I've only played Relic once and I think its an alright map. I certainly like it more than Colony. God I ****ing hate Colony. There's always that asshole who snipes in the tower with a G2 and whenever you try to deal with them you get executed from behind from any one of these asinine buildings.

Monarch is pretty good. Although its really annoying to deal with like three of them at the same time and a Ronin Prime just goes in for the execution. I have never been too good with Laser Shot so the same goes with Energy Siphon, I always whiff my shots super hard. The XO16A2 is extremely powerful against Titans though. You can easily chew through a Northstar and swoop in for the execution but against Ronin you have to be more careful. You can sorta evade Ronin's attacks and phase dashes but you still will take some damage. I feel Maelstrom will be pretty handy against Ronin if you have Counter Ready as you can just bait him into your electric smoke and shoot the **** out of him then execute. However the more I play as Monarch the more I've come to hate Tone. As a Northstar you can sorta cheese tone using clever positioning and Cluster Missile and hopefully she'll never land 3 hits on you. As Monarch, you really can only rely on flanking Tone but even then she can still turn around and paint you very quickly. It makes fighting Tone a lot more difficult and time consuming as you don't have any way to manipulate the Tone into moving out from behind her Particle Wall.

I guess Volt is slightly better, it doesn't suck at close range now. I really don't see much difference with the R-97 since my tactic has always been to bum-rush people with gun runner instead of sniping them which makes 0 sense with a SMG.

Haven't seen a single Ion since the update so that says a lot.
