How to Counter Every Striker in Mecha BREAK [Beta]

[@Axelottol69]

I had to die so many times for this video... Join da discord >:( discord.gg/CGPks4fFBE

[@Dorda098]

During the Alysnes guide, my cat somehow jumped off my phone and gave a perfect transition to "One: Shoot it until it's dead" from the intro

[@BenFoster-cx4em]

cats suck

[@HondaKizane]

As both Skyraider and Falcon main I'd say my top tip is that it's better to go with a mindset of "You are playing Ace Combat with NO collision dmg". Your main gameplan is to DISTRACT and INTERUPT the other team as long and you can, while hoping your teammate can finish them off. Learn the map's layout, Don't be afraid to fly low or go between the small gap in the map to give yourself some cover. Because while yes, many player rarely look up. If they do, YOU ARE THEIR ONLY TARGET..

[@Maruun1986]

Falcon is a harasser, the only reason i am not in airmode is because i need to regain energy. That's the moment for me to drop fast from air and in cover. 3 Seconds later up in the air and go. Even your main gun is much more annoying in airmode. nearly double the ammo and double the fire rate. I have a lot of fun with the Falcon, but i know i do something right if more then half the entire team gets paranoid and looking at the air and focus targeting me. Its a thrill to harrass and making the enemy to feel like they are not safe only underground. Like rats hiding from an falcon.

[@FGMagala]

​@@Maruun1986 I think it's unfair to call Falcon a harasser. It's more of an opportunistic assassin. Yea, pretty much everything can kill it if you let it get too close and focus you for too long, but it'll kill half of the mechs in under 5 seconds if nobody's looking as well. Most matches I use Flacon in, I'm in the top 2 in kills and have at best 2 deaths. Nobody watches the skies constantly and there's no better distraction for a quick assassination than a team fight. As well, nobody else can hit someone hiding in the backlines as well as Falcon either.

[@yohanzahf.3078]

As skyraider main, one of my purpose is to hunt campers. And oh boy, it's fun seeing snipers goes panic when I'm keep harassing them

[@yuurei18]

of course until you get that Panther main who chase your ass to the end of the earth or tricera being an aa gun other than that the sky is the limit.

[@KoongYe]

Bad flight pilots stay on the air. Good pilots stay bipod until the time is right.

[@adepttoast5273]

9:10 love the IBO reference to melee mechs lol

[@Specx13]

Been playing Falcon this whole time, feeling like a paper airplane, and trying not to blame the suit. Glad to see I wasn't totally wrong in thinking it could use some love.

[@LatencyProblem]

Heh, sneaky putting the Iron Blooded Orphans theme when talking about melee. How appropriate.

[@xleadplpe3638]

I love falcon, and the mobility. My course of action is I push forward shooting, then while I advance, I transform, lock on, and dump both light and heavy missles. After doing so, I quickly transform, and Back dash a bunch to create more distance, then once cooldowns are down, I push in again, transforming, dumping missles, while spraying my Main gun. It allows me to 1v1 a solo inferno

[@louisthewolf0816]

Same! People generally don't look directly up, so I usually circle around the map, taking out snipers while constantly dodging and only charge in when I spot a low health enemy!

[@Str8Wildcat]

​@louisthewolf0816 I've noticed this and personally rarely look up. Not many (any?) Moba games have an aerial threat at any given time so I think playing air mechs give an advantage in that alone

[@17trunX]

Can you descend while in flight mode? Up is no problem with spacebar

[@gengarisnotinsmash...]

​@@17trunXyes, I think it's bound to alt by default.

[@gengarisnotinsmash...]

That's what I've been doing too. It gives you a really good view of the battlefield so you can easily see who you can help focus down too, and if anyone tries to run you can be on them instantly. Skyraider definitely has the edge in aerial bombardment, but its kit is far weaker at chasing down fleeing enemies.

[@PotatoG]

Me at the Alsynes section (laughing manically): Yes, yes, keeping chasing me you dumb dumb, I can stall you all day. Playing as Alsynes with Beam gun and Railgun to wither the enemy and strike when they are not paying attention is my go to way. When being locked-on, run like a bitch, dash as fast as I can and hide behind terrain and strike back when they are looking away. Always works. Also, playing Alsynes, I always use the Beam gun even when facing a melee matchup, bait the the parry, switch to Beam lance, hit twice, Railgun, dash back and resume firing Beam gun. Never go for the melee first.

