Who should i buy next ?


(Freezer_Boss) #1

Thunder, Redeye or Sparks ? (Not sure for kira cuz i already have all the other fire supports)

Kira for a very effective Chapel character.
Wouldn’t recommend Thunder, bit too flaky in his current condition.
Redeye’s nice if you can snipe or handle the Dreiss. Especially useful on Bridge.
And Sparks is only fun when you’ve got really good aim.

At your service.

I can only recommend not buying Redeye, as he will be free for a full week very soon. As @Matuno said, Sparks is only good if you have good aim, but this is not entirely true. She is still a great medic even if your aim isn’t that great. One of the most annoying (for the enemy) playstyles of Sparks is hanging back and having a pre-charged Revivr shot ready to be fired instantly as a teammate dies. This playstyle doesn’t require too much skill. Just pick a buddy, preferably one of the tankier mercs (as 90% of the time, by the time it takes for an enemy to kill a tank, they have no ammo to finish them off when they’re down, resulting in a free revive) and follow them around.

If, however, your aim is above average, she can be considered an Offensive Medic if you have the right set of skills (Good movement, map knowledge, time management, aim).

As for Thunder, the reversed situation will often yield great results (having a friendly Sparks pocket-medic you). Thunder is basically the 1v1 champion, being very hard to take down by yourself. This makes him very good for holding off important choke points in dangerous situations (post-plant situations).

Buy according to your playstyle / preference.

A good Sparks can carry a team. Your team will always love you if you choose Sparks. Snipers don’t get treated so well and Thunder isn’t in a great spot right now.

All three have a somehwat higher skillcap. Thunder is prolly the easiest because you got lots of hp and the MK46 really hurts and isnt that hard to use. (In regard of spread/recoil etc.)

Kira is good if youre fine with Burst Rifles, because without a good aim youre pretty screwed playing her because she has only 90 health and is therefor in an disadvantage in close® fights with anyone that has more hp than her. (Except maybe Vassili) The laser however makes up for it and is prolly the best air support ability in terms of killing potentional because its way harder to evade than an airstrike from arty/skyhammer and has an overall vast (however shaped) area it can cover. (And it can work as temporal area denial to cut paths or cover c4 like stokers fire can)

In the end its up to you what you enjoy the most to get that time till the next 50k credits covered.

Sparks is the best reviver but not the best medic. I main sparks and I do way more xp as phoenix for healing than revive with sparks. A good sparks can revive a full team of squishy mercs but can’t top heal tankiers one. If you play in pair with a sawbones or phoenix, you can lead your team to victory easily. If you have a (very) good aim, you can use her as offensive, but it’s very difficult.
Redeye is easy (Pdp in smoke) but not as efficient for the team, and is often a pain for the team because of bad placed smokes. His spotting ability is not that good in comparison of vassili’s and aimee’s.
Thunder is funny to use if you play with a sawbones or an aura and a fire support (who gives ammo), but is very hard to use because his ability is not well balanced and bugged. But with a good aim, his mk46 is a lethal weapon on concussed ennemies.

Out of all the mercs you stated, Kira is the safest option. She is fast, has unlimited ammo, really good burst rifles and a space laser.

A space laser alone would make you buy her. Even though it is really impractical in indoor maps like underground, you can always defend the c4 platform on the final stage, which is a huge advantage.

I believe you have tried out sparks and thunder as they are or have been in free rotation. Red-eye and kira will be available on a few days so you can see for yourself.

And oh, by the way support #teamkawaii

Thanks all for your suggestions (:3)
I think my final choice will be Sparks
Reasons: (Russian waifu :wink: ) Fast, Teh reviver epic meme ahem.373 suspect card.ahem.. As all said, she is a skill-based merc, and challenge is my best friend in games. For me, she is teh perfect pocket medic for other squeashy mercs. And everybody loves sparks :smiley:
