    Hey:) I got a question to PvP Players...
    What is the right order to use which Drone-Formation?
    If i start with Ring in my fast config, I wait till my shield is 50% then i will switch to pincer,than Drill. If my HP are 50% i will change to slow config with ring again and repeat.. Is this the right way? Because i lose everytime xD

    Thanks in advance[​IMG])

    I'm almost UFE :) but my Lasers and Shields are Not upgraded to Lv 16 right now.
    I like to Play with Goliath Enforcer/Bastion the most :) Normaly i use Havocs in my slow config and Hercules in my fast one

    Upgrades do not matter much since some of your bullets miss.

    Start with ring,switch to moth and then to drill.
     
  5. Use Ring first, wait for the enemy's reaction. If he/she uses Moth and you loose around 30% HP, take Diamond. Then if you loose around 25% of your shield, finish your enemy with Drill.

    If your enemy don't use moth and try to attack you with Ring too, use Moth and Sab. Then he/she should switch his/her formation and his/her shield goes down. Dependent on the enemy's shield continue to absorb his/her shield with SAB and a damage formation (drill?). If your enemy hasn't shield anymore, finish him with Drill or a mine (+ice rocket+Lancer) and run away.

    No way in hell I would use moth and sab.

    As for your configs, well it all depends on how much b02s and lf4s you have equipped, I preferably run 16 b02s and 4 lf4s on my speed side, and trust me it is very well worth it.

    On my battle side i run extra 4 shields on my drones and it makes a huge difference.

    Also don't use yellow hellstorm rockets, use the SAR-02 rockets, the shield abosrbing ones.

    Here's a reason why, the yellow ones do direct shield/hp damage, while the shield ones give you directly shield transfer, meaning instead of just taking shields away, with the sar-02 they will get the shields back to you, meaning youre taking his shields out from him.
