What to buy? Which is better?

[GuidoFawkes 2,361]

Fire is currently as OP as Freeze was after freeze got that big buff.  Then they did a recalibration on freeze and lowered the damage some.

 

They may do same thing to Fire.

it's not about OP or not.. the fact that people are forced to use repair to kill it... and even if they do...  the fact that it limits the effect of repair from full heal to simply removing the burn effect to survive long enough to kill it and then die soon afterwards such that everyone uses drugs and still dies and has to repeat with a fresh set of drugs again shows that it is just the way it should remain.

[I-Hate-Druggers 192]

I see guys. So since freeze's effect is 10%, does that mean no matter how fast m3 turrets rotation speed is- it still slows it down just the same as an m1? I remember that the m3 rotation speed made freeze effect less effective.

I am very confused on whether to get M4 Smoky/M4 Hammer or buy M3 Firebird/M3 Twins (plus its no splash alteration) + M3 Dictator on Halloween sales.

Hmm, I would get an M4 if you don't already have one. Smoky or hammer are nice choices.

 

I wouldn't get dictator because there is nothing special about it compared to other medium hulls.

 

Fire is good but will require lots of upgrades... so you may as well make smoky or hammer M4.

I still have to decide between Smoky or Hammer, any help on that?

 

List the pros and cons in detail, please.

I think Smoky would be the better choice, more range, fast fire rate ect.... And Hammer is only good at sneezing distance and with Alts or upgrades

please keep in mind you will only be able to to use both Alts for a very short time because Devs are making it so that you can only use 1 at a time (pretty sure we're getting the major update right around Halloween) Edited October 18, 2018 by fordmustang12345

[Retaliate 503]

Does anyone have shaft M4? Do you like it?

I cant decide what I should upgrade to m4 next.

Firebird (Seems kinda strong atm)
Isida (My 2nd most used)
Thunder (3rd most used)
Or
Shaft 

I was going to add railgun to the list but that takes skill I have none

A few questions that should help me help you answer your question:

1) What game play do you enjoy the most...DM or team matches? Your profile seems to show a huge preference for Team matches. Is that due to you enjoying it most, or that most missions are revolving around the team matches?

2) How important is getting XP to you? Your have been very successful with the Isida in this area. I don't think you will decrease in effectiveness....your's is m3 (perhaps m3 20/20=m4). The m4 Isida is a beast IMO. You will score very nicely with it in higher ranks since there are very few protections used. You do not score that well with the other turrets except the Firebird.

3) Since you play team matches the most, what role do you enjoy most on the team? I can't tell from your profile. The Firebird and Isida are very different turrets in this category.

4) What is your Viking right now? Do you get beat around much by Smoky, Rail, Rico, Twins, Thunder etc.? Be aware that at higher ranks you will get knocked silly often. You may consider moving toward a Hunter if that is the case. Mine is almost m4 now. It is much more stable and strong than the Viking. It allows me to land many more shots (increasing kills) while taking fire from the enemy tanks.

 

On the SHAFT front:

I do play with the m4 shaft and love to do so. The most recent nerf/buff has changed the game play dynamics a bit, but it is fun to use. That being said, it is NOT a great XP turret. You most likely will improve a little on your K/D ratio, but decrease in your scoring (and hence in crystals won per match).

 

On the THUNDER front:

There are more protections at the higher levels, but it is still very effective thanks to its impact, splash and firing rate. Do you enjoy playing with the Thunder? Obviously it is not a close range turret unlike the other options you are looking at.

 

UPDATE [OOPS] I looked at the wrong profile :lol: so have tried to rework this whole thing based on your profile. Sorry about that.

 

Just trying to get you a strong answer based on the correct info.

 

Have a great weekend!

Enemies Freeze has a hard time with are heavy hulls with DA and/or high protection.  It often runs out of juice before target destroyed.

Other than that... if you are using a fast hull (medium or light - not Dictator) you can often circle and freeze enemy making them helpless - especially if you ambush them.

 

But if freeze is not to your liking you can get Fire.  But I really do think it will get some kind of nerf - it is just way to OP at the moment.

I see, thanks a lot for helping. :)

[enri_chill 265]

Not sure what you mean by "Electra", I guess you mean Voltage.

 

My opinion would be go for Boar, its a good buy and Rico is pretty safe from any more experimentation by devs for now.

I have been facing more protections with my rico lately. Not sure if it is simply the MM I'm dropped in to or if it is a trend. What are other Rico users seeing on the protection front?

I don't think there's a trend going on with Rico now, that trend is probably happening with Striker/Firebird/Twins.

 

But I do believe that at the Legend ranks many players already have M3 Rico protections, like 25-40% of the players in smaller maps (ex. sandbox,polygon,forest) and around 15-25% in the larger maps (ex. highways, magistral).

 

These rough estimates could be wrong, but seeing how annoying Ricochet can be sometimes, I wouldn't doubt it if these were actually underestimates.

OK yeah right totally forgot that thing

[MLG_Keemstar 176]

Details of my current situation:

. Isida M2 is Micro-upgraded to 6//10

. I have 460k on me

. I have Cardinal kit

. Railgun M2 is Micro-upgraded to 4/10

. Thunder M2 is 4/10

I'm thinking of three ways of doing this, which on is the best?

1. I can buy Paladin/Raiden kit, micro-upgrade Isida to M3, then buy Legend Kit

2. I can buy Healer kit, buy Raiden/Paladin kit, then micro-upgrade Railgun to M3

3. I can buy Healer kit, buy Rockshaper kit, then micro-upgrade Thunder to M3 ( Although Smoky is a pretty nice weapon too ) 

4.) I can buy Medic kit, buy Legend kit, then micro-upgrade Thunder to M3 

I know its a good idea to simply micro-upgrade my equipment to M4, but I want to be versatile first. I also barely have time for games anymore and rank slow, so I have a healthy crystal/experience ratio.

I feel comfortable with every weapon above in addition to Firebird which is currently M2 3/10

what to buy:

wasp m2 

or stay wasp m1, I love parkour dearly but I also want to play with bp

Why not use your m2 hornet? I wouldn't recommend buying another light hull till m3.

 

But if you must, then make sure to at least buy it during the Halloween sales.

save up for a powerful M2 kit, considering the fact you already have boar kit, pushing to captain and getting atlas or northerner is a good idea, you can also try getting firewall kit

Thanks for the reply!

 

1- I enjoy team matches the most, I usually only play DM when I have a mission

2- XP isn't as important to me anymore I wanted to reach marshal so I can buy M3s

3- Im usually someone that goes for it, (Usually playing with twins) unless its a good map to shaft then I sit.

4-My viking is 10/20 I think about finishing it every now and then but I always think I won't be able to parkour much with it (too heavy) 

 

and yes I enjoy playing with both thunder and shaft  :( makes it hard to choose. 

Lets take isida off the choices?

Btw my favorite map is noise 

[GuidoFawkes 2,361]

the weight from MUs don't get counted in parkour battles. this means that when you mu anything the weight will never increase in parkour, only  all the other stats will go up.

Although this was my original plan, I fear it will take my at least two years to rank up there. While I am ranking are there any other aspects I should upgrade or buy?

bad really at WO5 m2s are really a good thing just mu them to me it's OP and buy m1 alteration

So should I start muing my turrets and hulls? Which alterations do you mean?

If used correctly, Ricochet is one of the most powerful weapon in game and its OP after M2. I'd say your best option is to micro-upgrade ricochet to M3 without using speed-ups.
