i feel that most of the leader hero units need some attention.like in the first game the battle revolved around them, but now you barely see them.like forges warthog i dont think ive seen once in a online match.(plus can someone tell me what forges support drone on his warthog does , from what i can tell its just doing nothing ,if it was like the jackrabbits drone were it shoots and heals maybe people would pick him). oh and give atriox chosen and the honour guard a special ability(like a cluster shot for chosen and a instant shield recharge for guard after his third upgrade) thats just my opinion if you got any ideas on buffing or just generally improving heros leave them below🙂
I believe the support drone with Forge fires the anvil round once it’s unlocked. Or it could simply be the source of the nano bots that surround forge’s Hog.
As for the leader buffs; Atriox’s chosen is considered by many to be the only viable leader to build. He doesn’t really need any buffs whatsoever. The other leaders need to be brought up to his level and then you may see them alot more. My personal favourite is Decimus’ warlord so i always have one of him built. He can fight most ground units surprisingly well and his pull ensures that almost nothing can escape him or your force. The Spartans come to mind when i think of hero buffs as I almost never build them. They don’t do enough damage and imo are the worst heroes in the game.
Some buff ideas ive had for the spartans for awhile now, basicly make them specialize against certain units once you get their weapon upgrade:
Jerome: The spartan laser should make him an effective counter to vehicles, so make him do more damage to them when you unlock it.
Douglas: The rocket launcher should make him much more effective against air units.
Alice: Make her the anti-infantry spartan since she has the chaingun.
I have a friend who uses the honor guard to harass the backline of the enemy and take out forces without detectors like freshly build bases and infantry squads. He is pretty effective when used that way.
As for the other heroes…The movement speed buff to the hunter captain helped him a bunch but people still only build him really for garrisons I say make him as effective as a hunter squad against vehicles and he could see more use, and Kinsano is decent enough to hold her own against most threats with flamewall capable of dealing massive damage to almost anything.
Now i always build a hero (Minus the spartans), and i don’t see them to be that useless. But they do need help in some areas.
