Proxy - Tryhard Augment

(ProfPlump) #1

Has anyone intentionally made use of the Tryhard augment on Proxy? I feel like there might be an interesting strategy where you don’t go for any kills for a bit and JUST go for objectives, racking yourself up a deathstreak of 3 and then respawn with a Proxy on 120 health…
That actually might be a good idea for a pro team strategy - let the Proxy die over and over until they have an extra 30HP from Tryhard.

You could also just suicide a split second before every wave respawn to rack up the deaths faster - Proxy’s fast enough to be able to sprint back to the action after each death without missing out on much.

I often play Proxy this way :wink:

It’s definitely useful in a typical pub chaos when you are the only one repairing the EV and the rest of the team plays TDM somewhere around.

I use Try Hard on Rhino to tank and try to live as long as possible. A good Aura, Sparks, or Sawbonez can make the defense stand out.

Yeah I would’ve considered doing it as Rhino, but the health buff for him is only 15% at maximum, while the health buff for Proxy is a full 33.3% at max. Plus because of Rhino’s speed it’s much more of a drawback for him to die as he takes much longer to get back to the fight, whereas it doesn’t matter so much for Proxy (as long as she hits a good respawn timer).

Also Proxy can still use her objective planting abilities without needing to get kills, so she can still be helpful while not trying to kill anyone while you’re trying to boost her with Tryhard.
