Plasma Masma

I just bought the new Plasma Masma Rover in the scrapyard. I have been using Fire Destroyer Rovers until now, and thought they were great units. Seeing that the Plasma Masma Rover was 35 gold, 15 more than the Fire Rover, I assumed that it would be better. I have found, that is not the case.

When attacking, it seemingly does approximately the same damage, but no damage over time like the Fire Rover. The Armor, Speed, Range and HP is the same. I do not feel the new Plasma Masma is worth the extra 15 gold.

I would like to suggest perhaps increasing the range, damage, armor, or HP. As it stands, I will revert to the fire rovers as, for 5 extra gold, I can get 2 Fire Rovers for the price of one Plasma Masma.

Yup, doesn’t seem worth it. Either faster shooting, longer range or perhaps some extra armor/HP will justify the price.

Just look at the stats, the only thing different about the plasma masma is that it lacks about 100 dmg… the rest (hp/armor/attack speed) is all the same.

Good find. Not sure if it can be changed but its a good find for sure.

So, I noticed that the plasma masma unit has literally changed, as in… the dmg text now displays 310, which is 10 more dmg compared to fire rovers – but none of the other stats’ description texts have changed. Since I am also the owner of one such “fine” unit, I do not “feel” the difference in dmg, in game (note that I have been using it for more than a week now, in all my battles). I did notice however, that at certain times, randomly, it gets an immense firing speed, then it stops, then it shoots like crazy again… is this normal behavior? Cause if it did had a tremendous firing speed and 310 dmg instead of 225, then the price difference would be justified.

Cheers.

Yes we discussed this over the weekend. There were improvements:
Attack power up to 310
Health up from 3720→3750

Compared to Fire Rovers, those don’t seem very drastic changes? Definitely not changes worth the extra 15 gold?

Or is there something else special in Plasma Masma compared to Fire rover? Higher armor penetration or something?

I love the fact that the new T8 tank – the Austria tank – has 100/sec fire rate. However, it’s dmg is ZERO (0)… so it makes it seem so fast at not doing dmg… wow! :))

All the tanks show 0 damage, but still they actually do punch some.

Maybe Kane could send a report so the stats could be fixed? I’d like to know what the damage is.

Although the Austria tank doesn’t really look worth it otherwise.

Indeed I could. The Austria tank was actually one of our first tanks, and was named after one of the original devs. The Sharma tank as well. Unfortunately, I never got one named after me… :’(

I think the changes in the Plasma Masma should have helped, they are worth more, maybe not 15 more, but its no longer equal and they are better. But its up to players if they think its worth more or not.

I’m sure you meant Plasma Masma, not Fire Rover.

No, Kane probably meant that even with the changes to the Plasma Masma, the Fire Rovers are still worth all the 20 gold :))) :P

edited my post ;)

I like the plasma masma cause it seems to be a tower magnet:)))))), so even if I’ll lose it, then I’ll have an excuse to buy more fire rovers:))
