Arty's artillery strike

(Bestfinlandball) #1

I heard some rumors about Arty’s strike getting some kind of an indoor capability, but that would make him a little too powerfull if it’s just like through the roof type of a deal. I would like to hear your ideas about it

You know how Skyhammer’s Airstrike Marker can be used as a low-damage grenade indoors? Well people have proposed that the tool Arty uses to call in artillery strikes does some kind of low damage too.

Same goes for Kira.

Skyhammers marker does over 100 dmg on point-blank impact. I think it can kill a full health arty

Yeah, no. It does 60-ish damage max on direct blast and 25-ish on the rim of the blast. I could kill half of a full health Arty though :lol:

Nope, he is correct. It does 100 if you stand right on top of it.

You sure? Last update I could stand ontop of an Airstrike Marker with nary an issue and just continue fighting (as Proxy). It feels low damage, or at least the small blast radius makes it feel that way.

It used to be 80 I think, but currently it does 100 damage at point-blank and scales down. To be honest, it’s actually pretty powerful in my opinion. Definitely strong enough to take out an Aura camp.

Well, it’s confirmed 100 damage, point blank. Damage falloff is huge around the explosion however so I don’t know about taking out an entire Aura camp.

@gg2ez You may have also had unshakeable or something similar as well(to account for the reduced damage).

@Ardez that’s probably it :lol:

Pro tip - if you stand on top of the marker the airstrike won’t be called, similar to when the EV rides over it. So if you screw up your airstrike, you can “cancel” it by taking some damage :smiley:

I’ve only did it once offline while testing the blast damage, so I don’t actually know how much precision is required, if it’s hard or not. Maybe I just got lucky.

@MarsRover I hope this works. It’s gonna be real embarrassing if it doesn’t :lol:
