Doesn't work against AT valiance, argent or alchemers. Those weps have a bigger range and ASI and AT will hit you with random spam.

I was thinking you could achieve a higher rate of fire by shooting Polaris twice, then switch shoot a bullet with Supernova and back. Of course, I guess you could just switch shoot with only Polaris. It's a bit harder but I think I could do it with mouse (though not with Wiimote).

I don't use a cursor (no mouse and touchpad sucks) and I still can spam pulsar pretty well. This is for people with no cursor:

1) Use AT. It doesn't help if you can aim, but if you can't it sometimes lets you shoot at crazy angles making predicting your shots harder.

2) Shoot the second bullet where you think the target will be moving to dodge your first. Since you don't have the luxury of tracking them with a cursor you will need to predict which direction they will glide towards to evade bullets that are already on the field.

3) Strafing is key when trying to close off choke points. Also, try to make your shooting pattern irregular so strikers can't time moments to dash through.

4) One advantage to keyboard gunning is the ability to do surprise direction switches. Enemy knights will not be able to see you turn and will be less prepared to dodge the bullet. So prediction is key.

5) When you are mobbed, get them to chase you. most of the time this will gather strikers in a bunch behind you and you can more effectively do a surprise 180 shot.

6) If strikers manage to circumvent your pulsar shots at a chokepoint or if you accidentally fire 3 shots, use the dash dodge *towards* the enemy. Most gunners dash away, so experienced strikers are more likely to predict that.

Don't hate on what you never tried.

Contrary to popular belief:
-AT does not lock on immediately to the closest target. The target has to be within a certain angular range for a brief moment before the crosshair kicks in. A striker boosting past or even running normally past your field of view will not be caught in the crosshair.
-AT only works if the target is within ~40 degree angle of the direction you are facing (20 degree on each side).

Pulsars are in general, incredibly predictable. Their purpose is not to snipe people but to trap them until they eventually get hit (hence spamming). The reason AT is useful *when you can't aim with a cursor* is because it sometimes allows you to shoot in directions that is not one of the standard 8 as restricted by keyboard controls.
Note that if you split 360 into 8 sections, each section is 45 degrees. This translates into a big "gap" in coverage over far distances. If you have AT on, there's a slight chance that it might lock on to an enemy in that gap, effectively firing a bullet where you couldn't have fired before. This wildcard actually would confuse the opponent who is used to your normal "gridlocked" shooting pattern.

Also, as a keyboard gunner, you will be less equipped to target enemies that are close to you since they can drastically change the angle of approach by travelling a small distance to the side. AT helps mitigate that.
Suppose a striker swordsman charges you at ~25 degrees due North. If you have a cursor, simply move it and fire a shot. If you have only keyboard your best bet is to fire north. Without AT, there's a huge chance you will miss since he is travelling towards you and the bullet would not have expanded enough to graze. With AT there's a much better chance since he is moving towards you and therefore staying longer within your AT range, allowing the crosshairs to kick in.

1. AT doesn't work with guns unless you stand completely still, country feller and cradarc r nubs.

2. There are no degree specifications for AT, you must be standing completely still so.. just stop.

3. I see the rage still goes on.

4. Hi country.

I'm pretty sure AT with guns have an angular range and work when moving in the clockworks. I have not tested in Lockdown, but I'm assuming it would be the same.

Since when am I a keyboard gunner? I thought I said I play with a Wiimote. IR for aim, Nunchuk for movement.

Doesn't count as "moving", that means that with shield cancel/ Boost cancel + random spam of 2 hits with valiance/alchemers/argent will hit you even if the player you're facing is a grandma.

Boost cancel also helps Polaris to spam 1 hit all the time.. Like adouken in street fighter rainbow edition... Damn I'm old...

Supernova can be good in Lockdown.
16k damage only supernova right here

If you do a 360 fast enough while you're spaming, bullets will have a strange random effect in their direction. Maybe is just my ping, but still looks cool.

Country my little pony, I'm quite sure you like the word "Direction" since you're a fan of those..1D...

50k cr for the first one who put a pony pic on a 1d poster.

Must say

"We luv Contri and his pony tail"

I'll send it tomorrow morning.

Gotta say is damn cute.

Wait

Now I wanna JB riding a pony with Country's head.

Must say

The pony :Oh pleaseeee ride me Bieber....

Bieber : I know you like it Contriponyboy

Use your paint skillz

13 year old Bieber, then? Gotcha. I'll give him some kawaii eyelashes. I'm busy tonight though so I'll make it tomorrow, I guess.

Why thank you, my dear Seranah!

Edit: thanks, Feller! :D

Contri u forgot 360 randomspam technique. Works great in teamfights
