Pilot best character?
With the alternate kit, pilot quickly became my favourite character in the game. Not only are both the primary and secondary strong as hell, the airstrike feels amazing too. Honorary mention to skipping past the entire map with one dash cheese

Of the new characters he's definetly my favourite, both very useful basic attacks, fun gimmick of being constantly airbone and all of his attacks hit surprisingly hard

Diagonal shot tracks enemies pretty reliably and has a fast cooldown. Definitely one of my favorite command sacrifice glass run characters.

Pffbt, he's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ insane. Managed to level him up into an AC-130 with some Command artifacts. Eventualy I was always in the air, essentialy VAPORIZING anything else pulsating with life. Good character, yeah. Strong enough to break the difficult furst loop level.

Pilot is super fun yeah, he's got some unique mobility and a great anti air option and backup mags are amazing with him, plus his entire kit both alt skills and default are all useful in my experience

probably third favorite character to play, alongside merc and enforcer with enforcer being my current fave

The pilot is just huntress that can only shoot in V formation or upside down, can run on walls on maps that actually have walls or gives you a second jump with slow descent, and stole engineer's mines. Why would that be the best character be that when you can play as Santa, with the abilities such as beating the crap out of enemies with your sack, use a block as your sleigh, put naughty enemies in your sack and either have the option to give yourself or your friends gifts, or alternatively turn any item you don't want into a more tolerable gift with recycle without relying on command artifact?

Not even close imo.
Not when there's characters like HAN-D, Loader and Acrid.

in my experience they were highly vulnerable to looping due to the enemies' scaling... But I admit, they're hell of a fun, especially HAN-D with his artless abilities :D

Being able to shoot flying enemies reliably already makes him the best character. :dd2horror:

His secondary attack is pretty nice when you have several magazines and reduce coldown on critical hit. With enough monsters you are up in the air.

Lets see... he has...

Easy to use primary that scale well with most items and covers his secondary's blind spot

Secondary with VERY lenient diagonal auto aim and FULL geometry piercing. Basically effective to the corners of your screen, make flying enemies a joke, can take down mobs in a different area code and can still burst large bosses next to you.

Movement that keeps him in the air, away from most enemies that were designed to only attack left/right. Oh also turns every vent into get out of jail cards.

Ult that repeatedly put enemies into his kill zone OR keep himself out of the enemy's kill zone longer

The only thing holding him back is his reliance on backup mags, but even with 2-3 + some movement items he can safely take down deadly enemies bc his kit is designed to let him do damage where enemies can't hit him back.

maybe his achilless' heel is being very brittle? He seems to have the least HP in the game, so without the precise mix of artifacts it takes one swift to mix up his plans.
