The power[]

I like the way this Vigor can catch bullets and send them back. Reminds me of Neo's power from The Matrix. ZanyDragon (talk) 04:32, December 16, 2013 (UTC)

Actually the most efficacious vigor in the game: simply upgrade salts sufficiently to keep the RTS physics active on Booker's hand, keep holding that button down as you carefully aim critical shots, and even without a shield defense, you are next to literally undefeatable... Just hold down the button, watch Handymen and Crows swipe at you harmlessly, and simultaneously dish out critical hits, top off with a RTS trap in style for trap kill - only potential issue is quantity of salts, but the economical upgrade and certain gears remove that problem...

Am I the only one who realizes this vigor every player seems to hate makes you practically invincible...?


I had the same thought, it's quite handy mostly in Clash in the Clouds, and no wonder it's the last Vigor to be unlocked in the game. I don't think most players hate it, they simply don't understand how it works and prefer flashy effects like throwing fire balls and electric arcs. Put the same players in BioShock 1, they would only use Electro Bolt, Incinerate and Winter Blast when the other Plasmids can actually be great in larger fights. Security Bullseye can be used to create lures instead of hacking everything, Enrage brings confusion and is better used on melee enemies (they prove to be more effective on long-range Splicers), Decoy can buy you precious time to refill your health and Telekinesis is incredibly powerful in the first half of the game. If you can master all Plasmids and Vigors, then you really understand the gameplay of this series. Pauolo (talk) 11:10, June 19, 2015 (UTC)

Thank you friend I am now doubting my judicial sanity less heavily (you know what I mean)... :)

I imagine I shall be considered an incendiary firebrand controversialist if I continue here, Paul, when I am not a cartoon, but am non-conformist - so mentally-divided as to things... I will stylistically improve and give myself a moniker if I encounter even-minded people such as you, helping, gratefully, ideally, understanding my eccentricity is not ill-willed and of balanced proportioned perspective overall... Individuals who threaten direct murder over video game topics I know now do exist, so I am sort of retiring for the moment, to chill out, as it were... Anyway, the main thing is Bioshock is great art and worth our efforts, that's all... Thank you for not threatening to maul and initiate mayhem upon my person, truthfully, even if I believe the Burstgun is REX BELLATOR MAXIMUS of all war-craft... :)
