So my Hydra Doc i use for TDM specifically to hunt down Spectres and Kumihos feels like it's lacking a bit, I'm thinking of doing a whole new configuration for it, and i want to know your opinions on what would work best.

Best one I think i seen used so far..... Spec with Hydras... few players can do some damage with them and still know how to hit and run.

Spectre Hydra Chydra Falcon/Inquisitor Spydra Hover (less firepower, but you can get to good locations, especially on valley.)

Hydra Spectre has the most firepower, provides a defense against red hydras, and the jump can be used to improve the firing angle.

Spydra Hover.
Best reload cooldown sync.
Get up high and lob them over walls better.
Lots of high up places to perch and don't get me started on flying in behind the spawn point on Yama.

The best? Hydra Spectre.. no contest. Yeah, but the reason i didn't put it up is because it's currently my Shocktrain platform, and i only carry 1 of each bot to force variety in my hangars, probably dumb, but it's what i do.

I'd say heachi, less fire power but immune to red hydra. Why no option for fujin BTW? Hydra Doc is good but not immune to red hydra and arty.

Haechi is basically a direct upgrade to Fujin, shield on at all times, faster (With dashing), higher health pool, and the same hardpoints. Also you gotta be more specific because i have no clue what a "Red Hydra" or an "Arty" is.

Lancelot or Inky Chimera + 2x hydra. Lance is a sturdy base, but slow Inky moves fast, but low HP
My other bot is a Leo with 3x aphid and thermite. Split the weapons in 2 series (I am on FBGR, not so easy to single fire a weapon), for better controle. Downside is hitting dashbots or britbots. The dash are hard to hit, even at stand still. The brits are hard to hit when shield is active. For the rest is the Leo a fun bot. Also good in removing ancil shields.

Spectre Hydra is probably the best.
Fury Chimara can make waves.
Indifferent about the other.s

Does Chimera do enough damage for Chim Fury to be worthwhile? Or does the firing pattern of Hydras make Lance or Inky better?

Butch with 4x Chimera.
. . . easily takes folks out before they can rage rush you. (Speaking from test server experience.)

Does the Chimera hit like a hydra so hard to evade? Or more like an Aphid which just about anything can avoid? I know it’s ballistic so good at going over things but does it have the ridiculous guidance of the hydra?

Does Chimera do enough damage for Chim Fury to be worthwhile? Or does the firing pattern of Hydras make Lance or Inky better? If you think about it like this you can calculate the fire power of every robot. A spiral clip has 3 missles. Hydra 6, chimera 9 So a hydra clip is like having 2 spirals A Chimera is like having 3.
So a butch chimera is like using 12 spirals Chimera Fuy = 9 spirals Hydra Spec = 8 spirals Chydra Quiz = 7 Haechi = 6 Leo = 6 Hover = 5 Galahad/(Rogatka if that's your sauce lol?) = same as patton 4
Between light medium and heavy, the total clip damage of each weapon is 2x that of it's predecessor At level 12 mk1 Spiral = 7.7k Hydra = 15k Chimera = 30k
So in theory, chimera fury has the most firepower but the spec wins because the chimera takes forever to unload and it has a safety jump and is the most mobile of all effective spiral bots.
If butch had a slightly shorter reload time on it's ability say 15-18 seconds it would be nearly in perfect sync with four chimeras which would be beast mode. It takes about 5 seconds to unload chimeras and 12 to reload.

DPS wise, Mk1 lvl12, 4 hydra is about 3.95K, whereas 3 Chimera is about 5.1K. Fury wins by DPS as well, but I agree for the fact to trade the 1.1K DPS for mobility and Decend.

Like the answer to most "what is the best..." questions, the stupid OP Spectre is the answer. I hate that stupid bot more than Shocktrains.

Spectre is an overplayed meme. If rather use hover and not die as soon as I unload my first volley.

I am building a Chimera Weyland right now, because of reasons I earned a Weyland from a Gold chest, etc.
Not sure how effective it would be,

Spectre is nr1 and theres no contest. Nr2 is haechi imo. I mean, it was the close range apex predator before the spectre showed up; now u play it mid range- do i have to explain? Bulgasari performs good aswell.

I think the Butch 4x Chimera can be an interesting setup for those whales out there who can afford to level up 4 new economy Chimeras... but i need to do some calculation of DPS to compare it with the second best build for homing missiles that comes to my mind (spydra).

Consider abovementioned Chimera Weyland or Chimera/Ancile Weyland. However your strategy will be much different.

At level 12 a spiral clip (all missiles) do 7k damage. Hydra does 15k Chimera does 30k So each weapon is twice as strong as the previous. Fujin is 45k per volley Butch would be 120. No comparison
Fujin is indestructible if played correctly but you dont need to stay alive the whole match unless it's TDM. But in TDM id rather do 120k per volley than 45k. Kill my targets faster means less chance of me dying to a rush or even getting rushed (The faster they lose health the less they may want to attack)

I have a Spydra Griffin in one hanger and an Vortex/Aphid Hover in the other. I will only pull the Griffin out early if there is another Hydra or Zenith chucker on the reds, other times he's the last to die. I don't care much for the build, same as most players on here, but I learned to fight fire with fire. In the NE I am seeing more and more classic gear leveled up, especially Hydras, so if I can keep my counterpart on the red side occupied with me hopefully my teammates will be able to move around more freely. The Hover works best from high ground, as it is much easier to arc the Aphid & Vortex in behind cover. Some maps have plenty of high places with cover; however, on other maps you're just waiting for the flyswatter to get you.
I wonder what a Chimera Fury, or Butch for that matter, would look like in battle.
