Nexus and Aether feel a bit underwhelming

[Dan brDorman]

Nexus is kind of useless in PvP and there seem to be a lack of moments where enemies are all close together, As well as you have no actual way to cancel it on affected enemies, forcing it to drain.

Aether drains rather quickly even while crouching, But it does shine in it's moments, but I am better off with something like Havoc or Karnesis.

[Historian]

Nexus is for assassinating a large group close together. It's invaluable for stealth play IMO.

Just skip PVP if you're doing a stealth run, go SP.

[Zergem]

Aether is excellent with upgrades, can quietly kill many eternalists without breaking invisibility.

[Daidaedra]

one of the nexus upgrades makes it so that the target auto connects to eternalist nearby.
As juliana if colt fights eternalists or gets chased if you throw it at him he connects to them as soon as he gets close. now you just have to kill the eternalist. depending on how much lag you have that is easier than hitting colt himself.
i know its not meta or something but i have more fun using different things every time instead of the same method every single time.

Aether with the Ghost upgrade is invaluable in PvP. You’ll always be the one ambushing the loser invading if you if you’re patient.

[LoboFH]

Upgrade them and you will see them shine.

You could just rush her instead of wasting your time. You get three lives and upon her death, get your lives back. I don't know why anyone would leave invasion on if they need to aether up until killing her. Sounds boring IMO.

I've always laughed at anyone using that skill in PvP. Maybe if it didn't make you MORE visible to a player it would be useful.

Aether with Ghost and Flicker is the single most powerful PvP slab in the game. It is actually insane. Use a rifle, sniper, or shotgun. Sit in a corner for 30 minutes until you eventually get a potshot and win. It's stupid, and I hope at least the Ghost upgrade is changed.

Aether/ghost is the most boring thing anyone could do for pvp.
Use it against the AI juliana, but its so anoying in pvp.

I had it a few times that colt just sits in a corner for 15 minutes then slowly creeps to the antenna and crawls to the exit for another 15 minutes.

If you want to play pvp then actually fight. And don´t waste both players times.
I have no problem to get absolutly destroyed as juliana, as long as colt actually fights me.

this is not directed to anyone here but to everyone who hides in pvp:
Do us both a favor and either die or end me but don´t waste my time.

PVP in deathloop is a cat n mouse game. The stealth approach is valid, though of course camping sucks. Cole still has to move through the map and you can see invisibles. You just have to actively hunt them. When Juliana loads in and I'm playing Colt my objiective becomes to hunt Jules down.

there is also a nailgun with a perk that lets you tag colt if you land a shot anywhere near him. I like to bring it in case of an afk player.

or i think thats different one where i actually have to hit the target

as julianna? I haven't really noticed many options and I'm out of unlocks.

EDIT: oh wait, yeah you are talking about the ones that mark on hit. Yeah not those

Ghost + Flicker on Aether actually breaks the AI in PvE as well, while also being the strongest slab for PvP.

The Eternalists are incapable of actually attacking you when you fire from Stealth and have Flicker active. The local enemies will become alert to your presence from the sound of gunfire and all rush towards you, but they won't be able to return fire or trigger a map-wide danger alarm. Combine that with the Personal Trinkets that increase Max HP and allow you to drain HP when your Energy runs out, and you can just stand in the open while stealthed and treat the game like a shooting gallery.
