I just got my own drakon, and already I my ultimates made out except for firestorm. Now if it werent for those freakish arms I of gone with the frenzied firestorm, but is the explosive firestorm any good as well? I really like those wings so please help me decide >.<
Go for the wings or the damage bonus?
went for Frenzied, yeah the arms are ugly but the skill makes up for it. The other one is just a larger fire area, I don't use firestorm just for the fire that much unless it's a danger room with ice cubes or something.
Too bad the gun puppy one wasn't more easily available so you could get it on that instead.
Seriously?
Give a damn thing about the looks! Frenzied is better. Period. It helps not only you, but the team as well. Enemies don't even have to be burning, just be in the fire, so using the drakon is viable vs monsters that are immune to fire (main example is fsc ofc).
Bit offside topic, same thing goes for sera-users. Yes, the antenna is lame, but which is the better? The dmg boost for you and the others or a small dmg boost for your sera? I think the answer is clear. (Altho having a bk neglects the looks problem, bks get dreadful aura for the disintegration ulti).
Wanted to get regualarge drake 8 stead because it hits my costume style better than my mas keratin and black Kat seraphynx. Those wings with my volcanic g 1 wings looks exact :)
I got the Explosive Firestorm. It's not bad as enemies get somewhat delayed by the explosions that slightly bump enemies around, but the damage is pretty lacking. I recall reading somewhere that it optimally deals roughly 1k. I use it for meh crowd control.
The main problem I see with Explosive Firestorm is that with Frenzied you have the chance to do the double (charge) attack bug.
While we wait for drakon users to chime in, have you searched to find all of the threads about choosing sprite ultimates? I hope that this helps.
