RaptorKing15 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 In the arena I'm seeing a lot more Heat Bombs than usual. It probably deals with the fact that it does over 485 heat dmg and the cost is almost 100 less. Besides, it does a lot more than EMP, which has well rounded Electric dmg and cost. Here is my Heat Bomb stats. 340 or 350 heat dmg 15-20 Explosive dmg Cost would be 320 or 325. MasterChief 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I'm comparing Heat Bomb stats to EMP's. It does too much Heat dmg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefertary Meriten-Mut Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Yes. Heat Bomb has a problem: in Arena it is useless. It´s only useful for RAID. Heat Bom should have 50% more Heat Damage to be useful. And add double the explosive damage to it. OKI DOKI and Naveedgood 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAME_NOT_FOUND Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 EMP can send someone into cascading no-energy because you recover energy at the end of turn. With heat, you vent excess away at the start of your turn, and can double vent (if no shutdown) and still get a drone shot. Getting energy zero-ed (unless no energy build) is far more traumatic, and should be harder to get to an maintain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is my Heat Bomb stats. 340 or 350 heat dmg 15-20 Explosive dmg Cost would be 320 or 325. Heat Bombs are annoying, yes, but that doesn't make them a problem. Heat Bombs are mainly used to stun an opponent to allow the user to attack but that opening is dependent on two things:Can the target cool the heat damage in a single cooldown? And... Can the user cool the heat cost in a single cooldown in order to be able to attack again in one turn? If the target is capable of cooling down in one point or if the user shuts themselves down due to the heat cost overloading their cooling, the Heat Bomb's use was barely worth it since the target only lost a single action point rather than a turn or a set of turns. The whole point of Heat Bomb is to cripple the target but that's it. It can't do it twice since it's only 1-use, meaning that the user has to hold off on using the Heat Bomb until the right moment to avoid wasting the shot and allowing the target to avoid a shutdown. My suggestion to avoiding Heat Bomb shots is to:Force the Heat Bomb user into a constant state where they're always on the brink of overheating, which makes them hold off on using their shot unless they want to risk a shutdown due to their own heat overloading them (heat-specific). Constantly force them out of 2-4 range and attack with 3-6 and/or 4-8 range weapons as Heat Bombs are 2-4 (excluding Overheated Heat Bomb, which is 3-6 and costs backfire). Range controlling keeps them from using the Heat Bomb and forces them to move into 2-4 if they want to use it, making them spend a point in the process. Or... Energy break them to disable their energy-dependent boiler weapons to keep them from adding onto your heat levels after the bomb shot to give you time to recover (Energy-specific; only works with Corrupt Light/Flaminator/Savagery builds). Apologies for the long post but I just needed to explain a bit about how Heat Bomb is not an overpowered weapon.. I mean, seriously? It costs as much heat as it deals to your target, so you're not getting out of using it unscathed if you don't have the heat stats to withstand the shot's heat cost. AssClown, OKI DOKI, Naveedgood and 1 other 3 1 If you fail and don't succeed at something, you simply haven't failed enough. Through failures, one can pave a path to eventual success.

Here is my Heat Bomb stats. 340 or 350 heat dmg 15-20 Explosive dmg Cost would be 320 or 325. I think it is totally reasonable to have Heat Bomb do more heat damage than heat cost. Otherwise you would end up overheating yourself as well. The purpose of Heat Bomb isn't to be a main weapon but to get your opponent's heat, but to bring their heat to their capacity. Heat bomb being stronger than EMP needs fixed though... RaptorKing15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it still would, for mid and low rank players buffing it would drop most of the rank 10 players to rank 12 or worse. I would have lost so many battles is it had better drain, pair a legendary one of these with a legendary malice or fot flash and they will keep you energy broke for a while, and that's rn, buffing it would be suicide imo.

I was not thinking about the people in lower ranks. You have a valid argument. I was just stating EMP needs buffed because of nearly every energy-version of a heat item doing more energy drain then a heat weapon does heat damage.

Low ranks will always be easy to get out of if you have good weapons same with mid ranks, at higher ranks though you need to be smarter about your builds, getting there is hard but staying there is harder.
