| 1 | Nerfing Dagger might make the cloaky matchup... slightly playable? As cloaky one has tools to deal with mace (rocko, sharpshooter) but pure Dagger spam is very, very hard to deal with. | 1 | Nerfing Dagger might make the cloaky matchup... slightly playable?

                    | 5 | The fundamental balancing problem with both Dagger and Duck IMO is that they are the only high-alpha raiders (except Kodachi, but it's a special case). At least in water Duck is kind of balanced by its low range. | 5 | The fundamental balancing problem with both Dagger and Duck IMO is that they are the only high-alpha raiders (except Kodachi, but it's a special case).

                    | 7 | A thought I entertained a little while ago was to give Mace a waterjet attack similar to the Archer, rather than its current single-target beam. That would make it a considerably better riot, which would allow nerfs in other areas (range, damage) without crippling hover against raiders. If the watertank aspect were also to be implemented it might be necessary to allow the water level to be "repaired" to make hovers playable on, say, Comet Catcher. | 7 | A thought I entertained a little while ago was to give Mace a waterjet attack similar to the Archer, rather than its current single-target beam.
