Cooler (Final Form)

[proud shell]

I was playing cooler too

[little timber]

??????

skill 2 wouldn't cancel atomic supernova

[proud shell]

It did cancel my supernova...

[lunar briar]

I think it does it when you are in retaliation

Because it gives high pressure on it

[little timber]

Supernova counts as a dash?????????????

[proud shell]

Wdym dash

Supernova doesn't have any movement

[little timber]

he mentioned the high pressure it inflicts, that only affects dash based skills and vanishing step

otherwise i don't know how death field could cancel atomic supernova

[chilly night]

coola

[lunar briar]

I don't know
Much about that

But I think if S2 doesn't do that then maybe S3 does because it grabs and slams the enemy

[little timber]

yeah, maybe he was talking about death chaser

[inland lantern]

Any tips for cooler,going into s3?

[terse tangle]

Dabbling in some Cooler, the cooldown reduction for Eye Beam might make getting Retaliation easier.

Not sure if it’s yet worth it to burn the state on eyes itself tho.

May also benefit from having more chances at catching a timely stray from Vegito.

[little timber]

with the interval being 0.25 seconds for a total of 5 seconds it can be usefull

[terse tangle]

Noted. Sadly, I really can’t make heads or tails of Cooler’s optimal Card Set now. S3 balance patch got real whack.

[little timber]

the problem is the health reduction he got on season 2

it limits the options for cards on him

he needs to run build up mainly now

[terse tangle]

That explains a lot. I’ve been trying to push Snowball lately.

[inland lantern]

What is the setup for cooler on cards?

[chilly night]

COOLA .

[inland lantern]

Correct!

[swift flare]

cooler players

iv been trying to make him work well , what are you guys general maxing strategy and cards for him

and how do you time your passive properly / what skils to doyou enhance

[inland lantern]

I cant speak for others,but for me,it's a bit like playing punch out.

Every fighter has a tell,maybe a small windup,maybe an orb,maybe it is their pattern of how they fight an enemy.

You use that,and parry them.

Eg:You're fighting a gotenks who always backs up before casting donut. You watch for the tell,where he backs up,then get ready to parry

[swift flare]

whats the maxing strategy

i mostly do skill 2 then 3 and leave 1 for last

skill 1 enhance does not feel nearly as useful as the stagger

[inland lantern]

Not good enough at this game to comment.

[little timber]

the buff on the burn damage on skill 1 is significant

it can finish off a player even if the ray is at level 1 since the burn lasts for 5 seconds with intervals of 0.25 seconds

[swift flare]

@little timber a question

whats the maxing order / cards for cooler rn

[little timber]

not sure myself

i'm experimenting

[swift flare]

what about general maxing order

[little timber]

depends on who you fight

most of the time it's ideal to max skill 2 to slow down enemies inside the area

alongside negating vanishing step

the burn damage buff on skill 1 is good as well

it can finish on someone low if they are far from tower since the afterburn lasts 5 seconds

[swift flare]

so im hearing

s2

s1 then s3?

[ripe anchor]

which move are y’all using with the passive? is there a meta or something?

[little timber]

Skill 1 to activate imperial retaliation and skill 2 to have it active for longer

Alongside your dps you can take down someone who tries to run away

[little timber]

Both are usefull, all depends on you

Skill 1 has good damage alongside the burn, skill 3 is really good to chase down weakened opponents or run away with skill 2 to stun someone trying to vanish step towards you

[ripe anchor]

alright thanks a lot

[lunar briar]

His skill 2 gives stun when you are in retaliation
It stuns the enemy team

Cooler is that tank every tank dreams to become
Damage and tanking altogether

And fk caulifla
People glaze and goons glaze her to much

Even though her damage is not visible

[little timber]

now that the meta is not as bulky as season 2, Cooler could run Prepare to Die

mainly for Team Fights where you can drop an Atomic Supernova and they will get erased

of course it depends heavily on your team

but it pays off good

it's also a little extra for Cooler since he's good to chase down opponents with low health

[ripe anchor]

yeah i‘ve seen some very good coolers run prepare to die

btw which build are you running is it build up, prepare to die and lbj?

