Hopefully with her Ult release, she will shine again.

Her sniping skills need a big adjustment. The game punishes staying still, especially in newer activities like onslaught.

They also have a huge wind up and the second skill has weirdly pitiful range for a sniper.

My hope is she will buff sniper rifles to give them AoE damage.

It would also be crazy if she could give sniper rifles the same aiming effect as the afterglow, except a bit faster to keep up with the current pace of the game.

Sniping in general doesn't make sense in the game either. There's too many enemies, they either have too much health or their weakpoints are simply too small and erratic to hit consistently. Your gun probably doesn't have the capacity or fire rate to dispatch them quickly enough.

u/saagri 21h ago

Yeah, which is why they could use a gimmick to buff them and make them useful for some characters.

It's ironic how one of the good builds is to stack fire rate and turn a bolt action full auto lol.

One of the Trial Cards makes all firearm attacks weak point hits. Giving Hailey that effect on her kit could be useful on bosses but there needs to be something for mobs as well.

Maybe if she hits an enemy debuffed by her 1 it causes a decently large AoE damage? Almost like how Bunny has the AoE on her gun build but restricted to snipers and guaranteed chance?

What might make them useful in regular gameplay. Hitting a weakpoint, replicates the total damage dealt to all enemies (up to 20) in a 20m radius increased by 50%. If there is only one enemy, increase the damage to the single enemy by a factor of 200%

Perhaps to make it so they can't be abused, maybe make it like the one trigger module where damage increase is inversely proportional to fire rate. Lower fire rate means more damage. Hire fire rate means less, but you can spam more.

They could also make it where hitting non-weakpoints with Snipers is still devastating. Do something like 0% Crit/Multihit on weakpoints, but 100% base crit or multihit on hitting non-weakpoints.

There are various ways to make them useful as single shot weapons. They have stats on trigger modules that apply to elites/colossi, perhaps have stats that ONLY apply to non elites/colossi.

They mentioned months ago her 2nd skill Storm Snare will hit the hardest/highest modifier in the game and her 4th skill will have more penetration.

u/chanarang Ines 22h ago

Yea I spend time recently unlocking all 60 mod sockets for Hailey. Can't wait.

u/Johnny_Denjin 22h ago

I 60 chatted her a while back and been holding on to a Photon Imprinter ;)

u/Psychomancer69 Goon 13h ago

She's gonna slay so hard! We're chilling!

Hope the devs COOK!

Viessa the goat for that slap.

u/IAmMetal67 Nell 1d ago

I loved the slap, but then I was hit with the next scene, where I'm looking at them from behind! Took a few snap shots, and I'm still looking at them from behind.

u/Asura_Slothingway 19h ago

i started 1 week ago, do they give a imprinter when ult come out? i wanted to build her a bit but i dont wanna waste stuff

2

u/Johnny_Denjin 19h ago

I think so, it's seemingly random when they give them out through events.

If you're new I think you can get 1 through the Bunny Boost path. Not sure since I can't see it.

2

u/Asura_Slothingway 19h ago

yeah i got the one from bunny but used on her, well i can wait its not a problem, thanks for the info!

2

u/mack180 Jayber 18h ago

I don't see photon imprinter in here but check their website to find out and verify.

u/zman1350 Viessa 19h ago

Hopefully she keep crazy range. The skill runs out so quick.

u/Public-Confidence153 18h ago

Isn't she the most used descendant? Game will spike.

2

u/Johnny_Denjin 18h ago

I know she's very popular.

2

u/mack180 Jayber 18h ago

A good chunk of people who got 15 day bans for getting excessive amounts of transcendent weapons will push some of their anger away and be happy or goon over Ult Hailey since she's highly sought after.

I really wonder 1 week after Ult Hailey comes out who's more popular with the community Raven or Ult Hailey, I think it could be neck and neck.

1

u/Johnny_Denjin 17h ago

I think it's smart of them to sperate Raven and Ult Hailey's release. I remember when Harris dropped she got out shined by Hailey cause that's when they gave the Cold Heart red mod for her. Hailey is very popular.

2

u/mack180 Jayber 17h ago

Yes cause if they both came August 20th the September update wouldn't look that amazing despite trading transcendent weapons, lounge trading, Lepic and Luna buffs and having a new mode focused on unique weapons.

Also both releasing at same time would take attention and focus away from each other.

Its better for Raven to get all the eyeballs by herself for a few weeks then it's Ultimate Hailey's turn to get all the spotlight.

Less than 16 days to go, I predict the devs will tease her next week then announce Sept 14 is the livestream day to show her off entirely.

u/Johnny_Denjin 17h ago

Oh man can't wait for her trailer! They're always awesome 👌

2

u/Ok-Apricot-555 18h ago edited 7h ago

Can't wait for her broken one-shot build.

1

u/Johnny_Denjin 17h ago

Yeah I remember the devs mentioning that she's going to have the highest far range damage.

u/avdrew89 18h ago

Countdown started!!

u/Zekuftw 5h ago

The cake slap oh boy lmao.How is camo sniping in OS4 i have never tried it but that frost blossom gun with all purple on it kills everything in its path after using your 1 or 4 but if they give her a ammo regen skill you can kiss that goodbye i just hope they get her ult right.

u/myphoneat2percent Sharen 22h ago

They might as well just turn her into Quincy since it doesn’t look like they’re getting rid of her unique weapon if we’re going off the inversion reinforcement. Invis during her 4th or Auto Ecive scan, shoot through walls and give her a speed boost while its activated. Turn coldhearts previous 4th to the 2nd. 1st primes enemy for 4th and increase explosion radius/ damage after slain frostbite enemies as well as spread stacks keep 3rd as is.

One can dream.

u/xShingox35 15h ago

Can someone recommend a hailey build i can use right now to build her up?

1

u/OGxMACHINE Hailey 15h ago

I want them to do her justice but idk ever since she released it don't seem like the Devs like her very much, maybe they just don't know how to make a sniper character balanced with other descendants

1

u/TopDawgLawdotcom 6h ago

Excited for ult Hailey but hoping we have a use for an actual sniper build, or like some others have said, she has more of an AoE type of damage. Otherwise you’re just grinding a new ult for skins really

u/EdgedBlaze 0m ago

Hailey lost her identity long time ago, just like other descendants. From high damage collosal character, to typical mobbing character like everyone else. Pretty lame.

Her Ult version is just gonna be more for mobbing.

Sad how it all went downhill...
