[GUIDE] The big soldier guide

[TaXXoR]

Thank u,
very nice guide. First round with 4CM 2BS 3000exp

[Revenga]

nice one

But I should use CM and 1BS
next upgrade: lvl 1 BB (use RMB to activate it)

Also, I would not max out CM as fast as I could, the extra % you get in the end is not that important, its better to invest hero points in BB och 6th sence

I fully disagree with you
Maxing CM AFAP is really a MUST
I use 6th sence myself, but it's not worth to upgrade further than lvl 5 since you don't need it all the time..
It doesn't get that better as you train it, so it would be a wast of HP..

Mhmm, I have not tryed the pistol with my soldier maybe its time for that...

[nFNN]

imo the best final build would be:
CM 5/5
BB 5/5
BS 5/5
6s 1/5

First, it's spelled sixth sense.

2nd, pro tip: 5/5 CM should heal for 44, but due to some rounding (or partial health?), it will often heal for 43. Therefore, if you are alone, heal as soon as you drop to 67 health. Why? because the earlier you do it, the sooner it recharges.

3rd. Don't be afraid to heal teammates even if you are at full.

[Revenga]

Only heal at 50 if you're around your teammates

Very good guide, just for me.
BS and BB are for me best abilities for combat on a battlefield.
CM should be max. at level 3, just maximize BS and BB.
GS - I don't use it
6thE - Maybe at level 1

[PapaSmurf255]

My level 19 right now has:

CM - 5
BB - 3
SS - 1
BS - 1

With short/long smg to take advantage of the BB (and I was doing SMG IV mission, which I actually got ), moving to short smg / long pistol.

It's my prefered combo to use, and I put a lot of snipers in their place (lol, the ground, funny) with my pistol, cover, and what not. Also, the pistol does excellent damge even at close range, so if you run out of bullets on your smg, and you start to reload, switch to your pistol to continue to get shots off, and when your smg finishes (it will continue to reload even if your not holding it) you can go back to rapid fire mode.

Heh, I'm glad I read this thread. Just started playing today and was getting annoyed with snipers. I replaced my shotty with the long ranged pistol based on the advice here, and just starting killing commandos left and right

[Revenga]

That pistol really rulz =D
but I would replace lvl 3 BB and lvl 1 BS by lvl 3 BS and lvl 1 BB, as you don't really get advantage of training BB furhter than lvl 1

[ForeverSoldier]

My lvl 20 guy has:

CM - 5
BS - 5
6s - 1

Since 6th Sense really only needs 1 point, I'm going to get BB next. I have the close and medium range smg's until I finish the smg mastery missions, then I'll get the long range pistol because snipers are really annoying me.

Thanks for the guide!

Next to the damage addition, you will definitely profit from the 10sec recharge time at lvl5...

[Revenga]

BB is just great because you can use it in almost every situation
at your lvl training it to lvl 20 is the best option

HINT: use RMB to activate it

When people say short smg/long range pistol combo do they mean the super long range pistol? or just the long range one?

The very long range one
