Wing Diver as always OP

[GamepadPro]

In EDF 5, Wing Diver and Air Rider are OP.
Now there are new teleporters with a shield, so Air Raider can no longer blast them from afar with an autocannon. But Wing Diver is not hindered at all; strike quickly and fly away from the danger zone. I managed this very difficult mission immediately, where I had no chance with other classes. The frontaldash always allows you to escape to the other end of the map.
And rangers are hopelessly lost, of course. This mission, where you encounter the red ants for the first time, I still couldn't get it right with Ranger. (on Hard)

Some weapons do bonus damage to shields. Bring one of those, and then the shield isn't a problem. The Air Raider is the most-changed of the classes.

Watch the red ants. They rear back a little, and then charge. That's when they want to bite you. That's when you do a dodge roll. And if you don't have a shotgun for your Ranger, replay a few missions until you do. Shotguns are the natural enemies of red ants.

Seeing a specific class as op probably just means you're more effective in that role. Nothing wrong with that. In terms of Wing Diver, yeah if you can avoid enemy attacks while dishing out your own you will feel at least a little op. That is basically the point of that class.

Good play wingdiver then

And you can collect all the upgrades much better than with other classes.

Good point. Some days I am terrible at WD and perform wonderful as Fencer. For me anyone with mobility at the right moment becomes OP. Even the Ranger if you bring the right gear.

I always had most problems playing Wing Diver in EDF 5, running out of energy fast and getiing one shoted on Inferno.

She's always excelled at close range, how is she at long ranged though

Im having a great time with Fencer, Power Blade w Blast Spear for CQB and Gatling Gun w Cannon for Flyers and Long Range. Able to blast through most missions on hard so far.

With the right weapons she basically doubles as artillery.

If you are left alone and 50 monsters come, then you can't do much with the Ranger (without motorcycle and roads). With the Fencer you can just about escape with a 4xdash and reload, but it's difficult. With the Wing Diver, every monster horde doesn't matter, the fight can be dragged out as long as you like. And with the Air Raider, you can prevent a situation like this in advance, e.g. with the Heavy Bomber Viesta, otherwise you can use the Vehicle Grape to escape.

Every class can either respond to hordes or prevent in advance them being a threat though, played properly and paying attention.

I dont know I have a lot of trouble with Wing Diver when I have to deal with a lot of type 2 drones because they stay so high up in the sky and are pretty difficult to hit with most wing diver long range weapons, and ones that can hit them somewhat easily doesnt really kill them fast enough compared to other classes and usually end up being swarmed and die very fast to them. But again I could be just dont know what weapon to use against them other than closed laser.

[GamepadPro]

Yes, you can't flee from drones and then it becomes difficult. But there are very few missions with such drones. Otherwise you can hide between houses and under bridges. Then only the red drones are dangerous.
I completed the mission where you encounter red drones for the first time with the Fencer (on Hard). You can use a shield and shoot with a big cannon. But how am I supposed to do that with Ranger?

don't know what your on i still wreak with air raider its all about the tools you bring i soloed a bunch of krulls as the last one standing just rolling around spaming stun drones. vesta and 180MM i was rolling around for like 20 mins against i think 15-20 krulls

Stun drones are one of the best new additions for air raider. Stunlock enemies for a long time to get shots in.

Shielded teleporter anchors though are a massive pain as they hard counter like 95% of air raider arsenal.
