Favorite Fire Support Merc?

(Aazhyd) #21

When Stoker came out, I played a LOT with him. So much that I forgot how Skyhammer played. I had to adjust when I returned to him. Still Sky is great.

I like Kira too, Arty isn’t great but definitely playable.

1 Can you smell something burning?
2 Take a trick or bugger off! Here come the thunder!
3 You want ammo? I got ammo. You want fire support? I got fire support!

Stoker is quite awesome, area denial can win you games.

All hail Arty! All hail Arty!
And Stoker.

Dig a trench or bugger off! Here comes the thunder!*

Out in the open, Arty is probably the most deadly Merc. Indoors, you better be accurate but if you can make those shots count he can crank out some kills. He’s definitely my personal favorite.

  1. Kira
  2. Stoker, when the map is UG
  3. Difficult difficult lemon difficult
  4. Skyhammer don’t have Stark AR, enjoy your bottom pal.

It depends on whether I’m on offense or defense. 'Hammer is a great offensive powerhouse with the ability to carpet bomb teams and keep ammo topped up on the move. Stoker is a more defensive class with an Ammo Station and a wonderful area-denial method.

Fire supports are my most played mercs by far. For me it’s:

  1. Stoker
  2. Kira/arty
  3. Skyhammer

Sky’s airstrike is a bit hit and miss for me. Great damage potential if you know what you’re doing, but I usually don’t and then I’m stuck with that massive cooldown until I can try again. He’s also the only fire support that can’t use the Stark.
While her health sucks, Kira’s speed makes her fun and different from the others. And her laser (video below) is amazing and so satisfying to get kills with.
Stoker’s molotov is the best, though. Great at both damage/killing power and area denial. There’s never a bad map for it, and unlike the other fire support abilities it’s always guaranteed at least one kill unless you really feck it up. It’s also the fastest to use and can work as a panic button if you’re getting rushed when low on health.

Skyhammer

His ammo packs are awesome, and the air strike is surprisingly versatile, like a mini nade indoors. I got a timik loadout for him and I’ve been rocking strong with it in almost every game.

Nope, Silver

Honestly I’m ok with that.

I may just get Swiss Red and Chrome Cobalts for my loadouts to be honest. I would like to have specific colors for each type of Merc but I just don’t think I’ll care enough. I’m working on getting Bronze for all my favorite cards then going from there.

Mastering skyhammer’s airstrike just seems beyond me. He’s the kind of merc I want to really improve at. Any advice on aiming his airstrikes? It seems people can always see and run away.

Yes I guess that’s an easier way to say it :slight_smile:

Lasers are fun.

Skyhammer is a basic merc. And the M92 Loadout is amazzzzzzzzing.

Skyhammer is actually pretty easy to use. Just shoot and give ammo. But where it gets tricky is airstikes. But hes still great nonetheless.

And the M92 Loadout is AMAZZZZZZZZING!

Arty is more popular than Skyhammer, interesting.
