Amazingly I was able to get enough Pulsar components in today's Royale to complete 1 Pulsar. I was thinking of busting out the old Golem and adding a shredder and Ember just for fun. Anyone have any ideas? Good, bad or hilarious...

Anyone have any ideas? Good, bad or hilarious... Use it on a Korean bot with Scourge. I liked using my 1 Pulsar on the Bulg's top slot so I could lockdown enemies as I hid behind (low) cover. |

A few weeks ago I was having amazing success with a Pulsar Tulumba Pin Hover, fast and able to get unexpected angles on reds. But this was when the lockdown weapons were bugged and my level 6 Pulsar was rooting about every 3rd shot. Now it roots about every 3rd salvo. Still, I’m building a Scourge and Spark for the Hover because I think it’s so funny to troll from the air even though it’s not as effective anymore.
I think it’s best to pair range with Pulsar so you can stay 500-600m away since the rooting isn’t guaranteed. And a shield bot like Gareth or Galahad would be good so you can stand out in the open longer against energy fire while trying to root. Lancelot too if you don’t mind slow bots.

Kumiho might be fun but no Scourge yet. Closest thing would be an Ion. |

That sounds like fun and I already have all 4 of those bots. Looking at the stats of the Pulsar, it looks to be an energy equivalent of the Punisher T. Maybe I should swap one out on my Lance. Edit: Definitely not equiv to punisher T. I didn't realize it was a pew pew pew gun. It still worked fairly well but I think the Avenger is doing the work. Got a lock down twice I think, maybe 3 times. |

I would let it rot in the garage, all root chances are terrible now. If you are looking for fun I would use it on a Gary or Galahad with sparks or Gekkos.

Got a lock down twice I think, maybe 3 times. Yeah it acts more like a Molot-T but the range isn't quite as good... still, it pairs well enough with a Lance and an Avenger + Pun-T.
Yes root chances have been "nerfed" (I say fixed... as they are like they should have been... now), but at mid to high levels they at least become useful enough to warrant a space on a bot that you want to support Blues with.
I agree with Koalabear when he says that if one is to be using Glue guns post fix, it's best to go all out and have nothing but Glue Guns on that bot and support your team. I like the idea of an Ancile + Pulsar Lance pairing up with a MR bot, for example. The Lance can be the frontal sheilds and glue the potential targets down for the Dragoon/Trident bot that it's supporting... for example.
Either way, they still have uses they just aren't the broken "buy me NOW!" carrots that Pix "accidentally" let loose on the live server. I still use a couple of Glue guns but am deciding on which bot I want to consolidate them upon. We'll see.
IMO, YMMV

Maybe a Galahad with Punishers? I’ve had reasonable success with a similar loadout: Galahad with PunisherT, Punisher and Shredder. (I don’t have a pulsar.)
Perhaps a Hover for the ability to fly around locking people down? With scourge/spark maybe.

After the root gun fix, I'm not locking down as often as I used to, which just makes me feel a little surge of excitement when I DO lock down a red. A Dragoon/Pulsar Lancelot is still very effective because of the range and the energy nature of all the guns. Haechis are still my number one targets, but anything without a physical shield is fair game. It IS getting harder to run this build sometimes though, thanks to the comeback of the Trident. Seriously, Pix should have nerfed the range of this thing when they buffed it's firing mechanism!
