    Hello, i just wanted to share how i do my Assault.
    Yes i know its alot to read and if you dont want, dont read it.
    If there are any typing mistakes, cool.

    Yes i know, some will say there are better playstyles, but i only have good experience with this. I am in every 2nd or 3rd game MVP with around 20 kills each round.


    What is this Style about?

    I made this style to play as all roles in a game. You can go for lots of kills, you can push your bots really good, you can take down Jackbots and Turrets really good and you can defend your base pretty good with it! Thats why i call this a hybrid style.


    Assault class itself.

    The Assault class is definatly my favorite class in this game, its fun to play with the other classes also, but i stuck to this class if i want a sure win.
    You can pretty much do everything with it as i said.

    The assault rifle is your main weapon, it alternate ability is to zoom in, what makes you shoot much more accurate but slows your walking speed.
    This weapon is pretty good to take down any enemy. You will need a few more shots on a Gunner or a Tank but you will be able to take em down easy.
    The trick is to keep a specific distance between your and your enemy.

    Why is this distance needed?

    Gunners Slam
    Tanks Whirlwind attack
    Supports Draining
    Snipers Icetrap and Grap
    Assassins Grap

    You have to practice on finding the perfect distance but you will learn it fast.
    Another important part is to never fight while standing still, you always have to move, thats why you have to practice your aiming with the rifle.
    If you hold your crosshair on the enemy while shooting you will be surprised how fast they die. Most people think "Meh, a rifle" but that weapon is extremly powerful.


    The second weapon is the Grenade launcher with the alternat ability to grap.
    The only time i use the GL (Grenade Launcher) on enemies is on Tanks and Gunners if they activated their turret mode. I also use it if people hide behind a corner so i let the grenades bump of the wall to hit them.

    Mainly i use the GL to take down Jackbots and turrets.
    The grap is good to take down single Black Jacks.



    The Skills!

    The Assault class has 3 skills (Thanks Mr. Obvious, lol), the Mine, the Jetpack and the Rush! I will explain you now how i use this skills.

    X The Mine

    The Mine is pretty much my favorite skill.
    First ofcourse its pretty useful as a trap, if you stand longer at a position you place the mine near you where u think the enemy is coming from! On level 3 it can take down a Sniper and a Assassin in a single explosion. The Mine can also stick on a enemy, but i rarely try to do that, i always place it so i can knock the bigger enemies (Gunners and Tanks) off the map and kill the weaker ones like Assassins and Snipers.

    On lvl 3 it also does ALOT of damage if you stick it on a turret or Jackbot!


    Ok but the main reason i love the mine so much is the good old bomb jump! I rarely see someone doing this exept me. You can place the bomb on a edge to jump (on LVL 3) over the whole map. For example you can jump on Grenade III arena from the platue on your base you can use it to jump directly on the ring over the moneyball of your enemy!
    Also you can be always the fastest of your team. You just bomb yourself over the map!


    The perfect Bomb jump is like this:

    LvL 3 Mine, you jump so that you are not directly over it, you are in the direction where you wanna fly, then jump and press X. The mine will never kill you but you burn after it so you have to wait a bit to regain health.

    While you fly you activate your jetpack and then do the rush skill and WHILE you are in the rush you deactivate your jetpack and as soon as your rush ends you will still fly fly a bit cause of the push that the rush gave you, if u still dont reach the place you wanna land you can activate your jetpack again.



    Y The Jetpack

    The Jetpack is.... obviously something that helps you to fly. You can use it to get over gaps or irretate your enemy! If there is a Tank i usually jump and fly over him and shoot him while this.

    Another really good feature of the jetpack is, you can reset a push. That means of something shoots you away (example: Gunner Slam) and you are about to get launched off the map just activate you jetpack and you stand still in the air. To get back on the map you can do it like the rocket jump, do the B skill Rush and release your jetpack while you are in the rush to fly alot further!

    The big difference at the Assault Jetpack is: You cant fly up or down with it. If you activate it you fly only at that high at which oyu activated it!

    Little Hint: Pressing Y to use the Jetpack is annoying in my opinion, you can also activate your jetpack if you press A while you are in the air!



    B The Rush

    The rush is maybe the most powerful attack when it comes to a 1on1 conflict.
    On level one and two its just a normal rush which still does a good damage.
    But on level three it gets a Grap! This Grap is perfect to knock of enemies off the map!

    Also the skill helps you to get rid of the Assassins. Well you cant avoid backstabs but if you get front grabbed while you have full HP you wont die, and keep pressing B while you are grapped and as soon as the grab of the assassin end u will immediatly do you rush which will kill an assassin!


    Another useage of the rush is to get out of hairy situations (lol). You can run behind corners with it really fast if someone shoots you and you are about to die.

    And ofcourse the usage to bomb jump (look at the mine skill).




    Endorsments:


    Gold - Fire Rate
    As i said the rifle is a really powerful weapon. But to make it even stronger you get the Fire Rate Endorsment on level 3.

    Silver - Critical Shot
    And yet again make your rifle even more powerful by using the level 2 endorsment critical shot.

    Bronze - Armor
    The Assault has a decent amount of health, but for me personally its not enough for some situations, the Armor endorsment still gives a good bonus on level 1 so i decided to use it also.



    Upgrading row:

    Here i will show you in which row i usually upgrade my skills.

    After Spawn:
    X and Passiv skill on level 2.
    |
    V
    Save for 400 and do the mine on level 3.
    |
    V
    You save money to do the B Skill on lvl 2 and then on 3.
    |
    V
    Now save enough to do the Jetpack (Y) on level 2
    |
    V
    Now you can decide if you do the Passiv skill on lvl 3 first or the Jetpack on level 3, i personaly recommend to max out the jetpack first.

    Nice info... it seems to be solid enough. But I think you should check your spelling and grammar on this one.