[@smillerbee8115]

i feel alysnes similar to how medium tank perform and i love it

[@odd02]

around 15:30 you are the GOAT for putting the G Gundam suit up theme music here. Unlocked a core memory for me again. My favorite Gundamn series, though I know there some good new ones I need to watch.

[@pangsitdagingrendang]

Alysnes gameplan is distrupt every enemy in sight from their objective (either doing the mission or trying to destroy our teammates). Basically, a land version of Falcon game plan (but it can be used to chasing Falcon with melee charge or sniper unit like Aquila and Narukami) and it can keep Panther busy for a while Stripping the white armor with beam gun and railgun then charge forward with halberd when the enemy white shield gone. Also, always use the shield when shooting with gun for extra protection (it can be used simultaneously). Also when facing Panther, ALWAYS try flank him. do not stand straight in front of him And if the armor stripped, only use the air drop if your health down into below 40%. then run as fast as possible to regain the good position. The "Smoll Exia" have some after image and move faster to running from enemy or assist teammates with gun or sword. (wait, doesn't that mean that Alysnes is Virtue but CQC version?)

[@venanreviews]

Was just talking about how luminae's damage might be calculated with everyone and I shrugged off the idea of it being linked to melee damage.... 1 minute in and now I feel silly LMAO. Great video dude!

[@shadowgarra360]

Falcon is basically Genji or Jett. It has MC syndrome and everyone thinks they can play it. 90% of them fly in a straight line towards a narukami. I've seen Falcon pressure the heavys, as well as do great follow up on the chase down when those heavy's fall back from a team fight. Good Falcons either do amazing assist or amazing finishes.

[@Clutch180]

[loved the video] How to play Tricera (...maybe): Be Oak Tree. UProot like Oak Tree and hehe-HEEE-heee~ across the plains wild and free. Plant next to fight....... [ Hilariously inside/behind a friendly Welkin's box / Stego shield if possible ] Emit Oaky heals! ^.^ Howitzer says *SLAP* " >: Nu!" to a LOT moves. Very Protec! Seek close-by shade when it gets too haaawt!!! Soak in that Blurple Crystal Crack goodness. Reload your seeds in the off season!

[@ssouvannavong9]

Problem with Luminae is that you need to play like OW Tracer main to play it optimally. An actual Tracer main would rather play Falcon and support players would rather play Pinaka.

[@Ic3Man_Gaming]

I think that is why I really like the character actually. That dipping and diving gameplay isn't a thing supports usually get to do.

[@KingOfTh3OzOne]

The biggest problem with Luminae is on the Eye of Misara map when the pulse storm hits you literally can't do anything other than your support field because the drones won't work. Can't even target allies so it's like 45 seconds of nothingness

[@nevolence]

@@KingOfTh3OzOne That map is easily my least favorite.

[@MD.20.20]

@@Ic3Man_Gaming Thats exactly what Mercy and Lucio do in OW but with the extra utility and mobility to make it fun. Lumi is just all work and management with no feeling of impact

[@dominus_76]

17:49 I TOLD YOU NOT TO TELL ANYONE TO JUMP ABOVE MY SPIN TO WIN GGGGRRRRRR.

[@shotgunammo]

"Welkin is a perfect counter to panther" in a 3v1, maybe, in a 1v1 not really. And thats the point of panther, he tries to force a 1v1. Diving in brainlessly is a panther's cryptonite. Also welkin does have an escape, every melee mech has. Its melee assault boost will outspeed anything even a falcon, bar only beaten by panther.

[@letmedietomorrow]

Excellent and to the point. I got what I needed in the first 10 secs.

[@EliasVodka]

Thanks for the video, this game is so chaotic and really bad explaining what the hell is going on, so this really helps

[@zerofighterfairy]

Tricera guard by Welkin while heal by Narukami, probably toxic thing ever in the transport mission.

[@sgtflamingo6532]

Subbed to you. Looking forward to playing on PS5. Loved the commentary btw.

[@kamizerox]

For Inferno, you were thinking of Virtue from 00. Also, what separates good Falcon players from the bad ones are literally who could use environment to their advantage and not use just the sky. Pretty much, you play Falcon like tracer. Squishy but has high impact if people are always disoriented on where Falcon is.

[@yusefwebb9727]

As I trisara maine, I have found that if you're not a Sniper or a good flyer you are going on the wall

[@PlayedSun]

Yeah, playing the falcon always feels pretty rough. Even with "high mobility" I always feel like weapon tracking manages to be good enough and I get melted in 2 seconds despite all my dodging in plane mode.

