Smartlink *myth busted*!

Yeah that but i've also seen it happen at melee range.

It can happen at any time after the Lilly recieves damage, even from another enemy, as I'm sure you already know. It gets annoying when you can't hit it all the time due to this, or there's a Mil Lilly off in the distance you want to get at fast, but can't because the Ob's are just as big of a threat as the Mil is. Melee, Guns, Techs, it doesn't matter how you attack it, it still has at executing the attack. And it's really frustrating when you think you're far enough to be safe, but turns out, you're not.

with Ob Liles, once you've hit it a few times, cast Rafoie. it you press the button before it tries to paralyze you, when it stands up it will stall cast the tech and hit all the other Lilies nearby stopping them from Meiding you.

with the Smartlink, if it 'effectivteky' adds ATA does that mean you'll still get the boost if you ATA is at max?

Yes, this is why a HUcaseal with certain guns can be even more accurate than some rangers because Smartlink can effectively boost accuracy higher than your given max (it's a hidden attribute however, but very noticeable).

Interesting... Looks like the Smartlink is getting placed on my Wanted List.

My HUcaseal has max ATA, with Smartlink and V502 using a hit% Hell Raygun. It's VERY effective in Ultimate Episode 2 and 4

Smartlink is win. The ATA boost still works even if you're at max listed ATA. That whole "ATA decreases with range" thing was originally created by someone who wanted fuel for two concepts:

1. Melee is inherently superior
2. Only Rangers should use guns.

That myth they cooked up worked quite nicely.
