The Anti Merc Rotation Guerilla Bunker

(TheStrangerous) #1

Merc rotations, by many it’s despised for having certain 4 mercs (former 3 mercs number) abused all over the servers.

Some decide to leave for a time being. But what if we could use the rotation, as an opportunity to troll others, by using anti mercs?

Let’s discuss the best mercs to use against, whenever any new merc rotation pops in.

So… the next rotation will be a pretty spammy one… Kira, Fletcher, Fragger, RedEye… oh boy… it’s the calm before the storm, which will rain nades and strike with lasers.
The first thing that comes to mind would be picking Thunder. His con grenades should troll any Kiras, whole laser got loose, or Fragger who will accidentally throw his cooked grenade elsewhere, and so on, and so on.

Any more ideas?

What.
I don’t even.
Eh?

If you’re talking about trolling teammates, then get off the internet and get some social skills. Try to understand how your actions have consequences for others.

If that still seems funny to you, go see a psychiatrist, stat.

Ummm, guess I didn’t make that clear. I didn’t mean trolling as in “griefing”. I mean it in a way, to pick a counter class against enemy team, full of mercs from rotation, and give’em a hard time.

Ah.
Well.
You do realise that other than Phantom/any other recon, there aren’t really any direct counters for all situations, right? Those flashbangs work on anything (if they work), an Aura health station doesn’t like half of the mercs, etc.

Basically he wanna know whats the best counter to everymerc.

Fletcher = Vassili, Aimée Red Eye any one who can put him down without having to get close

Kira = Thunder is a nice idea if you manage to conc her whil she uses the laser but im a bit sceptical

Fragger = I tend to use speed merc with smg and get very close and be able to get off real quick if he decides to nade both of us and I stick to them and do circles around them while shooting them jump can be added their sensitivity rarely follows the speed of Sparks Aura or Proxy

Red Eye = Id say nader is the top if he plays safe and far. Actually I use nader to counter any Sniper(ish) merc you can fuck them off real quick if you are accurate with the GL. Or I use another sniper to fight fire with fire but you need to be faster than him to shoot you Id say nader is safer if you’re not confident in your sniping skills.

It’s true, not every rotation will have a good counter. Sometime you gotta fight fire with fire, which is picking the merc from the current rotation, unfortunately.
I know tihs isn’t really rock-paper-scissors type of class based game, but there’s always something to counter. To lesser and bigger extend.

If there’s two or more <100 hp mercs in rotation, its always smart to go Nader or Fletcher. Seeing as the upcoming rotation has three 110+ hp mercs, and the current “no vassili cuz reasons” rotation ends, i’m gonna play the hell out of vassili :smiley:

Rhino them all.

Well, im grateful that there are not as many Bushwacker with turrets everywhere and 2+Thunder who spam Concussion so youre blinded 2/3 of the time this week.

Next week will be… well… . Newbie Fragger who instathrow nades mostly are no threat. Go with smth 120HP or longer range to counter those with sheer aim/skill.

Against Kira go Fletcher. (Just being on guard and trying to not be in sight of enemies (spawn) helps aswell.)

For Fletcher go Fragger or Vassilli/Redeye if youre skilled. (Not Aimee)

For Redeye pick Redeye yourself or anything with some spammable AoE clear like Arty, Nader or Fragger.

However, you dont need to play countermercs to perform well. When Nader was free rot i still played Aura in Underground and were jumping through the nades of 3 enemy nader the whole time to heal my poor little aoe spammed teammates.

Ever seen an Rhino running away from laser? No? Thats maybe because theyre too fat to miss with the initial call down. :stuck_out_tongue:
