Vori Blisterbacks and new buff might be broken**

So blisterbacks are being buffed.

Voridius and his blisterbacks drop goo each hit which seems to still glitch vehicles, grizzlys at the least. And it hits incredibly hard with t3 air.

Lets make sure we really want to buff blisterbacks and leave the goo puddle how it is Got a full 100 pop with nightingales army wiped in seconds by 4 blisterbacks.

I never see it used and maybe nobodys realize how broken it may be, but its a mess and needs to be adressed in this next patch especially if blisterbacks are being buffed and kodiaks nerfed.

Makes Serina and Anders look weak in the seige game already. Surprised it isnt used more.

  1. You would need to invest 2 leader points into a T3 ability for the blisterbacks to shoot goo per shot.
  2. If you do this, he literally has nothing except a mine and grenadier drop which are pretty bad compared to every other leader.
  3. Blisterbacks are pretty terrible right now and have literally no armor.
  4. Vehicle glitch isn’t really a thing unless you all unit with like a grizzly. (Tested this a week ago)
  5. I’d love to see the video of the 100 pop army melting to see what exactly happened.

I am so tired of this voridus has been nerfed to oblivion i mean he is still viable but not op hey why don’t you just cloak you army at make them invincible I have a couple recommendations for you if you ask

I don’t see the issue. As Jeff Kills said, you need 2 leader points to get to that point, not to mention the T3 required to make Blisterbacks.

The fact of the matter is they should be punishing and his should be the best. The fact we think his blisters will be a problem but we’ve been living with Serina, Anders, and Forge Kodiak says a lot.

I will concede that the glitch needs to be fixed.

Right but everyones using forge because grizzlys are game enders. We cant fight grizzly to grizzly with goo glitching ours.

You dont need mine or grenadier drop as most people usually get it for the endgame to increase the spread of goo for cata, or atleast thats when its most valuable.

Best idea would be go combat spoils 1-2 like soneone whos smart would. Then the two points into the blisterback goo and then either maelstorm or cata.

I didnt record it, but it was pretty clear what was killing my -Yoink-, I’m not an idiot or one of those guys who just comes up with nonsence.

Blisterbacks with goo, sneak behind base, deploy, cata, move over to otherbase and deploy while cata still active is a double base wipe faster then banshees when they were op. Imagine ill be seeing it sooner rather then later.

Im just stating that if this is the last balance update and this ends up being more broken then i think it is now after the patch, we are stuck with it.

Look into it before just stating that hes left with no leader points. Deci doesnt have many crazy usable op abilities either and hes a beast. So abilities like this should obviously be considered not just stated that because he used 2 lp on a power its bad compared to everyother leader when the entire fight is LAYED with goo.

Do you think id be mentioning this if i didnt think it was worse then Serina or Anders…? Im telling you, we get stuck with this because its not looked at by how it sounds and it ends up being 10 times worse with the next update its gonna suck and were stuck with it

One smack down by the best Voridus in the game and it’s broken? We just out played you Lol. If that was your first encounter with it, how do you know it’s broken? We pushed you with way more than 4 blisters by the way. Figure out the counter. I’m one of the very few using Vori, no more nerfs!!! It was an awesome game.

Plenty use vori. And it didnt say it broken. Im saying it may end up being broken after the update buffa blisterbacks if its not looked into especially considering the fact that kodiaks are being nerfed, it may end up being like serinas kodiaks except mobile. Shreds ground. And easily assisted with air. Its infusion damage 2 aswell, with a buff to damage and splash, might just get abit to crazy. Now its fine, its tough but fine. But after the update idk.

You know with the AA nerf and Air getting a complete rehaul it won’t be so “OP” as you think.
If you already think it’s still gonna be broken with 2 T3 Leader Points being put into it to make a One Unit Viable then rip you.
If they sneak behind your base with Blisterbacks thats a you problem, not the units. They’ll die to any Offensive power since that have barely any armor.

Best voridus player? Really?

We shouldn’t quickly disregard things like this.
If someone has an idea of a potential balance issue post patch it should be tested or at least some discussion as to why it might (or might not) be too powerful. There is alot to be tested and I would guess that the devs cannot think of every possible interaction to test or look out for. This has already been proven.

It does not hurt to test it and make sure it is not an issue before it potentially becomes one.

If it becomes a problem specific to that passive for Blisterbacks - the time goo stays on the ground (which has been brought down each patch) is something that can be looked at. The only change that is being made to Blisterbacks is the addition of a final outer ring to the damage.

The current implementation is a 12 radius ring of 100% damage and a 2nd 18 radius ring that does 50% damage.
The new change will add a 20 radius ring (so only 2 more) that contains a 15% damage radius.
Kodiaks as well has a 22 radius ring prior to this patch with 25% damage and that was made smaller and weaker at the most outer of the splash damage ring.

Both Blisterbacks and Kodiaks now have the same size rings with identical damage falloff and this accounts both corrupted and non-corrupted Blisterbacks. They are split out as two separate units so if your fear does end up being a reality it is something I can independently tackle, but would need overwhelming proof as with so many nerfs to corrupted prior - I’m hesitant to continue bringing him down.

  1. Vehicle glitch isn’t really a thing unless you all unit with like a grizzly. (Tested this a week ago)

It shouldn’t be a thing whatsoever, watch this clip.

I know the emp mac stunned them, but before that, there was a 5 - 10 second window when they didn’t move. I believe you when you say it only happens when you “all units” them, but it shouldn’t happen at all :sob:

Pro tip on the " Vehicle glitch", if you keep spamming a location like a saw floymicus doing in the clip then the units will keep resetting direction and keep getting the first 2 second initial slow. If you literally click a spot and wait 1 second for the units to pick up speed then they will not be “glitched” and simply move at a slower speed to where ever you told them to go.

Its funnier because he edited it just to say that. Yea right. @mack And not the portion im talking about. There was 4 blisterbacks, and that was all that was there atm and we wiped it with a scatter after it wiped me. Ill out vori you anyday, it was just mezmorzing to see goo glitch our forge army and wipe my army regardless of nightingales in seconds

Sounds good.

Part of me thinks in that clip it wasnt that though. My sentinal got stuck aswell rght next to him and it wasnt spamming him away. Only after 5 seconds or so did i try moving him again.

But thanks for the info, ill definately keep that in mind.
