Tito Tesla or Tree Mendes?

(KINONEZ21) #1

I just updated the game and it’s awsome!! Bought Tito and saving for tree, which newcomer is stronger?

It’s gotta be a bit of tree Mendez because that smash special move

I don’t really see a use for a melee only character. That teleport grenade seems pretty cool. Don’t know if it can be used on my own guys. It would be useful to get one of my melee guys out of a tough situation after unleashing their fury.

also Tree Mendez is pretty good with the chain awesome lol.

Tito’s greande is enemy-only, but you can teleport deployables too (at least turrets, haven’t tested any others).

(Hot-Wire) #5

Cool, seems pretty good against Dee than.

I think it’s best use would probably be to remove enemies that can use Return Fire (or the commander to get rid of the Backlash bonus), should the need arise. I think teleport might have something to do with how much base AP the teleportee has, because I used it on a rocket turret and it went backwards all of one square.

Lol I just went on a rampage with Tree mendez and his chainsaw offline. That team spirit ability from the commander + Gus really makes him a monster hahaha.

Lol I just got the pun… Tree Mendez. … Tremendous. Lolololololol.

Teleport seems to work on any enemy or enemy deployable.

Just used it on the Deployo Cover! Allowed me to inflict the 150+ damage on the Hippy (that was) hiding behind it that turn instead!

Actually was 3 shots from Juan’s Botherer so…

yeah, totally worth it.

Maybe even worth the gamble to teleport their health crate away - if it goes to an area that they can’t reach (say they’d have to go through you to get it), and seeing as how they can’t deploy another one while it’s still around (sometimes it’s good to leave it alive if they put it in a poor spot, or you chase them away from it). If it’s their only means of healing, that’s worth 150HP.

Tesla!! Nice historical reference!

(KINONEZ21) #13

Yeah, I wonder how many noticed it

Tito’a teleport grenade is very unpredictable, I’ve used it a few times only to find the enemy I teleported end up at an advantage shooting point, only to end up killing Tito ( it’s happened 4 times). I find it best to use it on deploys, especially the riot cover, an easy way to get rid of the energy wasting deployo cover and getting rid of the enemies behind it.
Tree’s ability on the other hand is awesome

It may not be the easiest ability to get the very best from but it does have one of the best Energy to damage trade-offs in the game. Even if you only hit one enemy with it that’s ~87 damage for 5 Energy. Enemies don’t even have to be clumped together, just in a line that you can put yourself at one end of.

I find Tree to be most effective in conjunction with Gus as the Gus Shunt can get Tree into position to deliver his ability and/or get him out of harm’s way afterwards. The fact that he’s slow and can’t Cloak leaves him very vulnerable to counter-attack by irate survivors.

I keep intending to test whether his ability works through walls like Orbital Strike but I never remember in the heat of battle! Has anyone tried?

Tried it b4 mate, it doesn’t work. Would have been so cool tho

Tesla’s grenade seems more impressive on paper, but its disappointing in that it usually doesn’t teleport that far. I’ve seen it do it a measly tile or two, not really having a big effect on the game. Probably need to find out more of its quirks - can’t be completely random, because it never puts it anywhere on the map - there seems to be a limited maximum range.

Or perhaps just bad luck on my part.

Tree’s special would be better if it can go through partial cover, and if you could select one of the five tiles in its range to activate it, instead of just an adjacent tile. It’d be cooler if the “shockwave” went through things (maybe at a reduction of damage, as some of it is absorbed by the object)
