griffin denies it pretty heavily pretty much the trappers are the strongest in my opinion against the kraken since the kraken relies on being agile to a degree and get it on the ground and it immediately tips in the hunters favour

Have your jetpack full at all times, so you can evade all of his abilities

I don't know if it's still the case, but tranqs used to take him out of the sky along with stasis nades and crows gun.

Harpoons work if you use them right or place them in good spots. If you are playing Griffin, don't just harpoon him whenever. Kraken's head is huge, use his smg to get that 2x damage, when Kraken is moving towards medic or something use the harpoon to hold him back.

Other than that all his abilities are gnarly and if you don't save your jetback you're gonna get hit, but they all have a pretty long channel time. Don't clump up, I know its way easier to say that or even know it. When you're fighting him instict is to like run towards assault or fly towards a buddy. All his abilities just smash clumped up hunters.

I still lose a lot to Kraken and Elder Kraken and mostly its from terrible dome placement. the team not saving jetpacks, and clumping up. When I've won it's because we kept kiting him into damage and staying close but not clumped.

No, I just mentioned him cause someone else in the thread mentioned his harpoon.

As a medic, what I do is separate myself a bit from the group, on a higher ground somewhere. If it focuses me I jump to a different hill/structure, and keep doing that. If you're not on a high ground, you stand no chance.

If it's focusing your group, just keep healing from where you are, only come down when you have to burst heal.

Well, that's what I do on Caira anyway.

u can pull him down to earth with trapper harpoons, once without mobility hes easy
