Somehow this is the singular agent I always fnd so fun to buff alongside veto cuz Tejo is so close to being good as a competitive third recon initiator with good Penetrating and thrusting power as well (if you know you know)
Note : if you do not agree this is not objective fact. CONSTRUCTIVE discussion would be nice but this is vlr so if you're that goblin moded. I feel bad for whoever cares about you
So Version 3 of my tejo buff attempts (v2 was in one of my tell me who to buff or nerf threads, v1 was its own thread)
- Stealth Drone moves to Signature
- Guided Salvo moves off Signature
- Stealth Drone Detection Radius (from which distance will stealth drone be seen from), increased from 18m to 30m(context is the same size as a current veto crosscut tp radius)
- Stealth Drone Vision Radius decreased from 18m to 10m
- Stealth Drone Detonation Radius decreased from 16m to 8m (for context the release Clove Meddle Radius was 6m approx)
- Stealth Drone Detonation Scan no longer is affected by Solid Geometry or verticality
- Stealth Drone does not deal supression anymore but deals a Vulnerable effect for 4s on all enemies hit
- Stealth Drone within the detection radius produces an audio cue while moving to even enemies(not sure if this is already default but if it isnt its part of the buffs)
- Guided Salvo Ticks decreased from 3 to 2
- Guided Salvo damage increased from 65 inner and 50 outer to 85 inner and 70 outer
- Guided Salvo Inner radius increased from 2.5m to 3m and Outer radius increased from 4.5m to 5m
- Guided Salvo Max deploy distance decreased from 45m to 35m (context is the same as a Vyse Steel garden radius approximately)
- Guided Salvo Tick time decreased from 0.8s to 0.5s
- Special Delivery now can be bounced upto twice using the alt fire button to increase the number of bounces. (Same mechanic as sova's shocks and recon)
- Stealth Drone gets a 50s cooldown
The Hopeful logic:
The goal with this rework is to give an alternate to our current recon agents in Sova and Fade with Tejo who sacrifices some level of true site clearing recon like Sova and Fade with the Stealth Drone being such a potent tool yet easy to break as it can be shot from further away than you can see requiring more support to actually get into sites but once it does it can truly clear an amazing amount of space.
Alongside the Guided Salvo Changes designed to make their clearing potential more potent but not lasting like before where you cannot be in that position forever in an execute.
The regenerating Stealth drone means that Tejo alongside skye is the one agent who can reliably catalyse an attack into deeper space even when its used for a site exec which is what Tejo was designed to be good at.
Sure the fact that the drone is stealthed meaning it can sneak far closer will be an issue, but the decreased vision radius and detonation radius are designed to make it that if you really want to use it that effectively you're going to have to work for it. Its a weaker recon not in the sense of space clearing, but its ability to be denied and creativity level are far lower due to the nature of it being a ground based drone unlike a Sova Dart or Fade haunt using walls and roofs as throwable projectiles.
Throw me what ever feedback you have, and if there are any problem scenario's from the design of this tejo buff ill try to resolve them hopefully without removing the design
