Who plays well with Crypto?
What Legends do you think play well with Crypto? I think wraith is a good one to have on your team because while crypto is scouting with his drone, wraith can create her portals so you can catch up t...

@Jem450R I'm only a Platinum player so maybe I just don't understand. Why does everyone care about the EMP? I'm mostly experimenting with the range that his drone can passively detect enemies. Crypto is obviously useful as a forward scout but I find his drone far more useful when i leave it to watch over an area on its own. I'm just never sure if I left it low enough to spot enemies but high enough to avoid detection. A few more tricks I'm having fun with but I rarely even think about the EMP.
@heme725The passive detection range is 30 meters. You can see distance to objects when you're in drone, so you can know precisely where it will and won't detect. If you wan't passive detection, don't leave it higher than 20m.
If you leave the drone as detector for flankers, then best way is to leave it so that it covers as much area with the 30m detection radius, as possible (doesn't matter if drone is in plain sight) - enemies will either be detected or will shoot it - either way you'll know they're there. Works best for choke points (e.g., tunnels), since the detection will cover the whole passage.
I've seen a lot of crypto's who are afraid to lose their drone. If losing the drone gives useful information - just do it.
Passive marking is still not the most useful thing of the drone. If you want to detect enemies, it's much better to actually look yourself and stay far away from them. Get high enough and you can spot enemies across half the map.
As for EMP - who cares if enemy can hear the drone if they can't actually see it (behind cover) - they still can't shoot it. Of course using it completely in the open is harder, but you really rarely need help of ultimates to kill ppl completely exposed in the open...

Not my type of character to play but I do like having one in my group. A good m8 of mine loves this guy for the moment and we get some solid battles. The droid does so much work for spotting its unreal.
EMP + grenade combo can be so deadly.