[little timber]

Yeah but most of the time i feel like build up takes way too long to complete

I could get more mileage from another card for slot 1 but not sure what card

[ripe anchor]

i’ve been running too easy but sometimes it just feels non existent

like its still not good it barely does something

and I have another question, what’s the plan with prepare to die? doesn’t it only work if the enemy hp is under 50%

[stray fractal]

Hello there

I wish to fully master cooler

First off what are his best cards?

And when there's a super start which skills do I super first?

And if not where should I focus the upgrades?

[ripe anchor]

s1

[ripe anchor]

priority is s1, s2, ult and s3

idk about his best cards yet after the new update but I think it’s sonething like build up, steel skin or prepare to die and lbj

defensive vanish would also work

[stray fractal]

Thanks

[little timber]

It's for teamfights mainly, of course it comes in handy for someone over extending to punish them harshly but the main idea is having the advantage on teamfights

Supernova will severily hurt the other team if not outright k.o. most of them

[stray fractal]

Man bro cooler is still amazing

[ripe anchor]

i‘ve had some good success with too easy, prepare to die and defensive vanish

I managed to get one round with 12 kills 12 assists and one death

[little timber]

prepare to die comes in clutch when you throw a supernova on a teamfight where everyone is using their ultimates

[lunar briar]

Supernova can wipe the whole enemy team like spirit bomb does but in a better way

[lunar briar]

It will keep them in center and in retaliation no one can escape it

[silver kraken]

Cooler is cool

[ripe anchor]

yeah he is

[wheat sage]

Lol

Hes just

Cooler

[tough field]

cooler, cooler, freeza no brother

[jagged stratus]

Best Devine cards

For coller

I mean cooler

[silver kraken]

I use build up prepare to die and double vanishing step

[ripe anchor]

yeah that’s the build you could also go defensive vanish

[jagged stratus]

What's defensive vanish

[ripe anchor]

the other third green card not the guardian angel one

[silver kraken]

Pretty sure it’s called defensive step

[lunar briar]

But it nerfs your skills damage which is not useful

Use guardian angel it's better choice

[silver kraken]

Yeah I don’t use it

[lunar briar]

Gud

You can use Snowball and stell skin and guardian angel combo also for getting offensive

Because cooler is an carry unit we all know

[hasty vessel]

So I've never really been good with Cooler, what do I do? Do I always S1 to activate his passive so I can power up S2? Do I use S3 if I want a powered up S1? Or just S1 into S1 once the CD is over?

[little timber]

all are valid options

is up to you what you want to do in the moment

[lunar briar]

Use S2 to power up other skills or S1

[sharp kindle]

I've never played anyone more valid for lightning swift and pursuer

[sharp kindle]

Low cooldown s1 for your first retal, then faceroll

[hasty vessel]

S2' CD is too long for that for me, plus its use in limiting movement and some skills is pretty valuable

you practically make Gammas useless within that field lol

[hasty vessel]

Still, I'm wondering what the loop is, in general that is

so S1> Retaliated S2, then S3> Retaliated S1 is fine?

For early fights I also delay using up retaliation so I can do more damage with rush attacks

[sharp kindle]

Slow will help you get the charge slam. S1 will be back up. Lightning swift props when you need to melee range in a fight, and pursuer process when you're pressing buttons

Steel skin, maybe.

After your second s1, you have all the time in the world to boosted rush

Pursuer procs will be less guaranteed

With its CD

[hasty vessel]

Which one is Slow? S2?

[sharp kindle]

Yes, it's a slow and no vanish zone

You have some time after charge to rush before another s1, too

[hasty vessel]

Shouldn't I prioritize a retaliated S2 over S3 though? Unless I want to interrupt something like Cell healing himself, or Piccolo's ult

[sharp kindle]

There's the limit breaking jump to go with lightning swift, too.

You could replace pursuer for ¤perfect positioning with your lightning bolts

All the time you're invincible really helps his overall damage

Because it's just invincible during that set period, eats the whole time

If you're not getting hit for a second retal, that's that

But i wouldn't charge in with s3

[hasty vessel]

Yeah I'm trying to time my retaliations whenever I fight Vegetto lol

just nulify his ults, but lag gets in the way

[sharp kindle]

Managing when to skill on cooler is really high maintenance compared to his faceroll values

Which are high

In the tanks list, I'd say he's doing the best in fights you'd expect to die in.

And doing good damage with that

[hasty vessel]

yeah he didn't click with me yet, and he's rather frail compared to other tanks, Imperfect Cell and Baby aside, he's all about those I-frames lol

[silver kraken]

S2 interrupts aswell

It’s his best skill

Leave S3 at level 1

But max S1 first since it’s the most consistent

[hasty vessel]

That's what I've been doing

[silver kraken]

But if ur wondering about cards since build up got nerfed I still use it but you want to get prepare to die for your second card since it makes ur ult go crazy

[hasty vessel]

I've been using Too Easy, never thought of Prepare to Die for Cooler though

should he really use Pursuer as the third card?

[silver kraken]

Not really it didn’t do much for his character

Defensive step or double vanish is better

[hasty vessel]

I see, so the retaliation loop, should it be S1 > Retaliated S2, then S1 > Retaliated S1 while S2 is in CD? Or should I use S3 for a retaliated S1?

[silver kraken]

Retaliated s3 is good if you don’t have ur other cds

[hasty vessel]

Yeah I'm thinking of using it for an interruption in case S2 is on CD, but otherwise, it might be the weakest retaliation move right now?

[silver kraken]

Yeah it’s not very good in retaliation but in the beginning of the game it’s good end game there’s no point of using it imo

[sharp kindle]

1ku out spirit bombing my 5 seconds of fame

1 2 3 4

Enemy team ko

[quiet shale]

John F.Cooler

[inland lantern]

I need help.

How can I improve at cooler? Any guides?

[wicked radish]

improve

[lunar briar]

To improve
You need to become Cooler

[quiet shale]

I’m thinking cards for cooler would be build up,prepare to die or giant slayer,and defense step

Two green and a red card

Being giant slayer

Since I assume giant slayer does damage to other enemy hero’s I fight

[little timber]

Build up takes way too long to get on full stacks, cooler is not the best tank on getting minions fast unless his skills are maxed out

[quiet shale]

Never knew you were wise

Thx

I’ll sort my cards out in the morning then

[lunar briar]

Use snowball
Steel skin
And angel

This combo will help you

[silver kraken]

No no no

If ur not running too easy prepare to die and defensive/double vanish

Don’t play cooler

[little timber]

Prepare to Die relies on your teammates coordinating

in solo que is best to run either steel skin or giant slayer

if you do have a working team like on a party then go wild with prepare to die

it's insane with atomic supernova to finish opponents off

[hexed marsh]

I'll usually run build up, prepare to die and defensive step on Cooler works really well on him just the farming for defence buffs is annoying

Plus if any of u see me as Cooler just know I'll always run the fade for my homies even protecting them at 1hp

I act as shield for my allies and a sword to those who dare strike them

[silver kraken]

Not really i solo que and prepare to die works just fine

And tbh i just save my ult for bosses and it guarantees kills every time

[silver kraken]

I am the strongest in the universe

[silver kraken]

Do you guys think S3 could be better than S2?

I’ve been maxing out s2 for a long time first but I do wonder if S3 could potentially be better

[little timber]

Skill 2 is essential this season where team fights and vanishing step is very present

especially with Kefla on the game

you could make an argument about maxing Skill 3 over Skill 1 for better survival as a tool to escape

it's up to you if you want to max out his longest reach skill that can cause heavy afterburn damage with imperial retaliation or his lunge that has crazy range at max skill to engage or disengage

if you happen to get imperial retaliation after using skill 3 to run away you can use skill 2 and it will be almost impossible for the opponents to chase you

[silver kraken]

Yeah I tried maxing S3 and honestly it’s alright but like you said in this current meta S2 is just a lot better in every way

Maybe except damage but that doesn’t really matter

I haven’t tested the numbers for that

[little timber]

the damage is a plus, the main use is the high pressure that lowers the opponent's speed and downright stun them if they use a dash based skill

ssj4 can't use any offensive skill for example so he's left with energy barrier inside of Death Field

[hazy dagger]

I use S3 to immediately dive into my enemies attacks to get my retaliation and then pop my S2 to shut down vanishes high speed flight and dash skills

[lunar briar]

[little timber]

cooler doesn't has the hp anymore to do that effectively

even with all defense cards he still takes more damage compared to other tanks

this is why i want them to return Cooler's original HP

[lunar briar]

They fear him
After what he did in Season 0 and 1

They know if they buff cooler back to how he was
No one will buy new tanks (talking about F2p) he does lot of damage and tanks good

He was basically best

[silver kraken]

He still is lowkey the best tank

Although he can’t really “defend” his teammates he does everything else insanely well

[inland lantern]

Been running this,but am curious if there is a better setup

Any advice coolerlings?

[silver kraken]

Yes there is a much better one that I use

It’s too easy prepare to die and defensive step

I used to use build up but it got nerfed

Angel is probably the worst card ngl

[inland lantern]

Too easy?

[silver kraken]

Yes yes

It is a great card

[inland lantern]

I feel snowball is better for me specifically,but ill def give prepare to die a shot

[silver kraken]

Prepare to die is mostly for your ult

Since it just one shots everything if it’s activated

[regal zealot]

God damn cooler is so cool

Why had I not been using him from s0

[silver kraken]

So coolers ult is 10 nuclear bombs now

Not sure why they buffed the best move in his kit but sure

[inland lantern]

I feel his s3 needed buffs more

[silver kraken]

His cd for S2 aswell

It’s not that good to have that high of a cooldown

[inland lantern]

With the s2 i see why because it makes him a very good anti meta pick

[terse tangle]

Yeah. Could be particularly scary under Imperial Retaliation.

[sharp pilot]

We still using too easy prepare to die and defensive step?

[hazy dagger]

Honestly since S4 looks to be all about backfarming I'm going
Build Up
Giant Slayer
Defensive Step

[silver kraken]

Just replace too easy with build up

Much better

[little timber]

don't worry, season 4 skill 2 cooldown reduction will help

:)))))

[silver kraken]

They reduced it?

[little timber]

divine draw for cooldown reduction on skill 2

[silver kraken]

Oh right

[marble bolt]

no longer cooler

a coolant master

[sharp pilot]

What’s the best skill order rn

I been using s3,s2,ult,s1

[little timber]

Skill 2 is the Biggest priority

it removes the ability to use vanishing step while active

and stuns movement based skills

on top of slowing down opponents inside it

skill 1 and 3 are up to you

supernove should always be upgraded when available

[sharp pilot]

Best super start?

[silver kraken]

Skill 2

[sharp pilot]

Yeah tried that and it worked really well

[silver kraken]

Of course

[regal zealot]

Kinda feels like he is bad at the moment

Once your abilities goes on cooldown he is fragile af

[lunar briar]

Dev did his cooldown countdown ridiculous
His whole kit is based on his skills
And his every skill has heavy cooldown

They just don't wanna see him broken
Like he was in season 0 and season 1

[patent otter]

Not really, he's amazing

[regal zealot]

I feel different. I think you cant his skills freely or else you will run out of immunity and he has no other way to defense

His s2 is really strong at the moment

With s2 reduction draw it puts enemies in immense pressure

Not really effective in solo unless you got good randoms

[patent otter]

His S2 in one of the best skills in the game rn, it shuts down the best dps's and tanks, S1 has really low Cd and it enables 2 usage X encounter, S3 can be used to retreat while having I frames. Once you get defensive step he's Able to cover his Small downtime with high damage reduction. Ultimate is insanely broken I don't need to explain. His survivability quality requires thinking, for example Reading opponents patterns is important, some people are patient some not. A lot of moves are very reactable, not hard to Skil Tru. Never going too deep with him is really important, if you don't have S3 to Dash back while gaining S2 to stop the Chase it can be detrimental

Feeling like he's bad means you haven't had enough experience because he's the strongest he's ever been I feel like, back then in season 1 his S2 wasn't as useful and Caulifla was just miles better for stack environment

[regal zealot]

While I agree with most of the points s3 is not a reliable escape at all at lvl 1 and it will be lvl 1 most of the times till lvl 12.

Since most of the time dps in your time are both ranged even if you dont go deep you will still be the frontliner and escaping means putting your dps in harms way 70% of the time.

[regal zealot]

Definitely no. S1 cooler was a different beast. His s1 cd was insane and his hp was even better

He is in a good spot now but not the best he has ever been

[patent otter]

It depends on the dps's, most meta choices are self sufficient enough

(vegito bs health, uub & kefla movement)

[patent otter]

S1 cd is one second lower than it is rn

They reverted the nerfs that they applied partially in s2

[regal zealot]

Not Completly. More like buffed him up because he fell off bad

[patent otter]

If you're using idk Kale as an argument I can see it, he's just not good at helping tm8s, however most relevant characters are insanely self sufficient

[patent otter]

Cooler never fell off bad, he was top 2 tank in both season 0&1

He was top 3 in S2, top 2 in S3 and he's now currently arguable top 2-3 tank

[regal zealot]

Tbh I would say he was number 1 in season 0 & 1. Yes caulifla was amazing but cooler was doing everything except good defense

[patent otter]

Using buffs & Nerfs to downplay certain characters is not a good idea since Devs constantly buffed characters like hit, vegito

Recently buffed Bardock

Lmao

[regal zealot]

And people were justifying

3200 dmg from s1

There are very few units which does this much dmg with lvl 1 ult

[patent otter]

I think buffing Bardock ultimate is a good thing, since it was useless

HOWEVER

NERF EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM

S1 S2 HEALTH, DAMAGE REDUCTION

[regal zealot]

Could have made the dmg like 2000/2500/3200

But nah

3200

It's such a strong ult in early game now

[patent otter]

I hate Bardock

Nobody likes him

[regal zealot]

I play cell so I dont have much trouble against him

[patent otter]

But everyone plays him

[regal zealot]

Except early game when he is with kefla

But lots of mobs now so I can raise.lvl fast

[patent otter]

Yeah I play cell a lot

He's so much better this season

[regal zealot]

I have only played him since day 1

And others somewhat in between

[patent otter]

You can actually use him without selling the match?!

[regal zealot]

5% I sold match as cell

Other 95 I obliterated enemies

Mvp on mvp

[patent otter]

Wanted to send some cooler clips but you can't send videos here

[regal zealot]

Always reached S with him

[regal zealot]

Mention me in game moments one

I will check them out

It's funny that I am having most trouble with cell this season

I play super aggressive as cell and not people go back to farm a lot so there are less fights early

[patent otter]

Returning to Cooler, if you go read his patch notes they Nerfed him a lot in S2, all they did in S3 was nullifying 80% of the Nerf that's it lmao

Cooler is nasty by design

[regal zealot]

In s3 they buffed him up quite a bit iirc

Something about s1 also

Nvm you wrote the same thing

For some reason I read that as skill 3 lol

[patent otter]

I'm not joking

When I said

All they did

[regal zealot]

I know

[patent otter]

Was revert the nerfs

At 80%

But in s4

They buffed his ultimate

So now

He's basically as good as he was in S1

[regal zealot]

I like that buff

[regal zealot]

I won't go this far tbh unless its s2 reduction draw

[patent otter]

S2 cooldown reduction cooler is a demon nobody should be fighting

Like people will glaze ssj4 in that scenario

But what if SSj4 can't kick

Lol

[regal zealot]

Since s2 has a long cd if you end up using it incorrectly it puts you in major disadvantage

[patent otter]

If I have to be honest

That buff was stupid

If you get hit by cooler's ultimate rn

[regal zealot]

I think it was needed

[patent otter]

You just die no matter what

[regal zealot]

When I was using him in S3 I thought quite a lot of times and all cooler is good at is good dmg and terrible defense. So I like that they doubled on the offense and instead of trying to make his defenses better

The suck was not that strong before if I am being honest.

