What to buy? Which is better?

Recommended Posts

1-1 so far. A tie... need more votes :)

Done (Redneck)

 

Guys, I'm in dilemma, on the sales I will buy hunter m2, probably spark and Rico m2 or rail m2, but I don't know which of them. I like the gameplay with Rico and it's versatility, but I'm thinking about rail, because someone offers me a place in a starllader team. What do you think?

Ricochet is stronger than Railgun and in my opinion more effective in normal battles. As for the versatility you're mentioning, both weapon offer a very versatile gameplay. Railgun is even more fun to play with in my opinion. If you're planning to join a clan to play tournaments in StarLadder, Railgun is the better choice, and with Railgun m2 (+Hornet m2+appropriate paint) you can start playing XP battles.

thank you for your suggestions! i'm already micro-upgrading a lot my main paints (emerald, inferno), and i wont buy Zeus any time soon. i dont feel the need for it. are you sure rock is worth it for me? i already use micro-upgraded emerald and taiga for isida and twins, and i find thunders particulary EXTREMELY annoying. some paints i would like to buy later in my career would be Clay, Lumberjack and Africa, for their total coverage at long, close and medium ranges. africa in particular for the new weapons protection that i currently lack.

I reccommended Rock because it gives Twins/Isida/Freeze protection all at the same time, but if you are willing to change paints in the middle of a battle every now and again, then stick with what you have.

 

Clay is an absolute must. First thing you should get upon reaching Gissmo :) Then Africa.

Should I get Thunder or Firebird M2? I will use the turrets with Hornet M2. I prefer attacking, but can defend at any time if the situation demands it. I play on maps Rio, Kungur, Serpuhov.

Freeze, in my opinion if you are skilled. I am not skilled that's why I am weak against gissimos . The only problem you will face is Inferno paint.

Here is problem -_-

In mid range maps like serpuhov better is rail.. But you can use fire as well!! For instance to return flag when both teams have the flag!! And one more, is easier to take the flag because defenders are in base, so u can kill them all together and run ;) So, mistake!! Fire better, with a good rail shaft paint!! And one more think.. Buy fire first because its way better m2 than m1... Rail not so much.. I had m1 rail till 3 gold stars, and in 4 gold stars I bought m3 xD! No big different expect u want xp/bp.. I suggest fire, or if u want format battles rail..

Sorry for English :)

Try Dictator and thunder - Perfect combo for polygon CP.

What close ranged weapon goes best with dictator

l

I would say hammer even though it is more a mid range weapon. (still super effective close up), but isida would work the best with dictator. If u get under gold box, theres almost no way to kill u fast

hammer kinda nerfed depending on paint. but people without paint are always afraid of this one. I would go hammer. puts off railguns and works really well with dictator or viking. What maps do u intend on playing?

P.S About that Siberian Kit, the Tundra paint is EXTREMELY good for some Railgun protection. A M2 Railgun with tundra'd be a 3 shot even if you have M2 Railgun. The 10% Smoky protection is pretty handy especially if you encounter a drugging Smoky M1 or Smoky M2, can cause alot of damage...  :P But of course, its upto you of what to get.

Thanks for your advice Flappy  ^_^.   Sure, Tundra is great against rival Smokies and any XP or BP players.  However, I find myself dying more often from other deadly mid-range turrets like Thunder, Ricochet, and Twins :/ (wish I could get Clay or Africa); thus I would feel somewhat more comfortable with Roger paint (I could get Cedar or Python, but Cedar provides mediocre protection from Isida and Smoky while Python provides Shaft protection that I don't necessarily want).  In the end, I won't be needing the Siberian Kit soon...right?

 

EDIT: Sigh...after some heavy second guessing, I decided that the kit is worth its 63,400 crystals; all I have to ignore the Hunter M1 unless I feel in the mood for some Hunter (which is to say almost never) and enjoy Tundra, Freeze M2, and some 56,700 crystals worth of savings.  If I want Freeze, I'll go Siberian; if not, then...I'll buy Isida or wait for the next Isida kit.

Hello!

I have 105k

I need 2k xp to rankup to captain

After Ranking up to captain i'll have 115k

I want Thunder m1 + m2 = 74 850 crys

 

115k - 75k = 40k

 

I want to get Another m2 

 

Im thinking bout isida m1 + m2 = 44 200

Or dictator for golds but im a more light / med hull guy (i already got hornet m2)

 

What should I buy 

I've heard that isida is kinda boring thats why im scared

And I'll manage to get 120 -130k before sales 

Every calculation is reduced by 50%

25% sales = No buy

Just reposting! HELP ME PLEASE

Yeah, you're correct. No, I no longer play XP/BPs, so Firebird M2 with Hornet M2 is my choice.  :)

Hi all.

 

After new update i can't find FaQ section, so i'm asking here -_-

 

What m3 kit is early available? I mean, lower rank kit. And what rank is that?

 

Should I buy a m2 kit now or wait for september sales? (50%) when i can easily buy dictator m2, hornet m2, rico m2, twins m2, isida m2 and roger paint? (enough crystals for all and i can rank up for twins m2 if i reach 2k xp every day.. so..)

 

Thanks in advance.
