imagine playing a hero with a gadget that pubbies are immune to because nobody actually drone scouts

you might as well pick recruit and have another secondary tool

Yeah this was my impression too, his gadget only matters in high ranked where people actually use drones, and it's going to be incredibly ineffectual there because players are actually good. He should just be completely invisible on drones and cameras all the time.

Ha, I never realised you get extra points for killing Ela as Zofia (and vice versa I guess). "Congratulations, you just murdered your very own sister. Here's a commendation!" :allears:

Anyhow, somebody help me decide on which attacker to get next. Currently I'm torn between Hibana (decent gun, great gadget), Zofia (good guns, good gadget), and Dokkaebi (Awesome shotgun, not a huge fan of DMRs, alright gadget) and can't quite make up my mind.

Hibana is a hard breacher so get her, especially if no one you play with plays her or Thermite. She's very useful and has good guns, plus the machine pistol that is mandatory on every new DLC operator.

extra lols because once people figure out that iq pairs perfectly with smokkaebi, vigil will only be even harder to play

i think he will get buffed because even tachanka brings more utility at this point

Yeah but vigil gets the Bosg 12.2 which is a railgun

i think it might be my favorite thing in the update. i have just been using him to rush spawn every round because you can cheese 1-2 kills. it will at the very least down whoever you hit at practically any range. and in casual you can literally just run around the entire outskirts of the map if you have to to break line of sight and still get back in the building before they can get a shot on you because they all spawn in the same loving place :kimchi:

hibana owns. if you're playing seriously to win matches i think she's one of the best in the entire game

zofia will be slampicked until she's nerfed but she is probably one of the best right now if you just want to brawl your way through gunfights without using a shield

i'm still learning dokkaebi but if you don't like DMRs I wouldn't recommend her over the other two unless you want to play a more support focused role even though her loadout makes her capable of holding her own. kinda like a jackal/valk hybrid more often than not.

and if you are just playing her for the korean shotgun then imo get vigil because he rules for surprise jump out flanks against attackers and when that gets boring you still have the assault rifle. if you like roaming with jager or cav you'll enjoy vigil even though his ability isn't amazing

Right now I think Vigil is in that OG IQ state where his gadget is trash but his guns are good enough that he still gets play.

Vigil is best when you just slap his gadget quickly to see if a drone is around you. If you are clear then you can roam easier. Repeat occasionally. If you get interference then you move. Using it for long periods is kinda meh most times.

So playing in casual down to one v one (of which i am unfortunately neither survivor) and our teammate downs the enemy zofia walks up to her and the mission ends with all friendlies being killed.

Can someone let me know what happened? I know zofia has a hidden skill from chatter about her. Was that it?

She can self-revive, so she presumably stood up and killed your teammate.

Self-revive to 1hp. People figure because of her phoenix icon that self-revival was probably her original ability and then they decided to also give her a grenade launcher that's nearly as good as Ash and Ela's abilities combined.

If someone else picks her up she gets 50hp like normal though.

His effect really needs to go away, or else the ability needs to be passive, not active. As it stands his ability is exactly as powerful as repositioning to a different part of the room when you're spotted by a drone.

he should be able to see drones coming from a couple of rooms away while his power is active. Show IQs circle-thingys around them, maybe only have them update like every 2.5 seconds so he can't immediately snipe them down as long as they're moving, just see what rooms they're moving through and what direction they're coming from

it's not like he'd be all that more useful in the planning stage since you know when you're getting droned out and found anyways, plus it's a quick spot on the objective when you see it

I own Buck/Valkyrie and finally got enough Rainbow Bucks for a THIRD OPERATOR. Is Dokkaebei or Zofia more busted?

Zofia is more generally useful, but there are a lot of other operators I'd buy before either of those two.

if you like buck you'll like zofia because she has a toggle option for which way you want to grief op4

That was actually why I shied away from Ela and Dokkabei. Real waifu poo poo. Someone's gonna pick her obsessively every match. I ended up getting Zofia because I love grenades + her pistol is rad.

I have three regrets
The first is to be born in Joseon.
there's definitely that sorta attitude but you see Ela every game mostly because she's still stupidly overpowered, and Dokkaebi just came out last week. I see Vigil and Zofia pretty much every game too.

Zofia's the easiest to par with another operator, you just pop grenades into a window your buddy is peeking through.
