It takes a PvP match to show what a good Ash player can do. Shuriken bleed procs take out the ignorants that focus on shields. Smokescreen makes you nigh impossible to spot to all but the seasoned players in the heat of the match. Bladestorm just one-shots practially all those who are ill-modded or already weakened.

Of course, for PvP I'd go with a different modding than with normal PvE missions. Because everyone brings their best weapons to a PvP, it's pointless to go in tactless and guns blazing.The only ones that even stand a chance are the players who know their warframe of choice inside and out, able to use their abilities both creatively and out-of-the-box.

Rhino's ironskin is surprisingly fragile against your average gunfire, taking him out from afar is cake. Stomp doesn't work when you're in the air either, a flying kick to the face followed by a finisher kills off any average Rhino player.

Nyx is tricky, her Absord ability is deadly to the careless. But the moment she cancels it she's vulnerable for just a split-second. They can't react in time because of the cancel animation and with no damage inflicted on your part a fully charged shield can take the brunt of her impact AOE.

Loki is a matter of attrition; whover survives the other's invisiblity timespan is the winner. Obviously as an Ash you're in a huge disadvantage. I had to improve my wall running and dodging considerbly to overcome any Lokis that challenge me. Add to the fact that some Lokis are so stupidly into the 'Masterrace' BS that they believe they'd win easily with no effort. Humans think differently from AIs bitches...

Valkyr is the hardest, melee attacks almost always go in her favour so I always try to kill her as quickly as possible before she has enough energy to activate Hysteria. After that it's almost impossible to win especially if it's in a confined space like dual ring.

It's not as if Ash is king in duels, but 8 out of 10 players that go up against you always underestimate you as an Ash. I drink to the tears of such losers gladly. It's the exceptional 2 that give you a run for your money, and boy does it get intense when a season player takes you on seriously.
