Don't play silly solo rush flamer when in team, bring a tesla instead or a gun to kill aliens, but the "jack of all trade" flamer is neither the best crowd control weapon nor the best killing weapon, so it can shine in lower diff where you don't need such damage/such crowd control, but otherwise it's pretty bad, especially with a team :)ĮDIT : funny enough, in your video, you take the wrong weapon in both scenario. Instead, you will rush alone, triggering everything, sometimes burning your teammates because why not.įlamer is good for low difficulty (aka noobs) or solo play, and for those who are trying to do a bbq, but for teamplay? Flamer is very bad, and will annoy/angry ppl. Just making drones burn (aka, you will pass through) is not helping your team (they will not pass through after you, because the stun doesn't last that long and movespeed isn't lowered as much as with tesla). In brutal (asbi/etc.), you either want to get the most crowd control weapon, or you want to kill stuff. If you want to solo, and don't care about making slowing drones the most to help your team, then yeah, you can do the infamous flaming spiral, and yeah, because it's half damage, half crowd control, you will even kill drones by flaming them! (not in insane/brutal though) but otherwise? It's pretty awful to play with a flamer user, hence why they often get kicked from harder difficulty lobbies. You can also WAY MORE EFFECTIVELY help your team against shieldbug/horses/buzzers, and with even regular drones in general, because the tesla slows more, stuns more, last longer, and can be re-applied way more easily than flamer (because of no ff + tesla autotarget if close enough from 1st target). TL DR tesla cannon is a better crowd control tool for harder difficulties, as you can shoot without being afraid of ff (or having to have weird position). you just have to fire a shot and for being a flamer it has a solid rangeĪnyway that was the point of it, to discuss and see what you guys think as wellġ) Do some damage (only true up to hard difficulty)ġ) You can't shoot with hardcore ff (if u don't want to burn teammates)Ģ) Mostly used by noobs in high difficulty, which then do the infamous flaming spiral and get kicked for burning teammatesģ) Kind of a pro, but in the end a cons : flamer users don't know how to extinguish.Ģ) Very efficient against shieldbug, horses, and buzzersģ) Reduce the time it takes for aliens to shoot (unlike flamer) : mortars/ranger will shoot less frequently you don't have wait for the enemy to get connected to the beam like the However, it's a good choice when stun is required in harder difficulties. Tesla is not required in easier difficulties, which makes it seem useless as compared to other weapons. ~ Some missions require it, good for burning biomass/parasites (though there are alternatives)įlamer is a more casual weapon that outshines alternatives in versatility (killing, stunning, crowd control, burning) but the fact that it is versatile means that it is under par to other weapons in higher difficulties. + Better with less people (versatile in lower difficulties) Originally posted by Crimatore:Both are valid weapons, but your representation as flamer as superior (in all situations, which I assumed) unfairly showcases the potential of both.
