Favorite Fire Support Merc?

(SpinnerzNQ) #1

I love all of the fire support mercs. They’re not my favorite, but they’re my second favorite. They’re really the only class I’m adept with just about every merc in the class. So who’s your favorite?
Also if you could, rank them in order from favorite to least favorite.
Here’s mine:

  1. Stoker
  2. Kira
  3. TIE: Arty or Skyhammer
    I dunno, I love both of em.

Burn the heretics!

I love burning ppl, especially those scrubs that deserve it. Yet something about arty just makes me love him more. Just more wrecking potential when used right. Stoker is probably a very close second.

I have a dream, that Arty will win a poll that isn’t about being bad.

just because i love the timik and I am a pyro from inside. :lol:

I really love fast mercs so mine are:

  1. Kira
  2. Skyhammer
  3. Stoker
  4. Arty

Arty goes last because i only played him a couple of times when he was in free rotation, hes alright tho. Sky is a really solid merc, like playing him just as much as Kira, but she goes first because movespeed.

Stoker because he’s useful on all maps anywhere (except the train car on trainyard for some reason) in any situation. Sure Skyhammer and Arty might do a better job at destroying the EV or killing people on open maps, but Stoker’s ability is the strongest indoor ability and is still strong even in the open (it can destroy the EV, just not as fast as artillery or air strikes).

Kira. I find Stoker and Skyhammer too generic for my playstyle. Kira gives me fragile speedster and burst rifles.

(JJMAJR) #9

Kira because I’m a weaboo.

FLAME…DEAR FLAME…

Kaawaaiiiii…

1.Kira
2.Skyhammer
3.Arty
4.Stoker

I have a burning hate for playing Stoker that I can’t exactly explain.

(MarsRover) #12

The only fire support merc that I don['t enjoy playing is Skyhammer, because his ability has a long cooldown and is not interactive.

(Dawnlazy) #13

Conceptually Kira, but I can’t lie about how reliable the good ol’ Skyman is. My most played merc by far.

(Amerika) #14

But getting 5+ kills on the last point of Chapel when players sit around the rock/bus area makes it all worth it :slight_smile:

I think Stoker is my favorite right now due to him being evenly useful on all maps but I like all of the fire supports…but play Kira the least (not a fan of lower HP mercs).

So the forum screwed up and my reply was added to my quote of MarsRover. Neat.

Kira is love, Kira is life!

(bontsa) #16

Do you smell something burning?

Used to love Skyhammer by far, but after getting used to burstfire guns I prefer Arty really. Depends on the map though. I prefer the M4 indoors / up close so on maps like Underground I’ll use Skyhammer but maps like Bridge or Chapel I definitely prefer to use Arty. Way more damage per minute via his airstrikes, and with the frequency of them it’s way easier to take out people repairing the EV from a distance.

Although I do use Proxy the most, definitely Arty when it comes to fire support.

I love Arty’s short cooldown. Because you can strike every 9 seconds. 9 seconds!! Unlike the other abilities, if you screw one up, oh well, here’s another one!

(doxjq) #19

Exactly my point. The damage per minute is just too good. Plus the fact you can cross map strike aswell. Pretty handy for the middle of the first objective on Chapel where the snipers often repair the ramp and sit by the turret sniping away

Love Kira. Not very good with Skyhammer at all. Airstrike feels like so much responsibility. I probably only used Arty like once, but still.

  1. Kira
  2. Stoker
  3. Arty
  4. Skyhammer
