    Sniper dog on heroic will one shot my shield, a lot of stuff on heroic melted my shield near instantly. That is why I stopped using it.

That’s 75% bass damage bonus I’m able to keep active the majority of the encounters. I also have a lot of headshot bonuses and some moderate crit chance. I put a lot into skill repair to make the medic side of the build better.
    Try a heroic mission and you will see what people are talking about. The jump from hard to challenging is a large jump but a manageable (although frustrating) one. The jump from challenging to heroic (if you are not running pure damage) is an impossible one. Shield is worthless, armor is worthless, any non straight damage is worthless... Hell, even cover is worthless with all the drone, grenade, and rusher spam.

    You clearly care if you just made the choice to post about it and provided a picture as "proof"

    i just showed that it's doable, but you do need a partner when they flank, what proof do you need mr loltician? play the damn game or gtfo, at this point this is silly, or continue moaning whatever fills your needs

    But you didn't show anything, that was my point. You showed some numbers that could easily be from anything. Are you gonna believe some youtuber based on thumbnail alone?

    The strongest shot in the entire game outside of buggy Minigun dog and legendary - sniper dog. It hits for ~900k damage.

    So, you are either lying like a moron, or don't understand basic things.

    Skill builds work pretty well. I myself run half blue, half red, and it works fine for me.

    I'd actually suggest getting enough armor to survive e.g. sniper warhound shot.

    This really depends on various factors. You'll need at least around 50% critical chance for critical damage to start becoming worth it to invest into.

    Almost no enemy does that much per shot. Only some sniper bosses might, but even then I am not fully sure.

    You would think the game doesn’t have difficulty settings. With the New starwars game I turned it up to jedi master or whatever and promptly turned that ish down.

    Massive getting into the business of ego stroking got us to TU7.

    This game is highly adjustable for whatever level you are at. Fix the bugs and let it be.

    If you want to get harder difficulties, you need to get a balance squad: Support/Tank/DPS.
    .
    Nope. You need CC, a lot of CC.
    Even 4 red builds are fine if you have enough CC. Althou, tank and/or healer/support builds might help