You could vanish away

[patent otter]

I mean

He has One of the strongest defensive gimmicks in the game

Invincibility frames on skills are insane

You can be 1vs4 and not take damage for 5 seconds if you use defensive step properly while cycling your skills in a reasonable amount of time

[regal zealot]

I was referring to tower defense

He cant defend tower at all

[patent otter]

You're right, he's not that good at that early. Later on his ultimate can lead to team wipes tough

Tower defence is mostly the tech job

[regal zealot]

Yeah but against rats he is just really bad

[patent otter]

Early to Mid game

Cuz they have the most cc

[regal zealot]

They can easily get away

If you are defending alone

[patent otter]

The counter argument is that he's not the one that should be defending, however ssj4 And Bardock are great at that so it's definitely a weaknesses

[regal zealot]

I know that but beggars cant be choosers in solo

[patent otter]

Solo Q is not a good way to judge characters 💔🦅

I was going 2-7 yesterday

Found someone in the server and went 10-2

All it takes is a good dps 💔

[regal zealot]

It gives you a good idea about the characters which are good alone and which works great in a team etc etc

[inland lantern]

This is a team game

Realistically the optimal way will always be with coordination.

Need help.

How do I play cooler

[patent otter]

Well

What do you need to know?

[inland lantern]

General gameplay advice. Cards,fight flow,skill priority.

[sharp pilot]

Cards are build up, prepare to die, defense step

[snow dome]

How does cooler proc stagger with his S2?

[hazy dagger]

If they try to vanish or use a movment skill in his S2 zone
If kefla tries to vanish then she gets staggered instead
If Uub/Super Vegito their S3/S2 respectively to dash in/dash out then they get staggered instead

[snow dome]

I see

[tranquil basin]

Best move to max out first and build with cooler? I use Too Easy, Giant Slayer, and Defense Step.

[inland lantern]

I would say build up is better

Farming is so abundant rn

I max skill 1 most of the time. Sometimes 2 if I face off against one of those movement characters

[lunar briar]

Max out s2 and S3
You can also do S1
But make sure to do S2 everytime
And use Snowball and steel skin and defence step

Because cooler deals damage

[tranquil basin]

Which moves do good damagev

[lunar briar]

S1 does damage

[tidal tundra]

lowkey i do feel half of the same way but i think i just dont play em right

like im struggling to figure out how to play consistently well, even with guides

is cooler a hard tank to play compared to the better tanks or am i just bad

[knotty halo]

super start with cooler?

[sharp pilot]

Skill 2

[regal zealot]

Depends on enemy

[true valve]

No other tanks are broken

[stone pendant]

Cooler is so much Fun

This guy is single-handandly making Tank B rank solo queue tolerable

I just feel that i have an answer to any situation and i only need to play my cards right

If you just spam skills Cooler is trash

[tepid pelican]

is fun but has 0 self sustain and only I-frames (gammas and vegito have I-frames and are not tanks lol)....is not at the same lvl as other close to inmortal tanks 🙁

[hazy dagger]

OK buffed death stopper looks insane

Hear me out now
Death chaser into a team fight and get retaliation
Drop a boosted Atomic Supernova on your enemies
Use destruction ray to get retaliation again
Use boosted death stopper to disable vanish/movement skills for 4 seconds for those who are somehow still alive

[novel ferry]

Did they buff Coolers S3? It feels so much better than the last time I played him. I felt he was already a solid pick, but after my last game he feels like a must pick lol

Was bullying everything. Even in 1v3 fights.

[hazy dagger]

No but his S2 and ult was buffed recently

[novel ferry]

sweeeet

[reef lynx]

what are his best cards?

[tepid pelican]

is it better too easy, build up or snowball for first card?? cooler doesnt farm really well does he?

[gaunt portal]

too easy is better for low health fighters, go snowball or build up

[hazy dagger]

I go build up giant slayer and defensive step
Build up and defensive step keeps me alive and giant slayer really puts the word "Atomic" in Atomic Supernova

[sage forge]

frieza and cooler really just be naming their attacks like 12 year olds

[novel ferry]

I seem to like Build Up, Steel Skin, and Wicked Warrior. WW and Retaliation do wonders on God Vegeta

But I start with Defensive Step and swap to WW after I sort myself out with skill levels.

