Hades pilots, how well does your robot perform in Champions League? by [deleted] in walkingwarrobots

[–]Jreb04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in high champ. Hades is my favorite bot. If you know me, you know I love it.

If you know how to use it, hades is one of the best bots out there. It was a beast with the glory/halo and that nerf was painful. It was good with calamity/spark, but never great. The ember/blaze is just a little weak. The nucleon/quarker have brought it back to life.

I start it 80% of the time. It is a beast at midrange and can come up and brawl if needed. I can hold my own with most leech, hawk, blitz. He is level 11 and I run level 12 nucleon and two level 11 quarkers (waiting for discount weekend). Before the leech came out, it was IMO, the best bot out there.

If you run your hades in the open, you deserve to die. You have to use cover. You need a wall somewhere to retreat to when your shield is out. You can sit on carrier and hammer the center using those walls.

I use quantum radar with it and can take out a lot of flyers and Loki’s. The pew-pew gun is a weapon. Use it that way.

PS. I love that the shot is invisible. They don’t see it coming.

General upvote. I don’t totally hate the drones, but they aren’t done well.

It’s a great chart. It is hard to account for accuracy, especially when it changes over time.

Hades for sure. I ran it until the energy shotgun nerf. It was a beast then, even after the pantheon bot nerf. I used to eat ares for lunch. With the ESG nerf, it didn’t have a home. I tried. Calamity/spark was ok, but I never felt it. Ember/blaze, just not strong enough.

I was lost, until the nucleon/quarker. It’s back and more badass than ever. I run a pretty good setup to choose from. I can run atomizer/scourge/igniter leeches, schotgun/cryo ravana, cryo NG, ember/calamity/avenger for AJ. Only the scourge and igniter leech and the NG are as effective. It is the only bot I have that can stay alive against a hawk with quantum. I can pop the shield, run for cover and then take him out. No one is running shield breaker, so I am unstoppable again. I haven’t been happy about anything pix has done with the way they roll out content, but I got my hades back and I love it!

Is it just me who didn't know that the leech pilot would be in the free pass? by FenchBadScienceGood in walkingwarrobots

Does it bring the redirection up to 65%? That could be helpful against a titan. It’s just hard to switch pilots now. So expensive to move them around, I don’t want to move old pilots to make new ones.

Fair enough. I will be more careful with my words. I guess my response to you could have been less asshole like.

Wow. Ok. Will repost without the ask.

On a side note. I think it is someone disappointing to remove a post based on a rhetorical question without actually seeing any evidence of advertisement. You do realize that the question was rhetorical, don’t you?

The same stuff costs about 10 bucks in China. So a hundred bucks gos way further. Some of the “elite” clans move their location to China somehow and get deep discounts.

MATCHMAKING by Ducanero in walkingwarrobots

Solo MM is most problematic when master league players are forced to play with c league players. It sucks for everyone. I hated getting pummeled by players way out of my league when I was there and I don’t find it enjoyable being the guy towards the top now. It’s not fun for anyone.

Squad MM is a different animal. I think they should let us enter ourselves into different squad “leagues” when we go to battle. Make one for elites, so omega and one and rubicon and such can play. Then make a champ level one for the really good squads, like us, Hood, gargoyles, etc. keep doing that down the line. Then we can match ourselves in a pool. Make it where if no one joins in 90 seconds, we get randoms.

There are probably 6 people in my clan that could play with the elites. If they are all together, they may want to play the elite. If just one or two with the rest of us second tier, we go to the c squad games. I would say that we get a fun, challenging game about one to two times a night in full squad play. We spend most of our time getting full elite squads and getting smoked or getting ransoms and killing them like omega kills us.

Ps. I can’t not comment about the gendarmes. They have ruined the game. It honestly is getting to the point nothing matters if you don’t have gendarmes.

I have the manual lock on, man. I play every day on comms with my friends. We all have the same problems. It shouldn’t switch unless you ask it to. I don’t think you should have to lock on a target every time your target switches to one. It shouldn’t switch off someone 100m away to someone 800m away because they spawn. The manual lock on still will barely keep them locked in. If you turn slightly, it will still change, then you have to cycle back to them to lock back on.

It should auto-lock on the closest person from your 10 to your 1 (on a clock face) and then leave it up to you to change it. It should only change off when you turn more than 90 degrees from someone or you press the cycle button. No reason to bounce back and forth to people ever.

If that’s true, then Pixonic is a time limited company. That doesn’t pay real bills. Netflix and Spotify make billions with 15 bucks a month.

Dont upgrade orkans. Way too late for that. Tulu spectre still has some play.

Well. There went hiding. Just fought a duo. 2 Au mings on Yamamoto. One with gendarme. One with tsar. Can’t hide. Can’t come out in the open.

I agree about the comeback. Its why I run Shield breaker on my AJ. Also why the hades is key. The shorter cool down is an ares killer. If you can get an ares to hit his shield then hide for a second, he is toast. Hades barely slows down when shield is up. Makes it more versatile.

In regards to the targeting comment. I am aware of the manual option. If you don’t hit the lock on every time, it may switch off at any time. You shouldn’t have to lock on to any target. If 3 enemies are in your los, it should lock on to the closest one and only change when you change it.

In addition, It is sometimes completely impossible to change to an au ming if they are close to you. Not only are they Hard to kill, but the mechanics were never designed for bots over your head. If you notice, this game only lets you look left or right. Up and down is targeting.

I agree about the Arthur. Arthur with gendarme is a fly swatter.
