Help. Please help. PLEASE

Thanks, but I haven’t covered nearly enough in a neat manner,but if I wanted to I’d have to make a guide in 4 or more max text posts,then I’d have to edit them and make it appealing to the eye,then edit them some more and I probably still wouldn’t be satisfied,so,by all means, make a rookie guide if you feel like it,it would surely help to have a guide-oriented thread,not a random post. If you decide to, feel free to use whatever parts of my post you’d like. I was kinda itching to make one big guide but I’m sure there’s lots of folk who would do it better and more comprehensively with less effort so I won’t until I absolutely must :wink:

Ambra can’t outheal a Miko,but she is much more useful as a support if your team knows how to avoid damage and has less damage overall compared to the other team. The most important thing on Ambra IMO is the first helix- 16% increased damage from all sources for 4 seconds is no joke. People also tend to think that her “heal beam” helix upgrade on level 3 is weak, but when you set up a sunspot + heal with your staff you heal faster than Miko with her secondary.

From my experience as playing Ambra she heals about half that a Miko does, with moderately long matches piling up to 25k from Ambra vs 50k from Miko. But Miko’s main weakness in healing compared to Ambra is that she is useless during the times when her teams hp is topped off. Ambra can push during that time,she can also heal minions more effectively plus she DOES have a failsafe when she’s getting focused. her ultimate is also incredibly strong as you cannot simply “kill it” like Mikos mushroom. Also, remember that additional dmg = enemies/minions dying faster= less damage dealt to your team = less healing required.

Hey, at this point if anyone has advice, i’ll listen to it, so thanks :slight_smile: i’ll try out Miko in PvE or something, try to get used to her. Or the PvP private matches, they can help me.

ISIC’s ultimate does seem brutal, and great in PvE too. Toby does seem more useful than he appears, but ive seen some griping over his ult.

Still…i want to get good with Orendi. I love her to tiny pieces :smiley:

@_Mojo. Still the work you did was great, and considering the rampant QQing going on was a bright ray of solid posting.

That said, I suppose I have just been sadly paired with horrid Ambras, since almost every one I have had, has been garbage. Either they don’t heal or attempt to or they run off to get player kills and get murdered leaving us without any heal support. Just bad luck.

@MaliceUnchained. No problem I’m just trying to offer help where I can, but I hate sounding like an authority cause I’m not even close. Mojo has a point so I’d air towards his Ambra advice.

Isic can be a beast but takes a load of careful thinking. They tweaked him so while he’s still a tank early match you may want to be careful with what fights you take and how you engage. Come lvl five find a tank or frontline and go nuts when you push. His ultimate changes how I respond to pushes. If he has a healer and Kleese on him…Nightmare.

Tobys ultimate seems fine to me. But that could just be my good luck in matchmaking. The best ones I’ve seen use it as a kill skill. They let the tanks or ranges guys whittle down a group and come in with that mega cannon to mop up. Quad kills all day. But some have cleverly used it as a counter.

I had one tight game last week, we were being hammered and needed space to rally. Toby came in from behind lit the opposition up like the fourth of July and dropped a shield. Basically he not only turned the battle but trapped em near our turrets. Once our two tanks respawned. Myself as Rath and our Boulder we had a very easy time cleaning up. Got the push. Back and won. Ever since I just love having a solid Toby on my team’s.

I have been playing pvp games for about 15 years now and don’t feel bad until about level 15 command rank I was getting hammered and losing all the time. Things that worked for me was dropping the controller and using the mouse on pc. Paying attention to objectives and overall map strats which takes time and comes with the levels. And understanding the other characters so when I’m not playing them I know what their strategy is in team fights. All came with getting my arse kicked. So try not to rage and hang in there

Oh, im feeling less rage in this than in Destiny. Im quite happy just learning the cjaracters, playing sone story, and hitting PvP when i feel like it. I know OM is easy to use, but i dont want to use a character just becaise they’re easy - i want to use a character i really enjoy, and learn to use them well. So, trial and error, play and learn :slight_smile:

Also, i am loving how decent and supportive this community is. It’s a hell of a welcome!

Anything that negativey affects your characters movement or use of abilities that another player or structure has afflicted you with such as being stunned slowed silenced (won’t let you activate abilities) crippled (won’t let you use movement abilities such as leaps or dashes but attacks work) rooted (can’t move but can shoot or attack. Think of a weaker stun).
