Proto (Alpha)

Tips and Trivia

 * The jet pack Proto has, along with it's dual blades, (called Astray Unit) was heavily based off the MG 184 Gundam Astray Blue Frame D Source:
 * The Overheat bar greatly limits the possibilities for Proto's escapes with his jet pack(E). Keep an eye on the Overheat bar so you can use your 'E' accordingly.
 * The definition of Proto is 'original, or the early stage.'
 * The Overheat bar no longer instantly fills up when you're hit mid-flight. Getting hit instead increases overheat considerably, but one hit is not enough to stop your flight.
 * While the Proto may be a devastating class that destroys many other classes, it can be very limited if incorrectly used, as the Overheat bar can restrict you from mobility, and generally, Protos do not have much in the ways of Defense.
 * Proto's Passive makes it so that Protos would be barely affected by blocking effects (i.e Frigost's Shield), making it an even better offensive fighter.

Strategies

 * You can easily dodge Siegmund's attacks by jumping and move backwards then press 'E'. This tactic does require the use of mouse lock so if you aren't a big fan of that then you're out of luck.
 * An easy way to play Proto would be to wait for Ethereal Blades to completely recharge, then use it, along with your other skills when you are in combat. This maximizes the damage per second, and often, it is an unbeatable strategy.Dahnoobrekinglol.png
 * Proto is one of the highest DPS (Damage Per Second) dealers in Strife, alongside Vulca, dealing up to about ~50 Damage with one skill to a Kactus man.
 * Early in the game, it's usually best to wait until you attack anyone, since your mana regenerates slowly. This will maximize your damage and the use of your abilities.

Weaknesses

 * Try not to get caught in a horrible sandstorm of Ethereal Blades or say good bye to your face, and most likely the rest of your body as it becomes Sushi.
 * The best way to beat a Proto is by stunning him, though this could prove difficult as it's passive ability helps prevent stuns.
 * Another good way to beat a Proto, if your face isn't jelly already, is to hit them as they try to flee, this method is used to prevent the usage of Proto's jetpack, enabling you to do any finishing blows.
 * Even though Proto is great at damaging, Proto lacks abilities to protect from other players. Have high defense before you fight Proto.
