Hangar Advice

[glossy belfry]

My current hangar is sonic fenrir, mk2 puncher seraph, mk2 razdor mk2 typhon, mk2 puncher mk2 behemoth, mk2 cudgel mk2 khepri.

I also have shell, Demeter, fafnir, mars, scorpion, siren, skyros, ravana, revenant, Erebus and harpy.

What robots and/or weapons could I change to make it more meta viable

[crisp crest]

How are you still in masters with this hangar

U could try swapping ur least favorite bot with mars

[cinder meadow]

Optimizing your modules, pilots and drones is what you need...

Your current lineup is basically perfect apart from the Typhon likely being better with Fainters, Hazards, Havocs or Maces than with Razdors (but even that is up to taste)

How can I send a screenshot of my hangar onto here

[cinder meadow]

You can't

Not until you've sent 2000 messages on the server

[glossy belfry]

Is there a way to check that?

[cinder meadow]

You've sent like 8 messages on this server

It'll take you a while xD

You should be using the Behemoth's legendary pilot on Behemoth, River Chase or Adrian Chong on Typhon (Adrian if you want to brawl with shotguns and run the Ghost pilot skill to become the fast), Bernadette on Fenrir and Victoria on Seraph. Not actually sure about the optimal Khepri pilot so I'll ping someone more knowledgeable for help with that.

@wide breach oi please help

idk who's best to put on Khepri

[glossy belfry]

Oh so it’s only 2000 msg on question and advice channel rather the entire server?

[cinder meadow]

No.

2000 messages across the entire server

[glossy belfry]

Well I’ve definitely have sent way more than 8 messages

[cinder meadow]

According to Discord you've sent exactly 9 messages on this server including this one^

Beats me.

Consult a Peacekeeper

[glossy belfry]

Ok, wouldn’t mars outperform typhon?

[cinder meadow]

They perform different roles

Although you can use Typhon for basically anything

If you want to snipe you can run Wasps on Typhon with River Chase. If you want to play it at mid to long-range while still holding your own at closer ranges, you run Fainters or Hazards, also with River Chase. If you want to play it at close range, Havocs, Maces and Igniters are all viable choices. You can run either River for burst damage or Adrian Chong with Ghost to sacrifice your ability in exchange for extreme speed.

Mars is good offensively and defensively and can use many of the same weapons as Fenrir can, but Mars trades utility in the form of the CC Typhon has for the mobility and flexibility its ability offers.

(CC is crowd control - lockdown, suppression etc. are all CC effects.)

Gotcha, I’ve also noticed ppl still using harpy/siren hmgs, do I need to start getting into that or what

[wide breach]

I use Ponchy with the on-freeze immune chips on my beak

insane damage

[glossy belfry]

These are my current drones and chips fenrir nebula cr 2x orudef, mild dmg abs, seraph paralysis suppressor 2x orudmg mild dmg abs, typhon beak 2x orudmg orudef mild dmg abs, behemoth beak 2x orudmg on dmg dealt mild dmg abs, khepri nebula cr 2x orudef mild dmg abs

[crisp crest]

Why do you love wasps so much 😔

[crisp crest]

Probably just bc it’s a common mk2 offer

[glossy belfry]

Is there a need for me to buy it or am I good with my hangar?

[crisp crest]

Ur good

You have a champs hangar

[glossy belfry]

Is mine similar to urs?

[crisp crest]

Yeah I have fenrir seraph behemoth

I’m swapping out the behemoth soon though

[glossy belfry]

With what?

[crisp crest]

Ravana

[glossy belfry]

Why the switch?

[crisp crest]

Behemoth has a hard time surviving

Big ish target with no special abilities to reduce damage

[cinder meadow]

Typhon is the only bot that can viably run them

[cinder meadow]

You need the pilot, then

With the pilot and a repair amp, Behemoth is disgustingly survivable

[cinder meadow]

They counter shields via Yang Lee, their pilot - he lets them shoot through energy, aegis and absorber shields. Not a necessity though.

[crisp crest]

nope

[cinder meadow]

Beats me, then

If it doesn't work for you it doesn't work for you, right?

It's probably a positioning issue or smth but it doesn't really matter at the end of the day, does it?

[crisp crest]

there are definitely better options though

[cinder meadow]

Depends on what your goal is. Wasps hurt like hell and have 600m range, and they have more damage per reload than Hazards or Fainters, so if you want to play peek-a-boom, Wasps aren't a bad option by any means.

[crisp crest]

no it just generally is very fragile

[cinder meadow]

How?

[crisp crest]

^

[cinder meadow]

Fenrir's only ability is to reduce damage via defence

And having an absurd amount of HP to multiply using that defence ofc

[crisp crest]

• roughly like 24k for DOT

so the dmg per burst for fainter and wasp is similar

[cinder meadow]

Behemoth's pilot does the same thing - multiplying HP using defence

[crisp crest]

but fainters have a significantly shorter reload

[cinder meadow]

Is that the damage per reload? That wiki has some odd terminology.

[crisp crest]

yep, fenrir gets much more than behemoth

[crisp crest]

yeah

for a full clip

[cinder meadow]

Yeah, but Fenrir has the equivalent of 2.5 heavy weapons of firepower and Behemoth has 4

It's not meant to be taking as many hits

For what it is, Behemoth is absurdly tanky

[cinder meadow]

btw don't forget that the Wasp isn't likely to get nerfed, while the Fainter is definitely going to be after X many months

afaik, the Fainter's a bit too strong after all

[crisp crest]

the defense points it gets dont make it tanky
