YOU CAN GET THIS????

Just a random thought post. Please keep in mind that Waymaker is an awesome titan with the potential to become a top tier f2p titan, but this is literally just because the hunter effect is OP. The design behind Waymaker is a bit disappointing for three main reasons:

1. It has awful stats. Low firepower and speed can be made up for with Hunter stacks, but the durability is just awful… so much so that it can *almost* justify running the defense specialization (THAT IS NOT TO SAY THAT IT SHOULD, JUST THAT IT WOULD BE MUCH LESS OF A MISTAKE TO DO SO THAN ON OTHER TITANS). Also, since the stats are so awful at base, you really want to scale up Waymaker with hunter, meaning it is quite weak early in the match.
2. The Hunter effect that it gives is the same as Pathfinder. The idea here is “why run pathfinder as your entire titan when you could just run pathfinder the robot and do basically the same thing?” though I will note that one slight benefit to Waymaker’s Hunter is that it has much stronger grey healing, so if you really wanted a reason, this would be it. Waymaker is a better healer than pathfinder but unfortunately not a better buffer.
3. The blind guard ability SUCKS. This is what I’ll be going over in this post. Blindguard is a weak and unreliable form of defense that can be countered by most motherships. It also doesn’t really last all too long, and the pilot giving it another charge is pretty much useless because it’s bottlenecked by the blind immunity that people get after being blinded.

So, here’s two ability concepts for Waymaker that way make may make it a better titan.

Concept one: Evasive ability.

Something missing in Waymaker’s kit is movement. To be fair, not every titan needs a movement ability, but since we’re trying to replace a defensive ability, why not try to replace it with a disengage tool?

My idea for an evasive ability would be something kind of unique to War Robots but recognizable for those who have played other games before: Rewind. The most popular example is tracer from Fortnite Overwatch. The rewind ability tracks your robot’s position 15 seconds ago at all times, and when activated, it blinks you back to that position. Additionally, it restores you to the state you were in when you were in that position, so it can heal you and cleanse debuffs, but it can also damage you (if you were high on HP 15 seconds ago you are healed to that amount, but if you are were low then you’re damaged to that amount). That being said, the pilot skill that used to give another charge of blind guard could prevent it from damaging you, causing it to always heal and cleanse you when used.

Concept two: Additional support ability.

Another option is to go the direction that they went with Nodens and give it two support abilities, solidifying it as a backliner support. Seeing as Waymaker copied Pathfinder for its first ability, why not copy another support bot for the second?

My idea for a second support ability would be a “super link” of sorts. This would combine all the benefits of a Lio link, a Nuo link, and Khepri link into one single ally (can’t link three like with Nodens) and also add some extra tricks. Something like 50% damage, 250 defense points, 15kph speed, constant heals, and a charge of “Counter EMP” which does exactly what you think it does. Additionally, the pilot skill that once gave Blindguard an extra charge would now provide the ally with DMI instead. To balance this out, Waymaker receives none of these buffs (unlike how most support bots also buff themselves when using this type of ability).

What do you guys think?

In my past 20 games, there is NOT a single match where there is no enemy shoggoth equipped with its weapons. Any tips to counter it? Im f2p and tried to burst it with scorpion but thw shield is too thick, even with vector I got lockdowned all of the time. Even at titan phase I can't reach it with my princeps with vincere. Or should I just quit lol

Currently have 60M silver, 500Pt and basically no gold.

I just got back to the game after a long time (Got really lucky with datapads and black-market lol, and bought the Lio mk2 + nanea mk2 bundle), not sure what to do now.

I have 1000 D-gems lying around too

>!best builds for f2p I need probably wepons I can get on workshop is nice!<

Pathfinder with hazerds and it's pilot and drone

Imje with music and elox if they stay the same as they are right now and kestrel with mau ling

Lio* with nucloun family and showdown

Loki with kestral

Ravana with maces and seeker

Minos with evros

Pls tell me what I need to change

*Is Lio good as a solo player? Am open to suggestions I do like minos though and will keep it and upgrade something better later

We need a resources chest for 100 or 1000 keys. This would be helpful in farming ag and gold . We really need this update. Up vote this because when the numbers are enough pixonic will need to listen to this

With the new Lumen and Vulcan meta taking over, I am trying to figure out some smart counters without spending to chase the new gear. The recent rebalance completely destroyed my Hippo/Kroko plans, so most of my weapons are sitting at mid-MK1.

First, I am looking at my Anaksor. Has anyone had success running Smuta/Razdor to counter Vulcan? Since Lumens bend around corners but still need a soft lock, I am thinking I can hide behind tall cover and safely arc HMGs over the top, preventing the Vulcan from getting the damage it needs to evolve.

Second, for brawling, I'd prefer a Vector build that works in both PvP and Extermination mode. (Note: I already run a Flame Vector which is likely facing a nerf soon, so I definitely do not want to build a second one!) I currently have Shatter/Splinter, but I am thinking about pivoting to Mace/Cudgel for that localized AoE blast effect against spiders. Is that the smarter move?

Finally, my Ammit is dying way too fast after the Defensive Absorber nerf. I am considering benching it and digging into my inventory. I have an MK2 Ravana (thinking Transcendence can wipe off the Lumen Thermal Breach stacks) and a Pathfinder (heard Track is amazing for focusing HVTs).

What is everyone doing with Ammit these days, and which of those inventory options should I slot in? Also sitting on Typhon, Fenrir, Shenlou, Lynx, and Curie with their legendary pilots if those are better!

my mk3 max lvl pilot ammit is killed in 4 second, max lvl titan and its pilot killed in like 5 second, all are killed by teth emp, how to make that build

I was going through the F2P guide and noticed how F2P weapon options seem really limited. It’s basically just the Growler family, the Nucleon family, and the Hazard family. I was wondering if there really were no other usable weapons (e.g. the Nanea family?). Not just because it gets boring, but also since focusing on such a limited selection makes hangars extremely vulnerable to surprise nerfs (as seen from the ice rockets, ice noodles, Hussar weapons, Redeemer, etc.).

Could anyone suggest any solid alternatives for these weapons? Even if they’re slightly worse, I’d still love to have some variety. For reference, my baby account currently runs a Pathfinder, Imugi, Nuo, Dux, and Bagliore, 3 of which are all using the Hazard weapons (Pathfinder, Nuo, Bagliore).

Is it still worth using the Kroko/Hippo​ on the Ammit (both are around Mk1 Level 6—is it worth upgrading them)? Or would it be better to switch to the arm, for example?
