[Merry Christmas!]

I got an Advanced Repulser and a legendary Kraken.

No jokes.

[Upcoming Balance Changes]

Making an extra Spartan but epic and removing 1 shot from it is already pretty well balanced and neat.Pretty much not budget Spartan,as that's NightFall,but rather ''More accessible but also more limited in the same time'' Spartan;if you lower the damage,then it becomes highly underpowered.

Otherwise nothing can justify the damage lowering.

How about we make the Frantic Brute identical in stats to the Spartan Carnage except with 2 shots (like it currently is) rather than 3?  Basically make the Frantic Brute a Spartan Carnage "Lite"?

Would that fix the issue?

Sir,that would effectively and efficiently solve the problem,along with an addition of something juicy to the game.

That isn't only balanced;that's genius and plainly beautiful.But I can already see some arguments as to why it shouldn't be a thing...

unrepaired laser canon.

I'm pretty sure I told you twice.

And then I never mentioned URC as being a very viable weapon.If anything;it's underpowered and situational.

Frantic Brute and Unrepaired Laser Cannon

I didn't say anything about Unrepaired Laser Cannon  

I did say that thing about the Malfunctioning Blaster though...And also,calculating the damage dealt by substracting the backfire makes no sense.With or without the backfire,the weapon will inflict an amount to your opponent.Backfire does not affect how much your enemy takes and it only affects you;thus is irrelevant in this case.It's okay,we get it that you're new and we'll be patient,as others were patient with us too during our time.

But still...It at least it has a (somewhat) 50-50 chance between avg-high or avg-low hits.If you like maths,try to compare that avg damage and make the chances of Frantic Brute's hits...That's where the sad truth starts to unravel,since it has such a damage limit that it even biases the odds.

Also,we all got it already.You support Frantic;that's okay.We understand.

if we nerf Frantic Brute too much, do we harm the F2P people who may never get a Spartan?

But if we don't nerf it,we harm the entire playerbase,including F2P,P2W and the sorts.

Also,is Spartan really the only option?We have Mighty Cannon,Rock Recoiler,NightFall,Sacrifice Cannon and especially Malfunctioning Blaster that's essentially a side Spartan with half the weight and energy-free.

This is an example of a low-key,budget-meta phys.And you know why some would say it's weak?Because it's fair and balanced.Because it doesn't hit 800 and kill anything in 2 turns.

In truth,the build above is a direct downgrade from a Dual Spartan.If it had 2 Malf. Blasters,it'd be essentially a backfire,energy-free Dual Spartan.

And,in fact,Spartan doesn't even compare to Frantic.Dual Spartans die to Dual Frantics more often that you'd think;anything does actually.
