Ohmg I legit agree w everything said in this video. Dude it’s like every time I try to tell my friends “silver is really good, actually!” and then they proceed to look at me like I’ve grown a second head w the “orb barely stuns” “speedradius is underwhelming” or “barrier is just bad” like it hurts my heart man, and it’s clear they don’t understand his character. Thank you for making this; you’ve done us a service!!
Didn't expect to see you here. Yeah, your freinds are crazy for thinking that the character with a spammable floaty attack and the literal red ring is bad. Pay no attention to what the other guy said. He used, "bro," so he clearly has no braincells.
i used to be like that (i was still a silver main), but now i know after a lot if games, hes really good with practice (i got targeted a lot of times bc i keep hitting my shots)
Silver is a really good character but he’s really strong if the user knows how to juke since you can boost your speed which makes exe so much easier to dodge and orb is really useful at close range since you can shoot it really fast and you can use the shield for leverage if exe is getting to close and is also useful to juke around and confuse exe I’ve literally seen so many silvers with 100+ danger time silver is actually goated
Remember for like a day his eyelids were still red and he didn’t have a tail (Another note I believe the orb may be the best long range attack in TD history)
Short cooldown, can be used mid chase, only somewhat mediocre thing is the stun duration and the hitboxes being confusing, but the orb is supposed to be used for quick rescues anyways
Honestly, after getting used to his entire moveset for a month and half I can confirm he’s up there with Knuckles, Amy and Metal Sonic. His orb is morso a crowd controller than a actual stun, being good at stopping impulse and sometimes spindash if they get stuck or you just get lucky plus being able to save people from at any time is really busted but fair. Speed Radius has to be one of the best teamwork skills in the game since you can give a boost to any amount of people around you being able to lower their chances of getting hit and increasing their chances of hitting a stun. Barrier is similar to Orb also being like a crowd controller but can be a zoning tool too. Since it can also stop any mobility skill from either EXE and combo with Orb afterwards and if used right can be used a mind game like you said in the video as that 10 seconds of mind game is really good. Just the cooldown is the only downside along with it being situational as said. (Overall Sliver is similar to Shock Eggman in terms of being a perfect midcourter and able to do a whole lot without his skills being too niche. Which pretty earns his spot as one of the best characters in game.)
@@EpictoneJuker Considering the fact that I used to main Eggman, that comparison you used made me realize why I might like playing Silver so much. Also yeah, barrier is definitely the weakest of his abilities. Maybe if it was bigger, than it would be worth the thirty second cooldown it has. By the way, did you know that orb can easily hit mutiple minions and Sonic at the same time, so it is also a crowd controller in the literal sense.
@@Looona_fan Agreed, honestly Sliver and Shock Eggman are both perfect midcourters in all cases given their options (zoning/crowd control/mobility) but yeah… Barrier does need a CD reduction since honestly you don’t see much of it in-game unless you somehow have it in time or find the perfect situation for it (and it would be even better for stopping exe mobility skills if it had a shorter CD) Also never knew that until now, always been too busy shooting the orb and looking right away to keep following a rotation I’m doing since given the pressure the game has a lot of the time but that’s still pretty helpful to know.
@@EpictoneJuker Maybe it's just me, but I feel like if it ever gets a buff, it should keep the long cooldown, but be ever so slightly bigger. Making it just a little bigger would allow it to be used in so many new places.
I used to be a silver main but now I mostly use blaze cream or shadow because every time I would play silver I would get targeted every single time for trying to support my team he is a great character for the game and in the sonic series
Dude respect for Sticking out for Silvers and also respect for Putting Sally up there, i stg im the only one in servers i see that uses sally usually and ill never understand why thats so.
I think I have an answer to that reason. A lot of people find her to be really good, but also really boring, which causes them to disregard her. I've believed for a good while that she has been the third best character in the game all the way back in 1.0. Even though she has gotten better, her play style has remained pretty similar throughout all three versions.
my ranks on silver as an actual good silver main if your playing silver dont aim orb just shoot it also since silver is a range stunner instead of waiting until they dont have their ability go ahead and shoot exe before he chases someone orb is my favorite range stun and ability speedradius i usually use stay my nearby my teammates probably better than speedboost barrier I LOVE THIS ABILITY i can literally go through the barrier while exe has to run around it some tips never aim orb like i said use barrier before sonic attacks when its sonic.exe thats all
Whenever I play this game with my sister I beg her to be Silver. He’s an amazing character, but the problem is the person playing him. A new player might not be able to understand his character and get killed quickly, but if someone who is skilled with him (like my sister or you) can save me or someone else from the exe halfway across the map. I personally can’t play Silver as well in the video, but I still love good Silver players during a match.
