Rose the Overlord
I don’t think this even needs explaining, I know a lot of characters got really buffed, but rose is as if the entities above sacrificed themselves to make a terminator destined to end all life on ear...

I haven't used too many of the upgrades for Rose yet, but I'm assuming that some are very good while others aren't as good. In 1v1 situations, I find it relatively easy to vanquish opponents, but it mostly depends on the health and speed of the opponent. @ToastedSarnie Most of the Rose upgrades seem fine and work well, while others might need tweaking, I have to agree with you there.
@TheSprinter85 Yes, it's tricky - I think 1 vs 1 very much depends on your opponent & how close you are to them.
There's one upgrade in particular I remember that should be useful but isn't because it's seriously buggy - can't think what it is off the top of my head, but think it's to do with missile speed???

- @ToastedSarnie You’re thinking about Thistle Missle.
I avoided that perk in GW2 and I’m avoiding it in BFN as well because increasing the shot speed of the homing thistles actually seems to give them less time to course correct so while it’s a handy perk in some situations it seems to impair others - Just wondering if anyone is playing rose with revive upgrades...
@JusticeHeroX I favour Revive upgrades. I am using her with "Super Saviour" and "Revive Reward" upgrades, because I favour reviving people and do it a lot. It allows me to gain free revives in the middle of battles without dying.
@ToastedSarnie Yes, it was Thistle Missile you were talking about. I gave Thistle Missile a try, it doesn't always seem to work correctly/the way I'd like it to. It seems like an excellent upgrade, but it can also be a very annoying one to work with. It's probably better to use the "Time Snare" upgrade or something. So, I don't really use it particularly. I agree with @realitysquared on that point.
@ippig Generally, if you are using her and have no teammates around you, she becomes much weaker and easier to defeat (or if you are out of range of her homing).
- @TheSprinter85 Nice to hear that. Nothing like Enigma to protect while reviving. 🙂 How ironic that rose is better for reviving than sunflower...
- @JusticeHeroX I personally don't have the revive upgrades on as I've mained Sunflowers for years in GW & GW2 and reviving is just something I do, no matter what I'm playing - it's an automatic reaction, I don't care about gaining health for doing it.
It's so true & sad what you say about Rose being able to revive better - my BFN stats show I've revived more plants as Rose, Night Cap & Citron than I've managed as Sunflower (& not for want of trying 😥) @JusticeHeroX Super Saviour an excellent upgrade to use for Rose, it only costs 1 upgrade point, is automatically unlocked, and allows you to Enigma revive. That gives you free XP and gives a free speed boost to the revived teammate, as well as having assistance in a fight. I think it's really good to use (but a bit evil too 👿). I love this upgrade and I suggest that people use it when playing as Rose. It's also excellent because you can assist your teammates in battle while reviving via a Jinx or a Goatify in the zombies' general direction. I've even been Gravity Grenaded and still revive people.
@ToastedSarnie I LOVE reviving people! I do it for fun! In GW2, I did it so much that I would sometimes try to revive someone right in the middle of the opposing team, that's how much I enjoyed it, which is why I really liked the healer characters! I find reviving much easier in BFN because the ability to strafe slightly and of Rose and Citron being really good at reviving (Rose because of "Super Saviour" and Citron can shield himself and teammates behind him while doing so without any upgrades). It doesn't which character I am, I still revive people. There are lots of people who don't revive, I'm not one of them. I think the healer support characters should have more perks to help them revive as well (try Sunflower with "Super Saviour" upgrade and see if she can Sunbeam while doing so, I haven't tested it yet!😇).
- @TheSprinter85 Great! Yes, the Super Saviour is a good one generally.
I find it harder reviving as a rule in BFN, as I miss being able to jump revive to a safer position, though.
Am also disappointed that the Rose upgrade Epiphany only heals yourself - I miss the GW2 Arcane Lotus.
Support characters definitely need more reward. Without that, especially as Rose & Engineer don't build teleporters, there will always be less emphasis on the support role. @ToastedSarnie I agree, support characters need more reward. Having this upgrade (Super Saviour) is one of the best perks about them. I think that Rose and Engineer should be able to also revive as fast as a healer support. I really liked using Arcane Lotus in GW2, I bought it as soon as I first saw the alternate ability. The "epiphany" upgrade seems to heal you more, but it does not heal your teammates, I think it should heal teammates too, but cost 5 upgrade points instead of 4.