[novel ferry]

i wish ppl would understand that Cooler has to fight to be useful.

why run mid fight and leave me or other coolers and go from a 2v2 to a 1v2. Makes no sense.

[edgy lichen]

Hey what is the best order for his abilities
I see people maxxing S2 and S1 and leaving S3 and some people do the opposite and do S2 and S3 and leave S1

I tried both but tbh, not sure still which is better
also his cards, I see people run Giant Slayer or Steel Skin
is this like a zamasu ordeal where you take Giant Slayer at the start and late game switch to steel skin ?

[reef badger]

It depends on the matchup, if I'm laning against God Goku for example I get S3 to level 2 first for the extra distance, if my DPS can dive him with me

If fighting a low survivability tank I max S1, S2 is specifically for Uub, 18 and SSJ Goku but you shouldn't even need to level it up for those characters in lane

For the cards, it also depends on the matchup, Steel Skin is nice against Zamasu (late game) and Toppo because you can nullify a lot of their damage.

I wouldn't go damage 2nd card unless you're running build up, but he's not the best at killing many NPCs fast

[winter hill]

says the one with a Raditz PFP 😭

DOUBLE SUNDAY

CYCLONE MONDAY

no offense tho Raditz is cool ngl

[sage forge]

double sunday is peak

but i get what you mean lmao

[novel ferry]

I hope they add Raditz as a Tech character. I'd love to see him and Goku banter back and forth.

[sage forge]

my dream aswell, he prob will eventually same with nappa but i dont see it anytime soon

[novel ferry]

We still running Build Up, GS, and Defensive Step?

I've kind of started using Steel Skin instead of GS. Wonder what others thoughts are.

[novel ferry]

IDK why I even try as a tank. I've been juggling B1 and A4 for a week know to only go down to almost B3 because of shiet teams.

Am I great, no, but there is only so much defense a man can do 😭

[sage forge]

giant slayer gives better carry potential, and honestly the way cooler works with him having higher damage than most tanks giant slayer is prob better

[stray fractal]

How do you pilot cooler?

[novel ferry]

Usually with the WASD buttons.

[gaunt portal]

I just had, probably, the best game on Cooler with Snowball, PTD, and Pursuer.

Dear lord, if you can get to 3 stacks, getting to 5 is cake.

They legit cannot do anything to you with the amount of dmg you output.

Also had a lane partner that was good too though. He might have allowed me to be super aggressive. Still, was fun af.

How do you guys stay alive as cooler during long fights

I feel like the longer the fight goes the weaker cooler presence become

[little timber]

he's supposed to be adding up damage with his death field and destructive laser

death field especially

he doesn't has the hp of other tanks to be up front for long like the others

[regal zealot]

I feel like if I have used up my ult and s2 i become very vulnerable as cooler

Until s2 comes back

[novel ferry]

Honestly, I think the most useful thing to learn on Cooler is when to back out. I ALWAYS wanna keep throwing hands and trading skills with ppl but you gotta know when to dip. If S3 isn't available with Retaliation I've been using it to get away.

All I really want to do is slam everyone into the ground with S3. It's so awesome. Especially feels good to grab ppl from ults with it.

stares samuel l jackson-ly at SSJ Goku and Kid Buu

[hazy dagger]

Yeah that's why I prioritize 2 > 3 > ult > 1 his S3 is very useful for a sudden dash in or dash away

[regal zealot]

I keep s3 lvl 1 and max s1 and s2

I usually use s3 to gain retaliation or dodge aoe moves

I will try s3 max

[hazy dagger]

I mainly just use S1 for that since I gotta be up close and personal in fights either way

At least with max S3 not only am I charging a good distance but I'm also invulnerable during it so I can either suddenly back off in a fight while possibly taking someone with me if their in the way or dash in a group fight get tapped for my retaliation buff use defensive step to increase my chances of living and drop my boosted atomic supernova on someone

[regal zealot]

