Title: Awesomenauts Strategy Topic Post by: Turboweasle on May 08, 2012, 03:37:36 pm Why not, right?
Let's just discuss what team lineups seem to work best. Right now I like teams of Clunk, Leon, and Voltar. Obviously Clunk is a tank that can dominate close-range but is also moderately effective a mid-range. Leon is the main attacker, as he's fast and hits hard. Voltar is your healer that in late-game is able to fend for himself using his droids. I'm not really seeing much of a use for Froggy G. He just seems like a less useful Leon. Lonestar is great for setting up a push with his bull and his blaster is excellent. Yuri is a great anti-Voltar. Title: Re: Awesomenauts Strategy Topic Post by: MrPillow on May 08, 2012, 03:46:20 pm froggy is an absolute beast dude. id use him any day over clank. he's fast and extremely pwoerful. hell, late game him easily goes head to head with late game leon, and with a fully upgraded tornado he can lay waste to turrets.
as far best team, its what you had except replace clank with leon. 75 burst damage on upgraded dynamite, and when you setup at a turret he literally just bulls away the opponents everytime they approach. Title: Re: Awesomenauts Strategy Topic Post by: JabbaScrub on May 08, 2012, 03:48:45 pm I like that one guy
Title: Re: Awesomenauts Strategy Topic Post by: MrPillow on May 08, 2012, 03:56:35 pm go away :D
Title: Re: Awesomenauts Strategy Topic Post by: JabbaScrub on May 08, 2012, 04:08:40 pm Not sure if friendly jesting or being an asshole.. (d)
But in srsns, I'll probably be using the tank or healer mostly. Are there any unlocks or progression outside of matches? Title: Re: Awesomenauts Strategy Topic Post by: Turboweasle on May 08, 2012, 04:22:08 pm Are there any unlocks or progression outside of matches? No. You have loadouts like in CoD, except you can't change them or your character once you're in a game. And one thing we must absolutely avoid is a sh*tty Voltar. Just played with a guy who wouldn't heal us at all. Absolutely miserable. Title: Re: Awesomenauts Strategy Topic Post by: JabbaScrub on May 09, 2012, 02:04:51 pm Leon (I call him Gaston):
-Tongue grab -Backstab blade -Cloaking -Cloak attk. bonus (the masquerade emblem) -Movement speed -Dummy upgrades Sorry, haven't played enough to know all the real names. One thing I will say is that we absolutely MUST have a Voltar for clan battles. There's no HP regen for the most part so you have to really on either him or going far away in order to get back in the game. His healing is also very fast which means an almost instant regen. The monkey is also a very good stationary blockade. With a row of mines down, he's pretty hard to get to especially if he has upgraded his laser. That thing is friggin' overkill in the right hands. I couldn't get him down in the one game I played with him, but all the teammates who used him dominated. The best way to take him out is to use Leon's tongue grab. Once he's on the ground you pretty much have him. DO NOT PUT YOUR BACK TO LEON. Also you guys might find this blog intredasting: http://joostdevblog.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html Title: Re: Awesomenauts Strategy Topic Post by: JabbaScrub on May 09, 2012, 02:25:44 pm Also, from Seitetsu on GF:
1) Every time you die, the opposing team gets money. All the Clunks that just explode and tank with no intention of staying alive.... stop it.... 2) Many characters like to set up a combo. For example: Froggy G - Dash into WW Leon - Backstab / tongue traps   Clunk - Chomp into explosion   Yuri - Slowdown field Lonestar's f-ing bull destroys all these setups.... think before you use it 3) You don't need to go back to base to get health every time. You can: Get health that are scattered all around the map, kill neutral creeps, or if you just took a few hits, find a voltar. Every second you are out of the fight is less money you are earning. 4) Plan out your build. Do you really need those extra points where you are putting them? Is there something that you use a lot that should be upgraded before that? Builds can completely change how a character is played. Think about your options, and if you have the info, think about who else your teammates are using. 5) Don't step on the f-ing button when your teammate is over the wormdoor. It's not cute. See tip 1 and 3.   6) If you are squishy, dont be a hero. Yuri and Voltar are team players. They aren't meant to go at it alone. If you absolutely must play Call of Duty MOAB, pick Leon at least... 7) If you have a burst damage setup, or are Leon, watch the map for distracted enemies. Is that lonestar really taking on a turret alone? Wait for the opponent to use their abilities, and immediately jump him while it is on cooldown. If you can, time the silence to give yourself a few extra seconds. Also, anticipate your opponents moves. If you are Froggy G, your whirlwind can make your invulnerable. Use it to survive a self destruct or dynamite. Timing can make the difference in a flawless victory, or a fatality. 8) Use the environment to your advantage. Watch your map for people fighting around the worm door. If an enemy is coming and planning on grabing that gold solara bub, watch your map and drop from above right on the button right as he is in there. Free kill. Also, if someone is fighting the Slug boss, pop in and stun him and let the acid breath kill him. If you are on the small map, always activate your flying drones. They are more powerful than you think. Push people into turrets or use your stun right when they get in range of it so they take extra damage. Even if it doesnt kill, it takes them out of the fight long enough to get ahead. Feel free to add to this. Title: Re: Awesomenauts Strategy Topic Post by: MrPillow on May 09, 2012, 03:03:40 pm whoa, i have been going about leon completely wrong.
before anything get the walking and attacking ai. at a turret, you're literally doind double damage. triple if you pull a 3rd clone. Title: Re: Awesomenauts Strategy Topic Post by: JabbaScrub on May 09, 2012, 03:07:06 pm Nah man, builds are really just up to preference. If you wanna set up your clone first, go for it. Personally I prefer to be able to chase people down better before I get enough solar for the clone.
Title: Re: Awesomenauts Strategy Topic Post by: JabbaScrub on May 09, 2012, 03:11:19 pm I'm not really seeing much of a use for Froggy G. He just seems like a less useful Leon. They're a lot alike, but since you can only have one Leon Froggy can be pretty useful. His dash+whirlwind combo can be devastating if upgraded, especially hiding behind a turret. Title: Re: Awesomenauts Strategy Topic Post by: JabbaScrub on May 10, 2012, 09:02:54 pm So apparently Yuri can heal the core..

