The State of Citron
(I know there has been a thread on this but sorry can't seem to find it so posting a new one :/ ) Holy cow this character needs help. I've played through to Super Elite recently as my continued ques...

I disagree whole heartedly with shielding and firing for Citron unless other major nerfs are applied (to dash of 50% or more).
The problem with Naval Laser isn’t the damage or firing concept that needs work, it’s the ability to end the laser, if you’re exposed to incoming enemy fire.
Just my two cents but giving Citron the ability to ONE SHOT characters (with dash) ... is bad enough... give them the ability to dash and then throw up a shield during Naval Laser? There goes Soldier, Scientist, Pirate, and most likely all other characters caught off guard by the inaudible dash.
I think more people need to play Battle Aren and Team Vanquish to truly understand the balance of these characters. Sure a little drop off is needed for some but speaking for Citron, solely, he’s very near being at a good point I just don’t think shielding while shooting is the answer ( @realitysquared ) ...
@spIash_damageWhat damage is dash dealing? I never had the feeling of it being op. Compared to All Star Citron is just a bad joke. I know that it is hard to compare certain classes due to different abilities but Citron is not near being somewhat op. I would not mind to shield Naval Laser without any nerfs. There is a reason why nobody wants to play Citron.
Edit: damaging the shield while Naval Laser is active could reduce the Lasers duration.

The dash deals 75 hp now (one shot Imps).
Agreed but a proficient upgrade to his shield would change that (comparing Citron to All Star).
I just need to make a video of the potential of Citron. Team play is more vital in BA than most any mode I’ve played in any game and that’s what’s caused me to realize the power of Citron (as is). I can attack or support with him.
EDIT: @realitysquared the ability to pull up shield/cancel laser would be a good place to start. I just saw your reply.
