Sky Fortress + Net
#19
k-bones Wrote:While we're at the net topic - don't you think the net launcher being consumable is a totally weak thing?

Air tanks are air (lol). Which means they have better speed in most cases (thanks to the ability) and they can fly over trees, avoiding your damage, escaping certain death, annoying the hell out of you by flying all over the map and your cp's, and more.
They have less hp, yes - but you can compensate that with a hull. Hull is not consumable, of course.
No tank in game, except for the Demon (and Scout's net), has a more powerful anti-air ability, something like the hammer's air counterpart. On the other hand, even the heli's AoE is more powerful than LT's. It looks like it also stuns...

Now, if you want to stop an air tank, you need either a good stun and teleporter, or a net, in which case you pay every time you TRY to kill him. (Yes, I know about AA guns and such, but they can get bombs as well, so that's not a valid argument)

When you use a net you take away the three important advantages of being an air tank - it's mobility, it's ground skill immunity, and his ability to use AA Guns and Bombs. Is that a sad use of an expendable item? I don't think so. To the contrary - I would say it's one of the most useful items in the game.

Who cares if it costs 200 gold per use? In the middle game air tanks are worth ~400 gold, and towards the end-game they can reach 600-1000... If you get the kill you will get much more in profit...

Instead of using a good stun, teleporter, or a net as a way to try to kill an air tank - try using them ALL in battle at once. Having two means of holding an air tank in place is invaluable when you couple them together. As a Goblin Tank a net allows you to hold him in place for a couple seconds. Couple it with his hammer skill, and you an wrack up up another 2500 damage and a 2.5 second stun. If 4.5(?) seconds of immobility and ~4000 damage from your hammer/ultimate doesn't kill him (if you have a poison magic that should wrack up about 7600 damage), then you still have a teleport to finish him off. If you have a Titan you can net him to the ground, this allows him to be hit by your ground AoE that will damage him for 5000, couple that with your stun that also does for 5000, and you should have 10,000 Damage from skills and ~3.5 seconds to dish out more damage to (nearly) finish him off.