Still, I don't like how Yuri is basically a camping god already, and this certainly doesn't help. Title: Re: Awesomenauts Strategy Topic Post by: JabbaScrub on May 11, 2012, 06:21:07 am Yeah. IMO you shouldn't be able to heal the core AT ALL. It's basically one of the rules of the game that the stationary objectives can't be healed. This just ruins that. Also, anyone wanna tell me how to take down a good player running Yuri? He's probably the hardest for me to get rid of. It's near impossible with a good teammate on his side.
Title: Re: Awesomenauts Strategy Topic Post by: Turboweasle on May 11, 2012, 09:48:17 am I'll let you know as soon as someone tells me. If his flying wasn't infinite it would be easier, but as it stands he can just zip off and by the time you find a booster or jump to where he is, he's already behind a turret or healed completely.
Title: Re: Awesomenauts Strategy Topic Post by: absta101 on May 11, 2012, 10:33:10 am I've found out that clunk can fly higher if you tap the flying button instead of holding it. That's why I think clunk is most effective against Yuri.
Title: Re: Awesomenauts Strategy Topic Post by: JabbaScrub on May 11, 2012, 02:25:57 pm I've found out that clunk can fly higher if you tap the flying button instead of holding it. That's why I think clunk is most effective against Yuri. Orly? I'll have to remember that. Were you the one healing the last match I played on Solara? I don't know if you were dead or what, but me and cat were trying to rush the turret and you weren't there. I don't know if you were preoccupied though.Pillow, that clone strategy was pretty effective. I don't think it did much physical damage, but they definitely slowed our advance. If I hadn't been able to get to you and keep you from sending them in, we would have had to either kill them or let them have free access to our turret. Also **** you and your froggy stun :P Title: Re: Awesomenauts Strategy Topic Post by: Turboweasle on May 11, 2012, 03:19:51 pm Yeah that stun's a b*****, as I learned just now.
Title: Re: Awesomenauts Strategy Topic Post by: MrPillow on May 11, 2012, 03:32:25 pm yeah I fuckin pimp it out with that stun. I did horribly whenever I played as Leon, I couldn't get anything going or setup :(
Title: Re: Awesomenauts Strategy Topic Post by: Keihan on May 11, 2012, 03:35:15 pm Does this game have a lot of replay value?
I downloaded the demo on XBL. Gonna try it out sometime soon. Title: Re: Awesomenauts Strategy Topic Post by: MrPillow on May 11, 2012, 03:40:23 pm its the most ive consistently played an online game since mw2
Title: Re: Awesomenauts Strategy Topic Post by: BlueBlargg on May 11, 2012, 03:41:23 pm Leon is actually pretty good without the use of tongue/backstab.
Just put slow on his sword and upgrade his sword/health/movements and he's pretty much beasting and you don't really need the cloak since Leon's one of the fastest characters to get away. Also howdy. =o Title: Re: Awesomenauts Strategy Topic Post by: BlueBlargg on May 11, 2012, 03:48:56 pm Anyways, strategies.
I play Lonestar/Leon/Clunk. I can use a mean clunk with explosion and complement Turbo's Voltar and pretty much tank turrets. I'm only level 6 1st prestige though, so I don't have some of the amazing things such as Lonestar's land mine dynamite or the 2nd health pack kit. (Clunk's really hard to take down when you maxed out both health packs.) I can use Lonestar with Froggy G players, Froggy G is really good at splash stun, and when they're stunned, I can just use my Dynamite. (I usually get 3 dynamites before anything else) and pretty much overpower everybody in the beginning. Leon, IDK he's just usually a good 3rd member. Title: Re: Awesomenauts Strategy Topic Post by: JabbaScrub on May 11, 2012, 04:09:33 pm Yeah, Leon's slow is pretty useful. I still think Backstab is vital. It's only one purchase and you instantly have a huge gain in attack.
Blargg, were you playing with us areound 3:00? If not, we need to have a Clunk vs. Clunk sometime. 8) Pillow, why were you spamming "defend" that first pub game we joined? I couldn't figure out what you were trying to tell me.. Title: Re: Awesomenauts Strategy Topic Post by: BlueBlargg on May 11, 2012, 04:21:50 pm Yeah, Leon's slow is pretty useful.

