The Mercury needs a massive change to its jump to be able to use the Helldive. Jeez even Adiannnnnn’s recent video of Mercury with Shredders he doesn’t hand a single Helldive (not I switched of half way through vid)
Now - Invader - this robot has an insane jump. Exactly what the Mercury needs. Longer, faster, flatter.
The Mercury is way to high and slow and small radius. It’s just a crap Quissy.

I have 2 Mercury's and I land helldive all the time. It's all about anticipating enemy movement, using cover, and timing your decent.
For example, if you and your opponent are on opposite sides of obstacle, you jump over, if they move to the side, descend on top of the obstacle. If they move away let your jump go.
My favorite way to land a helldive is to catch a jumper(stealth or not) jumping. Jump so that you collide with them and you will both drop straight down in a loving death embrace. Don't activate to fall though, it will only shorten your stealth.
You can also bait people around corners,use lockdown weapons,ambush,or just jump straight up and drop straight down when next to someone behind cover(or above or below you).

It does have a small radius. Took me a while to warm up to it, but now I really like it.

Nailed it.. gotta get the timing just run... but yes always fun to catch a stealth bot not expecting it... always fun.... best i had was two specs hiding behind wall on carrier.. timed it right and got them.... |
