Right, so if it's an enemy portal, then you are going to need to tear down the resonators, but the first thing you should do is take a good long look at the resonators in place.What level are you, what level equipment do you have, and what level are the resonators? Level one resonators can be torn apart easily, but if you're like level three and looking at level eight resonators, this isn't going to go down easily. Sure, you can still try, but it might not be worth your time. Remember, when using offensive weapons on resonators, hold down the fire button for a second to watch a closing circle. Let go when it's smallest to do big damage.