Damn you are right, just tried s3

And i was able to survive more and slam people left and right

[regal zealot]

I guess if you dodge something from cooler immunity that dmg is not reflected on dmg recieved

Because I have been noticing my dmg recieved is not that great compared to enemy

Can cooler s2 stop picollo s3

[hazy dagger]

it should if piccolo gets high pressure applied onto him since it stops other movement/dash attacks

[regal zealot]

Nice

[regal zealot]

@hazy dagger thanks mate, that s3 tip is biggest tip I ever got about cooler

My survivability has skyrocketed and I am slamming people left and right whole match

[novel ferry]

Best skill Cooler has is his slam. Good to escape, but best when wanting to pully someone into the gound.

[icy perch]

Cooler mains. I never used the character so here is my question. Where are his I frames and how do you time it exactly?

[novel ferry]

It's as the attack is going off. You'll see the shield from solid barrier around you. If you get hit while it's "active" you get his buff, which is a bigg purple aura around him.

It's glorious to recreate the movie when charging through a 3ku's kamehameha and slamming him to the ground.

[icy perch]

So... say 3ku is doing a kame. You use a skill as its about to hit you or do you take damage then use the skill?

[novel ferry]

I don't believe so. That's kind of where his tankiness comes from, but it's only for a second at most. So if you eat more after you'll get damaged.

It's trying to get use to using the i frame at good moments to set yourself up better after.

I'm still learning when to use what to try and negate some dmg. More failing than succeeding lol. But I'll get there eventually.

[icy perch]

But when is the I frame? I guess I'm not understanding. What am I using to parry the skill? Or I wait for the passive and then? What?

[novel ferry]

I also us Snowball, PTD, and Pursuer. Not what you usually run as him.

1 second, in a game

welp, just code 0 out of it, noice.

[novel ferry]

The i frame is when you use the skill. So if you us S1, during the Eye Beam you have the i frame.

if you use S2 it's during the initial hit of the skill. S3 is during the charge.

[icy perch]

Then if you get hit during the I frame you get passive is that right?

[novel ferry]

correct

Then the next time you use a skill it buffs it for more dmg AND an additional effect.

S1 adds a DOT. S2 turns it into a pulsing DOT and stops vanish/etc with each pulse. S3 turns into the CC slam. Does decent dmg too. Ult makes there be a large burst of dmg at the end of the duration.

You can clear areas out if you use the ult with retaliation up. No one wants to be caught in it. If a DPS or Tech are in it with less than 2/3 HP they usually die. Tanks will sock it, but usually eats all their shields.

[hazy dagger]

Cooler's definitely meta now his high pressure stops kid goku's dash

[novel ferry]

Noice.

[supple bear]

I wanna learn cooler since I want to try more tank variety and aside from Zamasu and Bardock he's next on the list of someone that'd be fun to learn. What cards do yall use for him and what order do I prioritize his skills

[little timber]

build up, either 2 of the green or red cards depending on the team and defensive step

skill 2 is your main tool to shutdown mobility

skill 1 and 3 are up to you

[supple bear]

Got it fr

[novel ferry]

I play Cooler super aggressive. All red all the time. Def bites me in the rear if my laner isn't as aggressive as me.

Snowball, Prepare to Die, Pursuer is what I use. All abilities are energy but S3 and I use S3 to engage or retreat.

Try learning how to trigger retaliation regularly. It'll help you keep pressure up a lot.

[little timber]

skill 2 is physical

it applies gravity pressure

[edgy lichen]

Since Prepare to die got buffed
is it the way to go instated of Giant Slayer

[little timber]

it can be a game ender with supernova

[regal zealot]

With giantslayer you can drop it right aftwr getting retaliation with PTD you gotta wait for it to proc but it will do more dmg than giant slayer

Go with whatever you feel like during matches

[edgy lichen]

Sorry but what do you mean by drop it ?
like my skills ?

[regal zealot]

Cooler activates retaliation when he gets hit while using his skills. With giantslayer you have the advantage of dropping the powered up ult right when they are all at high hp

PTD shines if you are able to proc it while you are using your ult
