For all we know

 

Libra in Dance of Blood is the real one

 

The 'real' one is skirmish is actually her clone.

 

The 'clone' ones in skirmish are just failed clones

[Divine]

Or maybe in Dance of Blood she's just fresh of the operating table, and she's not yet batshit insane. This allows her to have more control over her abilities and be more powerful, while also making her less talkative.

[Tyhednus]

I got to say. I do not have one favourite hero. All of them have something I adore.

Then why would the clone be weaker? and what are failed clones? all cloning vats never fail.

I'm not saying that the Libra you see in skirmish is a clone or the "real one", but this questions are really simple to answer.

 

1) No skirmish game is considered cannon

 

2) BALANCE 

 

 

 

and what are failed clones? all cloning vats never fail.

 

 

Or do they?

What if Spooks are failed human clones that went horribly wrong?

[Handepsilon]

It can also be argued by the same reason why Yuri clones are weaker than the original. Handling Libra prime is hard enough, I don't think even Yuri has the capacity to control hundreds of her

[Shelbythetriagularsquare]

So I get it now, Libra in Skirmish is basically a balanced version, but is not a clone because she does not speak like clones.

 

Or at least I think that this is the case, I dunno.

 

And the spooks thing? Hopefully, that would really be SPOOKY, But I think it's just dogs or something, mainly due to the size, or maybe just human spare parts duct taped together? I don't think yuri is that sadistic.

[Damfoos]

I'm pretty sure Libra is THAT powerful in that mission because otherwise the whole impression of "OMFG THE SHUTTLE WITH ITS CARGO OF DOOM HAS FINALLY ARRIVED" would be ruined. Yeah, sure, she is powerful for a unit in skirmish/MP, but it is not enough to be called ultimate living super weapon of Yuri in campaign. With all these mission-specific buffs she DOES feel dangerous, and her silence adds some seriousness, focusing your attention on her power, not on her character. Also, making Libra able to take out entire bases alone turns the usual "now clear the map" objective from boring search&destroy routine into a fun and relaxing demonstration of our new hero's power, rewarding the player for all his/her efforts.

I'm pretty sure she won't be that powerful in other missions where she's supposed to appear, otherwise it will remove all the challenging aspect. Unless her arrival will happen in the very end, to help clear the map when primary objectives have been already achieved. But I won't be surprised if she would be as powerful as in normal game with some explanation like "Earth conditions affect her powers, and that's why she was much stronger in first few hours after arrival".

He grinds humans, put them as power source, experimented on their genes. He IS that sadistic

[Shelbythetriagularsquare]

Grinder is for mind controlled tanks (Though it can be used on people) and with the power and experiment thing, the Allies were also willing to go that far to win the war, Yuri has done the same, though he did mess with human DNA.

 

Also, the Yuri in mental omega is less evil than the one in YR, I say that because of the way he speaks to the Proselyte.

[CLAlstar]

>less evil
>wants to take control over the world with help of genetic mutation, poison, mind control and telekinetic lolis with mental disorder

 

Proselyte is his right hand. Do you expect him to full nuts to one of his most trusted persons?

[Shelbythetriagularsquare]

Wait.. what's a loli?

 

Fucking hell man! Children's protective services will knock on my door soon!

 

Also, Yeah... you're right.

[GuardianGI]

Alright... Back to the topic on hand...

My favourite hero is: Siegfried

Reasons being: He's a Siege Hero, while fitting my playstyle of being defensive

That sounds pretty much like any arbitrary IRL superpower in the cold war era. Maybe except for the telekinetic loli part. Maybe.

A picture is worth a thousand words so when I google something I tend to click on images first.

 

Try putting "Loli" in images.

[Solais]

Roflmao!

[Hardric62]

I voted for Volkov and Chitzkoi. I just can't forget the pleasure of clearing the entire mission in Paris with only these two ones... Though I wonder, would it be okay to put votes for him and Uragan together (assuming Volkov is indeed the basis of the Volknet IA, and Uragan's body... upgraded version of his old one)?

Yuri must've been watching too much anime :v
