My bud is one and he beats me everytime we fight. After the combat upgrade, I am feeling like a newbie with this profession. What moves should I use and in what order? Thanks.

You can't ... unless rifleman you fighting is stupid enough to let you be 5 meters away from him

Line of sight is your friend. Get behind something and make him come to you.

Use your LoS. If hes not fighting you in close quarters, you can't win. MAKE him fight you in close quarters. Run behind a wall and stay there, run inside a building. Do what it takes.

Best way to beat a rifleman.... pull out a rifle (there are several that aren't certed) and fire back once or twice, then run in a building and switch to TK and beat the crap out of him. If you run into somwhere that is very compact so he has to be right on top of you, then you should have no problem dealing damage, but its still not going to be as high as he is putting out. The downside for the rifleman is he will blow through his action quickly in a tight spot b/c he will use the harder hitting specials which can take up to 1/4 of his bar per shot (head shot in particular).

gonna point out something that may piss off alot of people . . . be careful about equipping a rifle or any non TKA weapon. Once you do . . . your range defense will drop dramatically and you'll take even more damage from the guy/gal shooting at you.


Line of Sight is still think is the best suggestion

check out this discusion in the rifleman forumn. this guy is basically just complaining about his template.


http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=rifleman&message.id=98594


it seems that every template is going to take a different tactic or build to defeat it, which is what the whole idea behind the cu was.

I pretty much agree with everyone else. Line of sight is going to help you immensely.. If you're fighting in an open plain, you're probably screwed, lol.

But use the terrain and the objects around you to your advantage. And remember... CLOSE THE DISTANCE. To be effective, you must be close if you're using a pure TK template against a pure rifleman.
