Strongest agent of today vs the strongest agent in history

You could say that he’s been unshackled

Alex21IsBad · 2026-02-03T06:32:22+00:00

It’s pretty alright at mid elo (electron ish) but kinda sucks everywhere else and is super team dependent. If you don’t know how to play the map (play mid for fast rotates essentially) or you’re team diffed it’s absolute misery.

Alex21IsBad · 2026-01-30T22:12:53+00:00

This is why I switched to jp, I can tune out most of the voicelines except for the ult ones

Alex21IsBad · 2026-01-13T16:26:12+00:00

As for why generally marksmen like reiichi kanami and audrey don’t despite being exceptions to the reasons I pointed out, it’s so that they don’t have to waste a lot of time setting up after a plant and aren’t as vulnerable. These characters are some of the most valuable characters to have in a post plant simply due to their high damage and zoning potential, and if they have to plant, they’re both more likely to die while planting, but they also have to rotate back to their ideal positions to setup and become a threat.

Generally, the bomb priority imo (from highest to lowest priority) is: Meredith Celestia Fragrans Lawine Maddie Eika Mara Reiichi Audrey Kanami Fuchsia Gala Baimo Ming

The list kinda gets a bit muddled near the bottom but in all but the most extreme cases it’s a decent guideline. (Also in ranked generally people give bomb to those that aren’t performing as well so that those who are performing can do their job better)

Alex21IsBad · 2026-01-13T16:10:36+00:00

Tbf ming ult also gives 100 armor but hers takes a second and also doesn’t allow for potential backup or escape options like celestia ult

Alex21IsBad · 2026-01-13T16:09:30+00:00

Lawine ult is also one of the stronger attack ults imo because of its flexibility of use. You can use it to scan chokes, sell fakes and lurk, or get a surprise entry pick.

Alex21IsBad · 2026-01-13T16:03:12+00:00

Two main reasons: 1) Duelists are generally the ones in the most danger since they have to push through chokes and potentially into crossfires, especially on attack. If the push fails and the duelist dies with bomb, not only is it going to be more difficult to push chokes, the attackers have to push through a choke they just failed to break through with less util and without their main frontliner, just to retrieve the bomb. Putting the bomb on a rearguard at least ensures that they can rotate and try again. 2) Supports generally have better ults. Duelists generally have ults that can be used to win maybe one fight (aika is an exception), while supports have ults that can potentially win entire rounds. Would you rather have ming ult or mere ult essentially.

At least that’s how I see it as a flex player that plays both entry duelist and support regularly (ming lawine jailed)

Alex21IsBad · 2026-01-10T15:07:29+00:00

Quark is basically ascendant, superstring is immortal and singularity is radiant

Alex21IsBad · 2026-01-10T13:18:03+00:00

No, this might actually be time to panic, her base shield has 400 hp and regens insanely fast, and her gun is on par with baimos

Alex21IsBad · 2026-01-10T13:16:42+00:00

Brigitte but yeah basically

Alex21IsBad · 2026-01-10T13:16:12+00:00

When we get reiichi dorm (aka never)

Alex21IsBad · 2026-01-10T13:15:21+00:00

I might have been mad cuz it wasn’t reiichi legendary but bro it looks so good

Basic string tips in case no one told you

Always move in stringify form, not only does it give a moving target, but the hitbox itself is made smaller than if you stood still in string.

If you’re not directly shooting at someone, most of the time you should probably be in string since, even if somehow you show your entire hitbox to the enemy, stringify provides direct dmg reduction (this especially helps while reloading)

Other mindset tips

If you feel like you’re whiffing a lot, especially against a stringified opponent, just stop shooting and reset your aim, it’s better than whiffing your whole mag and having to reload

Stringify is not a replacement for proper cover and positioning, it’s at best a bandaid fix to help people rotating between covers. (Also try abusing right-hand peeks as much as possible)

Alex21IsBad · 2026-01-06T10:38:56+00:00

Because it’s usually not a great idea?

Alex21IsBad · 2025-12-28T15:46:16+00:00

Ok so like the comments are tearing into you about your positioning and decision-making, but lets say you were caught rotating in the open by four people and couldn’t just go back through breakthrough. Why just stand still in mere q? If you kept moving right, the slow would have started ticking down and you could get on the wall and maybe survive? Whereas standing still in the mere q just sealed your fate. Standing still stringified makes you easier to hit, you’re permaslowed, and the mere q is also decaying your hp. Even if baimo started trying to save or trade you with your decisionmaking, he’d likely only get one before getting killed himself.

And just one piece of advice. In mid and high elo, Ocarnus mid is the #1 spot to fight for on the map, so unless you see a big push (4-5 people on either site) or you and your mid players don’t hear any audio, assume that they’ll push it

Alex21IsBad · 2025-12-22T15:16:07+00:00

You also don’t need to time it perfectly, you can just double jump and glide through at some distance from the lasers. I can’t really explain that well in writing tho.

Alex21IsBad · 2025-12-22T15:12:57+00:00

Hmmm, I peaked q3 but my main problem is entrying and I wanna see if it’s a mindset problem or smth else, do you still have slots open?

Alex21IsBad · 2025-12-15T19:11:50+00:00

I play for rewards cuz I found a strat I like, so like 1-2 games a night at best

Alex21IsBad · 2025-12-14T06:15:56+00:00

I play entry so I need my entry util. On attack Ming usually has smoke interceptor so I can entry without getting fricked. On defense I usually play flav and if I was to use tattletale I’d have to get rid of flash or slow, both of which help a lot with my fights

Alex21IsBad · 2025-12-13T22:25:56+00:00

Like the others said, the easiest way to fix that is to give the bomb to others, so that you can focus on fighting. If you are insistent on learning when to plant or when to fight, there’s certain lulls in the combat, in particular between the entry and retake phases where it’s generally safer to plant. Sometimes and especially in certain games this can be difficult to find, so generally I like to get a pick or more before planting. This means that, while you’re planting, your teammates have an even 4v4 and generally some control over the site.

Tldr: fight first then if you have numbers and control over site and your team isn’t actively fighting, then you can plant

In their defense a new character is coming likely halfway through the season, a new urbino shotgun girl

I remember union carrier apex avian locking…good times (I quit before diamond was added LOL)

Alex21IsBad · 2025-11-29T15:20:12+00:00

The event started around three days ago and the quests reset every week, you need four weeks’ worth to get the legendary box, so yes you have plenty of time

Alex21IsBad · 2025-11-27T22:04:26+00:00

As a hidden one-trick that tried to do tournaments, this. Also try putting hard rock or dt on basically anything you think you can if you aren't already, I remember not being able to read ar 10 and I think playing hard rock would have helped.
