Is Eclipse a META Mech? | Mech Arena Review

[@GangsterJabs]

What weapon would you use on your Eclipse?😄

[@aqop5548]

Nade 12s 😂

[@CodFrap-rm4jo]

Em disc or arc tbh

[@Drfunko167]

Railguns or Arcs lolol

I really like how your videos have improved over time. You now just include all the little things that make it a comprehensive review. The part where you went into what effects like Shock were and what caused them for new players was a really nice touch! Great vid!

[@GangsterJabs]

Thanks a lot bro! I'm glad that you think that I've improved my videos! I did remove some boring parts from my last review video on Bastion like about the playstyle. People can play however they want, I don't need to tell them how to play the mech. I had no idea what shock was before the video, so I wanted to tell other people who didn't know what is is as well what it is

[@WhiskeyFiend]

So em16/8 x2 em12 DL16 and DL12, such diversity, great job Plarium

[@6starFenrir]

All his videos are exactly the same we already know.. it's all legendary gear and nothing else

[@GangsterJabs]

Yeah, there isn't much diversity in the meta. I hope they nerf the EMs, and maybe other weapons like the railguns and helix racks can shine!

[@GangsterJabs]

@@6starFenrir Yeah, I update you guys about the meta, and unfortunately the meta right now is only mostly legendary stuff. I don't like it, but it's still my job to report it

At 2:00 it looks like the screenshake was actually working.. also i had no idea eclipse was completey invulnerable to redoxs ability, thanks for testing that

[@cyberhunter869]

Invulnerable to all effects during his ability

[@GangsterJabs]

That's really interesting that you noticed that. It didn't affect the aim of my screen like it's supposed to, but for some reason, it made my screen shake. Usually it makes your aiming indicator go wild, and Eclispe is immune to that effect. But he isn't immune to the screen shake

[@GangsterJabs]

Besides system crash, but I guess system crash isn't a debuff or "effect"

[@EJsGamingArena]

Thanks for this bro! Best vids/breakdowns on YT 😎

[@GangsterJabs]

Thanks a lot bro!

[@LarkArena]

Great video. Good analysis for people who might consider getting eclipse now or later when on offer.

[@GangsterJabs]

Thanks bro! You don't really need to get him, but he's nice to have if you can

[@GRTPPK]

I like how you end with its a solid fifth mech, I couldn't agree more, I think it somewhat replaces the role of "old" Tengu in a team (but different)

[@GangsterJabs]

Yeah, he pretty much replaces the "old" shadow in a team, and Tengu and Shadow had a pretty similar role. The only difference is that there's not any real strong close quarters weapons, so you kinda have to use him at long range, and not at close range

[@GRTPPK]

He does turn out to be a good counter to panthers, surges, and Bastion (all prominent mechs in endgame at the moment)

[@WatchSicarioWin]

It’s way more than a solid 5th mech it’s the most devastating sniper in the game if used correctly

[@sintdm1634]

cool review, thanks. Is there a specific difference between early-mid-late game? At what point does mid and late game start, is it star based?

[@GangsterJabs]

It's mostly sp based. So early game is probably around 5k SP and below. Mid game is around 5k-10k sp. And late game is 10k sp and above. It's really arbitrary though, but you get the idea. End game is usually once you get like 3 or more maxed mechs

[@feisty8]

Hi Jabs, Thank You for the Great informative video. I also wanted to ask you that can we currently Bind/Map keys according to our choice on PC side as im planning to transition from my Tablet to Pc on Plarium Play. Thank You :)

[@GangsterJabs]

Unfortunately, you can't bind or customize your keys on Plarium Play yet, you have to use the default controls. But the default controls are good, and I don't think you'd have a problem with them

[@feisty8]

@@GangsterJabs Thanks Jabs for replying :) Its just that i'm left-handed so i normally use mouse with my left hand and keyboard with right which puts usual "a,w,s,d" keys in awkward position so i just bind my keyboard numpad to game controls so that its closer to my right-hand position. Also do you think its safe to use a 3rd party software to bind the default keys to my usual gaming keys or is it too risky and game might detect it as some sort of breach and could BAN my account?

[@densostyle1797]

Nice Video like always 🤗. I will switch my Orion for Eclipse. My Line up is Panter, Bastion, Surge, Guardian or Onyx and then Eclipse for Orion.

[@GangsterJabs]

Thanks! Looks like a deadly lineup! You could use Orion instead of Onyx and Guardian if you want as well

[@GRTPPK]

Thanks for the tip on using close quarter weapons on Eclipse THIS THING SHREDS :)

[@GangsterJabs]

Wow! That's really interesting! I didn't suggest using close quarter mechs, but I'll take the credit for it haha

[@GRTPPK]

Keep it up, I always learn a lot from your videos

[@GangsterJabs]

Wow! It's a honor to be teaching you something haha

[@GRTPPK]

To be blunt, I didn't have him and from what I have seen in-game I wasn't impressed (but literally all eclipse were EM at the time) In your video I saw the potential and bought him. Btw the legendary speed implant is strong enough as it is. Adding another 10% would make it very very OP regarding central beacon rush.

