Taedber Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Im not sure if its me, but atlas having the third (i think) highest base armour (400) seem really squishy. Even putting steel fibre on i feel that my frost prime can tank better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heckzu Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 The trick to playing Atlas is not to tank as yourself, but instead let the two rock bros tank while you do all the damage. Also, you're invincible during your landslide animation. If you build enough efficiency, landslide is essentially "pre-nerf" hysteria minus the life steal.

He doesn't have abilities that support tank gameplay unlike Inaros, valkitty and dracoframe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoelleAllogene Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 nobody said Atlas is a tank. He's a brawler with his 1-2 jab and golem bros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kronxito Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 (edited) Atlas is not a tank. He is a summoner. He supports his pets. 2 minutes ago, dataman88 said: nobody said Atlas is a tank.

Mastikator2 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Your first, second and third line of defense is mobility. The enemy AI aim is lowered by your speed. The purpose of being tanky is to give you more breathing room, not to just facetank with impunity. Atlas can not be knocked down or staggered when he's on the ground and his 1st ability makes him very fast and staggers enemies. The rumblers attract enemy fire. Atlas is plenty tanky.

lemonpepperwet Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 There's multiple ways to build Atlas based on your playstyle. I rarely see him used as a summoner nowadays. I usually play him as a DPS that doubles as CC frame with his augment. If you build straight Efficiency + STR, your combo window will be big enough to hit 50-100k per punch based on your melee weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)CommanderC2121 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 With a max steel fiber, he gets around 75% damage reduction. Thats not a bad amount, but hes a secondary tank, as opposed to being a primary tank like chroma. Hes a primary brawler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXx_mtv_xXx Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 He could definitely use the conclave augment for his ult in pve too, but alas Atlas :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horaciozhao Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 well, he doesn´t have any tanking defense ability for himself, but he does have one rock giant with actual taunt. So it´s the rock who will tank not him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PsiWarp Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Let Rock and Roll tank for you, while you go punching things or blocking with wall(s) that you can also use to hide inside while reviving teammates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
achromos Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I know he isn't Tanky in the conventional means, and not including his summons... isn't he invincible while he's punching? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noobverest Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 When I think Atlas, I just think of 1 spam. A T L A S = O N E (punch man) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrazilianJoe Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 His stone breath should work as a melee blocker for the purpose of mitigating incoming damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjacat2015 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 (edited) Atlas in a squad is a support tank like Rhino not facetank like Chroma or Wukong that absorb damage from high level enemy. You use your rock walls and golems to support team mates and protect objectives. Your armor protect against one shots and reduces the damage you take.

(PSN)robotwars7 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 in terms of outright durability, he's not. he's not a Tank, he's a Brawler. the difference is that a Brawler has to keep attacking to gain their high durability, and this is the case with Landslide. you're literally invincible during the animation, and if you can keep spamming it, you can move between targets without taking a scratch. if you're under fire, you need to deploy the Rumblers to take their attention away. Atlas is a seriously powerful frame if you take advantage of his 1 and 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could maybe rework the pvp augment (Rumbled) for it to work in pve and essentially act like an Iron Skin for Atlas.
