[Merc] Jackal

(SpinnerzNQ) #1

“Surprise!”
Now hiring Jackal, a deceptive mercenary who loves giving out explosive little gifts to his enemies.

  • Class: Engineer
  • Health: 100
  • Speed: 415
  • Hitbox: About the size of Phoenix

PRIMARY ABILITY

  • Jack in the Box: Jackal can wire a bomb to enemy deployables that explodes when the deployable activates (i.e if the ammo station starts to give someone ammo while the JitB is attached, it will explode). The bomb has about as much power as Proxy’s mines, give or take a few ticks of damage. Jackal only has one of these Jitbs, and the recharge is about seconds.

Good luck getting close to a sticky bomb or proximity mine and not have it detonate. - This ability is basically just a nerf against Bushwacker. An aura will just deploy a new station to mitigate this problem, as will most mercs with ammo stations.

just put normal prox mines on heal and ammo stations.

Maybe if you could throw this or another kind of device near a deployable which then detects and attaches to the nearest. I wouldn’t know how else this would really work, the problem being it is realistically limited to only a couple or maybe 3 types of deployables.

Also, nearly forgot to make this joke.

But no, really, This merc would just be a direct nerf against a select few. (engies and aura)

Hmm, its very situational though, i mean, what if the enemy team has no engineers/fire-support mercs?
