing the rocket. Probably because when I'm using mouse controls, I tend to double click. Habit I guess.

But I'm not regretting that purchase.

Ive used it a few times and experienced the same issues but in full honesty i wouldn't recommend that augment. Its super situational imo.

Well I'm not regretting my decision to buy RRE like I did with uranium.

adrenaline augment is my favorite, a increased damage (less than uranium) and still have critical x2 damage sometimes.

fast rocket speed than uranium for hide and seek shots. (best with auto fire and auto aim in mobile on hover hulls)

You regret buying uranium?!?!?! That augment is so effective at killing tanks especially at lower to mid tiers. Despite there being no critical damage, the increased base damage more than compensates for it.

I have all of the crystal augments for Striker on my Striker-using account apart from Uranium, but I'm not in a hurry to get it

I have to be half-asleep for anyone to hit me with a Uranium rocket

(I use Striker on Hornet with Adrenaline)

Of course uranium is much harder to use against faster hulls. that's why I said that uranium is pretty effective at mid to lower ranks. Anyways since the rockets have a fixed speed no matter how upgraded the turret is, i would say that it really depends on a person's play style or skill with leading targets. However hitting targets are very rewarding despite the increased difficulty of actually hitting one.

All the tanks start moving faster in the mid to high ranks, and uranium rockets move oh so agonizingly slow. Even though back then, it was only 70k crystals, I felt really dumb saving up for it on a sale.

 

I'd admit that the 50% damage increase would be nice to have had there not be that 80% reduction in projectile speed decrease to deter me from even thinking about using it.

 

At least with RRE, the projectile speed is only like 45% decreased, plus it has a more interesting mechanic.

I cant unsee the amount of times I self destructed from using that augment

Yeah true, I tend to double click when using mouse controls myself. Habit I guess, whoops.

[Crossbone 516]

After using RRE some more, my conclusion is that even though it takes more skill to master, I think once you master it, its a really good augment to have, I mean you can do so many things with it.

I would even go as far as to say that its even better than uranium overall.

Best value augment in the game

Also, Uranium is falling off imo, you get more benefit out of MLH's ability to spew out missiles rather than the power boost from Uranium, and the double damage crits are too good to go without.

[Crossbone 516]

So I decided to play uranium on my colonel account (well brigadier now) surprisingly I did pretty well. I guess the secret to get it to work is low expectations.

I've been using Missile Launcher "Hunter" a lot over the past several weeks. Striker's Supercharge is really powerful and I'm on the fence as to whether it's OP or not, because since it's Striker, it still needs some skill to use well. Either way, this augment is a lot of fun to use and can lead to some great results. Here are a few:

 

I was using Striker/Hornet for the Special Mission, and the game put me in a Year 2042 CP match. I saw a group of 4 tanks all parked around the point that's under the top platform, so I used my Overdrive, and ended up picking off the first three one by one with Supercharged rockets. The fourth guy managed to run away and ran around a couple of those metal crates. Luckily he stopped to attack someone else and I was able to finish him off with the AP effect still active.

 

This speaks for itself. I didn't even have Supercharge active, I just happened to get a lucky rocket right when three guys on the other team were huddled together.

Don't disturb them. I hear that that's how tanks cool off in the summer. They give all their heat to the other tank.

Easy to kill Juggernaut with Cyclone and Hornet OD even no booster;)

If u look exactly, striker's alteration are good at different modes.. 

Cyclone - in juggernaut 

Uranium - is perfect in Siege

Stun - in ctf best

Just bought the striker...had received lots of the augments over the past year in different containers and contests. It is actually a fun turret to use. I am currently using it on dictator. What seems to be the best turret in your experience. You obviously have lots of experience with it. thanks!

You should try RRE augment. Lots of fun, and gives you that extra reach around the corner.

I think I will need to spend some time with that one! EVery other rocket blew up right in front of me:) Too funny. The "hunter" augment is really nice.

Troll enemies with the stun rockets.  By the time they can move you are shooting another rocket.  Repeat until they blow up.

It's so dumb it's funny.

I have all the augments except the Uranium one. Is that any value. I really like the Hunter one. Will try the stun, since I have been wiped out many times by a skilled striker using the stun missiles.

[NikmanGT 4,362]

I seriously despise the stun striker, can't do anything except watch my enemy just time-stop me in the middle of the map, and It's quite hard to break the cycle or escape from its range.

Also, recently I found booster uranium to be too fatal, dealing much damage in 1v1 or in mid-range also.
