Strategy
Imani is easily one of the most powerful heroes in Gigantic, but she requires a player who knows how to best utilize her to unlock her true power. While on paper she is untouchable in terms of damage, she dies extremely quickly even with good support. Accordingly, as long as you keep Imani moving, snipe from different locations, and do your best to control the crowd, she's super powerful. Her [RMB/LT] SILENT SCOPE skill increases damage the more time you stayed zoomed in, which leads to some pretty dramatic damage if used properly and with someone who has good aim.
Tips and Tricks
- Once you reached at least 75% HEALTH
Special resource which represents hero's or creature's life pool, measuring for how long they are able to remain in fight.
The amount of health is varied between characters. One segment of green bar represents 500 health points. Additional to it resources are TEMPORARY HEALTH (dark green) and SHIELD (light green).
Taking DAMAGE and using some of the skills reduce health. When health bar reaches 0, hero is defeated and returned to the Airship, while creature just dies.
Health can be recovered from various sources, while being OUT OF COMBAT slowly regenerates it.health, escape as Imani has little movement.
- Preserve your STAMINA
Special resource which allows hero to sprint, dodge, jump, and utilize powerful dodge and sprint attacks.
By default all heroes have 100 points of stamina.
While SPRINT and JUMPS consume stamina gradually when player is IN COMBAT, DODGE always cost 25 points (one segment of blue bar).
Heroes OUT OF COMBAT slowly regenerate their stamina when they don't move actively.stamina as best you can, because you're going to need it as the fast moving unit of your team.
- Use [LMB/RT] AUTOBOLTS instead of [RMB/LT] SILENT SCOPE, as your scope limits your vision and movement. Only using your scope when you need the distance is a great way to make yourself more useful.
- Your attacks are all based on line of sight, so get right into the fray as soon as you can.
- Imani can be taken out really easily by assassins and other shooters, so use Frost Bolt (upgrade of [Q/LB] SPECIAL AMMO) and [E/RB] SMOKE BOMB whenever you see the threat coming.
- [F/LS+RT],[LMB/RT] KILL SHOT, FOCUS
Special resource that is accumulated and stored throughout every match, and can be used to unleash a FOCUS ABILITY, or upgrade young creatures to powerful adults.
Focus requires to build up FOCUS CHARGES (maximum 3) before it can be used. They can be accumulated by dealing damage to enemies, healing allies, taking damage, and sometimes after being defeated and sent to the Airship.Focus ability, allows you to shoot 3 massive shots so make all three hit and do not wait as well as her focus has a timer.
- [Q/LB] SPECIAL AMMO
- Special bolts could deal small area damage which could take out multiple enemies at the same time.
- BURN
Deals damage over time.Burning is super useful, and can really keep pressure on enemies over time. You can also use it to augment damage against tanks, because as they see their health moving, they're going to move further out from the center.
- [E/RB] SMOKE BOMB
- Smoke bomb actually WEAKNESS
Reduces outgoing damage by 25%.
MAJOR WEAKNESS (50%) and EXTREME WEAKNESS (75%) are more powerful.weaken enemies if made contact so use that in the heat of combat to give your team an advantage.
- JUMP
Lets hero to get up platforms, over ledges, across gaps, and away from enemies.
OUT OF COMBAT jumping is free, but after entering COMBAT it begins to consume STAMINA by portions.
When stamina bar reaches 0, hero will perform short-hops instead of jumps.
Melee Heroes also gain a special attack by using their primary attack after jumping, which consumes additional stamina, but hitting an enemy IN THE BACK will apply CRIPPLE.Jump before using the upgraded Smoke Bomb for better survivability.
