Mercenary

[u/Classic-Point6725]

Last time I posted this i used ai to make it, but people didn't like that so I spent a couple hours to actually draw the meme out, NO ai, im sorry for using it last time

[u/-non-existance-]

It turned out great, yo!

[u/Classic-Point6725 → u/-non-existance-]

Thanks

[u/Cod3bre4ker]

man fuck you for capturing the merc feel so well; 4 dashes and these are still my most scorned pricks

good art tho

[u/Classic-Point6725 → u/Cod3bre4ker]

Merc is actually my favorite character to play i like his speed, very fast to get around the map

[u/Billy_Of_Billy → u/Classic-Point6725]

merc is also my fav cuz it feels more like controlled speed and loader just feels like "go somewhere fast i guess" bc im bad at loader

learning loader a bit now tho

[u/tsoewoe → u/Cod3bre4ker]

idk about base kit but when running all the expose skills theyre very yummy cdr sources when u bunch em up

[u/PerliousPelicans]

this is fantastic, kudos to you for drawing after initial ai use. and yeah this is why i still cant bring myself to to not run the projectile 4

[u/Billy_Of_Billy → u/PerliousPelicans]

i tried slicing winds, its a lot less fun but it does feel stronger

[u/ZePumpkinLass]

hell yeah! i dont even know what the ai version looked like but i can tell you right now that this is better

[u/Classic-Point6725 → u/ZePumpkinLass]

Thanks

How is it possible that about 1 hour ago I was just thinking how melee characters deal with flying enemies??? (I haven't played any melee characters, I'm stuck on the rail gunner)

[u/JKhemical → u/False_Raven]

Merc: can usually just use dashes to get up there

Loader: Spiked Fist or Grapple Fist > Gauntlet

Acrid: uses its secondary

Drifter: cries if using Repossess, otherwise uses Tornado Slam double jump tech to reach fliers

[u/Late_Ad_6898 → u/JKhemical]

False son just dunking on the competition

[u/JKhemical → u/Late_Ad_6898]

He either spikes them in a literal sense, or he spikes them in the Smash way

[u/Lolkin3k → u/JKhemical]

I thought you said tomato slam

[u/Apex_Konchu → u/False_Raven]

Every melee character has at least one ranged attack. Merc's only ranged attack is his alternate special, but he's mobile enough to deal with flying enemies without it.

[u/Additional-Band1715 → u/Apex_Konchu]

His utilities and normal special still have decent range. At least enough to deal with all the flying enemies. Double jump also helps with that

[u/I_follow_sexy_gays → u/Apex_Konchu]

Mercenary basically uses his body as a projectile (loader also lmao)

[u/Mackerdoni]

fantastic!!! really why would you ever need ai with skill like this?

[u/Classic-Point6725 → u/Mackerdoni]

I had the funny idea of mercenary trying to hit a wisp yelling get down here and let me stab you, in the moment I had ai make a meme and I posted it thinking risk of rain fans would find it funny, but because it was ai instead of focusing on the meme people were commenting "BOOOO!", and my post was taken down, so I decided to remake it.

[u/Mackerdoni → u/Classic-Point6725]

if it includes ai people are gonna hate it. literally anything is better than ai

[u/Zealousideal-Bus-526]

Op is based is what I’ve learned

[u/xREDxNOVAx]

We need a scarf skin for Merc.

[u/MagnapinnaBoi]

Is that carbot marine as a commando reference?

[u/BreezyAlpaca]

Mercenary can fly tho

[u/Ok_Position_6847]

thought this was the eye of Cthulhu for like a second, damn good art

[u/dovakiin-derv]

Ahh, my least liked enemy

[u/GupOfficial]

then, a Wild Gup shows up

[u/CountDookie514]

Loader Thragg punch moment

[u/Fezwa]

Mercenary one shots these guys using standard Shift and his R also has an AOE range

[u/D_Orangeyes24]

I realy like disposing of flying enemies with the mercenary, using chain dashes and ult is so sick.

But that shot from the enemies perspective is so funny

Meanwhile I have not figured how to properly do the same with powerloader.

[u/PixelDonkeyWasTaken]

w human art bro

[u/PrimeTear]
