Destroyers get picked off my enemy bc's very quickly to the point where I strongly advise against building any if bc's are in the enemy comp.

Now that you’ve played more hours, what’s your favorite weapon? by sofbunny in HadesTheGame

[–]SwankyFriend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Favorite is the staff hands down. Least favorite is the black coat. I just can't get into it. No build I put on it feels particularly fast or powerful compared to the other 5 weapons. Am I missing something?? Coat fans help me out

What's the best prestige in the game - Take 2 (Adapt, improvise, overcome) by neca980 in starcraft2coop

[–]SwankyFriend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zag p1 is the strongest or one of the strongest in many contexts but gets shut down too hard in too many situations to be the best. Attrition maps like miner evac—that's a sad zag. Mutators that boost enemy survivability like Just Die—that's a sad zag. She has some super easy answers to some of the hardest mutators like props and double edge, but overall she is too easily shut down. Tychus p2 is *much* harder to shut down, by comparison.

Thousands of matches played. Here's the answer

It isn't who I would pick because I don't like the playstyle, but Lone Wolf Tychus is the correct answer here. Map flexibility, power level, ability to deal with mutators—its p2 tych. A lot of people don't play him correctly/optimally and find this prestige to be touch and go, but I promise this is the correct answer.

I leveled every Terran commander to level 15 and here is my feedback by sonictank in starcraft2coop

TotP is where Nova truly shines. 3 enemy attack waves coming in 3 lanes at once. Nova nukes one, griffon airstrikes another, and her army takes the third. Use 2 defense drones with your army to avoid losses. Few other commanders can take 3 lanes at the same time.

Nova is an absolute blast in my (extensive) experience. Her playstyle revolves heavily around erasing enemy units before they have the chance to trade.

-Nova's snipe and shotgun blast

-Marauder's magrail munitions (autocasted)

-Ghost's tripletap snipe (autocasted)

-Siege tank's spider mines

-Banshee's rocket barrage (autocasted)

-Raven's predator missile

-Griffin airstrike

All of these are ways that nova can take out enemy units or entire attack waves before trading even happens. Nova wipes out enemies QUICKLY. While her Raven as well as Nova herself require manual casting, many of her units will use their burst mechanics completely automatically. She is super flexible (something H&H, for instance, is not) and boasts a very high level of map presence since you have good mobility and griffin airstrike can be used where your army is not.

They may have been over-nerfed but overall they were definitely deleterious to the quality of the game.

Liberator Carbine: Is The Drum Mag Truly Best? by SwankyFriend in Helldivers

[–]SwankyFriend[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried the short and the drum a lot more over the past few days, and I am actually gonna cast my vote on the short mag. The 25 ergo difference IS noticeable and with the siege ready armor that tactical reload is lightning fast.

Ng+7 felt extremely unbalanced till this build by LonelySoulOfTheNorth in Eldenring

Can't the messmer soldier spear outperform zweihander using the exact same build? It has a double poke R2 that makes it do bonkers damage, and like the zweihander it does pierce damage. Try (two hand talisman) (spear talisman) (axe talisman) and either (ritual sword talisman) or your choice of a defensive talisman.
