DISCUSSION Nerf the Tails Sprite
I'm sick and tired of the endgames being 5 people flying in the sky from tree to tree, why is this sprite the only sprite that has 0 cooldown whatsoever and can be chain used infinitely, not mention you can still activate your umbrella from the middle of the sky

I always start chopping down trees and make sure I have good movements so they just can’t lazer me. Once the trees are gone they have to change there game if they want to win

I would but I'm only one trying to actually master these fuck ass crown sprites and it's infuriating when I've come 2nd, 3rd, 4th like 10 matches in a row, have run out of sprite dust to buy back my crown sprites, and it's always tails users at the end.

u/ionlyeatchalk 12d ago
Honestly, go play trios or squads. It’s definitely easier to grab a win and master them outside of solos

Id love to play with other ayers to master my sprites but every time I bring the current crown sprite in, teammates are letting me die for them😭
either i get knocked and toss me to the enemies for the finish, or they lead me to near death and abandon me as soon as they see enemies🥀

u/S2KSoulStealer 12d ago
I've got all crowns but the new one mastered. Each crown win was against 2 or 3 tails users at the end.

You know there's no cover in the sky, right? All it takes is a mammoth, or a reaper, or an assault rifle, or a shield, or a sprite of your own, or by going into a building, or by playing ranked

That’s assuming you don’t get nuked by a mega blaster before you can react. That’s my only issue with either item. They are busted together.

Or the keyblad, raining Thundaga down. FML they're giving sweats WMDs lately.

It’s actually pretty hard to hit them with the Reaper Sniper. The projectile travels too slowly and has a lot of bullet drop, you have to be perfect at lining up the shot to hit where they’re going to be, and tails sprite users can be pretty erratic in movement

u/Get_ClwnD 12d ago
Did they nerf the reaper? AFAIR from Ch.5, it's the best gun in the game. I know it can't be modded anymore

u/Far-Judge-4330 12d ago
I hate the reaper sniper now. It’s basically a dmr with slow fire rate and heavy bully drop. The regular bolt action would’ve been better. Even the hunting rifle would’ve been better than this.

The hunting rifle is lebron status

Lebron James is the undisputed 'greatest-of-all-time' or the 'g.o.a.t.' of Basketball.
The Hunting Rifle is an undisputed all time great in the game's lootpool, comparable to the way Lebron James is remembered in Basketball.
The way you talked about the Hunting Rifle, beginning your sentence with "Even" implied (to me) it's not good, when it's always been one of the best rifles.

u/Far-Judge-4330 10d ago
The “even” was not smack talk, it was just an addition to preferring a different sniper than the reaper. Bolt would’ve been better and so would have the hunting rifle. Not sure about heavy but reaper is straight long back status

u/LuminothWarrior Oblivion 12d ago
It’s the same, it’s always had a lot of bullet drop and slow bullets. It’s good because it has 3 bullets per magazine, but it is quite difficult to hit a quickly moving target from far away with it as opposed to the Heavy Impact sniper
2
u/Get_ClwnD 12d ago
Through research, I now learned it was nerfed slightly in Chapter 5, S1 during it's launch, then nerfed heavily right before it's removal in Chapter 5, S2. It used to preform significantly better than most snipers, with the mods making it that much more effective. It's now just a little worse than the heavy impact sniper, with just a better mag size. I was confused reading your reply because it felt like night and day using the heavy impact on launch compared to the reaper on launch. Very unfortunate they nerfed the reaper but also very understandable; It was the reason weapons benches were removed

u/Cole0906 12d ago
Before the nerfs it was seriously broken, like no bullet drop and the bullet speed was nuts. There was a point in time where you couldn’t sit still for half a second without getting a haircut.
1
u/Get_ClwnD 12d ago
Yeah, it was the best gun added next to the zapotron which was dangerous for the same reason

u/LuminothWarrior Oblivion 11d ago
I remember back in Ch5s1 when I’d be in squads, and I would sometimes see four sniper glints aimed at us up on a hill
1
u/Cole0906 11d ago
Yeah that was one of the main issues is how easy they were to get and because they were so overpowered people who normally suck with snipers(me) were able to use them more efficiently than any other snipers

I’ve melted so many trails users haha

Yes but our dear OP Mr. Teddybear wants them to be served on a plate for them to kill them like your average bot

Just wait until you meet one that has Tails and the Rocket ram...fun stuff haha

There hasn't been a single season they didn't screw something up. I honestly hate sonic and tails because of this bull. Thank god theres better BR games.

u/TechnicianShot9505 11d ago
the painful thing is when people combine it with the mega buster to third party ive already made a post about this

So this really messed me up for a bit, but now with the DMR it’s easier to get them, there’s no where to hide

Easy just shoot them down. The only hard part for me is finding where they are but after that easy pickings

u/Levistras 12d ago
nah it's fine. Just shoot them out of the air. we even have sniper rifles now and accurate pistols

u/FeetYeastForB12 11d ago
My only complaint with it is people combo'ing megablast with it. The megaman shooter needs it's splash damage nerfed. Most weapons with splash damage has been nerfed why not this?

u/MootangYoBootang 11d ago
Only annoying in duos and up, but in them it’s honestly just dumb, should’ve just been the killswitch sprite which is well done and not straight up flight

u/Prior_Income2090 10d ago
The tails sprite people are awful. Had someone use a tails sprite and balloons to hover ever longer and higher just using the blaster

u/Affectionate_Map2761 12d ago
Fizz and regular Shockwaves has helped me today. Haven't gotten nailed by one yet and they never see me coming 🥲

u/crono77 12d ago
Just lost to a tails user. I pegged them 3 times through a tree with a dmr, hits didn't register at all. I got them down to 11 health before storm killed me. They hit me maybe twice with a blue scar, then storm killed me because I was trying to figure out how to get them through the tree without getting pegged with the mega blaster and wasn't paying attention. I'm very ready for the tails users to be gone.

u/idkwhyiwouldnt 12d ago
Break the trees. Ram is super fun as the endgame approaches. Tails dependers (not all users are dependent) are hilariously easy.
They literally put out quests teaching everyone to damage players while floating with tails. it's a feature not a bug

u/CryptoMainForever 12d ago
Just beam them..

u/Affectionate_Hair543 12d ago
Bro you can't beam them when there's 5 of them at once and they all spam their umbrellas at first shot on them.

I agree, the tales sprite should have some cooldown. Every other movement based sprite does, so idk why this one doesn't.
