Title says it all. I am sick of puny little Ao Juns flying out of cover, doing half a million damage, and leaving back into the safety of some wall or pillar. Then if you just over to them (I got raven for this exact reason), the little turds just activate their phase shift and run away before using their ability again. I saw some guy, probably though pilot skills, run an ability, run a phase shift, go into last stand, run another phase shift, and run his ability again before dying. That is over 20 seconds of invincibility. While quantum radar can help, also keep in mind that unless you can do 200k damage in 5 seconds while not dying, it is useless. Quantum Radar is also useless regardless of anything if they have last scam. I love how the game changed from Walking War Robots to War Robots when in fact it should be called Flying 「meow」 Bots instead.

My Ao Jun is almost always good for at least one KILL. Sometimes I get a few. But it's like that with almost all of my bots. Being on the receving end of an Ao Jun attack is pretty much a death sentance. Just finished a nice brawling side battle and turn around to see an Ao Jun Launching in my direction. Half my HP is gone and it's guns are a shootin and the flames are rosting.
Ao Jun's are not all powerful, it just seems like it sometimes. Mine dies rather quickly if I land in the wrong place.

As per the other thread, Ao Jun is the best F2P/minnow bot. It will be nerfed soon but what will you transition to once it is nerfed and how will you fight leeches? It is prolific because it is the best accessible bot and not bc it is the most OP bot.
Then people wil start building falcons and then Pix will nerf that as well.
The other thing that may come into play here is that flying titan. Not sure about the implications.

You kill Ao Jun's like you kill any other tough bot...
Patience...and don't fight alone...
Tough for me because I'm a beacon capper at heart and lack patience...so I'm not the best to be speaking....
If you have covering fire from a teammate and can isolate him...you can eat his 「bum-bum」. Multiple angles of fire when the 「cotton headed ninny muggins」 lands will smoke him.
DON'T OVEREXTEND WHEN ADVANCING!!!
Wait....let someone lay support fire...make him decide between 2 targets who can kill him.
No tactic is perfect...but think for a second under cover...then move.
If you see a guy named PSYCHOPSYD....ignore him.

Aphid/Vortex/Thermite. Hit that 「dookie」bird as it lands. Death mark it too if you like. When I run my legacy hangar my Griffin's sole purpose is to make 「dookie」bird pilots miserable.

you can eat his ?bum-bum? Ummmm.....yeah... I guess I was a little colorful with that expression.... I didn't mean it literally of course...Ao Jun rump roast doesn't sound appetizing in the least... |

Amen, brother! There is not a single bot I hate in this game more than the Ao Jun. Sure, you CAN kill them, but it takes far more effort than is reasonable for something that is such an insanily powerful bot when its ability is active.
When I'm playing, I've started to keep track of where all the red AJs are, lest I die in an inglorious stream of firey vomit. It's insane how much one bot dictates the flow of battle. And people say it's not OP? Please!

And people say it's not OP? Please! Your profile is set to indicate your are in champs.....yet, Ao Jun takes battles, not Leech/aPhantom? Ao Jun is no more OP than most “meta” bots at MK2 in champs.......and not really that hard for a patient player to eliminate |

Face it. The Ao Jun and other new OP bots all do one thing in the long run. They make you into better players. After a while, you will (should) learn not to advance too fast, to peek around corners first, and not to lone wolf it too often. When I play, I ALWAYS make the assumption that there's an Ao Jun or Ares or Leech or Phantom around the corner. Ao Jun and Phantom can close a 500m gap really really fast, so it's important to know where your blues are. Even if they don't help, being close to them means there's more targets for the reds to choose from.

Just curious which Ao Jun that you are sick the most: Reg Ao Jun or DW Ao Jun I hate the Deathwing so much more lmao. 1 because I know that someone either grinded the hell out of the pass to get it or paid alot of money for it, and 2 because its weapons are further apart than on the regular Ao Jun, so it is technically better and thus harder to kill. |

I will just say everyone probably has had the opportunity to get one or two of them. If you choose not to use that is a choice. So balance is possible and my experience is most matches have a few on both sides. When there are none on the opposing side the game ends in two minutes as they are running all Leechs and Phantoms! So more Au Jun’s please!

I briefly ran Last Stand on my Ao Jun but I felt guilty about all the reds I kiilled so I moved the Last Stand to another bot.
Also I was getting bored. I don't want to spend the entire game in one bot, no matter how effective he is.

despite the leech/phantom meta, i still get games full of 「fluffernutter」ing flying stealth icons, just yesterday I was in a match where 5 of 6 dropped bots were flying stealth icons at the start. I was scerrred. Nope, i dont have one.

Ao Jun is the most common bot seen in Champions League at this moment, at least for me. So common, I run 2 bots built just to kill them. A Scourge Leech equipped with DR is my main go to. I drop as my 2nd drop. A tazer Ares would work just as good. DR, with the right pilot skills, make AJs easy.

Ao Jun is easy to kill....but easy to die from if caught unawares......besides, as Titans become even nastier, Ao Jun could be the best counter.....nerf it, Titans rule, unencumbered........
edit to add I run all my bots, in 2 hangars, with Quantum Radar......have done this a very long time.

I hate Ao Juns, too, there are just too many of them. So I equipped all my own bots with Quantum Radar just to counter that biblical plague. Especially my own Ao Juns do really a great job at reducing them.

I'm finding us randoms are facing like 3-5 red Ao Juns in flight these days. From being a rarity, they're becoming the most common bot I face now. Maybe Shieldbreaker has resulted in Ao Jun usage reaching plague proportions? I saw some guy, probably though pilot skills, run an ability, run a phase shift, go into last stand, run another phase shift, and run his ability again before dying. That is over 20 seconds of invincibility. Module Expert + Foolhardy Quartermaster. When I'm feeling mean, I bust into red home home base like that, taking a second flight to kill off the last standed / injured bots (as well as new ones) while inside. Could sometimes land after the second time with last stand still available to pluck any new bots / survivors off. It works, but it's a low blow. |

Ao Jun's my least favorite bot in the game right now, and it looks to stay that way if they don't reduce its speed. That's the biggest problem, its speed, followed by firepower, stealth is a whole other problem entirely. And that's why it's popular. Use a fast shielded bot if available with shotguns and time an attack while it hits the ground. If I time it right my Bulgasari can catch him. Or I'll plop two sets of apex with hover. Or smack him once or twice from afar with Treb Butch (if I have PC). Depends what I'm running at the time.

Used to hate AJs. Built one of my own. Now a great counter to Titans.
The thing about running AJs is the most important aspect isn’t what weapons you use or how leveled they are or what modules you have: it’s planning on where you’ll land before you even take flight.
