Today I was walking through Atlas on my brand new LV. 4 Brute (Spines/Fire). That’s when I received a team invite from a Lv. 50 Blapper... Shen-Dragon. Shen was going to invite me to do a snow beast fight, but the snow beast disappeared. So instead, he told me he’d do a little farm for me. 30 mins later, I’m lv. 10 with 10m influence to my name. Shen proceeded to show me around his teams amazing superbase, and even offered me a spot. All of this just because he saw a low level player looking to run a couple of missions. I last played this game on live in 2012 and just re-downloaded it... it’s great to see that there are these kinds of people on the community still. I appreciate it Shen... you’re a legend.

Thanks for all the advice man! Pulled the trigger on a Rad/Sonic 💪🏻

Thanks for breaking it down! After reading through the powers, this makes complete sense. I could see some fun Fallout uses though 😂

That is a really good point, can really open up options. What are the must haves for Rad emission?

Thanks for the input! I run a Rad brute, but I’m sure it’s quite different on a Def =P

Thanks so much for taking the time to answer my questions man, I appreciate it!

Haha you CAN mod them? Nice, is it just in the create tool or option select?

Awesome man, I didn’t even think of that combo. Any powers you recommend skipping, or must haves?

Last question my dude: some people have mentioned Cold/Sonic as a very powerful Defender that doesn’t get a lot of play. What are your thoughts on cold domination and how it pairs with Sonic?

Now that you mentioned it, Cold seems like it would be a “cool” choice haha. I don’t see a lot of cold domination around

Haha that does sound like a blast 😂 Thermal paired well with Sonic? Is there a different secondary you’d recommend with Thermal as well?

Yeah, I thought about Rad/Sonic as well! I just know a ton of people rolled them, so thought maybe I’d switch it up. That is good to know about Thermal. Seems like a jack of all trades.

Oh wow! Thanks so much for this build man. It seems like if I truly wanted to invest for endgame content (as well as be able to go solo sometimes), Storm/Sonic might be the way to go. The synergy with my buddies bots is nice as well.

0.o that’s insane haha

Nice man! I’ve rolled a Dark/Dark Blaster in the past and a Demon/Dark MM. I guess I just love the aesthetics and well rounded ness of Dark =P Might switch it up with this Defender. Do you have any experience with Storm Summoning and who it would stack up with the other primaries when paired with /Sonic?

Thanks for the info man! How do you think Storm Summoning matches up with Kin/Sonic with Sonic secondary?

Any feelings on how Storm Summoning matches up to Kinetics or Sonic with Sonic secondary?

Very true! Seems like there is a lot of synergy with Sonic. I really appreciate all the advice! I’m typically only able to get on about 2 nights a week for limited time, so I know I’ll probably only be sinking hours into 1-2 heroes. Good to know I can’t really go wrong!

Solid points!!!

Solid points!

Solid points for both man. I think I MAY go with the Kin/Sonic, considering it seems it may be a bit easier to solo with, for any of the times I AM solo haha

Thanks man! Thermal and Rad could be good options as well.

Cool option! Why is that combo so good?

That is a great question man and really good point. One of them plays a Bots/Devices MM and the other a DP/Martial Blaster. He also spends some time on a TW/Fire Brute.

Great question! One runs a Bots/Devices MM and the other is a DP/Martial Blaster.
