He makes the Retribution shield on Nemesis last 1 second longer than normal when maxed, but does he shoot more rockets as well? I can't tell.

From what I have seen Wife is Pissed it is only the retribution shield.
I have not noticed an increase in the rockets.

That’s the dumb thing about Soren: his ability is not a straight boost since you end up doing less Retribution damage overall.

Right. His "Special Ability" takes up an otherwise useful pilot skill slot. Go with either a regular pilot or Adrian.

His special ability is that he gets to look like the most anime of all the pilots.

Honestly Adrian is better, the best pilot you can use except for some suited to specific bots, like olga is best for phantom, cormac de vos is best for falcon, things like that.

Well, 2 extra sec (i.e. 4 sec vs 2 sec on its raw form) on the damage absorption phase is not bad, considering that one can double its retribution damage. That being said, 4 sec is still a very small time window compared to Ares' 8 sec, and the chances that it will be fired upon so that the retribution will be fully charged is too small, I guess. Not a complete waste of a pilot skill, there are worse legendary skills out there, imo.
P.S. I have the bot and the pilot, but not have the resources to upgrade it, so no plans to run it in immediate future.

The 25% longer ability from the pilot skill means that it lasts 5 seconds. I'm not sure where you got your numbers from. |

Soren gives you 5s.
I've seen more rockets but that was annecdotal, I can't count that fast.
The pilot for me makes sense because I need an extra second to hide and shield. I'm a 「dookie」ty player.
