Suggestion:

Give catalyzer bullets the ability to pass through any type of shielding and be able to charge the targeted enemy as long as it comes in contact with that target. This change would also affect ld if it were to happen.

Reason:

It is too annoying to attach a charge catalyzer bullet on an enemy that has the ability to shield. Having to find a way to get around the shield and be able to charge the target makes the gun not worthwhile and the gun will have less player usage later on in Sk's lifespan.

Catalyzer is crap and underused but it has little to do with the very few monster that use shields.

Gremlins have shield on their backs, but they attack you head-on instead of using their butts so don't count those.

Statistically, 50% of randomly detonated Catalyzer bullets on Gremlin Thwackers will do nothing, though.

Don't forget Trojans.

Man, imagine being able to negate the entire thing that makes Trojans a unique foe. Just imagine how everything will become just a modicum easier, a modicum worse.

Enemies you shouldn't use Catalyzer against because they are shielded:

  • Gremlin Thwackers count because charges do not detonate the second you land them. In addition, it's hard to control exactly when you detonate these charges due to their dodging. Furthermore, Thwackers move erratically and often face their backs towards you for just long enough to just eat your bullets. Thwackers attack you with their fronts, yes, but you do not want to be caught launching charge shots while a gremlin is attacking you in the first place. Gremlin Thwackers are found everywhere.
  • Gremlin Menders are immune to Cata charges while their shield is up. Gremlin Menders are found even more everywhere than Thwackers are.
  • Mortafires. Thankfully rare.
  • Mecha Knights. If you are ever going to an arena, you will meet these a lot.
  • Trojans and Deadnaughts. You meet these frequently in end-game content.
  • Battle Pods. You will never see these again when you're done with missions except for GitM.
  • Vanaduke. Pretty relevant.

oh god

Enemies you shouldn't use Catalyzer charges on because you will be horrified:

  • Vanaduke's mask (extinguished state). Because it won't be anymore.

    Glad..

    glad you guys agree that catalyzer deserve some kinda tweak to make it more worthwhile. So what do you think about my idea where as long as the charge bullets come in contact with the target, it will charge the target for that one charge.
