User blog comment:DivergenceKills/Flare gun VS Cricket/@comment-25673102-20141213185907

Flare. That to me is the Gun of the hour. I do not have it, but encounter it frequently. My current counter strategy I have that has worked a bit on small maps is the Dual Stake Launcher. If I can get close enough I can slow the Flare user down and then nail him. Cricket used to cause me to soil my shorts, but that has become easier to counter with Thumper, since most Cricketeers don't wear AE.
