Woah, woah, woah! Stop there for a sec, bro! I mean, Halos and Exodus are great weapons, but think about it for a while. Halo is a shotgun that locks down enemies, as well as bypassing energy barriers. What could benefit from these traits! Yup, Ember! If you have an Ember, put it onto your Mercury when you can. I’ll just point the facts... Halo and Ember are both energy weapons, but Ember scorches through physical shields too. Ember has a range of 350m. Halo has a much further maximum range, however being a shotgun its damage is also great at 350m too. Halo can lockdown enemies from afar, letting Mercury close in and kill. Lockdown lets Ember bypass the issue of its slow projectile speed, as well as preventing Korean bots from running away from its Helldive. If you really want to use Exodus-Halo, I’d still support it. Exodus has slow projectile speed (considering the speed of the current meta), lockdown again making this problem non-existent. However, when you stomp on an enemy like Bulwark, you’re pretty much screwed. Your stomp will deal some damage, however its advanced defence system will deal with your Exodus and Halos, then trash you with two heavy slots. Overall, Ember-Halo offers more tactical diversity, you don’t have to pick your targets so carefully and is much more fun to use. But, of course, I don’t have a Mercury so move on as you wish XD
