Im a 945 servant of the flame and run into this particular guy every day with obby bones that does nothing but this in solo hourglass. It’s ridiculous I can defend all day but my action economy is tied up 100% of the fight guarding ladders, I cant helm I can’t cannon I can’t do anything because he runs launches out, im stuck guarding ladders until he runs out of harpoon amo. Captain falcore was absolutely right about his concerns of the introduction of this tool. In solo hourglass specifically it’s really hard to deal with.
Tired of sword and harpoon runners in hourglass
The harpoon gun strategies in solos have been an annoyance for quite a while. The shrinking circle has made it slightly more tolerable because they eventually have to fight when the circle is at its smallest... But that's assuming you make it that long without getting Rare'd beforehand.
They basically get unlimited tries with no consequences while you have to run through your blunderbomb supply and/or hope that the "necessary changes" to the blunderbuss actually work for you instead of against you.
The harpoon sword strat is oddly less annoying than the harpoon blunderbuss strat in my eyes. Having the "necessary changes" be used against you is infuriating.
I've found that just anchoring yourself is pretty effective against these types of players since their whole goal is to drive you out of the circle.
I run into this specific player that very obviously has achieved around level 300 in servants doing nothing but this, hes mastered it. Meanwhile my skill Ive invested in is naval im deadly but this guy completely goes against the spirit of hourglass and laughs at you while doing it. Im like good luck using that in last ship standing. Unfortunately im not as a great tdmer as I am at naval I hate being stuck in this infinite loop until he gets me.
