does locust damage stack

[solid dock]

Stacks.
The DoT of 4 locust is way bigger than only 1 locust.
Same thing with incenerator

is locust still worth playing ?

[solid dock]

Kinda, 4 locust with the pilot hability "chemical hazard" is pretty solid.
If you have Sora Sing, the ricochet make it way better

But if you use a build with only 3 locust... i don't think that worth it

Tbh, Locust depends a lot of the pilot abilities, so if you don't have any pilot with "chemical hazard" don't run 4 locust

i was thinking about a mutli dot effect build like incinerator 2 locust and a harpy torso

[solid dock]

Would be to fragile.
The harpy torso it has pretty low HP

And the weight of 2 incenerator and 1 locust, would lock you to have really slow robot

[knotty inlet]

okay i see

[solid dock]

You can use a Ares with 4 locust.
Or a purifier with 3 incenerator, those two center the damage on the DoT and are pretty solid robots

[knotty inlet]

okay i used to play a harpy with 3 locust before the nerf and it was like 1 hit and half the hp is drained by the dot i could 1 hit, hide 1 hit, hide...

[solid dock]

The harpy is still pretty good tough, but with only 3 locust?
Idk

[knotty inlet]

okay thanks for that so the best dot build is ares 4X locust?

[solid dock]

Yup, you can try a Varangian with 4X locust too.
Less atack but a better defense.

Both options are pretty good

Choose the one who adapts better to your playstile

[knotty inlet]

okay ! ty

[fast sigil]

feel free to nerd react me but the question isnt specific enough

the way it works right now you can have up to 1 stack on each enemy module, per locust that hits it

[weary raven]

thanks for the info, I ended up making a 4x locust/ raven bot

[magic tapir]

I run this.. one of my favourite builds.. it’s just fun.. but I reckon Sora is a must

looks like I replied to wrong post.. I meant the harpy, 2 locust and an incinerator build

[knotty inlet]

It still works?

Because i've done some test and locust seems to do like 600 dmg sec with dot effect

Back in time it was like 4000 sec
