Malcolm????

[legacy-Gamemaster1667]

I would like to see how the ppl that only use malcolm use him. Like make me a Malcolm guild if you can, i just malcolm all the time and i think i'm pretty good with him but i want to get better i think i die way to much but i can't help. I use homing a lot and kill groups of ppl useing almost all the time. The only other thing i use is heal. When ever i get into a melee fight i mostly lose unless they have low heath. SO can some of the ppl that are really good with malcolm give me some tips on how to play with him also how not to die so much.

TY

use iron spirit or w/e it's called for melee

If you're dying a lot more than you feel you should it "could" be because you're jumping into the fray of a crowd. Isolate your enemies from scavengers and kill stealers before you commit to a rush to finish them off this will improve your kill to death ratio in the long run... Or you can just not commit to rush at all that works too.

You didn't mention the use of Iron Spirit. Use it more. It nearly doubles the punishment you can take, its very abusable. Yes Homing is great in U-damage and crowd situations, but if your dying a lot just to save up for full adrenaline (and all those deaths are bugging you) then it's probably time to switch tactics and experiment with a different approach.

If your going to melee its a good idea to stick to pounces and malcolms heavy attack. His heavy attack is arguably the best in the game. It's fast and recovers quick enough for you to completely neglect his Light Attack series, this is a big advantage he has over others... abuse it.

Also learn your maps so you can control key areas for dominance.

Big Slick is probably the best malcolm users I have seen. He has over 8000 kills with him and something like 550 deaths. All this and he has only used homing 11 times. The majority of his adrenalin use comes from speed which he has used over 5000 times and heal which he has used over 1000. This is a very good stratagy.

Most people I see use these characters the wrong way. They think the strictly offensive moves are always going to work the best which is hardly the case in this game. Homing takes 2 full bars of adrenalin meaning if you save up for it, you are defensless most of the time. Homing also only works good in big games where you can get monster kills with it. Use it in amtches of 2 to 4 or 1 vs 1 and you are not going to get much out of it.

Speed however only takes one bar of adrenalin and makes you a pretty much untouchable target. You also have the map advantage with the ability to whore all the weapons and powerups before anybody else can get to them. You can also get to and escape from all your enemys very easily. Not only do you do all this but it is a good offensive stratagy since the people you are shooting at are much slower than you making them easy targets. Master speed and let your aiming and explosive weapons do the work while being the harder target. You will also be able to light up with pretty much any other medium character from this stratagy alone.

I just unlocked Malcolm, and I really like the way he works. His agility and vitality/life/health whatever are balanced, which is nice. His melee is really strong. I play as him and Selket.
