Ok guys, listen; I want to talk about Ion vs Northstar. Ion destroys Northstar in every aspect. Laser core is better than flight core. Northstars sniper has slow bullet velocity. She has no defense *tether sucks and you know it*. Her little rocket makes me tickle as I walk away from its aoe. Listen; I wish she was better, but she definitely needs a buff big time!
Meanwhile; Ion has amazing defense in vortex shield. Super fast travel time on the shoulder shot sniper. Splitter does decent damage after you fire your two shoulder shots. And laser core is amazing. Sure trip-wire sucks but who cares? I like to throw them down near door ways and watch pilots stare at them and explode shortly later.
I challenge anyone to convince me that Northstar is better than Ion. Share any stories or clips with me. Let's get the ball rolling. Ion, Ronin, Legion, Scorch are elite. Tone and Northstar? Meh.

Not really. Maybe for goosing but that laser doesn't compare in damage. Its only pro is the speed. You can hold the rail gun charged while in cover and dash in and out of cover where as the laser has a charge time before it auto fires. Both have their pros and cons. If it was titanfall 1 style where you could mix all the options for titans than the laser wouldn't matter because Northstars main draw back is its lack of a defensive ability and the weakest chasis. The railgun was beast with a particle wall and atlas chasis. Combined with that damage core and you could damn near one shot titans at full charge.
