Re: Imp and Z-mech primaries are bad

@realitysquared The upgrades I mainly use are vampiric, low life, arm day, and refreshing revive. I've also been experimenting with Speedy and focusing on upgrades that benefit Z-mech. I think Ripcord is really good but I haven't been using it.

I should clarify some things. I still do really well with Imp and have made it to the top of the team multiple times. But still, I just think the primary weapons are weak. Imp takes a little too long to kill. He's still usable, just doesn't quite have the firepower to justify getting in the enemy's face. (Why I use arm day).

I feel like Z-mech especially suffers from a weak primary. The primary just doesn't quite do enough damage to justify its quick quick heat build-up and being aggressive. Citrons, oaks, snapdragons, and chompers (without healing or shield) give Z-mech a lot of trouble simply because it takes too long to kill them.

Some of the best people I've played against in pvp, mainly TT, are imps. His primary is solid. When i play imp, I mainly use his primary and his gravity special. I consistently am in the top 1 to 3. The mech I use when I can but I don't depend on it to get my kills. Im ok with getting only 1 to 2 kills with it as I view it as free/bonus kills.
Buffing his primary is not necessary in the slightest as it will make him near OP. You have to learn to maneuver with him and think of this mobility as a weapon. And learn to good with THAT. Once you can control his movement (elusiveness and evasion) then his primary weapon almost becomes a secondary thought. If you run up on people and try to brute-strength your way to these kills, then more than likely you will be disappointed.

@Pheesley I use Imp a lot of the time as a zombie, because despite his low damage, I really like his high rate of fire. Compared to other attack characters, his primary seems to dish pretty low damage but has lots of ammo and speed to make up for it. His mech's explosive escape and other abilities seem to really benefit the Imp as well! 🙂
