Firefall Assault Battleframe Build PvE/AoE

Firefall Assault Battleframe Build

PvE/AoE Build

In this build you will be focusing on the skill Bombs Away, which is exactly how it sounds, an AoE Bombing ability from above. Although Bombs Away appears at first to do low damage, it is doing area of effect damage which is great for groups of enemies. The Assault Battleframe already has AoE abilities with his Plasma Cannon and Crater ability, making this a welcome addition to the combo.

This build is constrained and you won't be able to take some of the skills you may normally like to equip though. This is a specialty build that revolves around the single trick of AoE damage. For Ores you will want to use Ferrite 772  for max capacity on everything and make sure to get as many bombs as possible.

Firefall Assault Battle Frame Build How To:

All of the items and equipment for this Firefall Assault Battleframe Build have been chosen to maximize AoE damage by using Bombs Away. Pretty much if you are single target you will be using the SMG to do most of your damage since it is a powerful weapon. When you hop around gathering targets into groups you can start shooting down Plasma in conjunction with Bombs Away. This will be enough to kill off a lot of mobs since you will be hopping around dropping it regularly, but in case of a nice cluster you can pepper in Crater for that additional damage.

The key with this Assault Battleframe build is to hop around in small patterns to drop off bombs on groups of enemies and realize that this build is for groups, not individual enemies. It's particularly nice in groups with Thumpers since you are able to utilize all of your AoE for the elimination of the incoming enemies.

Assault Battleframes

Currently Assault Battleframes are one of the favorites in Firefall because of their versatility and strength. While all frames are viable and Firefall is more about individual skill, Assault Battleframes have a decent HP pool, high damage, and high mobility, making them a powerful dps style frame.

Assault Battleframe:

HP: 1500

Weapon:

Plasma Cannon - (About 500 Damage) The Plasma cannon has a clip size of six shots. The damage is high and capable of three shotting most people and has a splash effect. As a result many players jump and fire down to similar to rocket launchers in other FPS style games. The shot can be easily avoided at long range because of its travel speed but from close/mid range it becomes more difficult. The Assault Battleframes token weapon also has other abilities.

Abilities:

Crater: This ability allows your Assault Battleframe to crash down causing AoE damage to anybody you land on.

Afterburner: Launches the Assault Battleframe in whatever direction you are facing. Slight damage on collision but more of an escape or chase skill.

Missile Shot: Makes next shot high velocity, use in conjunction with Plasma Nova for any hope of landing Plasma Nova.
