Not to mention that I’m already very skeptical of the viability of vomiting up enemies as damage output because it’s reminding me of Atlas’s tectonics, which we all know has terrible damage.

so_many_watermelons Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 His 2 sounds like a waste of an ability slot, like they could've figured a way to incorporate it back into the 1. Pretty and aim to suck up enemies, maybe hold to shoot enemies out as the 2 currently does, and then double tapping 1 quickly to release all stored enemies. After that though, I dunno what could replace the 2 slot, among whatever else DE had previously tested with Grendel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnOldAlias Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 (edited) Personally, I like Grendel's ability toolset, but I do think that his #3 and #1 projectile enemy vomiting(and the general consumption of the enemy from #1) needs to make sure to do percentile health damage. It did seem as if it did so for the #1, but the enemies were low level, so not sure. The #2 is pretty great, with the ability to target instant eliminate specific enemies. #4 being physics based is interesting, but I do hope they allow there to be a toggle, so we can more easily control the thing, or at least allow further control along with the physics aspect to it. Honestly though, despite #3 being alright looking, I think it should be replaced with something else, as #1 hold can do the same thing basically(despite the hold #1 regurgitating all at once). But, overall, I like it a lot. Hope the buffs and the 'frame are worth it when it comes! EDIT: Hope I got the # of the abilities correct, lol.

I was thinking True damage, similar to Hydroid's Undertow. Especially since just as with Undertow, they said there is an energy drain while holding enemies. Speaking of that energy drain, sounds like RIP energy regen options. Between being full of enemies and rolling around with 4, which also drains AND eats enemies up, they better give him a higher base energy pool or one of those buffs from the 3 be a heal to at least give us a Rage/Hunter Adrenaline dependency.

I assume that his 3rd gives him a regen buff when it's used, too, as it's called rejuvinate (i think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about Gauss dashing towards Grendel, then Grendel swallowing Gauss and holding him inside? Then when they are ready Grendel can regurgitate Gauss out at the speed he entered giving his AOE impact when he hits something? It would be like a swallowing a "human cannonball" and then firing him out at enemies or towards high places. Grendel will be able to absorb Gauss and use his speed to turn into Sonic. You curl into a ball and start rolling around the place at mach speed while "his world" plays in the background using a shawazin tune Edited August 16, 2019 by Olphalarepth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PsiWarp Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 I am more concerned about his health recovery and if he can use any of his other abilities during Meatball. He doesn't seem to get any health from eating enemies. I also want to launch enemies as a rolling catapult ball! Reb had infinite energy on so his drain is not shown. Hopefully the energy booster buff from Nourish is strong enough to help him maintain his power when a fair amount of enemies are inside his stomach. Aside from Toxin AoE's and procs, add Corrosive and Gas procs to help him digest. I wonder if self-damage can hurt eaten enemies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tovon Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Anything that is a ball and rolls around at high speeds should have the ability to drift in my opinion. Bind the drift action to the sprint or sprint/roll key and if you planned to have sprint used in his ball form, just add it as a passive natural accelerator. So what if it can't be used in 80% of missions? Still would be a fun thing to do when you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was paying more attention to what was going on in the screen, not the UI. Fine, it's the other way round. My point stands, his 3rd is useful beyond just lobbing enemies.

(XBOX)YoungGunn82 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 (edited) Let me start by saying you guys at DE did a great job on Majin Boo Kirby frame. That said Steve wasn't to thrilled with his 4th called meatball. So after I saw Grendel rolling around gathering enemies and getting bigger at the same time; I instantly thought Katamari Damaci. So instead of meatball how bout "Katamari"? Edited August 16, 2019 by (XB1)SixGunLove Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
