How to Brokestar
This is Procraft’s guide on how to play the most broken naut in the game, “Lonestar.”
Now let’s just get this straight, if you look on anypage of the leaderboards I can almost guarantee you that there is at least one lonestar main on the page.
At the point in time of making this guide literally over 25% of the top 100 players main lonestar. Hmmm that’s funny, out of the 23 nauts in the game, lonestar makes up over 25% of the top 100 mains!?!? You can CLEARLY see a STRONG correlation between broken nauts, and the most played nauts.
People are attracted to things that are OP?? WHAT! THAT’S INSANE! UNHEARD OF!
People rush the broken items for lonestar!?!? WHAT! IMPOSSIBLE!!!
Does lonestar take any skill to play?? NOT EVEN CLOSE.
In the most basic form, ANYONE can simply pick lonestar and hold down left click to win. A braindead slug could do this. Now there are some legitamately skilled lonestar mains out there, and most of these players actually prefer not to rush the OP items first (and some of them do). What makes someone a skilled lonestar player, is one who gets bull pins and lands all their dynamite at optimal locations. An unskilled lonestar is one who piggy’s into booming bullets and missile, another missile, and transfusion (and claims he won because he is skilled). All of those items listed are completely broken and need severe nerfs.
Let’s explain why these following items are broke, shall we…
Broken Bullets
In the past, booming bullets were pretty decent, but not overpowered. Just recently they recieved a buff in which they no longer need to hit a target in order to detonate, thus giving them the properties of an airburst weapon. This gives lonestar a free range and area of denial buff for no reason whatsoever.
Missile!?!?!?
Here’s where all hell breaks loose. Lonestar’s missiles used to be balanced. But now, they got a ridiculous range buff. Raelynn and Clunk had a little “alone” time in the most recent patch, and conceived a whole new breed of steriod AA. These missles will pick you off across the map without you even knowing, with INCREDIBLE accuracy. Each and every one of these missiles comes with a free clunk homing upgrade, because these things will to 10,000 barrel roles if they need to, in order to seek you out. ON TOP OF ALL THAT DID I MENTION THESE THINGS CAN LITERALLY SNIPE YOU. Ok, now thats all…(OH SICK JUKE! BUT WAIT THERE IS MORE!!!!!) Each and every one of these missiles even comes with a small form of fragmenting shells! SERIOUSLY WTF?!?!
Yes you heard me, THEY HAVE AOE. Which means you can clear lanes by pressing your left mouse button a couple of times from across the map in a mere second.
OMFGSERIOUSLYPROCRAFTAREYOUDONEYET????
no.
In addition to everything, these missiles have a slight knockback which for example is just the right amount to displace a clunk that’s about to dropsplode all over your face. This tiny unnoticed effect can actually make a huge difference in certain matchups.
ANOTHER MISSILE!?!?!?!?
THERE’S TWO OF THEM!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Transf**ked up Grenades
The main reason these transfusion grenades are OP is because they dont work off of a certain percentage lifesteal. Meaning that if you bought these right in the beggining of the match with no damage upgrades whatsoever, it wouldn’t make ANY difference if you waited late game to max out damage. If you hit a simple wave of 2 droids with your three sticks of transfusion dynamite, you will instantly gain 360 health back. AND YOU CAN LITERALLY BUY THIS SUSTAIN RIGHT OFF OF SPAWN. This is ridiculous! Imagine the heals you could pull off if you hit more than 2 targets!! WTF.
