Here's a quickie tip some people might benefit from:
~~~~~~~~~~ Sneaky Reloading ~~~~~~~~~
As a Variant of Citron who has an ammo pool rather than a beam weapon (Toxic, Electro, Mech) it is possible to tap the reload button before activating your Ball Form. This will have Citron reload his weapon while he is in ball form ensuring when you morph back into assault form, he will have a full clip. He will also reload automatically if you use all of your ammo and then morph into ball form. This comes in handy as I would often go into ball form to escape someone who had targeted me. While running I would encounter someone I could sneak up on and ambush them with only 3 bullets in my clip! Argh!!! Then I have to reload while they know I'm there, talk about humiliating.
This also works with some other characters as well.
Tapping reload before activating Arcane Enigma on any Rose will ensure you have a full clip available when your Enigma wears off, giving you that much needed extra edge over a Super Brainz ambusher or providing you with the ability to keep the pressure on without having to reload.
Tapping reload before activating Sunbeam on the Sunflower will allow you to have a full clip when you exit your Sunbeam mode!
The Zombie side can benefit from this too ~.^ Despite Citron benefiting the most.
The Imp can tap reload before his Impkata and come out with full Ammo ready to pepper your would-be rivals after your super spinning special smash skill! This can really come in handy! He can also reload before calling his Mech, ensuring his explosive escape comes with no ammunition expended from any previous encounter!
The Pirate can tap reload before his Barrel or Cannon Rodeo to ensure full clip after he's done. Not the Parrot however. Also, pressing Circle on Ps4 will allow you to leave barrel mode without needing to light the fuse, this way you don't have to go through that second long jump into the air after a speed boost.
The Engineer is a pretty quirky guy, he can tap reload before big bolt blaster and it will work, but here's his quirk, he can use any of his skills while reloading and it will not disrupt the reload. In fact, you can throw a sonic grenade half way through your reload and it will still be half way done, meaning he can just spam his weapon and not worry about his reload being affected by the jackhammer or grenade.
This does not work with: Colonel Corn (His abilities all have ammo pools), Peashooter (He makes the reload sound going into Gatling mode but does not reload), Cactus (She reloads after exiting Garlic Drone despite the sound being played during Drone), Foot Soldier (Every skill stops his reload period), Scientist (Warp and Bomb skill interrupts the reload) and Hovergoat 3000 (Speed Boost and Laser gun disrupt reload)
These are very small tactics to bear in mind. There is also a great advantage to having a full clip when you need it most. Especially when you play these fast classes who must use a lot of ammo but also disrupt their firefight to use a skill.
Thanks for XP people and please keep gaming! See you all out on the Vanquishing field!
