(XBOX)Why Try Pal Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Does anybody have a true use for atlas nowadays? After the fix in Jv where you can't desecrate your rumblers, I haven't found a reason to use my atlas at all :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use him for most of Infested defenses , Excavation missions , Sorties etc. His Rumblers are quite useful too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickshotMcGee Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 The above method is pretty good for blocking off Defense objectives/Excavators/Mobile Defense doors. I also like the ONE PUUUUUUUUNCH Landslide augment, which petrifies enemies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On console I've probably seen 2,3 atlas since the no desecrating friendlys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also health of walls scale with your hp and armor ( power strength increases hp and armor multiplers ). People always choose cheesiest ways to play frames anyways but Atlas is more than a Rumbler spawner for Nekros's desecrate. :) Edited June 20, 2017 by Aeon94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(XBOX)DShinShoryuken Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 He needs to have his Petrify radiate through his Rumblers and walls to give synergy. That would make him a better stoner for the game. I enjoy using him in Uranus tunnels while Rumblers toss rocks at Grinny. His 1 is fun for slamming into all things while being Diamond....esoecially the Toxics. Canno wait to give him a go against the new Grinny guy on Earth. Besides his quest is one of the only ways we get walking to Archwing. Still waiting for Archwing to walking that trailer showed us back in the day.....

xXx_mtv_xXx Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I would only bother using him for melee exterminate sorties tbh, he's not much good for anything else. He's a mediocre tank and his rumblers don't do much. Two of his abilities are just useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obviousclone Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 his walls are unique since they functionally block enemy movement as a physical object, allowing for chokepoint blocking/funneling of enemy pathing. One thing I've done a few times is play capture missions where one cannot one-shot the capture target, and simply walled off the pathing of the capture target giving an infinite amount of time to clear the target's healthbar. you can also pick him as a decent damage frame through landslide.

_Vortus_ Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Lack of imagination. Watch what his Rumblers do the the Raptor. Use Walls to block in the Defense Target on sorties so they don't wander, set a specter or two to guard, then go wild. Has a nice synergy with Limbo in Cataclysm when punching.

(PSN)robotwars7 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 he can one-punch things and make rock monsters, it's all I need! 4 hours ago, _Vortus_ said: Use Walls to block in the Defense Target on sorties so they don't wander, I never thought of this.. if I can get that Augment and make a build that'll be sortie viable, I'll have to try this!

k05h Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) Atlas comes at position 2 of my most used frames. I use him for everything including sortie. I use a speedy survival build with a large health&armor pool (vitality, steel fiber, armored ag., rapid resilience, arcane guardian), speed (rush + armored agility) and good amount of strength (transient, intesify). His rumblers are always helpful because they pull agro and will destract enemies. His Tectonics wall has a 3 second invulnerabilty phase. All damage absorbed in these 3 seconds is added on top of it health. Very useful when reviving team mates or when you need a few seconds to recover. Then there is of course the punch that I use situational. I always love to jump into a horde of enemies and start to push 1.

SilvaDreams Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 My favorite time to use Atlas, Sortie 3 Eximus Exterminate or Survival. I just one punch my way through anything that even looks at us funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
