Are Ardza Kavats Good?

[Beef n' Leaves]

I just incubated my first kavat, and it was an Ardza, so I was wondering if they're any good.

[fun time hippie]

imo, the adaraza is more constinent with its crit abilty, while the smeeta is really random with its abiltys.
both breeds are worth getting.

They grant you pretty much constant heavy buff to critical, significantly pumping up your damage output. They are good.

In fact, all Kavat breeds are good, Smeeta is potentially more powerful but also the most random thing in the world, while Adarza is less flashy, but more stable and reliable buffer-cat.

both kavats are good, ardza is very tanky and gives a flat crit boost to your weapons. so if your weapon has a 1% crit chance then it will go up to a 61% crit chance, so yes thats pretty good. all kavats have mods that they can share, a nice combo is allowing it to hit multiple ppl and then hits remove all armor. ardzas also have high dmg as well as high crit chance and crit multiplier so bite plus maul on it allows it to dish out a ton of dmg.

smeeta is also really good but smeeta is more random with one of 6 buffs, one is all red crits for 30 sec, another is powers cost no energy as long as you have enough power to use them for 10 sec, another is 120 seconds you have every booster in the game and it can stack with its self, another is insta reload, another is you gain a rare resouce, finally the last is you take no dmg on next attack and gain bonus shields (used to be increased by maul) not sure if still does though.

conclusion both are amazing

Less potential than a Smeeta but a lot more reliable since their Cat's Eye kicks in every 15 or so seconds with a single effect (60% bonus crit) instead of randomly picking from a dozen buffs every other 30 some odd seconds like the Smeeta's Charm.

Both are great, I much prefer the Adarza

nope, same problem like all pets... the Vitalstats are based on the frame. Tanky frame = tanky pet - Squishy frame = squishy pet.

tanky frame does = tanky pet, however ardazas other precept is somewhere from 75%-95% dmg reduction and bounces bullets back at enemsy with bonus dmg, she can take a beating because fo this, also the ability to heal when every you melee hit someone and the medi pet mod which gives it 6 hp per second regen on top of putting its bleed out timer to over a minute

without a tanky frame they can take a beating, with a tanky frame they become near unkillible for awhile until you start getting into crazy high lvs (they will eventually fall off though)

the reflect precept is nice but the 40% chance dosent make it "tanky" per say, and pack leader + medi kit only work aslong the cat dosent get oneshotted at that's where the real issue lies.

Not to mention Adarza's Cats Eye applies to squadmembers, whereas Charm only the owner.

Smeeta are great for solo play, and Adarza are great for group/party play.

smeeta 4 the win <3

we only need vacuum in kavats/kubrows
