Is it just me or is Citron hot garbage?

-His primary fire does pretty much zero damage. The SCIENTIST can practically out damage him.
-You can't do anything while the shield is up. You should be able to shoot your E.M.Peach while your shield is up.
-His E.M.Peach takes a while to fire, and the stun doesn't even last all that long. You can't capitalize on it very well anyway, as you're probably busy shielding yourself from getting annihilated by the people you didn't stun who are shooting at your massive hit box.
-His Spin Dash is fine, to be honest. Other than the massive hit detection problem on half of the abilities in this game, it's fine. Maybe lower the cool down.
-The Navel Laser would be great if the hit detection wasn't a dumpster fire.

Edit: After looking at the comments and playing Citron a bit more, he's not as bad as I thought. He's alright, actually. His primary fire isn't that bad. Just to clarify: I DON'T think he should be able to normally shoot with his shield up. I just think he should be able to use his E.M.Peach while the shield is up. After some more experimentation, I've found the Navel Laser to be not really that great. Even if the hit detection was fixed, it's hit box is so incredibly tiny that you can hardly use it to it's full potential once it's fully charged. Thank you for all of the suggestions, comments, and advice! ❤️

    it doe 3 damage for every barrel, so 9 damage. go check the patch notes. everyone should read the patch notes. they're very helpful.

  • My understanding is that Citron has the best base sprint speed of any class; this is on top of having the most options for Upgrades that add to speed.

    Flank, then put your barrel on their head.

    1: Emergency Exit - Adds to sprint speed

    2: Freshly Squeezed - Adds to sprint speed

    3: Peel Out - Allows for finding cover behind you

    4: Fallback - Unreliable as your health needs be too low

    5: Speedy - Available to everyone; doesn't add to sprint

    6: Adrenaline Rush - Similar to Freshly Squeezed, but adds to walk and sprint.

    These all combine with each other; this class excels at flanks or kiting.

    I can't find the post where someone measured out the speed.

    The Imp seems faster due to the camera being low to the ground.

    An invisible Nightcap is hardly base sprint speed; may as well compare to spin dash speed then.

    If a Citron has the correct upgrades equipped, he could probably have the fastest movement speed of any character in his sprint form. There are some abilities that grant high mobility however such as Arcane Enigma and Shadow Sneak. So it’s difficult to contend with. I’ve heard however that Citron has the highest base sprint speed in the game (and is the only character unaffected by reduced sprint speed after taking damage). It’s also pretty simple to add to this speed he has. I suppose it comes down to what upgrades you use! 🙂

    GW2's Citron was straight up great. BfN's version isn't as great compared to that one. However, I've still seen players excel with aggresive playstyle.