[@Salmon_Toastie]

I shot a falcon down with welkin howitzer ahaha

[@thangluongviet6461]

I just got shot down by a welkin howitzer a few hours ago in that 1 life mode :(

[@nevolence]

It feels especially rough if an Aquila decides to ruin your day.

[@fozzyalfonso]

True. But apparently if you dodge left and right in plane mode, it interrupts their lock on according to the weapon description. Idk how much, but yea

[@paolobueno]

I've started as a Falcon main and turned to Sky, haven't looked back. It brings so much more utility and tankyness with a small sacrifice to mobility it's crazy. I also valued the Falcon's consistent poke to prevent shield regen and keep low targets low, but you get a similar effect with Sky's charged shot just piercing shields in the first place for a finisher

[@dwei3045]

Think ya'll sneaky with that Shining Finger music during Panther's segment. I see you.

[@arbiter1er]

I have to say I really did enjoy the playstyle diversity from every mech. Inferno makes me feel like I'm playing Gen 5 Armored Core, while Falcon/Sky Raider feels closer to Gen 4

[@randomaj237]

Hurricane and Skyraider are my favs. I’ve found Nakamura is absolutely insane on certain maps as well.

[@CloudKXII]

Airfighters are direct counters for Stego and Tricera due to their inability to look 90° up. Falcon and Skyraider can easily hover on top of them and chip their health like Crows to a corpse.

[@BrotherShaw]

I see you with that Xboost theme... Thanks for the video

[@Blackcloud288]

Bro the shining finger theme playing when Panther starts doing shining finger all over the place 💀

[@combatseawolf]

The BGM in the snipers segment reminded me of Lockon 1v1’ing Ali that made me sad

[@zep2375]

i love fighting narukame as luminae, luminae is definitely my favorite mech to play.

[@ProtoAlpha]

We need two or three times the amount of different strikers currently available in the game right now in order for this game to function properly.

[@선조-y6n]

27:00 Falcon with Showdown? ah that was the best choice.

[@rudatkatzn9171]

I have learned one important thing during my time playing... The skies belong to Falcons! (Still, please buff its damage. It needs it)

[@SleepyGaming-ie9fb]

Not sure about previous patch, but Luminae in the previous playtest felt pretty solid imo. She's not as tough to kill as Pinaka but I think her healing is better and you can heal up to 3 teammates at the time, plus her dmg is way better than Pinaka since it goes through shield.

[@sharp_like_knife]

True. Pinaka is very strong, but against a good skyraider or falcon, you will feel utterly useless.

[@Shingocin]

The only way to counter TRICERA in turret mode and healing at the same time is to attack it with more than 3 opposing mechs, and with luck you can kill it, at least it was the only way it could kill me in some games XD

[@Frostfang_Piglet]

Thank you what i was looking for

[@phoenyxtori234]

ive had the pleasure / displeasure of playing against you this current beta as falcon. i couldnt get off the ground without you popping me from the other side of the map. Now i see why, falcon is just in a rough spot right now balance wise and just dies if the enemy sniper can even slightly aim.

[@Ic3Man_Gaming]

Yesterday was my first day playing and I picked up Luminae since I figured not a lot of people would pick up support. Holy cow, one of the most fun support experiences I have had in a long time. Game modes where there were split objectives and being able to bounce back and forth between them constantly topping off my team while dipping and diving attacks is an experience that is gonna stick with me for a while. I think one match of note I ended up with something like 16 assists.

[@thangluongviet6461]

I never knew Falco is that bad. I usually play her like an assassin/scout and I can confidently say that I have never lost a 1v1 fight with any other mech in 30+ matches. I enjoy being a nuisance to the enemy team swooping in and bombard them with missiles and stop them from ever get a chance to rest and reset .Sometimes I get 1 shot by panther but always chalk it up to skill issues on my end not knowing it has unlimited EN.

[@R4AVA]

Thanks for the info! ^^

[@dragonslayerfox]

I still plan on maining alynses and panther.

[@astreakaito5625]

@Axelottol69 what are your impressions of the open beta? Did they fix the issues you have in the alpha or is the fluid shield/HP issue is still the same?

[@aglargalad]

Ooh, a stryker counter vid? Oh, yes please!

Great insight into each unit. Very nifty. Please decide on a pronunciation for Pinaka. hahahahaha. :D

[@TheKaMeLRo]

I feel like we need more buttons for this game, For Alynes, I struggle to press 1 to change from range weapon to melee sometime. If we have button to use melee weapon immediately would be nice.

