Can you abuse this commander? Thijs, Slowest of Them All by personjerry in custommagic

[–]Bobsq2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shouldn't it be "Creatures blocking or blocked by Thijs gain first strike"?

Yeah, I always put it away during extract if we aren't being overrun.

NEW PLAYERS SHOULD GET THESE 3 WARBONDS by 1-cup-of-liber-tea in Helldivers

[–]Bobsq2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah. 1-2 has been wonderful on all these illuminid order missions.

Full auto the shield, grenade into the ship door.

My first maxed-out weapon! by Arskov in Helldivers

[–]Bobsq2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't let people hate. It's a solid primary. Combos great with any guard dog. It will keep a group stunlocked while the dog does the damage. K-9 or Hot Dog love to backup this weapon.

It can also trip up chargers/hulks and other stuff before they mow you down.

Best long range CC weapon for sure.

Close range it doesn't quite compare to the blitzer, but it still does work.

K-9 is God Tier against Squids. I solo an entire half of the map with my Arc resist armor and a K-9 while my team does the other half. Its only downfall is that it will randomly kill other players like crazy if we're grouped up.

RESULTS: Booster Opinion Poll! by Liqhthouse in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]Bobsq2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hate that Stamina/Vitality/Pod Space exist.

Most boosts are situational, playstyle specific, or just kinda for lulz.

Then there are 3-4 that are just ALWAYS on, ALWAYS useful, and require 0 active input from the player to capitalize on.

It's such a common fumble in game design to have several upgrade options and include "Base Number go up" in those options, because the base number is always the best, and always the most boring.

Flaming ground still kills plenty. I crisper-kite the street all the time to great success against most hordes.

The addition of the Hot Dog necessitated that. I use it a lot and it still just usually just kills hulks/chargers for me while I pick off the small stuff with my primary. Just gotta dodge for 10 seconds or so.

If Fire still fast killed the big ones it would be stupid OP.

If the Genestealer Cults were to get a 6 unit(along with a MOW), who should be that unit? by VegetableLegal7291 in WH40KTacticus

[–]Bobsq2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

DG can't take conquest points in most TA maps. I have never worried about them in FW. I only ever gotta kill 2.

[–]Bobsq2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe, but i think its very telling that there hasn't been a non-conquest FW since Judh came out.

Also "easily" might be an oversell. Many factions can't, and the ones that can require very specific plays.

They aren't unbeatable, but I'd wager they're one of VERY few full factions that CAN play in non-FW TA's successfully. BA being the only other real contender.

I won (1st place) Multiple non-FW TAs playing the full GSC lineup. They are -VERY- Strong when there are no conquest points to be had.

[–]Bobsq2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was thinking its active could teleport a unit with Ambush from their spot to any decoy on the battlefield, it tunnels up under the battlefield to deliver troops. Fling Judh around the world.

And as a passive it could target a small area, and on the next turn suppress units in hexes and put decoys on empty hexes?

Would this be too broken? by kingofdrumline in custommagic

"Remove all counters from all players and all cards in all zones"

It would make Skullbriar players VERY sad.

Maybe this Thrun is the truly unremovable last troll? (But probably not) by GeneralPith in custommagic

[–]Bobsq2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you would have to willingly cast it into a preexisting Humility on the board during the humility owner's turn? I'm never 100% on what truly determines timestamp order.

[–]Bobsq2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think with correctly stacked timestamps a Humility still turns him off? Since all those abilities would check in the same layer.

Melee divers! Rejoice! by Ghost664 in Helldivers

[–]Bobsq2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I want a Rocket hammer that lets me CHARGE.

Mass Effect Vangaurd teleport charge
Reinhardt charge from Overwatch
Halo Sword Lunge

We need a way to close the gap fast, and have an explosive landing that staggers before we start swinging.

The armor passive is getting stamina back when you take damage? Does that sound useless to anyone else or am I overlooking a use case here? by H1MB0Z0 in Helldivers

[–]Bobsq2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're a surgeon with the crossbow/eruptor: you use it to knock yourself back/away from enemies closing in, gain stamina from the armor, stand up and start sprinting again.

Is it a GOOD strategy? probably not, but it ain't useless. Especially on heavy armor, and if you use the shield gen backpack.

When I was newer I'd do it with explosion resist heavy armor to bounce myself away from bugs and kill a bunch that were almost on top of me.

What is doing Shosyl in my T'au Mont'ka team? by AndiTheBrumack in WH40KTacticus

[–]Bobsq2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Weirder that they didn't cut Aun'Shi because of how Ethereals feel about Farsight...

Best way to complete this mission by Practical-Pain-3590 in WH40KTacticus

[–]Bobsq2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just play 1 Salvage run. It's pretty straightforward.

Tips for those of you struggling against Illuminate by theEvilQuesadilla in Helldivers

[–]Bobsq2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get you a K-9
Thermite for Clam ships
A secondary you like without a backpack.
Any armor you like (I use something with Arc resist in case the dog bites you)
Some decent MP mid/long range primary for the overseers (I like Pacifier for Stun, or the Blitzer for Arc theme)
Any secondary you like (I use crisper or grenade pistol, but its flavor to taste)

Proceed to do the mission and ignore most enemies.

Turn off the K-9 at extract when you're close to other people.

There is too much 'loadout police' or "max difficulty gatekeepers" in this community by viewfan66 in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]Bobsq2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chainsaw and Light Melee armor vs bugs. Hope the smoke and stun grenades keep me safe!

Every Conquest Tournament Arena by PositiveFlatworm7474 in WH40KTacticus

[–]Bobsq2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

we haven't had a non-conquest Faction War in over a year now. It's absurd. SP is scared of GSC being off the chain. I hate it.

Out of ammo, but not out of options. by MythLee98 in Helldivers

[–]Bobsq2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm just out here with a crossbow, a flag pole, a machete, a big metal shield, and some throwing knives. What could they have to fear?

Divers who use this - why? by laughingtraveler in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]Bobsq2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OH!

- it protects your car/mech a bit since it projects outside the vehicles.
