What to buy? Which is better?

[sm0ky 92]

I have posted this topic in Problem and Solutions instead of Game Discussion, as I don't have the required rank to post it in Game Discussions. Please don't close this topic (but you can merge it).

 

I wanted to ask which combination is better for which game mode. My main objective is crystal hunting, not experience gaining-

 

 

 

For Death Match:

1) Thunder-Hornet OR Thunder-Viking

2) Firebird/Freeze-Wasp OR Firebird/Freeze Hornet

3) Vulcan-Mammoth OR Vulcan-Titan

 

For Team Death Match:

1) Thunder-Hornet OR Thunder-Viking

2) Railgun-Hornet OR Railgun-Dictator

3) Shaft-Hunter OR Shaft-Viking

 

For Capture The Flag:

1) Thunder-Hornet OR Thunder-Viking

2) Isida-Wasp OR Isida-Hunter

 

For Control Points:

1) Thunder-Hornet OR Thunder-Viking

2) Twins-Viking OR Twins-Titan

 

 

You can obtain crystals quickly doing it the mindless way - Polygon CP and arm yourself with Hunter/Viking + Firebird + Badger T-F. Just treat it like a TDM but also capturing the point from time to time.

Seeing how Freeze M2 is op now, should I get Freeze M2 or just save for Rico M2? The changes weren't at all what I expected- Wasp for me is nerfed badly- Viking got a major buff- I thought Freeze would still be just okay but it's op- Hornet is actually pretty good- etc. Poor isida is still dead.

Freeze if you like to annoy your enemies :ph34r:, and ricochet if you just want to PEW PEW in the face your enemies.

 

Now, which is the best duo module for a shaft user?

[tankerkuldeep 739]

1. Badger T-d (freeze fire thunder)or Badeger T-F (freeze fire twins).

2. Fire M3  or Twins M3 (I already have freeze m3 but everybody is using protection from it so I want something else)

Freeze just... kills fire with no worries.

It freezes you slow but when you do freeze, just give up. even if you have the fastest rotating turret and hull in game, even mammoth m0 will be able to circle you until you die.

[BlackWasp777 4,498]

Take care of buying freeze now.

once the skilled freezers learn to handle their hulls better and undust their freeze skills, the turret will soon be nerved as it is OP in true skilled hands..

[Cold.Freeze 19]

Is mountain kit still good after the update?

[RobocraftIsBetter 20]

Should I get XP M2? Is railgun m2 still good? I am also considering vulcan dictator.

[0dysseus 88]

1. Badger T-d (freeze fire thunder)or Badeger T-F (freeze fire twins).

2. Fire M3  or Twins M3 (I already have freeze m3 but everybody is using protection from it so I want something else)

1.Badger T-F, it's more specialised and very good for smaller maps. You already have emerald lgc for good thunder protection.

2. Twins m3, you already have freeze for areal damage. Most poular freeze modules have fire prot too. Twins has that infinite ammo for heavy drugwars, and it didn't get nerfed like it's competitors smoky and hammer did.

Exactly.  The real problem isn't game balance but the uncertainty of when your turret/hull will be changed/nerfed.  This gets on everyone's nerves and is a big reason everyone isn't using freeze right now because it's probably going to be nerfed again in the future. 

 

Freeze if you like to annoy your enemies :ph34r:, and ricochet if you just want to PEW PEW in the face your enemies.

 

Now, which is the best duo module for a shaft user?

Don't buy ANY modules, especially not duo ones, until you can unlock the m3 modules.  You won't even notice the effect and it's a waste of crystals.

[N3tralRE 282]

Now, which is the best duo module for a shaft user?

Hmm...Well on one hand, I_Already_Won is right: the M3 modules are the BEST modules to get.  However, you, ZRichard123, have a LOOOOOONNNNNGGGGG WAY to go; specifically, you won't get M3 modules until the Lieutenant General and Marshal Ranks.  So having protection in the meantime's not a bad investment at all.  

As for best Duo module, it's really up to where and how you play Shaft.  

If you like having an edge in long-distance sniper fights where Rail and Shaft dominate, consider having a Panda D-B M1 module.