Your not wrong when you say Silver’s orb is very fast and something else is that most Silver mains would be looking behind them with the camera since Silver instantly turns in that direction to do orb and barrier since i am a Silver main (that MS is “Over 9000!!” (Not really, it was a bit blurry to see))
i already know silver is really good, and i don't even main him (last time i played him i sucked). i have seen silver completely shutdown exe on multiple occasions
FINALLY SOMEONE THAT KNOWS THAT SPEED RADIUS IS GOOD WITH EGGMAN! Because fun fact: Speed radius + Turret = faster than ANY ENEMY. Even SMALL EXE. Silver and eggman is actually just such a troll combo, because both of them together makes them actually OUTRUN anyone because of the speed diff. Eggman isnt bad. People really just play him bad, and poorly around him. (Though eggman needs some more tools. But he isnt as awful as everyone says.) ((Im also the legend who made the Ultimate Eggman 1.2 guide lol))
I disagree. He is just as bad as everyone says, but I also agree that he would benefit from mutiple tools. The character known for being a resourceful genius should not be stuck as a one trick pony.
I'd like to believe Sally & Silver are Top 3 survivors however unlike Sally, Silver is a character with potentially the highest skill ceiling in the game besides Eggman. Silver is genuinely a well rounded support character that simply needs the correct player to work effectively.
Skill? Im sorry but the only somewhat skill requiring thing is hiting orb mid chase, speedradius just requires a simple button press with barrier…well its barrier 💀
At the current moment in TD, Silver is quite bad to play, not because of the character, It's the game's balance's fault, it's fun, the problem is, except for SpeedRadius, all of his other skills seem to be used as a marker, nerfed and weakened on purpose. He's that kind of online game character: good for the idea, weak in the execution, high potential in case of a buff
@Looona_fan For me, in addition, Orb should have a Stun of 1.5 seconds at least, and it should give a Knockback, and be considered an offensive skill and not a Stun skill, because I don't think it's very fair for a Knuckles or an Amy to have to lose stunttime because of a silver
Not so much, a Stun of 1.5 would be enough for a silver with SpeedRadius to get a healthy distance, especially in a solo, or worse, an exe targetter And changing Stun to offensive would literally destroy the problem of silver often getting in the way of stunners, making him less of a nuisance in that regard. At least in my opinion, Silver is a good character, the problem is that he is currently very weak, a change here and there in his usability would make Silver fit better with teams (in my opinion)
Silver might lowkey be better than sally in my opinion,shield is better and more reliable as a defense but he has more flexible positional support via speed boost and barriers,any sort of speed boost is great since now eggman can slow down exes so turret speed debuf plus speed radius is a great combo(in theory) and can actually defend himself without very long cooldowns.
@@AhmadKazan-wk7ei as a Sally main I do agree. It depends on the map and the smarts of the exe with the characters needed to win. Honestly putting your idea into thought, you could get Silver, Eggman, and Metal to possibly win the game itself. Eggman could play down multiple turrets around the same spot, Metal could keep putting the exe in the turrets, and Silver could make sure Eggman and Metal outrun the exe while it is in the turrets.
Literally just starting the video already feeling it’s weird that people actually don’t like silver. Like what I thought he was great! *I see you agree with me* THATS WHAT IM SAYING/ref
Ima say it right now silver is a high A tier arguably low s tier. Orb is so spammy and you can cancel exe’s attacks and grabs, speed radius can give teammates and yourself basically a free red ring. And barrier can be a juke option or you can use to create distance between you and exe or make teammates go through it so exe can’t hit them. I like silver but sense I main Knux I don’t pick him as often, I don’t think he’s a bad character cause he’s meant to be a support so obviously he’s not gonna be the best character for stuns. But I’d think he’s pretty amazing character overall (Ima say this right now good silver players are very annoying to deal with as exe 😡)
Silver can be annoyed to deal with , as EXE , so , that explains everything , Silver is in my opinion , the 3rd best character in the game , beaten by Metal Sonic and Amy
@@Looona_fan oh sorry about that. Silver is just B+ for me endgame if I’m playing on the phone or controller I could hit the orbs just fine. It’s just a shield. I don’t understand.
@@dinoplushgames Oh, now I get what you're saying. Thanks for the clarification. Also yeah, I can understand why you put him so low. Barrier is incredibly niche and requires good reaction time. However, all it takes is a little time and skill to get better. Barrier has helped me a lot after learning the best ways/places to use it.
The best map for silver has to be hide and seek 2 since there’s less room for that map is also a good map for egg man says he can get away fast from EXE with his rocket jump just make sure you don’t have wall with it because that has happened to me a couple of times
@@polonium9921 He does have a little bit of a learning curve, since all three of his abilities have a unique purpose. However, he isn't that hard to master, so maybe you are just getting unlucky.
As a silver main, you're correct

best part about silver : his orb feels way better than the other projectiles like hammer throw , arm cannon and grapple
Remember for like a day his eyelids were still red and he didn’t have a tail

and amy still had a green tail

some tips
never aim orb like i said
use barrier before sonic attacks when its sonic.exe
