Scourge - Weapons Damage Test - Holy Guacamole

Heya Aleksandr(?) ! Nice tests! May I suggest to maybe create a summary thread that links to the separate tests like Frunobulax and put the numbers directly into the thread? People might appreciate being able to quickly look up numbers without searching through a video! Just a suggestion - nice work!

Will you PLEASE take this misleading video down now.
scourge is utter rubbish, more like a gentle tickle or massage, does very little damage (at 599m) ?.
(Edit : just for clarity, everything above is a joke, everything below is serious)

However...
Up close and personal...
It’s just violent.

Little hint about facing Lancelot In a Haechi.
Lock on target, double dash into them so you’re standing on their toes.
Usually, at least 2 weapons reach around the Armour.
You do the math.
My first MK2.

I don’t think scrouge can be compared with videos like this ( no offence) . In real game upclose you can lose lock easily , also by watching this videos some people says scrouge is better than orkans but they are ignoring burst & splash damage. Scrouge are like tarans which requires los and hits at centre. After buff they are decent but with all the draw backs they are not even close to overpowered. It’s just now they are at same level as orkans, tarans which it should be as it cost 10k comp for 1 scrouge unlike taran,orkans. After buff lots of players are using them but I still see more tarans, orkans in champ compared to scrouge which means they aren’t overpowered. However I do find 1/2 or sometimes even more st builds.

Both weapons are very strong and viable to any hangar in different ways. Do not exchange your Orkans for Scourge just yet .
As seen in my test video, the Scourge dishes out that full damage when very close - 50m and below. That means you're right in the face of your opponent (inside their energy shield). It also means you take a much higher risk of receiving damage yourself .
The true strength of Scourges imho is their "lock-on" function to a target, i.e. those Kumihos and Striders and other Dash bots can't just outrun it They'll get their fill of damage - but more often than not from the safety of cover rather than up close and personal. However, if you're having trouble with a Lancelot dash in, unleash the beast and watch that front armour plating pop and turn black  

Orkans have a different way of dishing it out - very high burst damage (you dish out all the damage in a super short time), but then need a relatively long reload for their next burst. (that's balancing ).

Both weapons are very good in their own way, useful against different types of targets. Keep upgrading both .

Cheers