[@thomashouston1478]

i feel like the mecha are actually pretty balanced so far alot of them require teamwork to fulfill max potential and this is a team play game unfortunately people suck at teamwork and having awareness of their surrounding or the environment

[@CartRay-gf2tp]

thx (btw do you know if we can keep the progress once it finally releases)

[@COA5T]

Wait...people are playing Luminae in the air? My build is completely on the ground. Her repair/damage field has almost zero range so you can almost never use it in the air to heal someone other than yourself. Also her energy costs for air dash/boost are way higher than the land counterparts. The mobility of the dash is also not great compared to the transformers, so she becomes an easier target for snipers I feel, while on the ground you can at least dash around cover. Idk, I found it very risky to play in the air with her. Looking at the base stats with no mods, everything in the air costs more and mods that we have access to don't even reduce them to the land's base stats.

[@ArchSight]

With mods, Lumi favors ground to air play. Land energy regen is faster with mods and Lumi's energy regen ability is a long cool down that's best used to refill bar quickly without using energy so it can be shut off early for shorter cool down. Stats that make the dodges cost less are great to help spam and self repair mods fit for making Lumi hard to kill. Using the energy regen for the team is best used on melee units that need energy to finish of their opponent like Alsynes and Welkin. The tank units barely can take advantage of it but if they know it can get them to stick with a fast moving team.

[@COA5T]

@@ArchSight Exactly. I can't see how playing in the air with her is remotely legit, especially at Plat and above where you get focused down as a support anyway.

[@2zNick]

Panther has nothing going for it other than its dammage and surprise Take away his energy and its usless. I think the energy is justified

[@sindeviltrigger9268]

"Baby exia" is oxymoron. I definitely will not be using that. Just call it "exia" like the rest of us.

[@BenFoster-cx4em]

how to counter premade losers focus with 3 players on you?

[@-reydensetsu-6067]

I feel like the major downside to narukami is how helpless she’s found. No possibility to do any damage to be able to fend for herself. The invisibility helps to some extent but it’s basically the end if a competent player is after you

[@ishtarofakkadt.6416]

Inferno can charge and fire it's primary while casting his drones.

[@Arukkao]

[@TheNomadJack]

Panther is not really weak to ANYTHING. Parrying/dodging his lunge gives next to no reward! AQUILLAS stun is the only reliable way i've found to kill him, i've basically become an AQUILLA main who just focuses Panther now, as that Striker is waaaaaaaaay too overtuned. Hope it gets nerfed soon.

[@haijin7484]

Not really, Panther is easy to kill. He’s easy to parry and can be killed by Welkin or Alysneses

[@skeetskeet7041]

How to counter every unit: play skyraider

[@axylum4453]

Fully agree, Falcon sucks ass. The shift + w boost in the air is maybe like 10-20% faster than your typical mech air boosting and not the 50-80% MACH SPEED impression you get from the sfx and camera effects. A melee charge boosting is much faster than a Falcon using shift+w boost and that's dumb af. Also its kit is the perfect counter to snipers like Aquila and Narukami being able to ignore their decoys but it hardly has the damage to kill even those two without landing at least two perfect missile salvos. imho Falcon needs a speed buff specifically the shift+w (because you definitely want to be slow when holding S) and it needs a damage buff somewhere in its kit. Maybe to amplify its dueling potential and break through ultra heavies more easily, give its scan a personal damage amplification where only Falcon deals extra damage to that unit. Hopefully that will alleviate hard counters like ultra heavies but it still wouldn't really give Falcon a fighting chance against a panther or welkin And they gotta do something about the heavy missiles. The tracking on it is ass for air to ground targeting. You need a lot of distance in your strafing run to land a good salvo otherwise the missiles completely miss. Meaning in areas with enclosed areas you pretty much one weapon down

[@Raidenze]

Falcon = SC2 player only because APM and situational awareness. God, I saw a good Falcon's POV and my god I don't think I can ever get to that level unless I just... let my brain go. But then I'll have 0 situational awareness.

[@Tommydnbmusic]

Damn. Now for folks like us who actually reads the manual will have a hard time climbing now… secrets out I guess.

[@charyou3167]

Highly agree skyraider is the better of the two by a lot. Highly disagree about welkin he’s better than the other two melee mechs combined.

I still don't get how to not just get instafucked by Welkin. The microsecond I get into melee range I get stunned forever, boxed in, and all my health is gone before the flashbang has worn off.
