Ajax is practically useless

[WaggishBean13]

Ajax is the defacto team defence and support character, wall and dome to protect allies from damage and provide protection for revives, and his Expulsion augment to further improve his team support and reviving potential.

There is however a major problem, his defensive abilities to protect against AoE and "orbital"attacks (attacks that target players from the sky and are choreographed ahead of time).

For AoE attacks, the main projectile is blocked my the wall/dome, but the AoE damage effect still can damage anybody within its sphere of influence through the protective barrier.

For the "orbital" attacks, either from elite enemies or Colossi, the attack straight bypasses any sort of protection and hits the ground or the player.

With no defence against the "orbital" attack and very poor protection from AoE attacks, I ask again, what is the point of Ajax if he cant even defend himself?

[TyresTyco]

His point is probably just to be tanky af. He surely is a good tank.. but thats it. I gave up on him and main Freyna, Gley and Valby once I get them.

[JamesFatio]

He is not the best descendant by far, but if you play passive and don't want bullets to rain on you his skills work well for that.

Truth to be told i like Ajax but shield supose to be shield (orbit Barrier) and his hyper Cube has misinformation about situations as boss fights and in total all fights. Its useless in most scenarios and i try it my self. What is hisnrole for real...?

[Baphomeat]

He's really not... playing him is insanely boring... I literally stand still in every fight and rarely get my shield cracked... not that this too different than anyone else... I do the same thing with bunny except I can't tank the orbital attacks and other powerful hits... but for those you move to the left 3 feet and you're fine.

I have gotten through half of the game without ever using the aoe or wall shields... those abilities are the useless bits because you can't even use them for team mates cause people run around like spastic children like the enemies actually deal damage in the first place in this game stationary shields are pointless... because players fear the damage that the games enemies simply don't do.

I'm sure it gets a bit harder on hard mode but I am not even going to finish a normal run cause the overall game is just too easy... large HP bars doesn't make a boss hard... it just makes it boring.

I would play someone else but I hate bunny and her entire kit cause outside of the z ability you don't actually do anything to play her beyond run around like a child the day after halloween... and I have no patience to unlock anyone else with the obnoxious RNG and wait times. The slog of playing ajax is slightly better than the slog of unlocking another character.

Yep, devs should make his shields (skills) 100% not penetrable by AoE, its stupid to block huge energy ball coming your way just to get hit by explosion or shelter from frost attacks and still get frozen cuz mist cloud goes through. Stupid design.

[Pixie Paws]

Ajax needs buffs on his skills. They are working meh 75% of the time.

[God Hexe]

Enemies being able to walk through his bubble is absolutely stupid

Umm.........Void Charge?

It was know from the very beginning that Ajax is a tank period o.o
