![]() This, coupled with the extremely low RoF makes you defenseless until you can shoot again and in constant danger from mobs of weak melee units. Remember also that this weapon has 75% accuracy, which means that, in average, you'll miss a shot every 3. ![]() Only in this case this weapon has an use, but I still rather use the Plasma Rifle and AA missiles. If you absolutely need to use this weapon, then do it in Anvil, at least here there are vehicles to shoot. Higher damage and armor piercing power aren't a good enough trade-off for an extremely low ROF and a terrible range. Couple this weapon with AA missiles if you need even more Armor damage. Just remember than in this way you'll become an extremely squishy target for almost any kind of enemy, especially without Stimulants. With the support of some other hero you'll be able to damage even tougher enemies. You can dispatch almost any non-fearless enemy (which means, almost every one of them, with the exceptions of the Tyranid warrior brood and all the vehicles) in a matter of seconds. When paired with dual-link and a Command Suit, things get much easier. If single-wielded and without the Command Suit, this weapon isn't actually that good: low damage and no armor piercing mean that you'll be taking a long time to kill even lesser foes, let alone bigger enemies. Moreover, if you don't use the NWI (see later) your damage output won't be as high. The drawbacks are an extremely small range (as expected) and little-to-no effect on the most armored enemies. Try to focus it at the beginning of the wave, better if you have a tanky melee character able to keep it occupied.Īgain starting equipment, this flamer is a bane for any kind of light infantry and a threat even for heavier foes thanks to a small armor piercing bonus. Remember that when playing Colosseum your clone will have this weapon as well (obviously) and so it will be extremely dangerous in ranged combat, with a high-damage weapon, high accuracy and huge range. This weapon is also Armor Piercing, which means that it will ignore a good deal of the target's armor, thus dealing more damage even to armored enemies. If you improve the accuracy with the appropriate accessory you will almost never miss even when moving. As you'll see, I use it almost in every build. When twin linked, this weapon becomes even deadlier. High damage, armor piercing, high accuracy and wide range, with this weapon you'll be able to both rack up lots of kills with weaker enemies and take down heavier opponents. Starting equipment, and yet probably the best weapon available. Please be aware of the fact that those below are my opinions about these weapons, so if you don't agree write it down in the comment section. In the weapons section I put every thing that goes in weapon slots, which includes shields and the twin link. I'll just skip the description of the equipment, you can read it in-game. ![]() It will be updated whenever I feel like it. The guide is a work in progress, even though most of it is already where it should. survive longer).Īt the bottom you can find the loadout I've used as well as my tactic when I did the achievement "Tau Efficiency". Moreover, even though this hero is actually pretty easy to start with, you'll need some time before you'll be able to kite effectively (i.e. This also means that Colosseum becomes usually quite harder because your clone is just as good. When things get hot, jump-jump-jump away to safer tides and start shooting again.īear in mind that you're using one of the strongest heroes in the game, which means that matches will become easier and you'll net more kills. How to use this hero? The Tau has to stay in cover until faster melee units reach him, dealing as much ranged damage as possible while the rest of the team either deals with the melee or helps with ranged damage (the Command Suit is just perfect for this). The upper side is the fact that each armor has jets, which allow you to jump around the map with a small expense in energy, thing that will almost always save you in a pinch. This big guy packs a hell of a punch and is probably the best DPS hero in the whole game, but remember that he has 0.0 ( zero) melee damage, as well as armors with lower ratings than those of most of the other heroes. My favorite hero and the only one which I've actually elited 3 times. Thanks anyway for commenting and reading the guide.Īh, the Shas'O Commander. It may still happen that I'll go back to the guide and to this game. Therefore, I am sorry but I won't answer to comments anytime soon. This means that I won't be able to answer to comments as I'd like to, and I'd rather not answer than writing something not tested/made up. I haven't played the game for months now, and I'm not planning to go back to it. I wrote this guide more than one year ago, when I was still playing Retribution seriously.
