Klukai's exponential power creep over the years

It's been an absolute sight to see so I'm going to try and paint a picture for new players

So how did we get here 

GFL

  • 416

Anyone remember when 416 was kinda shit

Don't get me wrong she had the highest modifier for a grenadier at ×15 but at 8 seconds initial cooldown she was to slow and was overkill more often than not

 This was back before we had the auto repair stat added every turn and full repair at the end of a map, so it took repair tickets or minutes/hours in the repair bay to fix any damage. Attrition really did help shape the early meta and she was too slow to mob properly 

She was quite good as a Vector buffer, though

  • MOD3

What a face lift this was

With her first skill going from ×15 > ×16 and her IC being reduced to 6 seconds mitigating her weakness 

Her new skill, Parasitic Grenade, would add the extreme AoE that is her trademark if she killed her main target and DoT effect and a debuff If she didn't 

This brought her in line with her peers at the time and would become the building blocks of her kit in all other games

  • 404 custom 416 

Not finished yet 

With personal equipment now giving set bonuses she periodically hits the highest hp enemy on the map with a weak grenade that can trigger Parasitic Grenade

Honestly, I think the equipment does more for her than the skill 

Neural Cloud 

  • Clukay

This is 100% responsible for what we have now. She took the game and broke it over her knee for a long time,

I think the best way to describe it is, You know how Klukai can wipe out an entire pvp team by clipping one doll. Like that but for all of the content in the game for months, Technically, she was weak to bosses but for a while she just didn't care 

No real complex analysis of this you just head to be there. No matter what kind of team you had, it was always the correct choice to bring Clukay

  • Arma III

This had to be a sick joke 

On top of all the other buffs it gave her she now summoned a week enemy target dummy to die to her skill in case nobody else did and start the explosion chain.

Well, I'm sure you'll experience the feeling when Klukai gets a Mod3 in a year

GFL2 

  • Klukai

Not really much I can add to here since you're all experiencing it in real time as I type 

God, I'm surprised by how much I love her mobility
