The BEST merc for Points/XP???

(MatteMG) #1

Which merc do you think is the best for getting all those lovely points and why?
For me personally, I thinks Sparks or another medic Like aura is the best, but depending on the map and whether you are attacking or defending, engineers can also be pretty good!

It would probably be different for everyone. I personally have the highest XP per minute on Stoker (it’s nearing 1100) but I am pretty close to that with some other mercs/classes.

I feel like medics and fire supports are the most consistent to get high XP with but you can do it with pretty much every merc when it comes to pubs.

the easiest merc to get high xp is aura; plonk the station and revive anyone in vicinity, dont let the station die.

as far my personal highest xp/min… Rhino, followed by Phoenix, Kira, and Redeye (yes you heard me, redeye + grandeur!)

Probably Aura

I’d say Aura. Healing station gives you tons of xp for healing and health insurance bonus. Plus revies. Plus you actually can frag with her pretty nice, even tho most people think otherwise.

But I check my profile now and I’m shocked to find out that Aura is my second top scoring merc. First is Kira.

For high XP/Min i’d go with Stoker/Aura as they can provide continous ammo/healing.
Stoker is great if you need support and/or combat as the molotov is an awesome force to be reckoned with

Aura. Still waiting for the nerf in Health Insurance for her. 50% of all EXP, not 100%. She’s cheap.

Medic - Aura
Assault - Fragger
Recon - Redeye
Fire Support - Stoker
Engineer - Proxy

That’s just for me though.

Phoenix in the right conditions I can do 10-15k or more in a stopwatch match

(neverplayseriou) #10

@Mc1412013 10 to 15k is kinda a normal/average in a sw match xD

(KattiValk) #11

Aura if you’re really not the best shot ever. Anything else if you’re good at the game, though Aura still wins out in that department too sometimes.

Still, XP is kind of worthless at the moment. You’re better off not inflating your score average so you don’t get teams filled with people that have no idea what’s going on.

(HunterAssassin5) #12

Point and exp don’t mean jack shit, in fact, they’re probably a little harmful. To get creds, you do missions, I have no idea what the match payout is based off of, but missions always give creds

(Apofenas) #13

My highest is Arty. Too stronk on Chapel/Bridge. About 450 game mode xp per arty strike, support xp from ammo packs and combat xp from 120 xp merc with burst rifle.

+1 for Arty. His airstrikes are insanely fast, so even if a Skyhammer or Kira tries to take out the EV you’ve usually done 75% or more of the damage to take it out. Dish ammo to people and try to hit them direct for +40xp on every pack. Plus the fact he has the ammo packs and not the ammo station, I just find this way better to stay in the action as I can drop a pack where ever I want when I need it. With Stoker and Kira I always try to plant my ammo station where it’s going to benefit the team more so than myself, as I usually try and flank around to funny places, so when I need to re-stock I usually have to break position and go fetch myself some ammo. Arty is just downright the most consistent for me, but like we always say each to their own.

If you’re not very confident in your play though you can almost guarantee Aura is a safe bet granted you plant the heal station in safe positions where most of your team mates usually sit. Even if you’re not reviving people, they just run to her health station like moths to a flame.

(doxjq) #15

I do more than that on average in even an Objective game with Arty if it goes through all 2-3 objectives haha. Hit over 40k with Arty in a Stopwatch game yesterday. The dude is just too good with the Stark tbh.

(PD_Agent47) #16

My opinion is Redeye , Stoker and aura for all those kills and XPs

(doxjq) #17

In all honesty all mercs are good for XP. Even Vassili believe it or not. As long as you’re aggressively sniping and constantly throwing your heartbeat sensor into positions where the enemies are always coming from you can get a crap load of XP from “spotting” for your enemies.

(Szakalot) #18

all mers are good for xp as opposed to WHAT?

some mercs are better for exp than others: e.g. phantom is very poor for xp, even if you know how to play him

Phantom gets a lot of XP when you kill with melee due to the badges. With the gun he sure earns less

(Shirobon) #20

The most XP I’ve ever had was with Sawbones on any map, or Skyhammer on Chapel. Since you can pretty much blast the EV with one airstrike, it will net you a lot of points if you can hold back the opposing team long enough for your ability to cooldown before they repair.
