Trust me, it's just another solar tree, it takes too long to get your money back and it's way too expensive. Not to mention if you buy it at the beginning you will be way behind in upgrades.

Everyone seems to agree that Clunk is pretty solid as a character. I won't dispute that.

So here's the main question, and the point I'd really like to drive home:


Could Clunk use 1 minor buff? Just one. A small tweak.

This is assuming the next patch doesn't bring a significant nerf to Lonestar, Leon, and Froggy, who are probably the most represented characters right now (on Xbox at least). Tone them down a tad and Clunk doesn't really need anything.

I've found with the speed and homing, Clunk's missiles are awesome for wrecking havok. They mop up the smaller bots, and cause players to scatter to avoid them. I've see the DPS calculations, but they don't match up to my experience playing him. He's also a turret wrecker with them and some level of missile upgrades. His range is long enough he can take advantage of drones getting close to the turret, and he can take a pounding so he can take some more out.

His biggest problem getting into late game is that his damage upgrades either cost too much, or don't scale well enough. His bite damage, while huge to start with, is comparable to other Nauts when fully upgraded (unless you take both damage upgrades, but even then, so could the other Nauts), and his SD kicks his butt as well as the enemies when it's upgraded. His regular attack has issues because it doesn't scale evenly either (the "missile queue" has him cycle though each missile) unlike any other Naut.

Now, that doesn't mean he can't be effective, but he has issues.

Clunk's a beast by end game. But only in the right hands.

He gets 2 75 hp health stacks along with the ones the regular champs get, thats about +150 along with his extra starting health, its fine.
Early game survivability is OP like any pure build is with any char, in the end you gotta start going offensive (like most offensive characters start to go defensive after there core items) His SD still hits hard, and he can root (most people underestimate this for some reason, its guaranteed so many kills by * froggy g's and leons

By the end of the game your tank enough for people to ignore you, and thats about all you need to not die unless their AoE heavy, even then you have lifesteal (hopefully either upgraded damage/lifesteal or AoE for more health)
