The Royal Fighter is a Primary weapon introduced in the 15.0.0 update. It can be obtained from the Royale Event set that included: Royal Fighter, Royal Revolver, Royal Sniper Rifle, and Royal Ashbringer.
Description[]
It is a blue machine gun that automatically shoots blue bullets that slow down targets. This gun has excellent damage and fire rate, with a low capacity for a primary gun (due to fire rate) and above-average mobility.
Appearance[]
It appears to have royal blue as a primary color, with some parts grey colored. Some detailing is done in white and yellow, with a red trigger. It appears to be bulky from the side profile but is slim when seen in the first person. A small stock is located fairly low compared to other rifles, and two barrels in the front of the gun, taking turns firing projectiles. A sight is mounted on top of it, and the look is completed with an angled handle, slanted magazine, and a rather large foregrip.
Performance[]
This weapon automatically shoots blue bullets with instant bullet travel time. These bullets can slow down targets. Moreover, this weapon possesses a 4x zoom optic sight, which allows this weapon to fight in longer ranges.
When reloading, the player takes out the magazine and the magazine is replaced by a spare one. It has no delay mechanics.
Strategy[]
Tips[]
- Use this gun similar to the Laser Assistant and Cyborg Hands, as all three are medium to long-range machine guns with scopes.
- However, unlike these two, the Royal Fighter has a high fire rate, so it can also be used similarly to an Excalibur, but with a scope.
- This also means that it can be used similarly to the Golden Friend.
- Use this gun more often in medium to long-range maps such as Paradise Resort, Warehouse Assault, and Ant's Life.
- Aim at the head for maximum Efficiency Per Second.
- Max Primary Efficiency booster wears and Piercing Shells shortens the work.
- The reload time is extremely short, allowing you to get back into the fight immediately.
- It's advised to equip Storm Trooper Cape, Cowboy Hat and Upgraded Magazine to benefit it dramatically.
- Use the "Slow the Target" ability to maximum use.
- Note that it is not as strong as other weapon's slow down ability such as the Black Mamba or the Storm Trooper Exoskeleton.
- With proper skill, using this gun alone while having a constant supply of ammunition can win a match. It is a good idea to use Module combos with active abilities, as you can get the most out of their recharge times.
- Equipping the Turbo Charger module combination is also a good choice (unlimited ammo + increased accuracy + decreased recoil) is the perfect synergy for the gun's low capacity.
- Use the Storm Trooper Cape to speed up the killing process.
Counters[]
- With high mobility and a close-range weapon, users of these can be engaged and taken down successfully. Using a combination of the Dark Force Saber and a High Voltage is a great choice. However, if the opponent has an effective close-ranged weapon as well, the fight may become harder.
- Never attack directly at users of this weapon, as it is very easy, even at close range, for the user to grind you to pieces. Try to move in a more unpredictable fashion and hiding behind cover as you go, so when you pop up next to the user, he/she will have no time to react.
- Proceed to use a close-ranged weapon to destroy the user. Jet Tenderizer or Ultimatum is the best at doing this.
- Snipe users of this with caution. This weapon performs just as well in long-range during a close-range duel, so make sure that you are unnoticed.
- Explosives can make short work on its users.
- Any weapon that can one-shot the user like Morgana should get the job done. Don't hesitate to fire.
Recommended Maps[]
All maps except Sniper Forts and Knife Party.
Equipment Setups[]
- A Melee weapon that at least has the mobility of 85 is highly suggested such as Dark Force Saber, Katana, etc.
- In case you cannot run from a close-range weapon, equip one yourself; a Shotgun Pistol or Pizza Heater, or Reaper should do the job quite nicely.
- This is a decent all-around Primary that is quite flexible in most situations, but there are weapons with higher mobility than Royal Fighter, so you should equip a high-mobility weapon for yourself to deal with fast-moving enemies. And while this weapon can perform well in long range, it is still best to have a Sniper weapon to counter other sniper users.
