Ideas for Crisis?

Heres the thing
You need to be as far from anything as physically possible
Even allies cuz it might attract attention
Bumblebutts are too slow and close range to use safely
Spinny pew pew lasers are better but still dangerous because it requires lasting shooting
Geese guns are the best option because time to charge in safety and its one and done
Personally i recommend zenits because theyre cheap and occasionally deadly though sustained fire do be bad tho
Launch the hell birds into your foes like theres no tomorrow or else there just might not be ;]

My experience with Crisis, only fighting against them, is they are made for the Reaper Weapon. It packs a HUGE punch, has a good clip, massive range and reloads pretty quick. Paired with Crisis stealth it is a lethal combination. You have to be heavily armored, very fast or stealthy to sneak up on one with those weapons. Even at VERY close range a Reaper will destroy you.

Conversely, other less effective weapons reveal the huge flow for Crisis. It is made of glass. Once you get close they are one of the easiest bots around to kill. Sonic Loki, Nut, Lynx will be on you quick and will be devastating.

Gauss, if you get hit by one (~9,000 damage) will hurt. However, it is one shot then an 8 second reload... long time. A miss can be painful. Small map you will killed right away.

Hornet's biggest flaw is a long 12 second reload AND only 600M range. One of the fast bots will be all over you in 12 seconds.

Reaper has the best of both. 6 shot clip, ~2,700 damage (L1), 7 second reload AND 1,100 range. AND... they go through most shields!

Good thing about Gauss and Hornet is they are safe from NERFs. In fact I believe Gauss just got a BUFF. Lasers, I feel are pretty balanced, but your never know with PIX and new gear.

For me I would only run Crisis with Reaper. If one fell in my lap with all the weapons I'd give it a run but other than that I'd let it sit in the hanger until the dust settles with PIX's cycle of NERF and BUFF. Too many other good bot/ weapons combination that are more balanced.

I played a Crisis/ Reaper today. Maxed out MK2.12.. weapons and bot. Those guns are insane. One shotted my Eldrich Ares and shot my Fafnir out of the sky. Sort of funny. Unfortunately for him my sneaky Scorpion caught up with Mr. Crisis at closer range. Sonics took him out in one clip. REALLY soft.

Oh and also terror has a point that ill add to
Crisis is designed to ambush
Everything involved in Crisis gives extra damage on stealth drop or buffs its and deactivates the stealth itself
By the way
Never
Ever
Put thunders on crisis
Trust me it does less damage than putting four anciles on the damn thing would

Theres also nashorn
Dont fight me forumites because i will die on this hill

I agree with the above. Gauss fits best with the hide-and-seek style of Crisis, as laser weapons require you to deactivate stealth for an extended amount of time. Reapers are of course best, but Gauss is not half bad since its firing profile somewhat resembles Reaper.

Another point on Gauss... and I had the same issue with Webber. It has huge range and hits very hard. However, shooting at range requires accuracy and hitting a tiny bot from across the map is not easy. Under the right circumstances you can one-shot that turkey to dust and feathers. If you miss that "one shot" OR hit a shield (there are lots of them) you are waiting 8 seconds to reload for another single shot. Running Webber for a while I just felt like 2/3 of my shots were either hitting a shield or a miss.

Meanwhile Prismas, Reaper and Lasers are all over you. Add to this all the speedy, sneaky and transporting bots are coming your way.

Again, I think there are MANY mid-range bots/ weapons that are faster, more armored and flexible to run rather than Crisis which I see as a specialist.

Pulsar is a really good mix of range, capacity and power. Relatively cheap to upgrade and can carry you very far in the game. Locking down an enemy at 600M can really help your tankier team remember. Ares, Erebus and Typhon give you 4 weapons slots and decent speed and durability. Not as sexy as Crisis but very solid. I'd even throw in Fafnir with the right set up and skills.

You are right about Fafnir. If it is not played carefully it goes down quick. I run a full set of Pulsars on it. I generally try to sit back and fire at reds from full range. Charge up Nuke Amp and other modules. I run L6 Nuke, Repair and Immune. It slowly gains power, speed and durability. Where it gets really good is when you take off and find some idiot to shoot at your shields... then it becomes VERY powerful... titan killing powerful under the right circumstances. EVERY time a Mars yeets it turret in my direction I take off and absorb those hits, land, recharge and repeat. You just have to really carefully manage flight and ground fighting. It is for sure NOT the invincible flying terror it was pre-nerf. I find it a challenging but rewarding bot to run. Bear in mind it's a maxed Corrupted Fafnir with a full set of Sinister Pulsars, pilot skills and afore mentioned modules. It is about as tough as you can make it. Once it is really HOT I can hover over Anglers and just melt them as they go in and out of phase. 

Erebus has some Prisma's on it. On the big maps at max distance it can be pretty devastating. On shorter maps the Nethers, Lynx's, Scorpions etc. are on you too fast and the charging time/ range of the Prisma become a liability. I have the Basil Pilot for +10% damage for weapons with 800M + range. Like my other comments on Crisis/ Reaper I feel like this is very much a specialist/ second hanger bot/ weapon set up for the big maps. In a brawl it is a paper tiger. (It is a cool looking set up.)

thats true.. You WILL DIE on that hill running Nashorns..lol. :-)
