Which starting character did you pick?

Really curious to find out which of the three starting characters you picked for your squad at the beginning of the game. Convenient poll at the top of this post.

Also, was there a particular reason for your choice (perhaps the look of the character, the special abilities, or the equipped weapon)?

I picked Sneaky Pete because I’m a sucker for long-range pew pew. :smiley:

I chose tim and he’s all right I’d say the best out of all of them

I went for Pete who is good, but maybe after having played a bit longer would have gone for Tim as I think the best sniper is Juan (who I have since got).

I went with Tim. Than regretted it, because engineers are horrible in this game. Should have went with Sneaky Pete.

I picked Pete because I wasn’t keen on Engineers and Angela still had a 1-tile heal radius at the time; he’s been on the bench a lot because Juan is still the numerically best Agent. Tim and Angela actually aren’t that bad with the new weapons both classes have received, which is really nice for the newer players… provided they don’t send them to their deaths in 26 point matches right off the bat.

Angela Merci for me. Utility all the waay!

Well if I ever get the chance to play this game I think I would give Engineer a shot first. :stroggtapir:

Just a tip for people. * spoiler allert*

if you like playing aggressiv i’d pick the AGENT since his range is quite nice.
if you play more defensive the agent is also fine but the medic is way better for defense.
the engi is a bit of both… he may place a turret (with 150 hp) which he may heal for 50 each turn once, which can attack each turn AFTER the set once for 5-8dmg x 4hits and autoattacks for the same once on enemy turn when they move into range. his weapon meanwhile is best in melee.

if you want to have the most choices in playing different each game you may wanna pick the engi because you’ll else have to wait untill you have the money… your commander may choose an ability( you get one of currently 8 abilitys every 2 levels) and he also has healing (once per round for 50) and artillery (about 50dmg 3x3 aoe on long range or so)
well… if you will play alot with your friends / against the same enemy youll probably dont wanna sit there 2,3 or 4 games with the same build and perform the same play… but i dont know :slight_smile:
