I'm tempted too... means their buff will be a success... I am sure that there have been a lot of folks buying Cheetahs since this happened.
I really want to max my Ares, Kitty, and Shadow, though. ATM, they will have a bigger impact on my game than a Cheetah... but it and Bricky are the only two mechs I don't have... decisions, decisions.

I almost broke earlier today and bought it, until I saw the acoin cost to move levels. Whoo. I will probably get in in a week or so, delayed gratification. |

Personally, would've bought it in a heart beat if I didnt just sink $34 on CB12 a week earlier, and that $25 Prodigy Creds 5 out of 5, and that $10 Arc6, and that.... I think I just grew from a clownfish into a mackerel.  |

I suspect I’ll have enough left over after those buys. Plus, my goal to max my main hanger, that has priority over upgrading any other mechs. |

"Still that $20 means its at 42% discount (46% if you inc the 300 A-coins from Specialization Spree). If you buy it later, there's no guarantee they will offer it at the same price in a week or so. And if you are really bent on getting it but decide to do it later, then you're basically throwing away money. Time value of Money." - Devil Bot on your shoulder Decisions. Decisions.

You previously stated you like sneaky tactics. This mech is different enough to the others to offer a different playstyle that is up your alley. No need to upgrade it right away. |

If you are saving the A's, the cash price is still the best offer for the next couple days. I doubt they offer that again for at least a couple months. |

I will agree on paper it looks OP. But things always need to be vetted in practice imo. Now thats its live everyone will test it and after it settles in the meta, we will see how OP it is. I've been playing Cheetah heavily since the update (mostly on Fortune Towers and Tunnel of Fate, which are some of the best maps for Cheetah). Yes, mine is only 4* level 7, which is a far cry from being maxed, but my two main mechs Killshot and Zephyr are also at 4* so I can compare relatively easily. With the rebalance, it's really fun. Just enough health that you can usually survive a Killshot dash with a sliver of health while the mines kill them. And just enough mine damage that the area denial is actually effective. But it is still very far from OP. It is slow and has low health, so one wrong move and you are dead. The three mine limit and the current mine damage means that you can't actually do much area denial since you should be placing all mines in the same place typically. Overall I think my Lancer is still a better light mech. I feel very much in the same camp. Im not sure if I'd go so far to say that my lancer is better, but I at least feel like the light mechs can be viable with good play and cheetah is well in the mix of that. Before cheetah wasnt even close to as good as the other light mechs especially for his cost. Now hes not only fun, but comparable. |

Well, I’ve been away from things due to some personal issues that have popped up… but I did get the deal right at the end of the offer’s time frame and spent enough ACoins to get it to 5.1. Definitely had a “SQUIRREL!” moment lol.
Have not had a lot of opportunities to play it, yet, but when I have and I wasn’t against a full squad of maxed folk, it’s been fun. MR 6 + Arc 6 was pretty good for Fortune Towers… will try 2x Arc 6 and MR 6, next… followed by RPG 6. For CPC or Tourney maps like today’s (Dockyard), Javs work fine… but in tourney the maps dictate the better weapon… so I am trying all the options I have.
The mines are definitely mean, now.

In the past i never feared the mines, but they can definitely finish you off now. *********************************** I do have a question that you, or others may have noticed while playing.  ?? Do the Reds mines look different than Blues, or possibly invisible to us? *********************************** |

Blue mines have a little blue circle around them, or they are highlighted… something like that. For Reds, they are not. That, I believe, is the only difference. |

Friendly mines have a blue pulse, enemy mines have a slight delay where they flash a cone of red up from their location before they detonate.

Easy enough to see when you expect them (ie see a cheetah camping that spot) but in the heat of battle, running and gunning you just go full action star super hero wannabe and roll over those suckers... then a second later, you see your mech blown to smithereens and think to yourself "oh right, cheetah got REALLY buffed"  I've seen them more than a few times and tried skirting around them, didn't end well. Either they have a wider than expected proximity sensor or my mech's have really wide butts. |
