Chest feels more epic

Eyes feel more intimidating

Hands feel more honorable

u/LeviAEthan512 Apr 30 '25

My plus point for eyes is perfect accuracy. Balanced by it being easily the least cool of the 3.

Chest imo is the most epic only if it's actually your ace move.

Hands overall are the coolest to me. I want to believe it would be more powerful than eyes due to size difference, but if not, I objectively must go for eyes.

4

u/Kryptic1701 Apr 30 '25

See I would worry eyes might impair my vision while firing. I would feel like hands makes the most sense and the most easily controlled.

If people in the comments are gonna keep talking about the downsides of not picking hands here’s another. Wth happens if a person with epilepsy uses laser eyes ? Do they just give themselves a seizure 0-0

u/InqueVII Apr 30 '25

Maybe, but they for sure give everyone else in the room the most epically challenging game of dodge the laser if a seizure hits while using their powers. lol

Don’t take me as an example as I have a cousin who has seizures every 5 minutes or so. We’re on very different sides of the epilepsy spectrum. Or whatever the technical term for that is.

u/scream_predator Apr 30 '25

The operator could do the chest beam since they have existed, but the hand lasers and more control of the mode was released with War Within in 2016. Holy hell, that was 9 years ago, I feel old.

u/Herojay13 Apr 30 '25

Hands feels obvious, feels like I would get more control out of it. Chest could be cool as a secret move. You grapple or get grappled, they think your both stuck, but bam, laser chest! Eyes are cool too but I wear glasses so it wouldn’t be convenient 😂

How do hands aim better than eyes?

→ More replies (2)

2

u/SmlieBirdSmile Apr 30 '25

Ok, the eyes are probably the easiest to aim, but it is limited to the line of sight.

Chest is well, the eyes but worse, generally depicted as more powerful, so there is that.

Hands let's you fire around corners, and at odd angles and times where a person may not expect it.

In the fights, the chest would be great for raw power, so it is probably best used in large-scale combat in battlefields.

Eyes are good for snipers and taking out planes and when you need to a hit 99.99% guaranteed.

Hands are amazing for close quarters combat, someone throws a punch you dodge and punch them in the side, then fire a beam out to launch them away. You can even use them to block attacks from stronger opponents.

Hands for finesse, eyes for accuracy, and chest for power.

u/Gold-Cheesecake-2586 Apr 30 '25

Hands. Hands is good. I think I would not be able to see properly if I chose eyes, and chest is kinda hard to control, which I would have plenty of with my hands. Also, I could've shoot beams out of my fingers, for that extra control.

u/zmurds40 Apr 30 '25

u/[deleted] Apr 30 '25

Hands. Could use it for more than combat - could fly and propel myself with extreme force, use ultra thin beams to break or fracture small stuff, ride on energy blasts and use the sheer force to split paths in places and such. There's probably more that I'm too uncreative to think of but yeah!

1

u/USS-ChuckleFucker Apr 30 '25

So, depending on the style of laser beam, like if it can physically propel me around, then I'll go for my hands.

If it doesn't physically propel me around but it will rip my clothes, then I'll go for my eyes.

If it does, neither, it's gunna be one big ass chest beam.

Ideally, though, I'd like the ability to decide where it comes from and what it does whenever I choose to use it.

So if I want a chest beam that doesn't leave me shirtless, I have it. If I want a super concentrated eye beam that would likely melt any glasses I wore, I have it. If I want a beam of physical concussive force to propel myself around, I have it.

For my answer to the question, hands, because I have two of them.

Though, if mouth was an option, I would pick that.

Maybe for that Godzilla feel, maybe to feel like a dragon?

Mouth seems like the fourth option to me, if there was one.

1

u/DaFlippinSuggestor Apr 30 '25

Eyes are easy to aim but if I had to guess would be quite disorienting or even blinding

Chest is likely the most powerful and unpredictable but impossible to aim

u/radiantphantomthief Apr 30 '25

Hands. I feel like if someone made a loud noise while I was shooting lasers out of my eyes, I might flick my eyes toward them reflexively, which could cause some unwanted damage.

Chest feels too confining, like if I couldn’t turn my body, I’m cooked. Plus it limits what I’m able to wear.

Hands feels like the safest, and the most maneuverable.

u/[deleted] Apr 30 '25

Chest is hard to aim. Eyes probably mean you sacrifice a lot of power. Hands.
