Superb hooks??

[The_Real_Ramsay49]

What’s y’all opinions on superb hooks?

Just basic ideas would be

phys: 250-380 dmg

ene: 180-290 dmg + 110 ene dmg

heat: 195-310 dmg + 100 heat dmg

mabe like 3 weight increase on all of them

wouldnt that make things more interesting

Too much damage, heat damage, and energy drain.

I've faced off against the occasional superb charge, and they're immensely annoying at my rank, especially when most others have a regular charge that does much less damage. Adding in superb hooks would also be frustrating for me. Imo charge, grapple and teleport are meant to be tools to move yourself or your opponent, not weapons in their own right.

I would love hooks that put more hurt on my opponents.

It would certainly make the game more interesting… the game is kinda lacking in new strategies, builds included. There are a lot of new ideas that could be added to make mecs more complicated and therefore make arena more relied on player skills than builds alone. I get the player makes half the build, but if I’m making any sense, I’m just sayin the game could a lot more interesting with more mec pieces.

I agree that new items are needed, but idk about direct upgrades to current items. New items with new mechanics are what freshen up the game, not upsized, upgraded versions of current items.

Reintroducing a new utility item like the old legacy shields into the game would change up gameplay a lot, while a more damaging grapple would just give players lucky enough to obtain it a stronger version of a current item.

Or other new mechanics like damage over time, new damage types, physical shields (although resistances kind of fill that role), etc.

Why superb hook when we have a premium one, its"superb" already

[PlainBadLuck]

Also true, although they're all a little over half as powerful as was suggested here. *If* this idea were implemented, I would suggest reducing the current premium hooks down to e-m rarities, since it would be a little redundant to have another, better premium version of the hooks.

then remove r-e one

because reduce the pre hook to e-m will have a trouble because the common one is r-e

Imagine killing someone with only hook, teleport and grabbling hook. If hook dealt 300 damage, TP deals 170, superb charge deals 444,  thats nearly 600 damage. low rank troll
