Wait so is Volti's Thunderstorm ability just a free kill button?

Like what's the counterplay? It out ranges a Guardian ability and deals an insane amount of damage.

I thought you could hide under a roof or something, but nah. It just kills you.

At most, you can run to a nearby ally, to share the damage or something? But I dont want my ally to suffer because of me.

Also on a 2v2 hanger showdown, it literally doesnt matter. Its a free kill. Whats the actual point?

Mech Review - Parasite

slurp kings back✌️

parasite is a heavy tank which is mainly used for rushing and ambushing opponents. it has a pretty unique ability where you connect to an enemy and you get reduced damage, and some percent of the damage taken is transferred to that connected enemy/host. the damage taken is VERY small so you can consider your self invincible untill the host mech dies.

it is a pretty balanced mech so i doubt it will get a nerf, it does have direct counters like outlaw, guardian are also effective as they can use system crash on the connected mech to disengage the ability.

its a versatile mech but weapons that can deal high damage in the duration of the ability work best. here are MY top ones:

  1. charge rockets: great in 2v2s, parasite is already pretty fast for a tank, so the boost gives a good advantage, the reload mechanism can be hard for mobile players but its manageable. it also works in cpc as well as 5v5 for ambushing and getting control points.

  2. storm racks: high burst damage, work at long range, you can close up on enemies to deal back damage too, works good with the ability. can reload and release the magazine 2 times if you have legendary reload in the duration of ability.

  3. compound beams: these can be good if used properly, the range isnt much but are good in small cpc maps, 5v5 and FFA as well as HS, can alternate to deal constant damage and great for taking down bots.

  4. revokers: similar to compound beams but range is a problem, mainly good in 5v5, FFA and HS.

  5. gemini: these can be ride or die but IMO geminis work great, you can stick up to the enemies and they cant even do anything if ur connected to them, the dps is great and because of mod nerf its easier to take down layers, this build is great in HS as a lacewing counter.

(special mentions: howlers are great in small maps, the short reload works nice with the ability and it has pretty good damage, but range and aiming can be difficult for some people.

burrow beams also work great but id prefer charge rockets over it, but if you dont have charge/storms/compounds and want weapon for mid range, burrows will work fine.)

Tips to using Parasite: its better if you select a tank/mech with most of its hp and mods remaining which will take some while to die as your bots are gonna attack it. make sure you dont kill the mech ur connected to and keep a look at your ability duration, if you dont pay attention and go into a crowd, ur gona die instantly if ur ability ends. EXCEPTION: if a mech is ambushing you and you want to deal with it. just connect to it and it cant do anything. watch out for seekers, if u see one save your ability and when it teleports to you just connect to it, because 60% sure ur gona die if you dont have your ability on.

thanks❤️😋

Seeker best weapon

I'm currently trying burrow beams and revokers 12, sometimes bit hit and miss tbh might be a skill issue , I see lot of people using Repeaters are these a better choice for this mech ?

Stupid Lightning Ability needs to go

Uncounterable things like that are so stupid... I merc'd a team on death match first round, and then they all used that ability on me next 2 rounds and i couldn't fight back.

One more for my collection... What have I done 😭

to be fair, I have no mechs that would be suitable for Quasher 6, as I already have the 16 on the Orion. I just wanted Bouncecritter for the lols, and to get a P2W weapon without spending. All I need now is the 16. Now 2 steps left:

  1. with these weapons shown, which are worth it for me to use? I currently have Gemini 8s on Hemlock, Quasher on Orion, Charge rocket 10 and Hornet 10 on Mimicker, Burrow Beam 10 and 8 on Citadel, and Versa 8s on Aegis

  2. I'll wait for all of you to tell me I'm wrong in the comments, and also wait for the mods to take this post down, as despite having a genuine question, the mods think it's a 'look at what I got!' post. Which it's not.

I wasted another percious tournament ticket (^-^)/

Yes... I know I only captured 2 points... but I KILLED ALL THE ENEMIES APPROACHING THE CENTER, THE STUPID TEAMMATE WOULD JUST STAY IN THE BACK THE WHOLE TIME WITH SAVANTS and look, he only made 1 kill despite giving up everything for it 💔

u/Only_Breadfruit_1741 — 21 hours ago

Any changes you guys 🫵suggest?

Should I get Railgun 8 and Storm Rack 6 I feel like that would help my Lacewing out. I just unlocked tier 5 gearhub for Railgun 8 and am saving up, I will get Railgun 8 and then Storm Racks (willing to change depending on what you guys suggest).
