Buffing the cybran ACU.

Buffing the cybran ACU.

Postby Ze_PilOt » 15 Feb 2013, 18:07

I would suggest a slight buff to the cybran ACU as it is realy paper.
maybe more hp regen(+20 or less, instead of +15) or something around +500hp.

I'm totally against this, Cybran are good enough. If the HP are buffed they lose their last big disadvantage.

I'm not against a little regen buff, but what make cybran balanced in 1v1 is the ACU. Without that, the mantis will probably need a nerf.

I approve of the regeneration buff. The ACU really is paper, but it's for a reason.

I'd say anything more than +18 or so for acu regen might become OP. 18 would make up for an extra level of veterancy that the other acus can attain from higher aggression.

I thought GPG balanced the ACU already, to have extra regen to offset its low HP, and to have its very cheap stealth. With FAF's stealth change, where attack orders on a stealth unit are canceled if you lose intel, it's already pretty good. Play Cybran accordingly... you can't duel other ACUs with it.

The Cybran ACU regen is just fine. Maybe it could use VERY SLIGHT buffing (+2 regen more, to make it +17 HP/s), but other than that it's just fine.

The point of the Cybran ACU is that you have to engage with it as soon as possible and be agressive (well, you ALWAYS have to be agressive if you're a Cybran :roll: )

Reason is that the sooner you start knocking the enemy commander's HP down with your own ACU, the sooner your regen will eventually prevail. For Aeon it takes a mere 1.67 minutes for your regen to overcome the Aeon ACU HP advantage. It's 6.67 seconds if we're talking the UEF ACU, and around 4 minutes for the Seraphim ACU. It's a good incentive to stay agressive and to engage with it as early as possible. I've won quite a few games by just dragging the ACU v ACU fights on untill my regen overcame the other ACU's initial HP advantage.

Trust me, it really shows.
