Mk6 upgrade suggestions

I read here and there about mk6 being a trap and that people losing infamy after upgrading.
So Soon I have enough lvl for Mk6 could use some advice from pros.
Like should i upgrade to mk6 with tier 4 Weapons.
Also any other tips for New mk6 and for reaching Nightmare.

 

I think it's a trap that some people still say you shouldn't upgrade to mk6 as soon as you can. Matchmaking is still primarily based on infamy so I wouldn't worry about it (and you are probably being matched with quite a few mk6s already at mk5, aren't you). Of course upgrading your ship doesn't automatically mean you will climb higher infamy but at least you will have better chances to do so. My average infamy has been something like 300-400 higher since I reached mk6 about a month ago but I have also switched from speeder to shooter - so I'm still kinda learning the new ship and playing style and expecting to slowly climb higher when I get better.

 

I get your point. I am already playing with mk6 players.
Also i m a enfo user, and mk5 enfo is considered weakest in mk5s. Double tesla shield it is.

 

I've seen several guildmates drop over 800 infamy immediately following the upgrade to MK6 of their primary boat. As it is a primary factor (second to infamy) in matchmaking, you will flat out be thrown into tougher matches with higher captain levels. I'd say if your items are mostly rare T4+ before the upgrade you should be fine.

I'm personally holding back ... may do a secondary boat first, but my item levels aren't good enough for the ones I'm looking at.

 

Oh..ryt Big shield, I was using bandage upto now..
I have rare shield...building epic one.
What should be the minimum standard for teslas?

 

Haha mk6 enfo is so OP! that I don't think any pointers are necessary.
Get ready to ruin defenders lives

 

He is right, Double shield is crazy, Plus OB, Lots of combos to use too, Flare/double blast, Blast/Grenade/Mine. Flare/Blast/Mine are some of my favorites!

 

Common t1

 

Lol...i mean for 3500+ minimum tesla lvl

 

Mine was only a rare T1 back when I was around 3500.
Really T1/T5 doesn't matter, if it's not epic/legendary it's gonna break on the first hit 90% of the time anyway.

 

Now that's some pro tip. Thanks
Now what should i do with two spare rare TS saved for t5 upgrade...lol

 

Haha I'd build it anyway
Rare maxes at 1177, which won't stand up to an ec/blast/berta but can tank a sniper shot or the smaller mortars sometimes..
There's always hoping that rare shields will get a little buff at some point too. (No there isn't )

 

Yeah and like stelmo said, it won’t matter that much. My epic t2 can take 2 hits at best, and mostly when i block a mortar it breaks. It can only block a few cannons. 3500+ guns are mostly enough to 1-shot shield. But rare is always better than anything else, so just build it especially if you want a dual shield. 12 epics is almost impossible.

 

I got a rare t4 at 990 something, Is the max after Buzz is maxed 1177 for the rare?
And no that won’t hold up to much, Also. Train for all hp and you get duration perks.
Does the sniper crit on a shield? I didn’t think it did.....
