How much does Explodydendron help for Kira's laser? (On EVs and generators)

(ProfPlump) #1

Has anyone actually tested how much extra damage Explodydendron allows you to deal to an EV/generator with a Kira laser? Cause I’ve been trying in a few games but I haven’t noticed any hugely significant difference at all…
(Just a disclaimer - I’m not asking about its damage to infantry)

I don’t think Explodydendron increases damage at all, just the blast radius.

The AOE is so small anyways, Explody has no effect on the laser as far as I’m concerned.

Nothing surprising here, Explody just don’t work with laser anyway, just like the healing reach with healing pulse.

??? Explodydendron never increases damage. It looks like its damage is increased with the Fragger’s nade, because after the full damage blast radius was nerfed to 32cm from 64, more radius = more splash damage. Direct hit damage is still the same.

@derpypenguinz19 @Ford_Prefect

Completely Untrue.

I’ve seen two lasers dropped down in same timing at Chapel before, and one was with Explodydendron, and one wasn’t.

I saw the laser thickness difference very clearly, right in front of me.

Also, healing reach does work Ford_Perfect, I used the C83 before and healing radius difference between C83 and default was so damn huge, besides the fact pulse doesn’t suffer with small radius.

But when you use Explodydenron with Arty it increases the amount damage it does to the EV… At least I’m 90% sure it does…

Isn’t Artys ability multiple small spiked bombs in this whole artillery strike? And they deal the damage? And more bombs means more damage? Or is it just me imagining things?

Explodydendron does not increase your damage, it increases your splash radius. On the Orbital Strike, it’s not that much. If you’re looking for a BR-16 loadout for Kira, I think you’d be better with B83.

I am sorry to tell you, but there’s already were some tests. Both of the perks don’t work with this abilities. Looks like their real effect is a placebo effect.

There were quite a few topics here and there, I’ll search 'em when I’ll have some time.
