This has traditionally been a difficulty to balance matchup. Both are late-game superstars, but the real complexity comes from the existance of phase missiles and the dependency on the advent on shields.
With rebellion advent got a potential +20% phase missile block while in friendly culture(though with how deep in harmony the last tech is, practically speaking for multiplayer you likely more often have 10%), leaving the enemy with 30-40% shield bypass, dropping to 10-20% 1 minutes after the advent player kills the last subverter(ensuring all of their buffs have run out).
That said, This thread is for discussing this matchup specifically:
Do you think the phase missile block as enough to level this previously very unbalanced matchup? If not, what else is necessary?
Has rebellion added any new complications to this matchup(in favor of either side)? Specifically which titans do you think are problematic for either side in this matchup? How do you think faction choices impacts this matchup?
I haven't really come to a a personal conclusion yet on whether or not rebellion has balanced this matchup(reserving judgement until I've seen a bit more of it). That said, I'd love to see some dicussion and other people's thoughts on how rebellion's implementations of the advent and Vasari have affected this historically volatile matchup.
