Second round of the Providence Coalition T5 Trainer Tournament. Another Vexor mirror match, but different fitting profiles this time around.
M3rc 9Nine applied his guidance disruptor to reduce my missile range and made an attempt to kite. However, he realized he could not out range my drones while also effectively damaging me. He changed tactics and approached with his MWD on; this along with my target painters allowed my missile damage to apply very well.
I believe the fight came down to:
1) Who had the most effective hitpoints. I won in this regard as plating/extenders tend to beat out boosters in short fights.
2) Who applied damage most effectively. I had a solid 30 seconds of damage applied before M3rc began inflicting damage.
I’d like to note that M3rc correctly mixed his drone types to negate the effectiveness of my reactive hardener (fittings are posted immediately before the fight to confirm tournament guidelines have been followed).
