Sometimes, you gotta make your own fun

So, like many I got the Gear summon from Penny Yinn back in Faultline and while they're cute, they're pretty useless. UNLESS you're 50+1, go to Perez Park, summon them at 50+1 and let them run amuck! They started chasing anything in sight and wiping it out! 😅

Go. Hunt. Kill Skuls.

Hah! I love it!

I like bringing them out in the last mission of a Synapse. Yeah, they die quickly, but you get to be responsible for a mini rebellion against the Clockwork King.

I wonder how many clockwork gears it would take to stop the paladin from being created in the Kings Row...

I like to go to Atlas Park with my Energy/Energy blaster and use the combo of Power Boost and Power Thrust to launch Hellions towards Ms. Liberty. Fun to think of newbies  coming out of the tutorial to have Hellions landing around them.

Power Boost stopped boosting Knockback quite a while ago; your extra distance is coming entirely from being much higher level than your victims.

 

Still, it doesn't compare to the pre-ED days on Live, when you could six-slot Power Thrust for knockback, then go to a corner of AP and use Power Boost to augment your Power Thrust, and punt Hellions all the way across the zone -- this was referred to as Hellion Golf. ED put a crimp on that, and removing KB from the power effects affected by Power Boost killed the 'sport'.

On the other hand, both Sonic Thrust from Sonic Manipulation (not melee) and Ki Push from Martial Combat have lower mag KB, but pair it with a hefty repel effect for a pretty substantial yeeting:

I'm glad I'm not the only maniac that amuses themselves in this way.  😂

Hey, I  slot a knockback enhancement in Meteor, just because the flaming comets that the Nemesis Jaegers turn into as they fly away from the impact point is entertaining.
