Skryos Question (Ball mode and lock on)

Hi guys! I wanted to ask someone with a Skyros if they've tested lock on weapons with it. Things like the 350 or 600m homing missiles, Zeus type weapon, Scourge family, etc.

On that note, Skyros has an issue with getting exploded when it comes out of ball mode, but from what I've seen, it is exceptionally mobile which seems perfect for a cover dump using missiles or one tap zapper family.

Even adrian seemed to struggle (anticontrol also looks like a must for this thing, lol) to do damage with it using maxed everything on skyros, but i didn't see him try a build where he could roll into cover quickly, launch missiles, then go back ball. In the games I watched, he had a LOT of time to safely do this.

Thoughts? I know the missiles and zappers aren't top tier, but they CAN deliver fast damage in one go from safe locations (behind cover and outside brawl range) in the current meta

Edit: oh, my actual question, in ball mode, do lock on weapons lock or do you have to come out of ball mode to lock on? The cooldown on unballing is almost identical to the base lock on time, right?
