Which Mercs are classified as "Support" and which are better at "Objectives" ?

(Gwarh) #1

I ask as often a mission comes up to earn so and so amount of support exp. But I am not 100% which Mercs are support and which are not.

I assume the below Mercs are support yes?

  • Arty - Ammo packs
  • Aura - Health Station
  • Kira - Ammo Station
  • Sawbones - Health Packs
  • Skyhammer - Ammo Packs

I am pretty sure the below Mercs are better (faster) at turning over objectives

  • Proxy

As for the remaining Mercs, do they have any special roles other than kicking ass?

  • Bushwhacker
  • Fletcher
  • Fragger
  • Nader
  • Rhino
  • Vassili

Proxy, Bushwhacker and Fletcher are all engineers, they have the same speed for turning over objectives.

Nader, Fragger, and Rhino are assault. They’re most suited for killing the enemy team. Vassili falls between them and supports with his heartbeat sensor.

Arty, Kira, and Skyhammer are Fire Support. They have all of the lasers and explosions, and they can give out ammo to boot.

As for Vassili and the unreleased Redeye, Phantom, and Aimee, they’re all recon mercs who have a variety of gadgets to track and confuse the enemy team.

Hope that helps!

To be honest, which mercs are better for objective- or support-xp shouldn’t be a question, if you are playing and watching the game. If not, read above…
But a truthfull answer… the mercs played by teamplayers are probably support classed, the mercs played by teamplayers not caring about their stats, even if they’re 0/20 are probably objective-classes :wink:

Edith: Yes, there’re probably very skilled assault-class-players around, but they are a minority on pubs atm, which I take as an example. Comp-players should know it doesn’t matter, if you win :wink:

This is a good classification.
