Once again, unfair battles

No matter how much I try to stay alive, I still end up mostly dying because I got 1.7k-2.7k+ HP in a battle against 2.2k-2.7k+ HP players with mostly MK4+ Ships, Tier3+ Rares & Uncommon items, Tier2+ Epic items.

This somewhat goes with my suggestion about teammates heading towards danger and mostly dying alone.

 

One of the keys to bumping up in infamy is to increase HP. Might want to pray to RNGeezus for some good blue items and spend some time on Brock training. Also spend your time building strong Rare items rather than weak epics... Rare items are oh so plentiful, but Epic items are just not. In my first 14 months of this game I've only been given a handful of Epic Bandages and Small Shields... I scrapped the few I had 6 months ago thinking I'd never need them, and in the past 4 months I've only received a single T1 epic small shield, and zero bandages.

 

My max sugar is 450k at the moment, and I currently have 366,028 and will be saving for a Brock upgrade.

I also unlocked a few epic red items in a row, but it was ALL USELESS, IT WAS A TYPE OF WEAPON I DON'T LIKE TO USE!! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

Epic items come with time. Eventually the game will throw 5 duplicates of an item at you, even if you don’t use it, these items can be helpful and i would suggest not scrapping many epics until you start upgrading epics into the tier 3s

 

I'm not really sure If you should equip shields rather than turbo/bandage. If you replace turbo with standard shield,you will not be able to escape Mortars's explosion radius or any weapon shot.
If you replace bandage with standard shield,you won't regenerate your HP over time, which is very hard for players who keep facing MK5 - MK6 (Like me) in battles...
I tried this setup, it didn't help me at all. I was always the victim of tier IV Epic Snipers, Tier V Rare Big Bertha - Ballpark Mortars, and so on...

 

If being the best mk6 is the goal, I would say never level a rare blue item. Only epics, unless your a non carronade speeder, then rare turbo is ok. But epic blues especially shields are monumentously stronger since the extra perk slot. An epic tier two is still possible to use at a nightmare level (aka my shield) and the potential is much greater. Rares might be better with red/ yellow items.

 

Your Kills/Battle stat is incredibly low for a Shooter (or any ship). I’ve seen fixers with better kill ratios than that.

That stat usually starts off high and then settles to about 0.75 for most players.

I don’t want to sound patronising, but are you leading your shots?
