merc idea: Tia the runner merc

[Kirtap101]

Tia and her family have always been on the run, no one really knows why though. Tia isn’t your standard daughter though. her father, due to his obsession with keeping his family safe, placed a tracker on his daughter ever since she was born. so when she started becoming a mercenary, her father was really worried for her. though Tia is a tough girl is used to being on the run, so she thought, “why not make money out of it”? she is an excellent sprinter and also excels at combat. she also has asked that her father stop tracking her while in combat, she finds it very annoying and distracting.

Primary ability: speed dash
Tia can push herself further than most mercs, meaning that if needed, she can provide herself with a sudden rush of speed, propelling herself forward a certain distance at ludicrous speed.

secondary (passive): Sprint-fire
Tia, due to her expertise in combat, has learned how to balance out her runner and weapon skills. Tia can fire while sprinting, meaning that she doesn’t lose momentum while sprinting and she can stay in the fight, even when she is at full speed.

primary weapons: smg-9 (default), blishlok, br-16

secondary weapons: Smuth and westman, caulden, deagle

melee weapons: both knifes, cricket bat

[quote=“streetwiseSailboat;161944”]I’m pretty sure you don’t lose momentum when firing your weapon, making the secondary ability useless. I also don’t see how a runner ability is beneficial. Maybe quick escapes, maybe if she was an engineer, but it seems so useless.

what i mean is that she can fire whilst sprinting. ad that she can do jumps and parkour whilst firing as well.[/quote]

I’m pretty sure all mercs can fire while sprinting and jumping and none of them lose momentum while doing so.

no all merc can walk and fire, not sprint and fire at the same time.

Tia would make for a fun Assault class! Dirty Bomb has a great combat system for fast players, and a fast gun toting Merc with movement abilities could have a lot of potential.

Crits:

• Speed Dash could make for a great dodge mechanic, initiating ability, or fleeing tactic. Perhaps while using this ability, Tia could be immune to attacks or she could instantly reload?
• I’m actually alright with Sprint-Fire
• Due to Tia’s speed, I think she’s better off with a Kukri instead of a Cricket Bat.

Add a downside to the merc. Otherwise, why the hell would someone pick Proxy when there’s a more mobile merc using even better smg’s?

Keep in mind that some players already struggle to hit Aura or Sparks when they’re hopping around. A speed-dashing merc with decent range and time to kill at said ranges could be problematic and result in a phantom-scale nerfing upon release. - Things to consider.
