Hi all, so I can't decide what to focus on next.
Current hangar is orkan Haechi, scurgasari, gust pursuer, orkan spec, and an ember taran inquisitor. Everything is 12 except the quiz.... The bot is mk2 lv l 12. Not been playing that long... Xmas will be a year. Put very little $ into the game... 30 or 40 bucks, and haven't spent anything since NE. So I do not have many viable leveled extra weapons.
If I go blitz, the fastest way is to replace pursuer or i would have to level 4 weapons too. Would put gusts on pureed and either level another gust or halo
If I go mender, I would replace either haechi or spec. Take orks from that to quiz, and put the taran on mende r with 2 mags.
I could also make it a shotty build, but would need to level halo and a OE gust.
Was probably going to fiddle around with both at lv 6, but was curious what others experiences and opinions are? I think both bots are going to be dominate as they are.
Thanks for your thoughts.... Good hunting
Ps.... First pole, and a fail.

IMO Blitz looks too slow for my tastes. I can deal with a glass canon, but not a turtlesque glass canon.
I have a mender but too low to use much but I can see it having a place.

Your current hanger has mostly brawling setups. If this is an indication of your play style I might make two observations.
1) I find the blitz to be similar in play style to the pursuer, which you already have. The blitz is basically a variation on the light skirmish theme, merely trading out stealth (and speed) for the ageis shield and suppression feature.
If you want to stick with your current hanger type and go with a light, brawling capable bot, the blitz will fit right in. Although, it may feel too familiar to the pursuer.
2) Both the mender and blitz fall into the "skavenger" game play mindset, meaning you must roam the field making damage were you can find it while keeping in the shadow of your team's hitters. The mender differs obviously in that it's supporting contribution is restoring health to your team.
My point is that both bots offer incredible advantages to your team, in exchange for a specifically team oriented play style.
My suggestion would be to go with the mender if you wish to diversify your hanger to include a team specific support bot, but go with the blitz if you wish to have a more damage specific support bot.
Best of luck!

Both are very good. It really depends on which role you want to play - hp regenerator, or damage suppressor (& Rooter if using root weps).

thanks for the incite.so.far all... I was leaning to Blitz this.morning, but now leaning to mender even tho that bot tends to be.targeted, because of its ability.
Good hunting

Blitz is slow without ability. I actually think that Pursuer is a better bot.
Mender is far more forgiving and easier to manage than Blitz.

I have both now and I'm shocked how pursuer-like the mender can play. If I can get set up in the right spot I can use my blitz and mender in FFA and finish 1-2 with just those bots.
I love both but a previous response is right. The mender is much easier to get acclimated to and play well with than the blitz
