Debating on either scouts... Sideswipe is duped so he'll have a higher overall rating than Windblade and he'll have his ability awakened. But according to iNightSkies, Windblade is the best scout but who knows if and when I'll get her duped???....
which one to rank up??

Sideswipe is much better now, but just doesn't compare to what Windblade can do.
Saying sideswipe is better doesn't make it so.
Sideswipe has power gain, and does it well.
Evade buff is really only a factor as a defender.
Has stun on s1
Has a Crit buff that is easily countered. Without it, he hits like a wet noodle.
Has a LOL nullify ability that literally never comes into play.
Has DOT burn almost as an afterthought.
Windblade has so many more tricks up her sleeve.
Multiple ways to stun, and chain stun.
DOT bleed, better than most warriors.
DOT shock on S1.
Armor pierce on s2, with a lingering buff on melee.
Immunity to ranged attacks on heavy.
Huge Crit rate unaffected by getting knocked
down, and even better when duped.
Limited power control on s1
Wayyyyyy better synergies.
There is no comparison. The only possible argument you can make is if sideswipe had a very very high Sig. His power gain becomes incredible at that point...
Even still, windblade is simply one of the best and fastest killers in the game. Both are scouts so they are equally fragile.
Hope that helps.
Ranged on bleeding opponent, stun. Dash in and try dealing 4 stacks of bleed, stun. Continue slicing the pomegranate till KO.
It's more icing on the cake and not really what you should aim for. Keep Windblade a fruit ninja. Chain stun stunt is for Mirage and IH.
to chain stun is there also. I think as good as each other, I have both duped but use WB more because of the SM synergy and she is at r4.
The reverse of that works better... Deal 4 bleed stacks to stun, then step back and fire ranged. You'll stun the opponent on the first volley, and have a chance to stun again if you keep firing. 3x chain stun before trying for it again after all the bleeds expire.