[@skptk1]

Great vid, thanks for your research ;). Hey seeing as how Guardian counters so hard, if you have a legendary crash implant does your cpc hangar composition change a ton from what you mentioned as the meta 5?

[@skptk1]

In a vacuum I mean.

[@GangsterJabs]

Yes, definitely yse Guardian in your hangar if you have that implant. Either replace Panther and put disc 16s on him or replace Eclipse and put railguns on him

[@skptk1]

[@candyman111881]

Hi Gangster JABS, so i now have the Railgun 16, and omg it takes a very long 9 seconds to load each and every shot, and about 28 seconds to fully reload. and it takes around all 6 shots to kill only one maxed out Bastion.. so that means that you can only kill one Bastion and then need to wait about 28 seconds to kill another Bastion? What are your thoughts about this?

[@GangsterJabs]

Well that's when you use the railgun reload implant. The legendary one makes the reload from 9.8 seconds to 7.6 seconds which is a huge difference. And leveling your railguns also really helps. I think that implant is a must-have for the railguns

[@Tutukane_]

He is good with railgun 12’s in 2 v 2. Having the ability activated allows you to pass through panther fence and get side or back damage with railgun s for 1 shot kills

[@GangsterJabs]

Oh really? Wow! I gotta try the build, it probably does pretty good in 2v2s!

[@stevenwalker232]

I love your video's man!

[@GangsterJabs]

[@eh_toyik]

cool. glad to hear that I won't need to replace my redeemer with Eclipse. Redeemer is the og

[@GangsterJabs]

Yessir! But he's unfortunately mucj weaker because his ability delay is back. He's significantly worse now😥

[@eh_toyik]

@@GangsterJabs He's a fun to play mech. And I think there should be diversity in people's hangers. So I'm investing on the top mechs as well as investing on the mechs that I love to play with.

You gotta appreciate the diversity in mech and weapon choice for top hangars…

[@skptk1]

What game doesn't have a meta? If you're salty just counter it seeing as how the population will be using it...

[@GangsterJabs]

Yeah, unfortunately the meta isn't very diverse. I hope they can nerf a weapon like the EMs so that there's more diversity in the meta

[@GangsterJabs]

@@skptk1 Yeah, it is definitely possible to counter the meta. Helix racks counter EMs really well if you get good at using them. Railguns also do pretty good against EMs as well. It's difficult, but definitely possible to counter the meta

[@candyman111881]

Hi Gangster JABS, here is my opinion on the Nerfing of the EM Rifles: We all do really need at least one Rifle/Sniper Gun with Auto Aim.. aiming to shoot a target can be super difficult in this game, especially when they are far away, or they have some cover. Very sad news about the EMs being nerfed. People need to understand the fact that a Sniper Gun is supposed to 'one-shot' opponents (or two-shots), all the FPS/Shooting Games everywhere all have Sniper Guns that will one-shot opponents.. even in real life situations, ALL SNIPER GUNS will easily one-shot anyone or anything (as they are supposed to.). Come on people, let's be realistic right? Have you actually ever seen a real Sniper Gun that will need to shoot the guy/target multiple times for him to die?? that would defeat the purpose of a Sniper Gun, and no one will ever ever use/buy/sell Sniper Guns ever again. 😂😂😂😂

[@GangsterJabs]

The problem is that EMs should be a high risk high reward weapon. Snipers in real life are hard to hit, but they are very rewarding since they deal crazy amounts of damage if they land. So it's good that EMs don't have autoaim since now there's some risk because you can miss. But the weapon will still be an OP weapon since the damage is still a lot and the reload is extremely fast

[@candyman111881]

@@GangsterJabs yeah i still appreciate all you have to say, and really like your videos, brother. 👍♥️

[@mr.perfect1er]

I bet your opinion morphed since the EM/Redeemer Nerf

[@GangsterJabs]

Na, EMs are almost just as good as they were before, just slightly weaker now. I still think they're the best weapon on Eclipse. But Redeemer is definitely worse now, and Eclipse might be better than him now

[@shamanaseem7165]

I finally got the dl8 today, but matchmaking is even more unfair now. Im at 2k sp, but the dudes I'm against have upwards 3-4k sp. Any way to trick the system? Edit: I did it boys, I tricked the matchmaking without hangar reducing etc. I bought a 2 star bastion today and matchmaking is confused af. The real people it matches me with are about 3k sp whilst the bots are the bots you'll get at 1.5k sp (longarm paragon, shotgun puma etc) 😂

[@GangsterJabs]

Well, if you wanna trick the system, then lower your sp even more. Keep the good builds in your hangar, and take out the weak builds in your hangar. Have like 2-3 good builds, and not have any mechs for the other slots. This will lower your sp, and make you face easier opponents
