I am considering maining Clash for Tower Control. Definitely an over-buffed weapon. I can see it getting nerfs in 3.0
Nah, it’s really good on TC like any other blaster.
But otherwise it doesn’t deserve a nerf imo, still get’s out-ranged alot and is pretty bad at turfing.
And well, stingray doesn’t fit it that well either. (The new version with burst bombs seen in the direct may improve upon this)
As for the question: clash can be seen as more ‘consistent’ then comparable blasters like luna due it’s high fire rate.
A luna is an all-or-nothing weapon whille the vanilla and especially ranged blasters rely more on direct hits wich 1-shot.
This can make the clash to be a more appealing blaster on first sight.
Directs with the clash can still be important mind you, but other comparable blasters ‘need’ it more.
A thing the clash also has (and why i love it), is that it can be overall more aggresive (without going all-or-nothing) since it’s fire rate helps with mantaining pressure and leaving no opening while offering enough mobility to not be a sitting duck.
You still have to be careful not to be out-ranged or be out TTK’ed, but by using your terrain well, this can do wonders vs groups of enemy’s.
