Raptor

[ornate aspen]

just mk2-ed my raptor and made a build on him
2x halo mk2 and 1x redeemer mk2
maxed gloria pilot with durability skills, halo grouping skill and one more i forgot lmao
using shai lvl 10- working on maxing him. brawler path with stable conduit and was wondering for some tips on how to play him well, obv much hp and the reflector means that he is quite tanky. some tips would really mean a lot, thanks 🙂

how do u mk2 smth, sorry im kinda new

[thorn matrix]

Upgrade bot to lev 12, enhance to mk2 button appears with 500 gold

to upgrade

[thorn matrix]

Well i use jump unit on mine
Unstable conduit is good too, but Shai is getting heavy nerfed, to a maximum of 35 defence points instead of the old 60. 50 dp is 33.3% damage reduction tho, so if you have brawler path maxed ull get 30 dp from there and 35 from shai
so ull be really tanky, even after the crazy nerf
Idk about the build, i haven't seen that build around, not even once
Mostly people using fengbao shifang, or mogwan Gangil, or UE weps and those do rly good

And Redeemers are getting nerfed aswell

what does mk2-ing a thing does

[thorn matrix]

Most bots now give extra effects for the specific bot which are required for survival
for example, the Teth. If you mk2 a teth, you get +100% shield durability as a special effect. And if you mk3 it, you get +10% damage bonus after a teleport.

another example, the Ochokochi. The Ochokochi initially has 20% dot reduction. At mk2, it becomes 30%, and at mk3 40% dot damage reduction

or the Raptor in this case

[grave raft]

oh nice, but that will be hard for me bc im an f2p player

[thorn matrix]

+25% durability repaired from the built in weapon of the raptor

[thorn matrix]

All my bots are mk2

and I'm f2p

can't say about the weapons though..

[thorn matrix]

Even my second hangar lol

[grave raft]

any tips on how u get a better hangar

and weapons also

[thorn matrix]

Well erm just grind
Some decent weps and bots are in Workshop
If you're in low leagues, use the workshop to get most of your weapons and robots

Save gold

Lots of gold

Silver too while you're at it

[grave raft]

why

[grave raft]

it does like 120 per day, this will take ages till i get my first robot

[thorn matrix]

You need for a lot of things
Mk2ing a bot, weapon, speeding up a robot/weapon upgrade

[thorn matrix]

it gives you 2 extra slots once you level it up a lot(the workshop) so u get 360

also, this isn't really the post to be talking about this

OP wants raptor tips

[grave raft]

i use them for upgrades sometimes and pilots and weapons occasionally

[thorn matrix]

hm ok

dm me your hangar

I'll tell feedback there

[grave raft]

alr

[radiant nebula]

i'd mk3 your raptor

weapons don't benefit half as much

[ornate aspen]

dont have the sliver and doritos yet

cuz i maxed my lio couple of days ago

mk3 maxed everything

rn im using raptor with glory halos

work well i just dont feel as tanky as i should be

idk

[radiant nebula]

because it's not mk3

also, a level 4 showdown would be cheaper and better on raptor

i'd also suggest you use gangils

for rust/crumble

as well as a nice dps weapon

[ornate aspen]

glory halo does lockdown

and does so much damage

i can do 50k from like 300m

[radiant nebula]

that's true

really, it depends what you're fighting

[ornate aspen]

facts

[radiant nebula]

in higher leagues, gangils are more useful

because it kills the ability to heal

and also has good dps

so nothing is sacrificed

halos lose their damage quickly

and reload slowly

so it's more of a burst weapon

[ornate aspen]

wym

[radiant nebula]

raptor would take its time fighting

so it wants dps

[radiant nebula]

small clip, fast firerate, slow reload
