Good tip, the thermite grenades are get for moving players from defensive positions. Also a caustic is great aswell, just sling your gas traps in the room and watch them run.

    You're not expecting a player to change how they play surely, or think about how to counter it? Lol 😉

    Although I've unlocked her, I've not used her yet but have had team mates who have, and used her to great effect. The fences are a good distraction but not OP, and her ult is great when used correctly.

    She definitely adds a new dimension to gameplay. Works very well in tandem with Wraith from my experience.

    She is amazing in defending an area with Caustic. She has a lot of plays for late game and feels good to run around with. So far a big plus in my book!

  • definitely an interesting character......one little bit of tuning.....

    Her tactical.....honestly, it's weak.  yes, can use it to block off an avenue of approach, but the penalty for pushing (what, 10 damage?).........

    Since our shields are electrical (we use cells and batteries to replenish them)....

    ....why not have her tactical "short out" your enemies shield?

    Lots of options to look at to tune it...

     - maybe take it to half charge?

     - take it down 25/50 no matter what level?

     - fully negate it for a second (even that second is more than long enough).....but no more than that......

    we have legends that their tactical can be game changers........Wattson's just seems to me more "meh"

    @DrenMadre It might seem like a low amount of damage but you also have the stun and the ping. They are not a damage dealing tool, and if the damage was increased they would become overly powerful very quickly, especially in certain situations.

    You have to remember that a good Wattson will not just trap 1 door but create a whole mesh network of traps in a room, so people cannot move without getting stunned. With increased damage things could get wild very fast.

  • Maybe more damage, just less of them as a trade off... 

  • @Cabowse I agree. The damage they do do is not there to kill or to do significant damage it's just there to penalise as well as the stun and location reveal. Similar to Caustics gas in that the actual damage is weak but it makes the opposition panic and/or rethink their approach.

    Perhaps the only thing I'd say, and that I've not heard much of, is should her fence be as obvious as it is? IMHO I'd much prefer if it was less visible, at least from distance anyway.

    @WHITEyy6969 I guess it's actually kind of important that the fence is visible, so that people know it's there and don't even try to poke.

  • @Cabowse Yes totally. I'm not saying they should be invisible just not as obvious as they are.

    If you attempt to block anything other than a doorway they are spotted halfway across the map. Not that it means anything but I'd prefer it if was just a bit less in your face.
