Skirmisher: Difference between revisions

The scurvy-infested dogs of any pirate crew. Don't let the powderkeg strapped to his back fool you - this guy's quick!

Official Skirmisher avatar

Overview

Because of their low health and armor, these guys aren't famous for fighting fair. Skirmishers rely on speed; the freedom to flee with ease is theirs alone, and with it, the chance to corner a foe at their weakest moment, or surprise them with a sneak attack!

If a situation becomes too hot to handle with the cutlass, give it a shot from a safe distance with your flintlock pistols. Skilled Skirmishers use their speed to their advantage, and cut their enemies down with finesse. For less graceful Skirmishers, there's always the keg: an explosive barrel of black powder that sends enemies flying, and if they survive the fall, leaves them limping.

Weaponry

The Cutlass

Cutlass

Average pirate cutlass. A must-have for any self-respecting Skirmisher. It swings and charges quickly, but not powerfully. This is your main weapon, and once you get the hang of its speed, you'll slice through unsuspecting enemies in no time! Take care though, this weapon is only a one-handed weapon and will be parried easily.

When your special bar is full, press the special button to execute a powerful Lunge. This Lunge will propel you through the air in a straight line at high speed. You can use this to escape prickly situations where you may be unable to simply run away, such as when somebody blocks your escape route. If you're higher or lower than your target, you'll probably hit them less, or even miss them completely.

Dmg Charged/N:56/42

Forward/Side Interval: 15

The Flintlock Pistol

Flintlock Pistols

The Skirmisher uses black powder flintlock pistols (six of them) but they are slow to reload. The shots may not be very accurate, but they are a quick and effective way to deal moderate damage from short-medium range. The Skirmisher carries no back up ammo initially, so be sure to grab some! Accuracy decreases significantly while moving, so stand still or you'll probably miss shots you need to hit.

Dmg: 40 - 32 range varying

The Powderkeg

Powderkeg

The infamous keg: full of gunpowder that explodes when the ignited wick reaches the barrel. When equipped, the Skirmisher takes it from his back and holds it with both hands, greatly reducing his movement speed. Pressing the attack button once ignites the wick, and pressing it a second time tosses the keg (which lightly damages enemies it collides with). Stuns nearby teammates and deals massive damage to enemies, though most of it can be blocked by a shield. It takes 75 seconds to respawn.

Dmg: 175

Extra info: Blast radius is approximately 600 units. Damage decreases with range (1/6 per 100 units),

-Because of their low health and armor, these guys aren't famous for playing fair. The Skirmisher relies on speed, the ability to run away from any fight easily is freedom that only the skirmisher has, and that means that these guys can pick their target when they are at their weakest, or utilize the element of surprise and attack from behind.

-When a situation gets too hot for the cutlass to handle, you can always take some distance and use your flintlock pistol. It requires skill to play this class if you want to own your opponents using only the cutlass. Skilled players often beat most other classes by using the skirmisher's speed as their advantage. For new players there are other ways too, like the keg, an explosive barrel full of black powder that'll surely send your enemies flying and makes them easy for skirmisher to finish.

 ===Cutlass===
-Average pirate cutlass, a must-have weapon for any self respectable skirmisher. Swings and charges fast but is not very powerful. Many quick slashes at your enemies back is good way to start a fight. This is your main weapon of use, it can be a powerful weapon when you get the hang out of the speed of this weapon. You'll slice through any unsuspecting enemy in no time! Be careful though, this weapon isn't very large (a [[Combat#Weapons#One-handed Weapons|one-handed weapon]]), and can be parried by almost any weapon. A watchful opponent will give you a hard time if he knows how to counter attack you.

-When your special bar is filled, press special button to do a powerful forward lunge. This lunge will make you fly through the air, and is faster then your normal walking speed. Because of this you can use your special to escape really nasty situations where you might not be able to get out by simple running. Like when someone manages to block your escape route.You can't change direction while lunging. The lunge will be less effective when your opponent is not on the same height as you, like on stairs. If you are higher positioned then your target you'll likely hit him less, or maybe miss him. If your enemy is on higher ground you can find yourself bumping to the ground and missing some important hits, or not even reaching him.

Pistol shot may not be very accurate but it is a quick, effect way to deal moderate damage from short-medium range. When spawning the Skirmisher carries no back up ammo, so be sure to grab some! The pistol does a moderate amount of damage, and is a good weapon to 'soften up' your enemy or for finishing purposes. The accuracy of the weapon decreases a lot while moving, so be sure to stand still when firing otherwise you have a much higher chance of missing a shot you need to hit.
