Wow! Sounds great! Does her Wow Pow work well on Forest Ninja?

I don't own S2, but I'd imagine it'd be better with Pook Blade.

It's been mentioned before that Stealth Elf's Wow Pow is essentially useless on Pook Blade Saint, as it is actually a worse attack than some of her melee combo finishers on that path.
The Wow Pow is more useful for Forest Ninja as it provides strong melee move (for that path, anyway) that can be used a reliable method of attack.

ha, it seems we are talking about my type!
her wow pow is great wen u use it right, like: go stand near a anemy and make sure the sunblades hit on pbs , if not, the macik swords are the only ones dealing dmagege and thats not wat u want, her wow pow on forest nija seems more worth it for me anothe rgood one is : keep running cirlckles around your foe and make sure you keep hitting the first attack , it will be a 100+hit in around1/2 min, or even less, another good one is: the one with the sceracrowns, just keep spamming these if anyone else has a question about stragegies, i am hppy to hel out! |

Yay!! But does S1 Bash need not to be in S tier with S2?I own S1 and he's never been beaten.I have put him up against S2 Double Trouble and he did well, but lost.
P.S This is down Granite Dragon

^ He is still great, but not quite S-Tier. He doesn't have much too rely on other than spamming his Tail Swipe. His Gaia Hammer is unwieldy and hard to hit the opponent with. Granted, when it does hit, it does 240 damage. His roll is rather meh on this path, and only really is used for speed. His Stone Projection is okay, but you're just better off spamming Tail Swipe, which just isn't S-Tier. He is good, but not amazing.

S1 Granite Dragon Bash was not in S tier in the first game, so I can't see him being in S tier this time around.

Could Voodood Elemantalist be moved up to B or A tier please?
Pros: Can lure opponents into traps, Can also trick opponents by making another wire and exploding the other, Does 60-90 damage, With Soul Gem, can block shots(e.g. LRs lightning bolts) Can be placed nearly anywhere in the arena and Voodood can keep moving after placing Tripwires. He does great in Battle Mode and should really be in B tier. Consider this please.

^Agreed, B-Tier sounds reasonable. He excels against Meleers due to his decent up-close damage output, and his ability to attack his opponents when they attack him. Can't word that properly, but I think you know what I mean! His axe has incredible range, too.

#2461 Posted: 18:10:41 20/06/2013 | Topic Creator
It's an interesting proposition but i'm still feeling unsure about a few things...
Are we moving Voodood up because his axe damage is decent enough for him to function as Marauder-lite? Or is it because his tripwires are actually more functional as an offensive move than we realise? If so, you're going to have to explain to me in what way you're actually using the tripwires: Are you deploying them up close like a melee attack or something like that? because from my experience, the tripwires essentially never work as actual traps; any experienced opponent will simply avoid walking in to them entirely. There may be odd occasions where opponents are forced to walk into them, or where you can use them to hedge opponents into certain areas that give you an advantage, but these situations are few and far between. The tripwires are also deployed slowly, leaving Voodood very open to attack when he tries to use them. You also need to tell me how Elementalist actually performs against individual characters within the B and A Tiers.

I'll try some more testing on him then, but what about Drobot's Wow Pow?! I heard he was released in the U.S., so we should test him first!

#2463 Posted: 21:09:54 20/06/2013
^ The closest description I can give with regards to S2 Drobot's Wow Pow is that it's a lot like a Tech version of Lightning Rod's Grand Lightning. Remote controlled attack, damage in the 20s (per tick), can hit the same target multiple times per use, and sadly, interruptable with any hit. Master Blaster really has no use for it aside from forcing campers out from behind walls, but I could see Clockwork Dragon getting some mileage out of it.

I think it was doing 28 on Clockwork and 21 on Blaster, but I could be wrong. There does appear to be a difference of a few points per tick, though. |

That's the same damage the bladegears do on the corresponding paths. Which path do you prefer at the end of the day? |
Tashiji Yellow Sparx Gems: 1453 |
#2470 Posted: 20:16:54 21/06/2013
Even factoring in the Bladegear, I still have to go with Master Blaster. In the end, a 21 damage Ultimate Bladegear is close enough to its 28-damage counterpart, but Master Blaster's lasers are leagues better than Clockwork's. Nevertheless, it's still more of an actual debate than it was before, and Clockwork is certainly improved quite a bit thanks to his Wow Pow.

If you've used Lightning Lord Lightning Rod's Grand Lightning, you know what to expect; the two attacks are almost identical in speed and means of control. If not, it's a medium-speed attack that is pretty easy to maneuver.

My brother recently reset our Sprocket, putting her on the Wrench/Mine path, and it's actually really good! Though the animation may not show it, Power Surge actually hits a large, 360 degree radius. And mine-spamming works fairly well.

The only bad downside to Operator is that you can only have 5 Mines active at a time. There really should've been an upgrade to increase the amount of Mines active at once. I personally love her Power Surge Combo!

He should stay in A-Tier I believe. Exactly the same case with Stealth Elf. They knew they were overpowered, they nerfed them, and gave them mediocre Wow Pows.

Okay, so in regards to Series 2 Drobot it's looking like S2 Master Blaster should go in A Tier where S1 is.
Should S2 Clockwork Dragon go where S1 currently is in B Tier, or does it deserve to move up to A Tier?

I think it should stay at B tier. While the controllable bladegear does a lot of damage in a short amount of time, it leaves Drobot vulnerable to attack.

I'd say we're very almost done with this tier list, but not quite: There are just a couple of small suggestions that were brought up that have been left undiscussed.
The ones i've found so far are two suggestions Tashiji made on the previous page: Moving Hot Head/ Oil Baron down to B Tier and moving Pop Fizz / Best of the Beast down to D Tier. You can read his reasoning in the quote below. Quote:
Do provide your thoughts if you have any after reading the quote above. I also seem to remember a suggestion made a long, long while ago about Zap. I don't remember the exact details, but it got to the stage where I needed to hear support from one more person before I moved one of Zap's paths somewhere, but then we all forgot about it and moved on to something else. I've done some searching for it already, but i'll try again later.

^I Am all in for Pop Fizz down to D-Tier. I gave my arguments for him a couple pages back, too lazy to find them at the moment.
For Hot Head, will B-Tiers be able to take down a Giant? I know we have Bouncer Robot Rocketeer in B-Tier, but all-in-all Bouncer is a vulnerable Giant. His Sizzle Shower has a decent range and ticks quite rapidly. I am unsure about this one.

What about S1 Drobot Master blaster going to B tier. Really, he's just a nerfed projectile character, with ranged power being the only thing he really has going for him.

For Drobot / Master Blaster, you'll have to tell me how well he competes against the rest of the A Tier by comparison to how he competes against the rest of the B Tier. We should keep in mind that although he feels nerfed and weak in the A Tier, he may still be just a little too strong for the B Tier.

Concerning Jet-Vac... I wonder if anyone plays him the same way I do?

I've tried both for him, and I really had a hard time deciding which is better.
I think Marauder is better by a smidge. |
BladeSorcerer Green Sparx Gems: 229 |
#2500 Posted: 10:11:08 14/07/2013
Marauder is probably a lot better because of the 42 damage per hit axe swings. I don't think Elementalist is bad, though. But it is hard to ignore how well the Soul Gem works with it...
Wait...is this the 2500th post? If it is, I think I might just have closed the topic. EDIT: Whew...it didn't close. |
