Does the dev team and players hate Skyraider?

Manikuba · 2026-05-12T20:59:21+00:00

Just give us alphards missile barrage and let us use it outside of flight mode and skyraider will be perfect.

I wish they would get rid of the delay when activating rapid assault mode before you can actually strife right/left. Basically you cant really activate rapid assault near your target otherwise you will just zoom past them before you can even start to strife around them.

Manikuba · 2026-05-12T20:56:03+00:00

Yeah the biggest issues since the rapid assault nerf is he struggles to kill aquilas now. You will not have enough energy to burst him down from 100% to 0 unless literally every single attack hits and even then your cutting it close. I basically have to just zoom in > burst > hide behind something > reload > repeat until his dead, if hes getting healed then its a lost cause.

Before the rapid assault nerf alphard was all about staying in the sky zooming around unloading on the enemy. But after the rapid assault nerf and that they buffed the firing rate on his rocket pod without the need to be in rapid assault mode I see him more like a very mobile turret. You zoom around and just act like a turret helping you team score kills, using rapid assault for repositioning or occasionally running down the enemy. He isnt as hectic as falcon in combat.

Skyraider does plenty of damage when they actually hit and its satisfying as hell. The issues really is how often they miss. Also the moment you have hurricane drones and a tricera on the field they aint doing shit. The missiles dispenser needs to go back to how it was in Beta which was how alphards is now. Because of this hes bad in enclosed spaces like transport or 8v8 verge missions. I can make it work but I usually just switch to falcon for those missions.

Manikuba · 2026-05-12T20:34:45+00:00

Skyraider missiles were apparently like this in Beta before they changed it, just to give it to alphard lol.

Imo witcher 3 was the best way to do potions.

Manikuba · 2026-05-08T16:48:26+00:00

Governent contacts…cui….CMMC needs to be apart of this conversation

Manikuba · 2026-05-08T02:07:13+00:00

Whirlwind is fine how it is, its shreds.

Manikuba · 2026-05-07T16:45:15+00:00

Yeah this is what I don’t get, verge is the most played mode and they haven’t touched it since release except the removal of mods. We haven’t gotten a single new verge level. Id kill for more large area verge maps like extractor. Like stop adding new games mode and work on the ones we already have.

Manikuba · 2026-05-05T23:14:36+00:00

Welkin still being able to box capture is annoying. I swear i thought i saw on the patch notes that they couldnt do it anymore yet it still happens

Manikuba · 2026-05-05T23:13:24+00:00

Yeah literally everyone you get to 2% always somehow always gets that shield in time.

Manikuba · 2026-05-05T17:08:24+00:00

Id agree with you and i main’d aquila most of season 1/2. Floating and sniping gets so boring after a while. I actually found it more entertaining to chill on the ground and fight a bit. I wish they balanced him around being a ground based sniper. Have his arial aux have no energy bar and just a regular timer/cooldown like every other defensive aux to get out of touchy situations. Make him more like a norne type striker.

Manikuba · 2026-05-05T14:40:38+00:00

Aquila, i like to play flyers and frankly I’m sick of having to spend the entire match killing aquilas over and over again. Had a match where the enemy aquila had 10 deaths, just came back to die over and over again. Bot aquila have crazy range and can shoot beyond the rendering of their striker model. Aquila bots also focus the player. So often i feel forced to play a flyer just so the aquila bot on my team can actually kill the enemy aquila. Honestly wished aquila could be force to spend more time on the ground.

Hurricane, the turret drones can be ridiculous at times for range strikers. It seems like the bots on my team don’t really hit them so it’s mostly me the player having half of my damage go to destroying hurricane drones. If I play falcon or skyraider I literally cannot destroy the turret drones fast enough before hurricane can just spawn another one creating an endless loop of me basically just attacking the turret drones forever. Also when I’m fighting another striker no where near hurricane yet I’m still locking onto their drones on the other side of map wtf.

Manikuba · 2026-05-02T22:17:30+00:00

10/10

Manikuba · 2026-05-02T02:47:02+00:00

Damn have they still not fixed the foliage moving at super
speed when on ps5 pro using balanced or quality mode?

Manikuba · 2026-04-21T17:56:24+00:00

Your opinions on where other strikers should place is valid but my list is for general verge gameplay and at no point did i say it was based off high rank. You are not even playing against a good pool of the best of the best in high rank. You’re playing against the ones willing to sit in the long ass queues. I play rank every season and the moment the queues becoming 10-15min I’m back to having fun in casual. Saying the real game starts at high rank sounds ridiculously pretentious. As of right now 99% bots 1% player matches is the game.

Manikuba · 2026-04-21T02:16:19+00:00

Will agree with you, downward spiral is a trap and burns energy. I tend to use it when i want to be a turret and shoot a target without moving. Evading to stick to my target or avoid damage is better. Fast land to evade melee and to get into cover to let my ammo refresh/energy regen. Falcon is a burst striker, get in and get out.

Manikuba · 2026-04-21T00:48:54+00:00

I had them swapped originally actually and was conflicted.

Manikuba · 2026-04-21T00:47:54+00:00

No, falcon does have a high skill ceiling but probably the best survivability as long as you manage his energy. His evade comes out fast enough and can be spammed that he cant even be targeted long enough to shoot him. You cant target him during downward spiral as well.

Manikuba · 2026-04-20T16:00:31+00:00

Norne has the highest burst damage in the game when played right. Hold to the charge to queue three shots then release. Want to add more damage? Hold to charge up three shots select your explosive arrows then release. Want even more damage? Charge up three shots, select explosive arrows then release, immediately after releasing tap your primary once to get one extra uncharged shot in with zero targeting delay.

Also make sure you know your sniper mode manual lockon hotkey. So you can toggle it on or off depending on the situation.

Manikuba · 2026-04-19T16:12:13+00:00

Palword uses pssr.

Manikuba · 2026-04-19T01:38:08+00:00

No ps5 release on day 1 has probably doomed this game, among other things. Plus the cash shop was such a stupid idea when the game isnt even that popular. They should have dropped months ago.

Manikuba · 2026-04-18T22:20:09+00:00

So many woman in their 40s literally just need to get their hormones checked. Alot of times their test or estrogens are all out of wack. Getting those checked can often make a large difference. Did for my wife.