Nah, I was playing in a private match with Pillow vs. absta and Turbo. Sure I'll face off against your Clunk =P Do you build his gun up first or go for the life bite/explosion? Meh, it's honestly up to you how you want to build Leon. I just never liked using Backstab much lol.

I'm tired of getting crappy teammates and I'm honestly trying to get good with Voltar, but my team is always like 0/8 1/6 while i'm at 4/3 with Voltar and tied with the other team's first place level =/ Title: Re: Awesomenauts Strategy Topic Post by: JabbaScrub on May 11, 2012, 08:05:01 pm Want to play against some pubbers now?

We've got a guy here who streams it nearly constantly, and he'd be more than happy to have another viewer.

I meant to just defend.... :P Turbo and I find the easiest way to win a match is play defensively so you can accumulate more kills, and once your several level highers than your opponent overpower them and take out their turrets, and from there you pretty much have the momentum to win.

I still suck though. :-[ Title: Re: Awesomenauts Strategy Topic Post by: Turboweasle on May 12, 2012, 11:40:54 am Okay, something I've learned about Lonestar is that he's a great distraction.
Once you get the trinamite going and have the bull, you can take on a turret on your own with relative success. Obviously the enemy team will move in to stop you, but using the bull you can get away very easily. That means you can harass a turret while your team moves in to take down another turret. Not sure how useful that would be against competent teams, but it worked for me in public matches. And with Voltar, as long as you can keep him alive, there is absolutely no need to defend a turret once your team has their setups ready. Title: Re: Awesomenauts Strategy Topic Post by: JabbaScrub on May 12, 2012, 02:42:22 pm Okay, something I've learned about Lonestar is that he's a great distraction. Lonestar attacks one turret, Clunk-Voltar attack the other? Now that you mention it, I think that's what one Lonestar I was up against in one pub match friday was doing. The thing is, I completely whooped him either because he's not a great player or because the bull is so easy to dodge with Clunk.Once you get the trinamite going and have the bull, you can take on a turret on your own with relative success.
