Nec Rose is weak

I have her mastered and she is weak. The only good thing she can do is jinx enemies. Other than jinxing she  is useless. She needs to buffed.

  • A character that can take an other character out of the game (goatify), can mass-stun zombies in any range, can make herself literally immortal and have autoaim is from the start on ridiculous, you just have to jinx an zombie and its a 100% garanteed kill because of shared kill system. I hate rose from the start on, its the only class I will never master and I feel its not fun anyway using her, but I saw a lot of guys doing 30+ kill steaks with easy, so the only thing she needs is a decent nerf.

    She's already a direct upgrade to regular Rose. Her Jinxed debuff makes you a huge support and she does require some skill to rapid fire and aim which I don't mind at all.

    @Schattenpflanze your post is offtopic, and is also mystificator XD
    Mass-stun? It's not a stun, you can still shoot.
    Autoaim? Where? Lol. Her homing is bugged as *.
    You don't go invicible quickly, he gives you time to kill her.
    Goatify doesn't take out the character from the game, you can still use horn attack
    "just have to jinx a zombie" it's not just, you have to charge an attack and hit that with so low projectile speed
    100% assist you mean, 15 damage doesn't give you kill shared
    you will not be able to master her anyway, she require skills

    Rose nerf... ahahahah :') you're funny. salty crybaby people like you made this character useless, get good.


    Nec Rose need a buff, her basic should jinx too after 7-8 hits. At the moment is just pointless to play, no need to put yourself so much for a jinx, if you can just confortably kill people with base rose. And base is also easier to use

  • Gotta remember she's a support character. She did seem week to me at first, and that was due to the homing bug. She's still relatively new so give her a little time. I understand what you guys are saying but you have to find her place. If you're not in a full game then yes, she seems redundant at times. I agree with the shared vanquish aspect. If you can at least manage a couple charged shots (not even fully charged), then 4 single shots, you well get the shared at least. The same thing was said about ice rose at first, but she's actually a beast now that people have put time in. I don't know if you guys remember beta, but the rose was terrible. And then we all know what happened after that, what a nightmare. I will say if it's boast your after, then she's probably not everyone's first choice. But none of the roses should really be at the front of the pedestal as they are "support" characters. There should be more boast for these type characters. Even without a lot of vanquishes, you get a ton of coins using this character. If you continue to have trouble just stay with the heard, and support them, you'll be surprised how well you can do with her. I've gotten many streaks over 30 with her, I think she's right where she needs be.

    Nec Rose is Druid Rose on steroids! A great variant on a relatively useless class. Mastered so with upgrades she is a beast. Like other characters though (set characters), if you don't know how to play her she can suck.....

    As if this character is weak... Her base damage may be lower than that of other Rose variants, but the jinx is what makes her so powerful.

    Jinxed Zombies take 75% more damage from all sources, and removes damage resistance for a decent duration. This completely shuts down Pirate's Barrel and the Superhero's Turbo Twister.

    Not only that, but it works wonders for helping you and your team take down Z-Mechs and Big Bolt Blaster Engineers.

    And then you get her upgrades, such as damage, reload, and homing. Equip this set and you'll crush any competition.

    Not many Zombies pose a threat to Rose at longer distances, which is where her lock on powers shine.

    Rose's thistles have an easier time locking on to Zombies at the end of their locking distance. Too far, and they won't lock on. Too close, and they will end up missing most of the time.

    From near the end of your lock on distance, you're golden. The only things that pose a threat to you are snipers and mechs. Other enemies go down before they get the chance to deal some real damage. The only thing they can do is try to get out of your lock on distance. They can't get close, as they risk being turned into a goat or taking massive amounts of damage from Arcane Enigma.

    "Mass-stun? It's not a stun, you can still shoot." - Cant use specials, cant move, and only shot in one direction, when its not a stun what is it?

    "Autoaim? Where? Lol. Her homing is bugged as *." - Homing-Upgrade?!

    "You don't go invicible quickly, he gives you time to kill her." - This got changed with the new Update.

    "Goatify doesn't take out the character from the game, you can still use horn attack" - Ehhh it takes out the character from the game by transforming it into a goat?! Also this 25 dmg in a line attack and stopping 3 seconds after it is sooooo powerful.

    "you will not be able to master her anyway, she require skills" No she does not :'D, also never heard of the XP-fish? You can master any character without even playing him 😉

  • I don't think the character is very weak at all; the Frontline variants, with the possible exception of Commando Corn, seem structured around certain niches or to require a higher skill investment.

    The ScallyWag Imp seems designed for close combat, Captain Squawk seems to have been pushed further into the general Pirate role of long range sniper in addition to requiring more skill and patience. Nec'Rose seems to be oriented towards a Support role with her ability to Jinx opponents.

    For Nec'Rose in particular for a character who is being called "weak" I have done particularly well with her and have seen others get high vanquish and vanquish streak numbers on the Boasting pedestals at the end of each game session.

    For characters intended for a certain role or niche in combat it can take awhile to figure out how to play them "appropriately" and well enough to have a good time with them instead of feeling like you're in a frustrating grind to level them up.
