reduce her damage to 13 or 10, make her transparent instead of invisible except in casting shadows and when standing still, make her take double damage in shadow sneak, and reduce her health to 50. also increase her reload time and reduce her clip size. that way she will OBJECTIVELY be a fair and balanced character.
if you think she is fine the way she is, then you are ABSOLUTELY one of the scum that abuse her overpowered damage and mobility.
@DoomEternalHype you must have been heavily abused by a NC for you to suggest such a nerf. She got nerfed in 3 consecutive patches excluding the ttk patch. Actually, I think she got nerfed in ALL the patches since founders lol. You need to learn how to counter your opponent. I use soldier.
I thought at first this post was a sarcastic joke but since it's serious I'll have to agree with @Shinobicap , given all the zombie-favored patches, you need to get good.
Btw what character do you use against NC. What is your overall strategy. Maybe we can give you some pointers and share our experience. That might help!
@Iron_Guard8 Oh did you? haha. I'll have to start keeping an eye out for people from the forums 😛
I agree with all the nerf but she should be twice big as all-star and her attack should not pierce through ennemies.... Just kiding, she's my main and i'm pretty sure her purpose is to be a glass canon class. Sorry if you had bad times against one of them.
While the game can have legitimate balance issues due to the fact that it’s a Hero shooter as many have already stated if you’re having persistent and frustrating problems dealing with one character class those problems are likely to be due to the skill level of the player using it or due to your current character choice or tactics being ill suited for that characters play style and not because the character you keep getting vanquished by is broken.
Instead of calling for a nerf you should try to adjust your own tactics or character choices to compensate first.
@DoomEternalHype Nightcap from my experience from playing her is balanced in her current state because on average, the Zombies' hitboxes are smaller compared to the Plants. So Nightcap is by far THE BEST at flanking any Soldier, Deadbeard and Scientist without having to take much aim because the hitboxes on her projectiles are big, and she deals 17 damage per hit, and to only land 6 of her primary shots without the Scientist or Deadbeard receiving heals should be a very easy vanquish.
If Deadbeard gets in his barrel, it shouldn't be a problem forcing him back out.
However, Nightcap has a weakness, and that SHE HAS THE BIGGEST HITBOX for a 75-HP character, specifically at the critical area. She's basically the most squishiest character in the game because she technically has 60-HP with no critical area. She's balanced with the Parkour upgrade now that the devs nerfed it because Wizard's have a much easier time landing the Z-Lixirs. So really, Nightcap is best at dealing with Scientist, Deadbeard and Soldier.
At the end of the day, she's balanced! Just use Wizard, Super-Brainz or Space-Cadet and you should counter her just fine.
I have no problem with nightcap but the problem with most peoples passionate hatred of chars is when teams aren't balanced...those 50-20 games where good players can really have their way with the other team uncontested.
In an even game nightcap wouldn't be free to third party everyone and run away but when chars have no fear of being attacked their abilities really seem op and PO people.
Damage fall off would really help.
I’ve never understood the complaints regarding NC. Maybe she’s a problem in other modes but in BA, she’s my favorite Plant to play against (going on months).
All we need is 4-5 more plant nerfs and then the game would be uber fun! 🤦🏼♂️
I am suggesting these changes because I have come up against lobbies with nothing but nightcaps. she deserves to be useless.
