What path is better for Pop Fizz? I am on Best of Beast but I really would like to try the other path. Is it better?

Same for Jet Vac. I have Bird Blaster but is the other better? Cuz right now he just isn't looking up to my expectations.

#353 Posted: 23:43:10 13/11/2012
It trueley depends on whether you like potions or beast mode. Bird blaster is better the other path is a disappointement.

Flashwing: Definetly pick The Tail Shooter path! The projectiles now STICK in the wall and shoot rapid fire! They also heal you 5 HP and with three you get 15 restored every two seconds! Amazing!

Camo: Melon Master. (Xbox 360) I love the raw power!

Warnado: I picked the tornado path! I admit I haven't been able to play due to being grounded (Thanks Mom!) but it looks good!

L-Jet Vac: Bird Blaster! I love shooting!

Crusher: Hammer Daddy! 50 HP each hit! Can't get stronger Dan dat!

L-Slamm Bam: Blizzard Brawler. Same as S1

S2 Gill Grunt: WW. I tried and loved it!

Chill: Ice Lancer.

S2 Hex: Bone Crafter or nothing.

Sprocket: Operator. Not my fav charcter but this path is best.

S2 Double Trouble: Channeler or DIE!!!

L- Ignitor: Blademaster/SoF. I prefer Blademaster as said before, but SoF is good on him.

Tree Rex: Treefolk Charger!

That's my collection !!!!!

@ whoever on page before this; Combos, Pwer, and awesomeness are what make Blademaster better and funner!

Awesomeness isn't really a good reason and if you're going for power you'd be on SotF.

Sounds like you just like combos. I can understand that. Sometimes I want to forego gimmicky paths to have some actual combat.
Tashiji Yellow Sparx Gems: 1453
#356 Posted: 03:39:57 14/11/2012
Blademaster is still objectively worse than Soul of the Flame, but with the sword physics fixes and how his Wow Pow interacts with sword slams, both charged and the Combo C version, it's nowhere near as bad as it used to be. Maybe more akin to choosing Brawler or Clockwork Dragon; worse, but workable.

Yes. Wind Master is awful. Eye Of The Storm is a high-versatility path that gives Warnado a lot of unique stuff to do, while Wind Master struggles at using his attack at all. From my Tier Clarifications thread what I found was...
Quote:
Warnado(Wind Master): Wind Master is placed as low as he is for being incredibly one-sided to use and not very good at it. He has trouble with almost anything so most victories with him will be flukes. His tornado aiming is interruptible and attacks slowly, he has no reliable option for escape, and he fails at using anything other than the attack he was named after- which, as an attack, just wasn't that great in the first place. Against equally skillful players, every ranged character defeats him like a wet paper towel and most Meleeists are easily able to close in on him without getting hurt at all.

And all the same applies to Story though to a lesser extent as that's more forgiving anyway.

#360 Posted: 12:22:09 14/11/2012
^ I prefer Wind Master, the tornadoes are amazing, I hate Eye Of The Storm, in PvP, Eye Of The Storm is much worse, her quote on Wind Master is right for PvP, not story, and Eye Of The Storm is worse in PvP.
Nibelilt Ripto Gems: 401
#361 Posted: 13:10:49 14/11/2012
The Tornadoes do so little damage though. In a game filled with many characters that easily rack up hundreds of points of damage, a 40-damage move that requires you to hold still to control it, and only launches once at a time, is rather pathetic. And there is NNNOOOOOOOOOOOO way Eye of The Storm is worse in Battle.
weebbby Emerald Sparx Gems: 4220
#362 Posted: 13:19:29 14/11/2012
^ Yes there is, because against most characters you can hardly get close to them to use the spin, and you don't have to control it, just press the secondary attack button, don't hold it.
Nibelilt Ripto Gems: 401
#363 Posted: 13:22:18 14/11/2012
But almost any character can avoid it. Warnado has low speed without the increased friction on his spin, so almost everything can just walk past him. And either way, 40 damage is still pretty low against anything C+ and even against most of D, because the Tornadoes still launch poorly, you can only have one out, and you have literally nothing else to use. He's too much of a one trick pony but he's no good or strong at doing it. There will always be people who can use Wind Master better, but objectively, Eye of The Storm is outright superior because it has a lot of tricks and it's good at using them.

triggernut Emerald Sparx Gems: 3483
#369 Posted: 00:38:42 15/11/2012
For Hothead I went with oil Baron. I find his flame thrower hands to be perfectly fine the way they already are while the fire rain attack screamed for more power. After upgrading the fire rain attack last longer, covers a larger area, and does a lot more damage. Also, the giant fireball you can summon will take out anything in front of you that manages to get through and survive your fire rain.

Reaganag Blue Sparx Gems: 878
#372 Posted: 20:35:30 15/11/2012
But you can barely ever use the oil rain in battle mode unless your facing a melee, and it takes time to use.

Okay, so I got smilie and smilie prior to my receiving of the game. I will most likely get the game on my birthday Friday next week. So I wonder, I know for Sprocket I'm taking the operator path, but Bouncer is still undecided. What do you think I should do for Bouncer?

No... That position will forever be Golden Frenzy Trigger Happy's with Total Tongue Wrecking Ball a close second. I can't say exactly where I think WWW would go perfectly in the grand scheme of things.

In SSA, it would probably be Total Tongue. But in Giants, it would be Golden Frenzy. That is because Giants introduces Bouncer, which is a better Golden Frenzy in every way possible.

Floral Defender is better for zook because the cacti do constant damage to enemies and kill them quick. Or the ememies just walk straight into it and kill themselves while you are blasting them with the bazooka.

I have never tried Hot Head, Lightning Rod, Wham-Shell, Chill, Pop Fizz, Zap, Hex, and Stealth Elf.
Boomer does NOT suck on Clobber Troll.
Camo does NOT suck on either, but I still prefer Melon Master.
Sonic Boom is good on both.
For Flashwing, Super Shards DOES suck.
