[SC] Into a Pro DO player

Hello,

My account is near to be Ultra full elite and I wanna suggestions about what are the best configurations for a Goliath with its variant designs like what's the best combo configuration including: Number of lasers and Shields on ship/drones, what drone designs to use and ship design used (Spectrum/Sentinel/Diminisher).

Also, any Tips before heading to UBA?
and what about drone formations? when to use this one and when not to etc. and what formation that best to be used against this formation etc.

Also, what does the current game meta suggest to keep up the pace with the game in terms of ships, skills, ammo etc.

I know that these are totally separate questions but please answer what you can if possible, I can use a helping hand here

Thanks!

 

These answers are strictly on your game play and what you do during your time in the game. Spectrum seems to be the favorite of many people. Formations are strictly dependent on the player (I have not seen the advantage of spending that type of money for them yet). As far as a UBA setup, since you can't run anywhere, shields on ship no speed generators, FULL lasers on Drones (maximum damage), Insta Shield, EMP burst, x-4 and RSB switching ability.

I am a PvE player so I have one config that has 4 shield generators and the rest speed and the other is 4 speed and the rest shield, drones are loaded split guns and shields.

Now a "NEAR UFE", I have had people tell me they were "near UFE" and only had a few LF-4 what does your definition of UFE mean? A True UFE has all Pilot Points assigned (50), minimum of 46 LF-4's, 50 BO-2's, 20 7900 Speed, Apis and Zeus drones, fully upgraded to level 16 (LF-4's shields, Drones, HS-2), 10 Hercules and Havoc drone designs, and Double boosted all the time.

 

Near UFE : 45 LF-4s (34 Fully upgraded), 20 Bo-2s (between 5-6 lvl), full Herc, Apis and Zeus and 8 Iris fully upgraded and 42 Pilot Points. and to be doubly boosted is not an issue at all.

you won't use all 50 Bo-2s and I know that's by definition but am talking about real fights!

 

you could use the standard 2 configs.

Config 1: 15 shields on ship and full lf4's on drones with "Havocs."

Config 2: 15 speeds gens on ship and 12 shields on drones with 8 lf4's and "Hercs."
Remember that it is key to have havocs on ur damage config and hercs on ur speed, because usually you use your speed when your running. Therefore you would need the extra shield bonus and 20% hp from hercs. The havocs give 10% more damage which is a big bonus in PvP fights.

 

50 BO-2's are required for a true TANK configuration on a Citadel and if really using as a protector you do want the full TANK side.

 

The Citadel has 20 Gens plus drones that's 40 Gen, why the extra 10 ?!

 

10 for your Pet : )

 

Take full damage (LF4, no speed) for farming and a second configuration for running away from enemies when you are low.

Or try a full mine damage configuration (=full speed, Pilot sheet, Lance, Goliath X). Root the enemies with ice rockets and Goliath X ability, set under them a super HP bomb, run a short distance away and kill the low enemy while using Moth and full damage configuration after the super mine detonation.

 

i think you forgot to cite the pilot skill, some people can't really assimilate that if you don't say it.

hell, the miner config was good back then, instakills with DD-01. and they were supposed to take away 20% of enemy health (ignoring "extradmg increase"), not 100%. but bigpoint hired new dev that fixed it, i'm sure the intern that was responsible for coding that part was fired.

protip: try use 2 windows, one for GG spins while battling and the other one for actually battling, if you run out of uridium/spins, you'll surely die.
