Is Mammoth the king of capture modes?

[ekf 88]

Now when its overdrive has been buffed, is it the best hull of all for capture modes?

I've just played some CTF with Mammoth and was absolutely dominating, both for defending and taking flags, because of the overdrive. I'm in the low ranks though so I don't know if it's the same in the high ranks

The higher ranks have access to a plethora of equipment that can make capturing flags easier, or make capturing it harder for enemies. Paladin currently is most suited for capturing flags with its Overdrive that can reduce enemy armour around it, heal itself and make it immune to any status effect that could immediately stop it from getting out of the base.

I don't doubt that you're right, but it's hard to not believe that a Mammoth with Trickster would be even better. But I guess not.

Paladin OD cant survive mine fields, even with mine module and double amor, as 2 enemy with miner drone or sabotur drone can lay 80-100 mines at base, especially on large team maps, with heavy enemy fire + mine, there is no combo can get enemy flag except mamthon trickster combo,

(Only mine immu combo)

But the drawback is mamoth + trickster + OD is no slef healing, if you team isida behind the mammoth clearing mine path, it is good flag catch, 

Or if you use nuke energy supply, you can self heal endless, i used to use 3 nuke supply contiously to run into enemy ans back to base in large map lost temple, 

But i would prefer use mammoth to kill enemy miner first with jam augment gun, as there is not much health to run back to home base with heavy combo alone, then let team with medium hull to get flag

Or use mammoth od to clear path for team, like kill paladin on od, clear ares and titan od, wasp bomb like that

Mammoth with trickster has slower speed than a maxed out medium hull with speed boost (no trickster/crisis)
You're much better off using Paladin/Trickster for attacking and Mammoth/Trickster for defending/support

I wouldn't call it the king of capture modes as a whole. I would give it the title "King of defense" for all capture modes. This can make some combos decent that seem counterintuitive to use. For example, freeze mammoth, isida mammoth, tesla mammoth, etc.
