So I have been curious about this for awhile (after the release of Valeria). Now that Shamash has been released into the present world and is evil plus has an army...I can only imagine MSE will make a new local enemy type. Which makes me question...What will make them different from the other factions? Wardogs rush in groups, Hades are tactical and use cover more, and fifth council are tanks. Fifth council also have fancier toys like the mine layers and drones. So what does the local class have? Well if we look at the local raiders they are stress free but with lowered health...So will the enemy type be like that? If so I have some concerns...

1) Melee elites... If the are stress free that could be terrifying.

2) Will the Local enemy type get fancy toys like the fifth council? If so PLEASE don't add any flying enemies...

3) How low will their health be? I am looking at this in the sense of an antagonist. The antagonist already don't have a lot of add help in high MMR so having a enemy type that is naturally low on health may not be amazing on their end.

4) This is more so of a concept then a concern. I think it would be cool if Uras came back. In the "Enemy Within" boss fight in the cut scene he gets away...so if Shamash is a boss fight why not give him two stages? One stage is just normal Shamash then the next Uras possess Shamash's dead (or weakened) body and turns him into a beast.

I was thinking about weapon concepts for some raiders then that lead me to thinking about what cards would benefit those guns. Then I realized there are card concepts that would fit the players so well yet they aren't in the game. I came up with two ideas (that other players could have said already...I haven't seen any post about this).

Shae: "Reduce the time it takes to lock onto a target by X%. If you have an aleph super boost it increases to X%"

Sooma: "Shielded allies stress meter are X% less sensitive. If you have an aleph super boost shielded allies stress is shut off." OR "Shielded allies stress meter is shut off for X amount of time. If you have an aleph super boost shielded allies stress meter is shut off for X(longer) amount of time."

I will probably add more as I think of them but this is all for now. MSE you can plug in the numbers because I don't know how the numbers work in game. Love you MSE <3

I think the primary shot's ricochet is more random while his secondary is more accurate. I think of Ginebra's rare whenever it comes to the secondary fire mode just an actual laser rather just the aiming (hope that makes sense...) I think the primary is suppose to be good at close range while the secondary is suppose to be used for long range and getting enemies behind cover...however, I find the secondary fire mode WAY better so much so that I don't see the use of using the primary fire mode.

Oh and the secondary fire mode eats through more ammo...but as Konstantin you probably wont have that issue as much

no. but i gladly want you to show me how you blast her down in the air with hatchet for example.
like for valeria, they are no counter, they just have a chance to survive her, with fat better bets on alicia.

Valeria does have counters...they just aren't highly picked counters. Harec is the best counter for a Valeria. That also depends on the map however. Missions like hanging by a thread she is MUCH stronger on if she locks down your spawn point

No. Every match is like this.

Smoking Daisy isn't overpowered. It is a useful gun yes but lets look at her other guns.

Novera = only good with a certain card set up
Eager = personally I find it a joke, however, I suppose is okay with a card set up
Rock n Roll = the long range, explosive, risk free child of Novera and Smoking daisy
Painkiller = good if you wanna shot your teammates.

She only has two good weapons and on top of that she has to be pretty close to guarantee a kill (with the expectation of Rock n Roll). People keep complain about this and that being overpowered until it gets to the point were that raider or weapon becomes terrible. Schneider with his health halfed, Ginebra being stressed in cougar form, Valeria's gun The Whip is just awful. Basically be careful with what you wish for because if MSE listens it will be a struggle for them to change it back.

There tricks to aim with sadhu, if you do a "corner" shot as in you aim to enemy that only in one corner of your screen you will shot only him, also reload cards is a thing, so ppl who use dont have 6 second of reload time problem, same way its really strong in cqc, just pop from corner and do a shot, boom wounded enemy. It just give to much, there like.... no shae on higher levels that wont use sad-hu... sure i cant say its brokenly OP... but it does need some decent nerf.

"decent nerf" is the key word. I am worried it will follow Valeria's Whip and become over nerfed...that's the only reason I made this post is to voice my concern.

So I know raiders like Alicia and Hans dominate the air, however, I am curious if there will be any more flying based raiders. Yes, I know there are other raiders like Harec and Schneider can also be useful when positioning in a higher up but I am talking about a raider who can fly around like Alicia and Hans. Maybe a sort of zipline that the raider can fire off of or maybe like Ginebra and it transforms into a flying drone? I don't know I am just curious
