huntress

[Tzar-TZ]

is it just me, or is huntress just objectively the best character. has fast shoot movement and auto turns to shoot at enemy direction. im trying to use any other character but i feel like they suck in comparison.

huntress is such an easy way to get to final stage but i struggle otherwise.

ik there will be lots of ppl saying "skill issue" and they are probably right but the difference between huntress and the other characters just feels too big to me

Have you tried jumping before you shoot to keep your momentum? I have the feeling you keep shooting whilst on the ground, which is kind of a very bad idea for most characters (you slow down too much).

Huntress is the easiest character to break into the game with. Her and Commando are just so highly versatile, theyre pretty much the Mario of the 2d games.

But i will say that once you really get a handle on the game, you should try some of the other characters. Actually being able to direct your damage is night and day imo.
Like for example: Sniper is probably the best all around character when it comes to easy damage, able to take out entire groups in a couple quickly timed shots, and then can pack on insane damage on single targets at the same time.
And hes not the only really good character either. Each of the characters has something really unique that they highly specialize in. Like Pilot with mobility, Enforcer with defense, Engie with running like a little ♥♥♥♥♥ and leaving a trail of death behind him, etc.

honestly never realised that this was a thing. but, if i try to keep momentum, i will have to shoot in that direction no?

Huntress and Acrid are my 2 favourite at the moment and my most successful.

Huntress has been really popular with friends when they started playing

until you get sniper

Definitely the easiest to get into the game for sure but I'd call her mid when there's characters like Acrid, Loader and Miner in the game. Hell, I'd probably put HAN-D before her even.

Yeah, (AFAIK) only Huntress can shoot + move backwards without any real movement penalty. Other characters (usually) have to stop shooting for a bit to dodge attacks. Don't forget that a lot of attacks can be dodged by just jumping, meaning you don't have to stop shooting.

Huntress is pretty strong, I just find her boring...
