Nightcap doesn’t need nerf
Okay for all you people screaming for Nightcap nerf; put a sock in it and learn how to aim, dodge or think. 75 health, 2 defensive/evasive abilities and one powerful offensive/defensive... dependin...

Well then they need to increase the damage of other classes so they have a fighting chance OR make one solid zombie counter to the Nightcap. (The Space Cadet is the best ive found).
I don't agree that it's solely an inability of skill with other characters. I used to destroy with the basic zombie soldier or scientist class but now they are almost useless.
Additionally, your point about having to land 1 shot with Spyglass, 80's Hero, or the dynamite is basically my arguement as well. Although they hit hard IF they hit, that is exactly the problem. The Nightcap moves so fast you absolutely HAVE TO hit them the first time. Because if you miss, you now have to charge up to have an attack that does any kind of damage at all. And by the time you charge your second shot, the nightcap is at your feet invisible at hyper speed Fung Fu'ing you to death or running circles around you melting you with his main attack that almost never misses. Also, the charged up spyglass is zoomed in so good luck spotting the Nightcap when hes less than 5 feet away.
Overall, playing the Nightcap is a blast because it's like shooting fish in a barrel. I just want other characters to be equally fun to play.
- @xMuninnx So I played with almost every zombie character and will make a thread regarding that side; heads up, it ain’t good.
I wholeheartedly agree that they need to up basically every character’s att power cause they feel sincerely lacking.
All good points regarding the charged shots, but lets say the NC does come close, 3 punches from super zombie, 3 shots (albeit this requires some quick turning skills) from the hero, I think 4 shots from my pirate and still dead. So if the NC is a worthless shot close quarters, you can mostly win.
@Gowron248, I’m definitely drunk XD but that’s beside the point. NC has much going on? Are you kidding me.
Have you even read my posts? If so I guess you’d be the one in Paladins calling for nerf or removal of both skye and maeve and you’re likely one to say ‘Wraith is OP’.
This game isn’t high skill shooter material. It’s fun, rush and no brainer. Some characters have that pin point precision shot, but all of them are secondary! The game’s meant to be fast paced.
I’m not biased at all. If you read properly I’m not against altering her in some way. But you ppl complaining about ‘oww I get kung fu’d alot, it’s no skill OP attack’ need to simmer down. Some characters have attacks that compliment them. This is a character that dies quick so the last resort is usually kung fu... or first resort for ppl wanting to get a quick kill.
How come you ppl complain about NC but nobody’s saying anything about the imp... mech suit, also AOE attack and crazy fast shooting? Know why, cause that’s exactly what happend in GW2! Every person maining plants and their family complaining that he’s OP! It’s unbelievable that we’re going down this road again.
Yea, the one shots require either skill or luck. But what do you call 2-4 shotting a NC in 2-5 seconds? Does that require those hard twitch muscle skills? Noooo, but for me as NC to CQC a damn 150+ health character with half his health as my ‘base health’ is suddenly no-skill? Gtduck of here.
@tristkiss, like I mentioned, I like high agility characters. Thats why I main her. I never had that in GW1/2 so now I’m enjoying it and being condemned for it XD. I was a marine biologist/footsoldier main in GW2 but I could play any character. I like being close and doing hard damage to ppl who have trouble handling CQC fast.
I’ve played almost every character in this game and they just don’t feel right. The characters on plant team I play with are NC, snapdragon and Sunflower. For zombies, I don’t really like any of the ones I played with but I’d say only SuperZombie scratches my interest. So it’s not like I’m only using NC. I did lvl her to master and afterwards was like ‘lemme see who’s next’.@Koochi-QThe nerfs going to happen. You are bias because you like/main the character. You'd have to be an idiot not to see it's a balance issue especially for lower levels of play (aka new players) and don't worry, it's going to get nerfed. We know it. You know it. Deal with it.
And once it's nerfed maybe you can actually show "skill" with the character instead of relying on a cheap 1 shot gimmick. The characters still amazing even without the one shot button.
@Gowron248I don’t think reading comprehension’s your strong suit but that’s okay. It’s either that or you’re just to stubborn to read and not regurgitate everything that’s already been said by others.
I hope you can continue to play the game with all your enjoyment and have a pleasant day. Hope the nerf happends and you’ll still get killed by NC and continue to ask for nerfs
- @Koochi-Q Good luck getting 4 shots on the NC with the pirate's super spread out and weak close range attack. I'll have to try the other character's again though to verify. For me, that little shroom is just impossible to hit unless I get off the ground over top of him.
@xMuninnxLolz I haven’t played zombies much cause most of them suck. So far I only like SuperZombie®️ (Don’t use my trademark or I’ll sue xD). I tried playing with my characters; Pirate & Marine Biologist (scientist). He was my main (pirate) in GW2... but my gosh, his shotgun does suck atm. At least as a recruit. BUT I did kill a NC in 4 shots who was not wounded so it can be done.
[EDIT] forgot to type the names of my characters from GW2 so altered that
@CJackson5083I know a nerf will happen, because most crybabies want things to happen that they can’t get. So by your logic if the worst character gets picked by an entire team they should nerf that character? Better think of another argument.
@DitronusI haven’t played paladins in like 1-2 years now. I was playing it heavily before ranked and right before ranked started playing it less. So I know how they nerfed her cause ppl cried about her. People always cry about the ninja class cause it’s ‘too fast, too powerfull, can’t hit it, one powerfull AOE attack, too sexy’. People just need to be better and use whatever power they have to cry to learn to aim better. Much less effort with better rewards.
@Iron_Guard8 lolz every new character is OP in Paladins. I know that little tree hooved character with the insane SMG... nerf after one week XD. Nothing against you but there’s no such thing as a ‘minor nerf’. A nerf is basically making a character unuseable. I do agree that modifications are in order. And you’re right, like I said somewhere in this post, ppl always cry about these kinds of characters cause she’s moving too fast (for the auto aim).
For peanutbutter’s sake most ppl on consoles use auto aim and can’t handle her. Likewise same applies for NC users who then have optimal chances for getting hits. I have auto aim off and rely on my own skill while shooting in this game (while not playing NC) and still ppl can complain about NC. Need a tip if you can’t handle her? Set auto aim on high and start shooting. Cause if you’re this vocal about this issue, you likely have no skill and need to rely on the system to hold your hand. (This part was not for you @iron_guard) but for ppl continueing to make threads or posting in other threads that she needs to go or need a big nerf
We can all have opinions but it will of course come down to the data the developer collects. If NC is getting disproportionately more kills overall she could be nerfed. That wouldn't surprise me as I certainly die to NC way more than other characters but that might just be because she is popular.
I get the low health and one shot potential, however I think the agility more than compensates. Having said that I would rather see other characters buffed than NC nerfed. But just another opinion!
