Here I’m going to show the new players what each Type of Merc does, in a short description
Assualt Rhino, Fragger, Nader (Thunder)
These guys are your frontline, they take damage and deal a massive amount more, their abilites are limited to Special weapons and small AoE explosives . You want at least 2-3 of these guys on every team.
These should be the:
2nd Priority for Medics
1st Priority for Fire Supports
3rd Priority for Enemy Recons
Fire Support Skyhammer, Arty, Kira (Stroker)
These guys are the ones behind your bigger guys handing them ammo to kill you, they also have a lot of Crowd Control mixed in with their abilites meaning, they can hold a point longer then the other classes and they can make enemies scatter causing the enemy team to be less effective for a bit. Want at least 1-3 of these guys on every team.
These should be the:
5th Priority for Medics
3rd Priority for Fire Supports
5th Priority for Recons
Medic Sawbonez, Aura, Sparks (Phoenix)
These guys are usually on the frontline hiding behind something waiting for an ally to go down, then they revive them so those people can fight for even longer. These guys should be the first priority for every player to kill, why? The sooner the Medic dies, the sooner you can kill everyone else as it takes 8 seconds to revive a player with any other class. And please, if your playing a Medic don’t rush into the fight thinking your Rambo. A dead medic is a worthless medic. Want at least 1-2 of these guys on every team.
These should be the:
1st Priority for Medics
4th Priority for Fire Supports
2nd Priority for Recons
Recon Vassili, Phantom (Aimee, Red Eye)
These guys want to make sure YOUR dead. And they do the job really well, this class counters Medics as they can usually kill someone and finish them in one shot, so If you see an enemy Recon, keep your head down and shoot them when their not paying attention, the sooner he’s down, the better. (The only exception to this rule is Phantom, focus fire as soon as you see him.) You want at least 1 of these guys on your team, Phantom can also be used to replace someone in the Assault slot if needed. If your a recon and you see an enemy recon, blow his head off.
These should be:
4th Priority for Medics
2nd Priortiy for Fire Supports
1st Priority for Recons
Engineer Proxy, Bushwhacker, Fletcher (Turtle)
These guys are good and the offense and amazing on defense. They can plant bombs, defuse bombs, and repair faster then any other class. They even have a shotgun in-case they get into a fight, they don’t have a lot of health but their abilites pack a bigger punch then others as you can easily miss a landmine and blow up your entire squad or get taken out by a sentry because you were not paying attention. You want at least 1-2 of these guys on your team.
These should be:
3rd Priority for Medics
4th Priority for Fire Supports
4th Priorty for Recons
Heres some extra info:
If an Engineer is near an objective, focus fire.
Assualts your job is to shoot and blow stuff up, but don’t be stupid and think your Rambo.
Phantom, Nader, Sparks are the exceptions to their roles. Nader needs to play safe, Phantom can replace an Assault slot, and Sparks can hide in the back with REVIVR instead of being on the frontline
(Insert Name Here) are characters that are planned or were taken out for balancing issues…yes Phantom was one of them.
Fire Supports are the best at destorying EV’s.
If experienced players should happen to come across this then if you see anything wrong then say something.
