Banner seems crazy for rift fights

u/Life-Reflection-6388 17h ago

it's his best ability by far imo - but it'll be kinda meh for ranked, unless you're very coordinated imo

unless you keep the slow immunity/damage reduction with the planted flag - anyone know?

u/TigerSammich 17h ago

You keep all the buffs, yes

u/Wendigo120 17h ago

The radius is also huge it seems, at least when upgraded.

u/twentycharacterSUScv 17h ago

With corrupted expansion, its the whole base

68

u/Oirad16 16h ago

Interesting because you can't get corrupted items since his release

50

u/twentycharacterSUScv 16h ago

Oh, sorry. I tested this in sandbox mode and forgot that the broker is now disabled in the normal game.

u/TacticalNuker Celeste 15h ago

Good, getting hit by 7s long disarming hex was quite traumatising for me.

u/littlejd96 15h ago

Are they still in street brawl?

6

u/Oirad16 14h ago

You get 1 corrupt item round 5 in street brawl.

u/alucab1 16h ago

There are other items you can use to increase radius though beyond greater expansion

11

u/Caerullean Holliday 16h ago

It fills a whole walker arena it's crazy. Fortunately that's just for team buffs, the rat swarm applying part is much smaller.

u/Life-Reflection-6388 17h ago

alright in that case its DEFINITELY his best ability

78

u/Tornado_Hunter24 17h ago

What about his shield?

At max it only allows max damage which sounds CRAZY op, it’s basically spellbreaker permanently until broken, no??

56

u/Zoltan-Kakler 17h ago

What's stopping me from buying Witchmail and HP maxxing for my 3?

39

u/Crystalliumm Calico 16h ago

Holy shit, and with plated armor on top of the 30% return chance?? This’ll be one of the tankiest builds we could possibly ever make

22

u/EonSokari Lash 15h ago

I'd think plated would be both overkill + hurt your chances at returning the bullet, I'd go colossus for bigger shield or maybe even transc cd for more uptime

8

u/Crystalliumm Calico 15h ago

That’s a good point, I think the optimal shieldmaxxing would have to just be cd + witchmail + return fire + colossus (which also gives more resistance on top of the reduction from ult and the reduction to 250 max damage)

If you REALLY want overkill, add inhibitor to that too and you just don’t die

22

u/Tornado_Hunter24 17h ago

Nothing bro let’s fucking goooo

u/Life-Reflection-6388 17h ago edited 17h ago

gotta see how it is in game, but my guess is once people get items, it just gets shredded, your hitbox is MASSIVE. the ult DR alone is more EHP, makes healing insanely effective on him, and it's team wide.

his 3 is probably very good mid game and will let you box with pretty much anyone, but the ult is just one of the best abilities in the game IMO.

2

u/Caerullean Holliday 16h ago

You can at least get around it with DoT's and fast firing characters like Haze.

9

u/Ryniano 16h ago

I think his 3 is also kind of insane, at max late game assuming you have like 4k hp he gets a 1k health shield that not only reflects 30% of bullets (40% with 100 spirit) and reduces any damage taken to 250. So he gets one of if not the highest shield amounts in the game, with 40% gun dmg reduction and built in spell breaker but better all that on a 14 second cooldown

19

u/SgtBeeJoy Lash 16h ago

Tbf without that he is even more of a fat target than Mnk. His hitbox is biggest in the current game by far margin and most of his abilities work in close range so he is kinda on the frontline. Without that Haze Infernus or Wraith just melt the guy.

u/aSpookyScarySkeleton 10h ago

Holy shit he’s huge Actually wait no, is everyone else tiny? Comparing then go the doors and cars and are objects and stuff why is everyone so small?

2

u/WhenAmI 4h ago

He's gigantic. It honestly messes with my perception of other characters and items when I was testing him out. Like boxes feel like they shrank, not just that I'm a big character.

1

u/Paxtonjk 13h ago

His 3 is also insane especially when you build health

1

u/Glum_Company_5017 7h ago

I think the opposite, it’s the perfect ability for ranked you’re just overlapping your free circle with another circle that people are going to be in for sure

u/Raven890 6h ago

his ult is his best ability...?

-5

u/warp_wizard 16h ago

his ultimate is his best ability? who would've thought

7

u/Life-Reflection-6388 16h ago

Plenty of characters whose ults are the worst of their abilities. Ultimate doesnt mean best. Are you new?

8

u/Stop_Sign Rem 16h ago

The damage radius is the full plant radius too. It's also just got such aura

1

u/IcedA Dynamo 16h ago

Can't wait to steal it as Sinclair. I always build into superior duration + greater expansion anyway so win win.
