Question:
This isn't a repeate of Petroleum's favorite item topic (if it is, then deleate it :-/)
These two items do the same thing, they increase your shot's damage by 33% (at least I am assuming cannonball power is adding damage...), the only difference is blood takes away from your health (8%) with no delay, Power up adds delay (50) but no health.... so which do you value more, delay or life?
I am very aware this topic isn't as important as Petroleums favorite item, just wondering since these items dont get used *as* often, and they do the same exact thing...
I'd use powerup, the delay isn't that much anyways.
I think powerup is better, since i would rather lose 50 delay than 8% health.
Agreed. I'm not keen with the idea of health loss. I'd rather take the small delay. Though some people swear by Blood, that the 50 delay can kill you (which it can :lol:).
All depends your mobile, high life mobile I'd use power up as the losses are less, but a low life mobile; power up's my choice.
QuoteAll depends your mobile, high life mobile I'd use power up as the losses are less, but a low life mobile; power up's my choice.
err.. that didnt make much sense? did you mean on a high life mobile you would use blood?
i guess thats a good thoery, but i would still prefer the delay loss to the health loss...
Uh no....
If you have 1000 health a 8% loss is 80 life no?
If you have 500 health a 8% loss is 40 life.....
So which would you rather lose? 80/40? I would ratehr lose 40 to a mobile with already low life as I know thats its draw back
ok maybe i got it backwards, but i still dont think your original post makes sense, because you said you would use power up for both of them, but now you are saying you would use blood on a lower life mobile..
ehh, whatever.. maybe im just stupid...
Depends on the mobile. If i`m playing armor i'll probably take the blood, since I dont wanna add to its already huge delay.
Bloods arent that usful when playing avantar on.
take a bot with 1000 health (pretty common) and add the 18% health bonus from the full gear, presto 1180 health.
now the user uses a blood, takes 8% of their life, 94.4, and adds 33% to the shot, lets use a boomer's damage 250-ish+the 30% gear +33% blood.
but then take into account that your opponents 50 defense will lower that damage by about half.
you damage is cut in half, so you might do 162-ish damage with a normal 2 shot, a blood only ups that to aobut 216-ish.
94.4-54=40.4-you lose more than the extra firepower deals.
you just dealt 58% the damage of a 2 shot to yourself, in exchange for an extra 54 damage.
avnatar off, they would be more useful, but not much, perhaps the only time I can think of is using one right after someone duals, you 2 shot +blood then go agian and dual, but agian it would work much better in avantar off.
it matters what mobile i'm using. For lightning i use powerup, but for Bigfoot i use blood!
EDIT: 100post? who cares...
If I'm using a mobile with low delay like Lightning or JD I would use Powerup, but if it was a slower mobile like Armor or Nak then I would use Blood.
Blood also isn't that bad if you have an organic creature and are packing bandages. You can definately out delay dual monkeys.
I have a question regarding Blood. Can you kill yourself using it? If so, do you get to take the shot before you die?
Bots worth using blood on
Armor - Hurts the hp a little more than I'd like but armor needs all the delay reduction it can get
A sate - Low HP bot = minimal hp loss from blood, combined with high damage = the perfect choice for using blood.
Mage- also a low HP bot with some good damage. Would take blood over a bandaid any day.
Lighting - Maybe O_o depends if I'm in the mood to deal with having to use a lightning.
Bots to use powerup on
Nak - Has a high delay but not as much as armor. Has the second highest hp in the game so blood really takes a lot out of the nak. I'd take the extra delay
Boomer - While boomer has a pretty low hp, it's also got crap for defense. It's delay is low enough that I would choose powerup.
Turtle, Trico, Grub, Ice = I'd rather have a bandaid
Bigfoot, Raon, JD = shovel plz
Aduka = who plays aduka anyway? Do blood and powerup even affect the damage from thor? Maybe if aduka had higher defense and more hp he would be playable in tag/solo. But then he would be too strong for score games. x_x
i use trico... trico has low life.... blood
Omni aduka's shots arent affected by blood or powerup it all depends on thor
Yeah...which is disapointing either way aduka isnt good for powerup or blood both of which hurt the user
Yeah, pretty sad for aduka fans (including me). I will go for blood, especially in 1v1 solo or tag. When both players r in red, u couldnt notice that it deducted 7% of ur health because ur health is already low! U can get urself prepared to give ur opp. a final blow.
I use blood, as i much rather play a "faster delay" game, rather than "dealing out as much damage everysingle blow, not worrying about delay" game. So i tend to use blood. Blood is also the smart option in jewel, as life doesn't count. But i guess anyone with half a brain knew that.
bahh for me I can't choose (thats why I made this topic), I normally play in 1 v 1 games, and delay is crucial for success, however health is just as important too, bahhh! its very hard to decide which to use (i sometimes will pick 1 of each ^^)
In 1:1, 4 heals and a D+....You CANT go wrong there lol :P
3 teleports.
no one ever expects that.
NO ONE.
it works too.
When do you use the tele's tho? if you start far away, you tele close... and if you start close, you tele away? o.O I can understand bunging situations, but that occurs once every 2 games for me... and i'm not a sg wh0re so i don't need to tele close
i have taken 2 teles and a dual (or dual +) before. it was a 1v1 and the other guy was using sate, and i teled away. then he followed me. he did this twice before i packed the second tele. then he followed me, and i teled across the map again. (he kicked me next game, lol )
