So is Terminus just that bad?

[Alex Jones The Globalist Killer]

His attacks are weak, every character can ourun him, he is a bulet sponge with not a lot of health, and his shield takes way too long to recharge. Am I missing something here or does he just suck?

Yes

I've never seen anyone play Terminus good. Though however, if you have the correct loadout *MAYBE* Terminus will be somewhat decent

[VaciVt]

His attack is not weak, 700 damage per hit. His shield is not taking long for cooldown. Yes, his job is to soak damage, hence the damage reduction cards and legendary. He was quite op before but now decent.

His attacks aren't eak at all.

If your character doesn't have more than 2.4k you're going to die in like 2-3 hits
As evie (1.8k) he kills me in like 2 hits
ill have to check though

The problem with that is that the flanking charcters with low health all can easily escape Terminus. They would have to be at low health and all their abilities used in order for terminus to kill them.

Depends on the map.

Depends on the team.

he had this one card that made him get X% of defense. this card made him a good melee, but it got changed to something like reduce jump cooldown. bring back IT WAITS for Terminus.

atm it is pretty bad compared to any other tank.

No, it was giving you X amount of charges after holding power siphon for 4 seconds, when they reduced duration of his ability this card got much weaker

as someone who chooses terminus as their "go-to" for competitive mode, i can justify that terminus truly is not that bad.


for one, his basic attacks deal i think either 700 or 800 damage per hit, and with calamity charges dealed to the same victim anywhere from 335 to 1,340 (if the +85 card is dealed for calamity charges) extra damage. additionally, his 'q' attack that stores calamity charges allows him to be a short-term shield, which is useful if the opposing team is directing their damage/flanks from a distance in lieu of trying to capture the objective. the 'f' attack also stuns/slows them quite a bit to use these attacks too


and even then, his 'e', or ultimate attack, is very very VERY great. if you take your enemies by surprise, 4,000 damage is dealed to every single one and it can mean a win/lose in a game situation.

tl;dr even though terminus could be considered as "weak" because he cant really attack from a distance, the powerups that make terminus who he is are preetttyyyy great if you look into it! honestly, terminus isn't for everyone but it's always worth giving him a shot

[EmeraldFoxDeity]

I don't know what Terminus must have been doing before all of his nerfs because he always seemed to under perform in matches I was in. I had found him quite easy to deal with from the moment he came out and yet he kept getting nerfs. So apaprently he had a fantastic winrate. I guess that means basically all of my matches with him were outliers. I just don't udnerstand his nerfs at all.

250 to 1250 (4 charges)

350 to 1750 with Devastation Legendary Card (+100 damage on calamity blasts)

If you take them by surprise, which is very hard to do because enemies can easily see when your ult is ready

Like other champs (my best example being Grohk), the right person on Terminus can swing the game. Yeah, he's a bad melee champs for the game, considering that he's slow with relatively light hitting attacks, but the right person can be deadly on him.

[Daxtheslayer]

I love playing terminus and I also do it well so yeah
