Ha! This one. I have a dual-blade scrapper alt who has this for fun. I sometimes take him to Atlas Park, and make him use his scrapper taunt slotted like that. The dual-blade (or katana) taunt animation is perfect as he just points one of his blades at the low-level target and it just dies from his awesomeness. Hilarious!

My favourite power to use is Adrenalin Boost. Especially on a lowbie who is struggling their way through a fight.

when i first started this game, my first character was a elec/energy blaster. a few long since moved on ingame friends and i used to go to perez park and play impromptu par 3 golf games. typical start tees off from a roof using tp foe, hopefully you've made the green on top of the trees, and a shortish putt to the hole in the trees. the toughest part is adjusting the strike to propel them just far enough, but not too far.

also, tough to make a hole without killing them, but at level 9 or so they have a bit more goto.


in atlas, my favourite power is observation: spot the newb, spot them 1-2m inf and wish them a fun day.

I know your type...first one's free right? Then they get hooked and next thing you know they're /e panhandle-ing for AB under Atlas.

For shame.

Oh yes, also, finding the occasional newbie, perhaps one with the pocket D pass but no vet rewards and handing out a little starting cash is always fun

I'm a drive-by buffer. Well, a "fly-by" buffer, anyway...

I like taking Suzume through Atlas and dropping force field bubbles on all the lowbies.

Super Speed + Force Bubble. I have spent hours tearing around Atlas flinging everything in a 50 ft radius backward.

I even made a game out of it: Minion Hockey. The way it works is you have to send an enemy flying past the two Police Drones that guard the steps leading up to Miss Liberty. Once or twice I've even successfully flung enemies between Atlas' legs (cue peanut gallery).

Back when I still PvPed in Sirens I finished off a fleeing villain player with the Perfect Zinger proc from Confront. I had a screenshot of the event until my computer died. Good times.

I'd go with brawl slotted with the Chance for Knockdown in Kinetic combat. Underlings get knocked back, so I can hope that a level 1 underling would go flying.

Back before power customization, I always liked to recharge my Terra Volta reactor shield right before finishing a respec, and then running to Atlas to make lowbies wonder how I got the bright red bubble around me. (See my avatar.)

I have to admit that I once cast a Warburg nuke on a costume contest, just for the wtf factor. A lot of people swinging around, confused about what had just happened. I think that was around the time that I defeated Sally with a Warburg nuke, too.

As for powers to use on enemies, Levitate and Lift slotted up for knockback are hilarious on low level enemies. They fly so high!

I don't know about atlas, but in Cap au Diable, I love throwing a vial of bees at the Luddites and watching them run for their lives.

Gale (I have it 4 slotted with level 23ish Kinetic Crashes for the Knockback Protection bonus). On level 1 Hellions. They go flying off Team Rocket style.

Force bubble.

Turn it off, stand in the middle of a crowd, and then turn it back on. They will go flying away so fast and far, you can't even target them anymore.

Group Fly.

The visual effect is awesome, and there's no better way to encouraging a new player to stick around than allowing them to experience flying at level 2.

Besides knock backs, siphon speed with the Proc for damage.

I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.

Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.

So sad to be ending ):
