Defender PvP Guide

FoH can be harmful if you do not see the Titan coming, but in the end it is extremely beatable. Ward of Dawn will initially block any blast that takes place inside it, excluding any residual effects following the bubble pops. To beat a Striker, hang out close to the edges of the Bubble furthest from the oncoming titan. Just as he/she engages their Super, back out of the bubble. The initial blast is contained, and in the moment of surprise following, just shotgun away. You'd seriously be shocked how numerous other players just assume they will kill you in 1 hit. If I had to guess, I would say this functions about 70% of the time general.

In my opinion, Voidwalker presents the greatest danger to you, but only when they attack from afar and use the ability Nova Bomb with Shatter. For what ever purpose (bug or intended), it only requires 1 of the 3 projectiles to pop the bubble, and the other two will kill you. If they use an additional ability, exactly where the projectile remains singular, the worst-case situation is a ranged attack. In that case, the best technique is to sidestep away from the bubble, permitting it to absorb the initial blast. Watch out for the residual black hole thingy - that will kill you fairly rapidly. As soon as you are safely away from the super, you are just down to a gunfight. You may lose, but it is much more of a opportunity than you had prior. If the Voidwalker decides to get cheeky and attempts to super you inside the bubble, just use the exact same technique you would use vs. a Striker. Back out of the bubble, shotgun to the head, run away from black hole. For me, success vs. Voidwalker's super is about 40%. I certainly have much more deaths than kills against these guys, but most of these have been when they attack from far away. The only thing pulling that number up is that a lot of Voidwalkers think running into the bubble will work. It usually doesn't.

Do not be complacent when facing a Sunsinger! There is no unique tactic right here, but if you are utilizing Armor of Light and a shotgun inside the bubble they will not have time to drop sufficient grenades to kill you. Whatever you do, do not leave the bubble to attack them. Sunsinger melee is fairly impressive with the Super up, so you will want your Armor of Light to shield you as lengthy as feasible. Utilizing a fast shotgun like Invective will give you the very best success. If you really feel like you are going to lose, slip out the back of your bubble (while maintaining distance from the Sunsinger) and jump back in. This will restore Armor of Light to full. This strategy can, of course, mess up if the Sunsinger follows you out of the bubble, so try to be intelligent with your timing. Success vs. Sunsingers? Approx 70%.

• Unique note on Sunsingers: There is not a lot you can do about it when they use their Super to resurrect, particularly if your bubble is already gone. Whip out the shotgun if you are close (or the Suppressor Grenade if you are at distance).

Facing off against a gunslinger is a game of reaction time. They have sufficient shots in that Golden Gun to kill the bubble and you, but that does not imply it is a surefire defeat. The best way to deal with this threat is the Suppressor Grenade, as the vast majority of gunslingers will not be stupid enough to jump into your bubble - they will just take you out from afar. There is no AoE like Striker or Voidwalker, so there is usually the chance they will miss, but do not count on that. I've had the most success by jumping up out of the bubble and tossing a suppressor grenade at their feet. Generally, I can re-enter the bubble without them picking me off, but even then it is just a factor of reaction time. If the suppressor grenade toss is effective, you will pull them out of their super and they will shed any benefit they had. The only thing you can do here is be quicker than them. It is not simple, but my probabilities are usually about 40% against these guys. The only purpose I do not think about them as deadly as Voidwalkers is simply because of the higher opportunity of suppression achievement.

My preferred, really. They are quick - extremely quick. You cannot outrun them, you cannot out-melee them. So what can you do? Hang out at the back edge of the bubble as usual, and park your self there with your preferred shotgun. They enter? Blast away. That is it. Effortlessly the most reliably countered super. Patience and a cool head will leave you the victor almost each time. Achievement price for me is effortlessly 80% or much more.=