If you are more into engaging with Thunders, Vulcans, Smokies, and Ricochets, think about having a module with protection in those areas.

Speaking of which, try getting a product kit available around your rank, since they have M2 modules.  

 

Honestly, it's up to you, ZRichard123.  Hope I helped out!   :lol:

On my alt for all of this.

 

I am not interested in any kits, except maybe firewall, which is doubtful I will have enough crystals for by the Halloween sale, and even assuming it will be available during that sale. However, firewall has all of the things in it that I want right now (hunter and good freeze protection).

 

So, wait and hope firewall is available for Halloween sale, and that I have enough crystals, or buy hunter and a paint with fire and freeze protection for 50k during the sale? I already have and use the boar kit- it got considerably better after the re balance.

[Jwimmer 2,835]

Should I get XP M2? Is railgun m2 still good? I am also considering vulcan dictator.

Rail M2 is a sad meh right now. Vulcan Dictator would be a great choice- both got better after the update (in my mind).

[Commander_Cupcakes 0]

I play with Firebird M2. 

 

Hunter, Viking or Dictator, considering the new rebalance? 

[sm0ky 92]

What hull would you be using?

[sorenson_2015 26]

Should I be getting rail m1 or thunder m1 during Halloween sale

[Holiday_Titan 0]

It doesn't matter anymore. The recent update has just neutralized everything. Now Mammoth and Titan have same health. Everything is not lost its characteristics. 

[r_GaIaxy2 8,611]

I play with Firebird M2. 

Hunter, Viking or Dictator, considering the new rebalance? 

Hunter seems pretty strong now. I would give that a go

[fordmustang12345 3,910]

 

1. Badger T-d (freeze fire thunder)or Badeger T-F (freeze fire twins).

2. Fire M3 or Twins M3 (I already have freeze m3 but everybody is using protection from it so I want something else)

1) Badger T-D. Thunder is now OP while Twins isnt as big of a threat as it was before cause its reload has been cut in half . 2) Fire M3 . As sadi before Twins isnt as OP as it was before, plus, if you get the Alteration for Firebird you can kill practically anything within about 5 seconds with DD (as long as they don't pop a Repair Kit )

[fordmustang12345 3,910]

Hunter. It is now basically a in between Height Medium hull that has the exact same Armor as Dico and Viking . Only faster (and now practically Drift free )

Any answers?

Dont go for H/R. Better go for W/R

[Phoenix.Rising 2,519]

Should I MU Fire/Freeze/Isida or Fire/Freeze/Smoky module or

 

buy a Fire/Twins/Freeze Module during the 30% sale?

 

Weapon of choice (mostly paired with Viking) : Freeze, Fire, Hammer Twins & Rico. Playing Small- Medium maps as usual with this module.

 

But... I already have Max Rock LGC module for short range, not sure if I should get anything new..

 

(I actually do not know which freeze module to get.)

Should I get freeze m2?

Looks pretty dope after the rebalance

[0dysseus 88]

1) Badger T-D. Thunder is now OP while Twins isnt as big of a threat as it was before cause its reload has been cut in half . 2) Fire M3 . As sadi before Twins isnt as OP as it was before, plus, if you get the Alteration for Firebird you can kill practically anything within about 5 seconds with DD (as long as they don't pop a Repair Kit )

Thunder is good now, no denying that, but as i said he already has emerald lgc. Besides, thunder doesn't work in smaller maps where fire and freeze are found. The only maps that module would really suit are poly cps, and twins is pretty common there too.

 

Twins reload was cut in half? NO. The big changes are in m0-m2. m4s reload is still the same and m3 got a miniscule nerf of 0.2 seconds longer reload (2.5 tp 2.7). Not to forget twins got it's damage and range of maximum damage got buffed, so m3 is pretty much the same, meanwhile m4 twins is better than before.

The alteration is a fair enough point, but don't foget twins and freeze don't even have their m2 alteration out yet, not to even talk about m3 Alterations aren't a stable investment yet imo. And 100k, means module, another m3 or many mus in a good sale.
