So I’m about to get an Ion and a Redeemer. What (cheap) bits are good for those weapons, and what weapons pair well with them? Thanks!

For Ion, you need minimum 2 before they even come close to being useful, and 3 to be somewhat effective and 4 to be decent. Redeemer, you need 1 to be effective, but more than that, you need to have good aim. It pairs best with Taran or Magnum, on Lancelot, Inquisitor, Leo, Golem, etc...

Like Koalabear said, you need at least 2 Ions. IMO Ions pair well with either Kumiho or Rogatka in terms of ability cooldown. |

Usefulness will of course be dependent on League...
Ion: Rogatka or Kumiho would be best. Possibly Fujin. Pair with Zeus on Lance maybe? Might be interesting on Bulg or Haechi, but it's generally inferior to Scourge.
Redeemer: Great with Magnums on Leo or with Tarans on Lanelot or Inquisitor. Redeemer is an easy one, as it pairs up nicely with Light or Medium weapons, so it's suitable on any Bot you want to use for a Close Range build. I'm running a pair on my Bulwark quite effectively.

I've done the Shockalot build and it is quite strong. Stronger in fact than the triple Ion Bulg. But, I stopped using it when I got a pair of Pulsars and moved to Dragoon/Pulsar Lance. In Expert/Masters, there's just too many stealth bots and fast bots for the Shockalot or even the TripIon build. Even Sourges have limited functionality these days.

I won’t waste resources upgrade Ion. Avengers, Dragoon look much stronger in Champions League. I will also rank Ion below Flux and Tempest.

I run an Ion with a Spark on a Gareth in Silver 1/Gold 3. Both lvl 5 and they are very effective for that level of play.

I just started running one on my hover. Scourge/Ion/Spark. Has nice play aesthetics so far. I think I'll keep levelling it up to 10.
