ROXXXY Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I think that if there was a giant war on a planet where it was Grineer vs Corpus, the corpus would win. I mean seriously I went in an invasion and the Corpus totally dominated the Grineer. Like one elite Crewman killed a Heavy Gunner with a TINY bit of help. The only effective Grineer against the corpus were the Eviscerators and the Napalms. All the other Grineer units were killed easily by the Corpus. Even when I saw 3 Grineer lancers and vs 1 Elite Corpus crewman, the Corpus crewman won. Like the MOA's seem to kill the Heavy gunners and Elite Lancers with ease. So what do you think?

vaugahn Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 In-game, that might be the case. Unless the Grineer had rollers and seekers with them. In the lore, the Grineer are waaaaay stronger than the Corpus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StinkyPygmy Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Normally its the other way around for me. I see the corpus get wrecked a lot even without napalms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Hollow118 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Rollers are key to the Grineer's success, they just have to learn the path to victory before using it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)redman74 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 after supporting Grineer mainly in Invasions I would say it's fairly even. It depends what units get spawned in for each faction. I once followed an Arctic Eximus Bombard and 4 Napalms through 3/4s of the map, using my codex scanner while inside the Eximus' snow globe. They burnt everything in their path. In fact I hardly killed any Corpus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzaku4489 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 All the Grineer need to do is send a single Seeker in. I've had one 1-shot me (technically 2-shot I suppose) with his Kraken, through my block, through my Iron Skin (+90% power strength), and maxed Redirection and Vitality. 2 bullets. Over 4k damage. Seeker OP. Corpus lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaurdianaq Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Don't forget that invasions are designed to make the opposing faction stronger. If you notice when you side with the grineer the corpus are higher level than the grineer, and vice versa. Otherwise there would be nothing for the tenno to do in those missions.

Xeo_Nespydonum Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 As a whole I see Grineer as being more powerful when fighting in invasions. It's usually a toss up though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
likeitsillegal Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) Corpus dominate the Grineer in technology, but the Grineer are a clone army feverishly dedicated to the will of their Queens. The Corpus won't fight for something if it isn't a fiscal priority, and they'll drop it completely if it looks to be a profit drain. The Grineer, however, are a true military society with the goal of expanding their borders and asserting Grineer dominance. Cloning gives them a huge pool of units with a ton of variety and some powerful weaponry. What they lack in technology the Grineer cover for in numbers and will. Grineer pride worldwide.

MihawkDulacr1 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 The Supra is really a pain to fight against, those elite crewmen chose the right weapon (and im still on to build this friggin beast) Other then that, Grineer are the real military force and I believe that they would clean the battlefield with the corpus units.

taiiat Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 that's odd. normally i see Grineer dominating Corpus in Invasions. Grineer get Slash Effects all the time, and can stagger, and their Heavies have either a lot of DPS or tons of explosions. and Corpus have Supra, Flux, and Shockwave MOA's. everything else Corpus have are pretty meh against Grineer. even Detron Crewman aren't that great against Grineer. Grineer have Armor, and Armor dominates. any Enemy without Armor is 9y783q458079tyb345f078bt345v8079b% easier to kill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Techs use the Supra, Elite Crewmen use the Flux Rifle which is pretty nasty on anything vulnerable to slash. Such as lancer stomachs which have less armor then their upper body.

The faction's troops you do missions with are down leveled AFAIK. This could be the reason for this.When i side with Corpus they're like level 9 as opposed to lvl 20 grineer and get wrecked like no one's business.

The_Rising_Dusk Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 If you've EVER done a long grineer survival mission (eg: ceres) compared to a long corpus survival (eg: pluto), grineer are 100x more difficult to kill. Their armour scales absurdly, their bullets are hitscan, they have rollers and heavy gunners, bombards and napalms and more absurdly powerful units. So no. Grineer are MUCH stronger than corpus.

Hatzeputt Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 It seems to me, that side you are supporting has a noticeable lower level than the side you are attacking. If you back grineer for example I noticed that most grineer were level 5-9 while most corpus were, as indicated in the mission info, level 15+. Which makes sense since the tenno is supposed to take out the bulk of the enemy forces and it would be pointless if you could just sit in the corner and let the Ai fight itself and win it for you.

Nayru Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Corpus have shields.Grineer have armor.Corpus tend to deal decent puncture damage.Grineer rarely deal impact damage.Corpus lose when napalms/bombards are involved, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixty5 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Low level the corpus will beat out the Grineer. At that point tgeir armour hasn't scaled hard enough to beat out the puncture damage done by the corpus. Plus at that point the Grineer have their weaker units. Later on the Grineer scale up much harder in terms of Dps and tankiness. There is a reason they won Gradivus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
