Description
How to make a Boomer better? You give it a bigger bomb, of course! And you make it faster, upgrade the armor... That's what Ultimates are all about, right?
Characteristics[]
The Ultimate Boomer is a modified Soldier carrying an explosive charge that runs at enemy targets and explodes, dealing heavy damage in a small area. Good for hitting enemies that are grouped together and distracted.
Advantages
- Effective in small groups.
- Deals Heavy damage
Disadvantages
- Is very weak to light units and infantry counters, such as Gatty or Jackal.
- Must walk into melee range to explode
- Requires a few seconds to arm the explosive on sighting an enemy.
Good Loadouts
- Works well with fast mechs like Neo, Striker, or Saucer to drop them close and distract enemies.
- Effective with push-oriented loadouts.==Notes==
The Ultimate Boomer will increase it's move speed when it locks onto an enemy unit, and will run up next to them and explode. Once they are prepping their explosion, they will still self-destruct even if the enemy unit is picked up or moved. If a Ultimate Boomer dies before exploding, it still does a bit of damage, although it is less than full damage.
