[[Active camouflage]] is a particularly useful armor ability when not the king, as other players are often too preoccupied moving toward the king to notice they are being snuck up on. Once the player becomes king however, the beacon which appears above their heads makes active camo useless against all but the most inexperienced players. | [[Active camouflage]] is a particularly useful armor ability when not the king, as other players are often too preoccupied moving toward the king to notice they are being snuck up on.

Defensive armor abilities such as the [[Z-90 Photonic Coalescence Emitter/Aegis|Hardlight Shield]] and [[M2705 Regenerative Kinetic Dispersal Field|Regeneration Field]] are only of use to a king in Team Regicide where there is a possibility of assistance from team mates. In free-for-all a player using a Hardlight shield will likely find themselves shot in the back by another player, and so are only preventing themselves from shooting back. Similarly, a Regeneration field is not capable of recharging a player's shield during a concentrated attack from multiple directions. | Defensive armor abilities such as the [[Z-90 Photonic Coalescence Emitter/Aegis|Hardlight Shield]] and [[M2705 Regenerative Kinetic Dispersal Field|Regeneration Field]] are only of use to a king in Team Regicide where there is a possibility of assistance from team mates.

Arguably the best armor ability for a king is the [[Z-2500 Automated Protection Drone|Autosentry]]. Enemies attempting to close with and engage the king are unable to avoid the autosentry like they would in other gametypes. The additional fire from the autosentry can help a king kill multiple attackers before they are taken out. | Arguably the best armor ability for a king is the [[Z-2500 Automated Protection Drone|Autosentry]]. Enemies attempting to close with and engage the king are unable to avoid the autosentry like they would in other gametypes. Should they focus on the autosentry instead of the King, they open themselves up to be taken out by the King.

The [[Type-27 Responsive Holographic Form Emulator|Hologram]] is a good choice for distracting or delaying other players while moving towards the King. Due to the competition for points in Regicide, most players would instead attack the hologram in hopes of getting a surprise attack. While they are distracted by the hologram, attack them from their backs, or get to the King first. | The [[Type-27 Responsive Holographic Form Emulator|Hologram]] is a good choice for distracting or delaying other players while moving towards the King.

Tactical Packages and Support Upgrades are more flexible, depending on the situation. However, several are (while not necessarily must-haves) certainly useful. | |||
Mobility's infinite sprint is a wonderful tool for charging down the King, or running away as the King. Dexterity's increased reload time means that you spend a shorter intervul vulnerable while you reload, which is often the downfall of players in Regicide as they are gunned down while reloading after a kill. Ammo is an especially useful tool for the King, who will often find themselves running low on ammunition should they get on a streak. While picking up an enemies dropped weapon is easier, simply having more ammo to start with (and being able to carry more) is much easier. | |||
