What to buy? Which is better?

[Michael828 817]

Thx for the advice :D  So, that's the question of Voltage kit solved, but now, I have other questions. I can fully upgrade Viking to M2 level, same with railgun and thunder, freeze I can upgrade to 7/10, on sales of course. But only separately, without combining. So, which one should I do? I feel like freeze will be useless in a couple of ranks... and it's use is very limited. On the other hand upgrading M1's when I already have M2 seem pointless. I don't know. 

I can't help much when it comes to choosing which specific turret or hull to upgrade, since that's all about your own playing style. But I do know that an upgraded m2 Freeze can do you wonders in DM battles, and can also do well in other modes, especially at your rank. Don't worry about it becoming ineffective for many ranks above. Maybe try to upgrade both Viking and another long range turret now, to help you in a wider range of battles, then upgrade your Freeze in the next sale when you save up again. Don't worry about micro-upgrade sales because there's a lot of them during the year.

 

 

So you're looking for the biggest increases in stats from an m2 to an m3, interesting question. I'll try to help.

 

Starting with the hulls, it's apparent that all m3 hulls of the same weight tier have equal HP, so I'll look at the m2 hulls with the least amount of HP to determine which hull receives the biggest jump in stats.

 

Light---> Hornet

Medium---> Dictator

Heavy---> Mammoth

 

Now for the turrets, I'll try to summarize by saying that both Railgun and Thunder will generally do poorly due to the large number of modules against them, so you're better off with Ricochet or Vulcan. Also, comparing the damage increase from m2 to m3 doesn't matter here because these turrets work at different ranges and have their own advantages and disadvantages, so try to choose based on what you find more suitable.

Thanks for the help. I was aware about Railgun and Thunder, and that was less serious, because Thunder M2 was with the Guard kit and mainly for parkour (I would have gotten Atlas otherwise) and Railgun was because I'm the commander in an XP/BP clan and so, while I could play effectively against M2s without protections, I couldn't enter formatted clan wars. The real consideration was Rico or Vulcan. Which would you recommend? Before you say that it's according to my playing style :), I've never really played with either, the reason I have hours on Rico is because of parkour. I use Shaft... literally all the other stuff I use is parkour or XP/BP, meaning I can easily use Railgun but not in a real battle, because it's kind of weak and I don't drug. I got to WO1 essentially on Firebird, then I ranked to WO4.5 essentially in XP/BP (it's true :P) then I went to Shaft, and it's all been Shaft or XP/BP since then, TBH. This is just a rough estimation of my journey. So I have barely any experience with other turrets.

[Michael828 817]

 

I have zero experience with Vulcan, as opposed to the 2 years I've been using Ricochet, so I'd recommend Rico due to my bias. This is seriously not an easy question to answer, since there's no turret that is just better than the other. It really does come down to your preferences in the end, whether you enjoy playing large maps or small maps, whether you're more into offense or defense, whether you like deathmatch battles or team battles, etc...

 

Ricochet is a turret that does really good in close encounters, and has an alteration which helps it take down long-range targets. Vulcan on the other hand, performs incredibly well at long ranges, and used to be very bad for close range fights, but now after the dps buff it can defend itself better. Rico can be of use in both team battles and DM, while Vulcan I believe is not meant for latter and is mainly good for team battles only.

 

Good luck with whatever turret you choose, it's all just a learning experience, and a matter of getting used to new mechanics.

Hey everyone,@RECHARGED_RAY is my alt and I have 108k crystals on it.. so should I M2 my fire or twins with this sales or buy a kit at a later rank? Both are gonna bankrupt me anyways so.. should I get an M2 at this rank by mueing or wait for ranking up and buy a kit, not that I am gonna rank up anytime soon.. or should I 50% M2 a hull and 50% a turret?

Don't bother with Vulcan.  The devs just don't like Vulcan and Isida (maybe they were always killed by these turrets when they played).

 

Vulcan was often over nerfed when they did the "balance" updates.  It may be buffed recently, but it didn't cover the loss that much.  Also, I seldom saw a Vulcan could do well without drugs.

I am not a huge fan of kit :ph34r: :P So at this stage, I would suggest you to MU your favorite combo during each sales.

 

Buy a M2 kit later if you have spare crystals.

If you rank slow then maybe MU two combos, then one M2 kit later, if fast maybe wait for an M2 kit.

These days, no turret can do well without drugs.

I do it slow but right now I have 108 k cry, and have fire twins wasp hornet M1 so which combo should I m2

[Guest]

Also I guess I can just halfway mu a combo or full mu a turret or hull, so what should I do?

Fully MU Twins+Hornet. The combo is more versatile.

Fire & Twins?  MU whichever one you are most likely to continue with through the ranks.  But don't use speed-ups - MU multiple items on same sale.

 

You might want to consider getting a mid or long range turret if you still want a kit later on.  Gauss might be interesting and... there will be few protections against it.

Guy's! Did you suggest me to buy this kit?

No. Get Atom instead, if you want Hammer, or Fireworks. Personally, I'd go with Chiropractor over them all.

Did you mean that kit?

 

As u can see I doesn't have more rank required for buy it

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes.

Ok Thank You!

Ph, that's true. Can you still get Chiropractor?

[Drazox 665]

Nope

[Initiate 1,306]

Nope

Well, I'd advise to save for M3 kits then. Don't get Viking.

[E_polypterus 2,374]

Nope

Viking m2 is better than hunter in terms of speed and armour. IMO its better than hunter

Hornet or Wasp depends on your play style and that's because the ODs.

 

Like Wolverine said you may need a mid to long range turret, Twins is good is smaller maps but not good in big maps like Kungur.

 

But you seem to like Fire and Wasp and that's a good combo to MU to M1+, then on the WO ranks you buy an M2 kit to start MUing it to M2+. That M2 kit could have a long range turret.

Should I Micro-Upgrade Firebird or Shaft?

[Bimbulo 3]

Hey guys, me again, still not decided what to MU whether Freeze, Thunder or Railgun... I recently play a lot with freeze and it seems really weak without drugs and there are always enemies with M2 railguns one shotting me, I am highly annoyed by that but can't do anything about it... another problem is that in matchmaking battles there is not so much smaller maps, like polygon, sandbox etc. always playiong on Barda, Chernobyl, Parma, Massacre and in those maps, freeze is quite useless. Any help ?
