What to buy? Which is better?

[Michael828 817]

After a lot of thought I decided to go for twins, which is not anything like the turrets I was considering to get in one of my previous posts. :lol:

It's currently at 1/20 upgrades and has no alterations. The very first battle with it got me 11 kills and 13 deaths, which is better than the K/D I got with firebird in its first battle.

Wanted to ask how much max and minimum damage does a Railgun M2 do with the "Large Caliber Round" alteration? Does a Railgun M2 with this Alteration+ DD stand a chance against M3 Viking or M3 Dictator?

833 and 1687. Without any protections, those m3 hulls don't stand a chance against even one shot.

too late. bought Striker.

lol sorry

 

Nice choice

[fordmustang12345 3,910]

So in the long run what's going to be better? Striker with Uranium alt or Thunder MUed?

I would just thunder because it's harder to lead the striker rockets.

[Pathfinder 1,690]

To answer your question, it's difficult to compare. In my opinion, the map and mode makes a big difference. For example, I would take thunder over striker on Bridges CP, but I would take striker over thunder in say 2042 DM.

 

In the long term you'll probably like to have both.

[Pathfinder 1,690]

I am not sure what to buy.

Shaft + Shaft module + the Quickfire alteration, or

Hammer + Hammer module + Duplet alteration.

Can somebody who played with both help? Personally, I kind of feel that Hammer might be a better choice...

The Quickfire alt is not as good as the increased arcade mode alt (30k). This makes shaft excellent especially in DM where it can 4 hit a Viking.

 

The duplet alt with hammer is obviously very strong.

 

Should you have to choose between the two, hammer + alt will probably be more useful. But both are quite different and excellent in the right scenario

You already have shaft M2 which is quite strong so I would go for hammer (I hate that weapon).

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

Well, this is interesting, I have a choice between two m3 kits (raiden and justice)

 

Raiden is $15 cheaper, looks awesome, has a turret that I know how to use extremely well, a module that will give me ludicrous protection against that turret, but an extremely unstable hull.

 

Justice has that hull that is better in almost every way than raidens hull, looks decent, but I haven't quite mastered the turret it has, and the module it has will protect me against just one of the rarest turrets in battles, and it's $15 more expensive.

 

This is literally the most important decision in all my time playing TO.

Both kits are amazing, and I wouldn't say Hunter is better than Viking. I have both and they both work great so I can't really choose one or the other, both are great. I have never used Striker but from experience I can see that it is deadly Thunder is also really deadly. I suppose it depends on your style of game but I would go for Raiden

[fordmustang12345 3,910]

I got Striker M2 and Uranium lately on a different account, not sure if it's just cause I was on Mobile but I was extremely underwhelmed by the damage it was dealing, only like 500 per rocket if I remember right and 1k with DD

Technically Viking is a cosmetic as far as I'm concerned, I have used Viking for years, and it's not as good as it used to be. Hunter has all the benefits except maybe looks.

Viking may have 0.5 more units of speed, but hunter has 300 more units of weight which helps with the stability.

 

Plus I hear that hunter has a faster acceleration than Viking.

[Truthteller 4,204]

Power = Acceleration

 

so you can see in garage hunter has more power than viking therefore more acceleration

Alright so the time has finally come, I am a WO5 and I have around 400k cry which gives me enough freedom to buy 2 kits and still have some left over crystals
I mostly aim for Voltage kit, and then buy Fireworks so that I would have an XP/BP combo and also a decent MM combo, and after these 2 I was thinking about Firewall since Fire is almost OP and the protection for it will be very useful
Now, the bad thing is that if Voltage won't come this next rotation in the garage, I will have to get an M2 kit other than Voltage (if Fireworks appears instead of Voltage, there's no problem)
Any other recommendations for kits if I won't be able to get Voltage?

Hi everyone, some of you might now me from the "Let's discuss Shaft" topic.

 

So I just ranked up to Brigadier, and that means that I can get my hands on an M3 kit in the shop.

 

My birthday is coming up soon, and my friends want to buy me two kits of these altogether.

 

Please help me decide.

 

I ALREADY HAVE SHAFT/HUNTER M3 (MU).

Since you already have Shaft and Hunter M3 it would be a waste to get any kit containing them

I think you should buy a MM/serious battle kit so you will have a combo on which you can rely on, and the other one either XP or BP, what matches your preference between these

I can see from your profile that you mostly play XP so Legend kit would be the way to go for XP

And for normal battles I'd say either Jackhammer (VIking Hammer), Master of the Taiga (Viking Twins), Paladin (Viking Smoky), Raiden (Viking Thunder) or maybe Maestro (Dictator Rico M3)

in my low ranker opinion I think these kits should be decent in battles, and especially since you are a brigadier you will have a clear advantage over most of your enemies (if you're not battling legends :D)

Man, my Shaft/Hunter is serious battle. Before, I sucked a** with XP and dropped my K/D to 0.59. Now it's coming back at 0.77 because of Shaft/Hunter.

Viking/Hammer? Ew. Duplet is one of the most d*** moves ever.

Viking/Twins? Eugh. Heavy Plasmagun is seriously one of the most annoying alts ever.

Raiden? Since Sledgehammer came out, I've hated anyone who uses the alteration.

Maestro? Meh. I've never really liked Dictator that much, and Ricochet either.

 

Sorry to sound a bit rude here, but let me just clarify. I want you guys to suggest me two kits with heavy and light hulls, because I'm already hooked on Hunter being my primary medium hull.

 

Thanks in advance!

No. It deals way more than that. Without DD it will deal 1k damage, and with it it will deal 2k.

So that means that nothing in the game except the JGR can withstand such damage.

[Tidebreaker 1,669]

Shaft + Shaft module + the Quickfire alteration, or

Hammer + Hammer module + Duplet alteration.

Shaft with Rapid-fire mode is one of the most OP things ever. Buy it if you can. Otherwise get the "Assault Emitters" for 25K.

The Quickfire alt is not as good as the increased arcade mode alt (30k). This makes shaft excellent especially in DM where it can 4 hit a Viking.

 

The duplet alt with hammer is obviously very strong.

 

Should you have to choose between the two, hammer + alt will probably be more useful. But both are quite different and excellent in the right scenario

Kirby, I have been playing with Shaft for months now with Rapid-fire mode, and it is the best thing ever. Do not underestimate it.

Of course, "Assault Emitters" is a great stepping stone to this, and you will learn accuracy by using this alteration.

But "Rapid-fire mode" just blows it out of the water. Yes, you'll miss the increased damage, but at the same time, the reload speed is 2 seconds, which could be important.

 

IMO, the Duplet should be removed. I just hate it. It's one of the most d*** moves ever to use with Hammer, and it's just broken. Thank god I have M3 protection against Hammer.

 

It'll probably get nerfed. But that is way more likely than the Shaft alt getting nerfed. So by all means go for the Shaft alteration.

You can try boreas or ant for light hull, and bulldozer, guardian, or challenger for heavy hull.

Alright, it's cool

If you say you want light and heavy hulls, I'd suggest Cardinal (Titan Twins), Guardian (Titan Smoky) or maybe Challenger (Titan Striker) and yeah, boreas or ant if you want a light hull. THere's also Ghost kit, the same as Guardian but with wasp instead of titan. Maybe here s one that you might find ok for your playstyle. cheers!
