played a lot in the last few days. lev 8 gals. Shield feels as normal. It's important to note what OS and region your playing. Updates/nerfs hit each OS and regional server at different times. Android, Aust. It has been 4 days since this thread started.

Does someone have actual evidence, other than I can say for certain that Aphids do seem to splash when they hit the shield (and why wouldn't they as they are an explosion!).

I wouldn't say that aphids have splash damage (compared to pinatas, pins, & tridents). I think what you're seeing is that some of the missiles are getting around the shield because of the angle they're coming. My Galahad takes more damage from aphids if they're coming in from a high arc and hitting from the top. If I'm moving sideways (with shield to the side for max speed), then I can dodge them almost completely sometimes. This works less so with the splash weapons unless you're backpedalling away. Backpedalling doesn't work as well on aphids than moving perpendicular.

Galahad DID get nerfed. Leg turning speed is slower. Lancelot was nerfed, aphids were nerfed, orkans were nerfed. Every gold purchase i've made in the past 3 months has been nerfed within a week of buying it.

Every gold purchase i've made in the past 3 months has been nerfed within a week of buying it. ALL bots had their walking mechanic tweaked... for some reason, not just the Galahad. When were Orkans nerfed? What evidence? Aphids were buffed, then nerfed... but they are still better than the pre-buff state. That end flight mechanic went from a large spread, to a tight ball, to now an in between, tighter spread than pre-buff, but not the "can't miss" little ball the initial buff gave. So, in effect, they are still buffed, just not as much. Lance was the only one in that list that is really a nerf. IDK if I agree with it since I don't know why they did it, but I am pretty sure I don't agree with it at all.

AND i believe they travel at slower speeds, so a bot going over 40km/h can outrun them. aphids, ah, whatever they're alright as they are now.

A single Galahad can take out 3-4 Plasma Griffins. Or zero DB griffins.

I don't want to get into a pissing match... but I seriously doubt Orks had Trident sized splash. 30m may actually be a tad bigger than Trident. I have no idea about the rocket speed, tbh.

Between backpedaling to take off the brunt of the damage and staying between 300-350 meters a galahad has some pretty good defence against DB Griffins. It's being able to see on the tiny mobile screen when the DB griffin is actually an RDB griffin.

When you face thunder leo now with any bot it feels like you are weaker as they take so long bring down and can put hell lot damage out.
My Carnage and Galahad feel weaker on battlefield due to the 1000's Leo's put there now

I can only go by what they list in the FAQ. Usually when they buff or nerf something it's reflected by the numbers in the table. Based on my personal game play, can't say that I noticed any difference. Based on past track record, it is foolish to think Pixonic is correct in their stats, correct in how something functions in game and is ever fully transparent.
Nobody is perfect, but the amount of 'errors' and required 'fixes' is astonishing.
I, for one, will no longer be giving in to what little buying of gold I did to speed level 11-12 upgrades as I'm tired of Pix's constant f**kery.

Backpedalling doesn't work as well on aphids than moving perpendicular. Been using Galahads (and taking aphid salvos) for a while. Thier shield behavior is, recently, definitely different. Seems like all weapons, other than plasma, do more damage to the shield itself as well.

Gala's nerfed? I dunno what you're talking about, I run 2 galas in my hanger, I end up taking out at least 2 enemies before one gala dies
