1 [quote]Do you think Blitz is a strong pick in the lineup right now to even see much use? I see people field Kodachi as their preferred raider, but I'm not hunting down tank 1v1's.

2 Blitz is strong. Typical tank play from what i've seen - aside from players who have awakened to unrivaled goodness of pure welder - is several kodachi into blitz squad into heavier tanks. Kodachi is better as an early raider because of regeneration, cost, and because it needs to only shoot at mex once to kill it. Blitz is better at medium tier because it can stunlock some of its counters, deals better with heavier raiders ( like Scorcher) , has more range and is generally more self-synergetic. Blitz and Kodachi seem anti-synergetic so Blitzes, if deployed, tend to phase out Koda. 2 Blitz is strong.

Plus at midgame the repairs it takes become affordable. Blitz and Kodachi seem anti-synergetic so Blitzes, if deployed, tend to phase out Koda.

4 Blitzes do lose hard against dedicated assault/riot pushes and are too expensive to fight e.g. Dominatrix, so when it gets there, the tanks player has to get creative. Also removal of its EMP death means that lighter raiders have an easier time swarming it. You get 5 glaives for 1 Blitz, so in favorable circumstances Glaives can kill it, etc. Darts and Fleas ruin it extra hard now that they don't get punished for success. 4 Blitzes do lose hard against dedicated assault/riot pushes and are too expensive to fight e.g. Dominatrix, so when it gets there, the tanks player has to get creative.
