FlareGun OP against Tesla shield.

Been consider this for some time now.

Epic Tier 5 FlareGun can easily break Epic Tier 5 Tesla Shield in one shot isn’t that too much for One Red slot weapon and yet with new Legendaries perk it’s reduced cool down even more devastates.

I’m not sure how players feel about it but I’m think that one slot Carronade is only one that worthy enough to break TS in one shot. (fully hit) which is also equal tier rarity and levels against TS because you need to get close to the targets which is fair.
FG dealing damages overtime shouldn’t be able breakdown TS at once.

Please feel free to share your idea about this.
Thank you.

 

Useless?
Come on you should know that isn’t true. Flaregun have so upper hand than other weapons.

1. Long range fast projectle.
2. Reduces target Healing 30%.
3. Short Cooldown.
4. Only one slot needed.
5. Mark target as burning.
6. Dealing overtime Damages.
7. Break TS easily.

Cannon GL Sniper LRM Ballpark Standard Mortar and Blast can’t even break TS in one shot with same equal rarity.

 

Disagree. The Tesla shield counters were drastically nerfe.d over past 5 updates. So the fact the devs fixed the flare to interact with time perks....its about time!

All other fire items combine with perks to serve create full damage once hitting a Tessa shield. This is fair.

Now for tesla shields users. If u want explosive cannon to go back pre nerf. and Tesla bolt to return pre nerf.....then we can have a different discussion on if flare is too powerful.
But as is. There needs to be more items that can shut down a tesla. Shield.

Top 50 players prove my point that enforcers have it good. And ain't got any issues to complain about.

Jaws

 

So how to deal with Tesla shields? A T5E Tesla shield with 2 HP perk can't be broken by T5E blast only by T5E explosive (?) that too if explosive cannon has all damage perks.
Can't use tesla bolt because there are 2 Tesla Shields.
Can't use cannons to break it with fire combo.

Pray do tell us.

 

I’m understood what you were said but for only one slot breaking TS kind too much for me. (in my opinion)
I’m just want Devs to think a better way for FG out come. It’s like right now going against Yellow boats you can use FG just to break TS.
I’m pretty sure FG is also one of the mostly uses in battle bay on high ranks.

Anyways thank you for sharing ideas.

 

What are other 2 slot weapons that break tesla shield?

 

Railgun can break it but it cost 20+ sec cd EXC also and yet it 2 slot this solution works for Shooters. It’s speeders without FG going against Enforcer it’s mostly disadvantaged.

 

If you want to make TS even harder to break (i.e. take more shots) then the penalty to having TS broken needs to be MUCH stiffer.

Breaking TS should completely disable the ship - including movement (steering, forward, back), and it should either be longer or not break the stun when hit.

 

I 1000000% Agree with this.

Some how enforcers never want their Tessa shield broken.

Fine. Let's reduce any ships health that has a Tessa shield. Arm a Tessa shield. Base. Health drops 25 percent.

Or the cool down between arming a shield again is 10 seconds. And if your shield is broke.... you can't move. Like being frozen by the strongest ice effect.

Simple knowledge the best players in game use enforcer....since it's easier to win with doubke tesla. shields. Debate this statement all you want. But meta for top 100 over n over again shows. Enforcers have it easy.
6 months now. More top 100 players use enforcer than anything else.

So....sure beef up your tesla. But cripple your ship elsewhere. Show you understand....ballance.

 

And Enfo vs Enfo? Not all speeders have EC or RG. Options are limited.


Offtopic :- What infamy do you play, what rarity your shields are?

 

Carronade, only thing to break TS in one shot? HELL NO

 

Carronade doesn’t really break them any more with hp perks

 

We had this discussion before and that's why Devs decided to make it that way by adding duration perks effect against Tesla shield. You're out of luck here because Devs have made their decision already.

 

Curronad iz a hard counter to me tezla shieldz is the most BS argument out there.
A) No, it doesn't break the shield equipped with even single HP perk.
B) It never stuns the enforcer because of it's sh!tty interaction with the shield. Period. I'd prefer the carronade stun them than landing 1 projectile and never stunning them.

 

So? Tesla shield is already OP anyway.

 

My point never want TS to be any harder to break at all. Just to point out that most of yellow boats would use FG often to break their unfriends TS and use blast or Exc to deal damages. FG kind of overrated right now.

 

Yeah it has to be, reason being there aren't enough counters to tesla shields.

 

ex cannon and flare may be ineffective against max t5 tesshields with 2+ epic hp perks (if I remember it correctly, 4 hp epic perks should be enough to stop max t5 ex cannon/flare)
