@hayhor I have actually not seen a single caustic in any of my games in arena. Sad to because end game he could become very vital on the last ring. but where he stands before final rings is another story. Just no use for his abilities as at that point most are mid/long range fighting till round 3 or higher.

@E9ine_AC Yeah I kind of feel that way about Wattson she's not terrible but the shield regen passive is just to slow, fences have little use and the interceptor tower is expensive to get/use. Her ult definitely has a huge impact though.
I think Crypto and Loba are probably the two worst legends for the mode.

- hayhor4 years agoHero@DarthValtrex Funny I was thinking of trying Wattson for the automatic shield regen but you are not giving me hope now.
- DarthValtrex4 years agoHero (Retired)@hayhor She's not terrible, I had a few 3 game wins streak with her. It's just the mode is such a fast pace. You don't have time to hide in a corner and wait for the shield regen to do much. It does give you a few extra hit points that the enemy does not get.
I feel like Fuse or ramp would actually be decent in this mode the knuckle cluster stuns and does some damage. Ramps walls and the increase in ammo she gets on LMG. - E9ine_AC4 years agoHero+
@DarthValtrexI have already figured out who my teams meta will be in arena mode. LL for res and heals Crypto for easy shield breaks and wattson for shield regens seeing the mode is not producing a lot of heals. So i feel these 3 together will dominate the arena because of their ults and passives.
- E9ine_AC4 years agoHero+@hayhor Gibby can't heal nor can he res 2 at once. Her heal drone will be highly needed in bad situations. Gibby can only quick res inside his bubble which has quite a high cool down. when i think these things out its purely math to me. LL with gold backpack resing 2 teammates to half health and shields will be much greater advantage over a quick res gibby. The cool down is just to long to be real beneficial.
- E9ine_AC4 years agoHero+@hayhor For the ranked version I feel the gold backpack does need to be there. If not as high-end ranked tend to be mid-range fights for a lot this will def give them knocks. I can't see pushing a team in higher-end lobbies without knowing some are really broke and knocked which won't be till most likely final rings.
This is an assumption on my end by looking at the current ranked system how ring 3-4 closes and there are still 7 teams left sometimes more. I feel it will be played very smart and strategized. The backpack should help make the round a little longer. I would prefer the res. This means they eventually are running out of heals seeing very little in there. This means at some point you will know when to push when they stop having shields. - Lord_Scorpion344 years agoLegend

I think if you have the right team Crypto can be useful.
