Hero matchups/uses
Hello! I've played a good few matches with all the characters, so I'd like to say my opinions on what each hero is good for/their best matchups.
Lt. C Jones (Healer)
Good against: Drone, Tank
Struggles with: Mars, Assassin, Scorpion
-
Good in almost every comp
-
Synergizes really well with the drone due to its low health, allowing the drone to get back in the fight faster
- pretty low DPS
Aretheya (Archer)
Good against: None specifically, jack of all trades
Struggles with: Tank, Scorpion, Mars
-
Hook is absolutely diabolical
-
EMP is borderline undodgable if you have good aim
- Pretty bad close range DPS unless you have multi-arrow to a high level
HBV (Tank)
Good against: Archer, Healer
Struggles with:Mars, Drone (kinda), Assassin
-
Highest HP in the game besides the Titan
-
Consistent long-range damage, perfect for taking towers
- Very limited range of motion, also very clunky to control
Dr. J Stern (Scientist)
Good against: Assassin, Mars (depends on the player), Groups of enemies
Struggles with: Archer (no hook), Healer, Drone
-
Insane DPS up close
-
Grenades have a large AOE
-
Pretty inconsistent long-range DPS
-
Manual reload (and very often at that)
Niederhorn (Assassin)
Good against: Healer, Archer, Tank
Struggles with: Mars, Scorpion, Scientist
-
Very high close range DPS
-
Very good for farming earth artifacts, even at level 1
-
Some of the beat mobility in the game
- Any more than 1 person nearby and you're cooked
Mars (Axe dude)
Good against: Everyone
Struggles with: Spaced out groups of enemies, Scientist (if the scientist is really good)
-
Very high close and long-range DPS
-
Level 10 ability to double the charge speed is overpowered AF (one throw every 0.5 sec)
-
Ties for the best 3rd ability in the game (Elimination). Only comparable to Drone's Hellfire
-
Can easily kill any hero in a 1v1
- Struggles against being shot from several angles
-Low HP due to the shield
RSO (Drone)
Good against: Assassin, Scorpion, Titan
Struggles with: Healer, Mars, Minigunner
-
Best mobility in the game
-
High long-range DPS, especially after the 11 ammo/sec upgrade
-
Hellfire is one of the best abilities in the game
-
Lowest HP in the game
-
Literal target practice for healers
-
You will be targeted to hell and back
Col. George Smith (Minigunner)
Good against: Drone, Tank, okay against everyone else
Struggles with: Mars, Assassin, Scorpion
-
Beams drones out of the sky
-
Turret makes him the #1 tower taker besides the titan
-
Up to 14 seconds of continuous mayhem
-
Slow, with little mobility
-
Turret has pretty low HP
Nemesis (Scorpion)
Good against: Healer, Archer, Assassin
Struggles with: Mars (sometimes), Tank, Drone
-
Assassin with high HP
-
Very good mobility
-
3rd Ability males her almost unkillable in her zone (seriously 40% DR is insane)
-
Melee only
-
Weak against groups
-
High mobility males her a target
Caleo (Dagger bitch)
Good against: All (of you're good)
Struggles with: All (if you suck)
-
Second best mobility
-
Giant ass slow grenade with a short cooldown
-
3rd ability is a free kill in a 1v1
-
Highest slill requirement by far
-
Borderline useless until she gets her flips at level 5
-
Pretty low HP
And that's it! Obviously yall will disagree but feel free to correct me on anything.
