Like the versatility. She is fast. She heals and dishes out damages from a grenade or up to 120 dam from the cockler

Its very hard to pick one, I love Dave as he can run so far and can deal dmg and has a grenade. I also like Madame Lahague as her Rifle is so nice. Merci is so great cause she heals all around her BUT cannot heal herself which is sometimes bad but cool. Pete is fun to begin with as he has massive dmg potential. Richie with his 3 arrows is like a pete with more grenades, lots of fun.

Im not sure who to buy next so thats why I will also add my dislikes.

I do not like the fact that some Soldiers can only use a very limited range of weapons that has for instant good melee dmg but bad range dmg.
I understand why due to balance but there are some soldiers who has 18 Points and can shoot 4 times with a rifle! Dacova. Now having to face 2 of them makes the game unbalanced. I also dislike the fact your main radio soldier cannot use a rifle, why not?

I think one should limit or have a custom limit mode where one can limit which different type of heros can play for instant only one soldier allowed etc. That might balance things out. I dont like to loose its fun to play but thats my two cents…

Kate, no contest. I like to crunch numbers and really think about adding other Soldiers to my roster but when the time cane (early on) to get Kate I didn’t even need to: Light Medic is the best class.

I picked Juan, that guys a beast, great dmg great energy (18) nice. :slight_smile: havent tried textbook kate, good idea! :slight_smile:

(Desparado) #6

I voted Kate as well, not because I own one of them, but rather they keep owning me in PvP.
I should have got her instead of the Russian and some others. Not fully realizing what each soldier and weapon does, wasting money. My own fault, really.

I love Gus he the most sexy person in this game who else can tank like this sexy beast

(Hot-Wire) #9

Juan DaCova. He can fire the Avenger HSR twice in one turn. Nuff said.

(ChaosPinhead) #10

I picked Juan, I swapped his weapon with Sneaky Pete and Juan can shoot the rifle 4 times if he doesn’t move. That is 80+ damage in a turn. :slight_smile:

(Sandman77) #11

I think Juan is overpowered at the moment to be honest… I have to get him to stay even with those fighting me with 2 of him!

(ChaosPinhead) #12

Well having a well balanced set of units is one thing, but having multiple of any unit will create a overpowered formation when you typically try to place a balanced squad on the field to combat a variety of things. If someone turns around and drops 3 kates or 3 Juans, it will of course cause a problem to most people’s regular formations because they are not equipped to heal that much DoT typically. But then building a formation with a couple Angelas and some 300hp heavy gunners or riot trooperscould be a nice counter to that due to healing 40 hp a round by default if your units are grouped and a separate 80 hp a round from 2 medkits (which also cure Kate’s poison DoT). Juans are powerful though but I don’t think they are grossly overpowered but are limited by 3 energy per step. If you keep them at a distance and heal the DoT, they are left with avg movement and a oozi.

Gus Marx
there are so many different usages for him and his artwork is awesome.

(zenstar) #14

Agree with Tinker. Gus Marx because his model is awesome and because a heavy medic with pushback is awesome for versatility.

(Crozzton) #15

Need to ask what all the jajaj and shi shi shi means.

Aye. Fun to skyrocket your own heavy sniper a few squares he (Juan) can both move and fire twice (or thrice with medium)

(Catnadian) #17

I noticed heal can’t actually shut off Fire DoT, and I’m wondering if that’s really working as intended. Seems a bit much honestly.

(Crozzton) #18

Think it is intentional.
Remember I tried the water cannon on my unit think that getting hosed down by water ought to extinguish the fire. Guess what. It doesn’t. Could be a feature :slight_smile:

(Domm) #19

so many soliders, so fun.

But, I have to go with Archie Fletcher.
I guess all of you have got vipet by him (them)… :wink:

(Crozzton) #20

Was it you doing three of those at some point?
Underestimated the nuke in those
