The new weapon on the test server, the Vortex, is probably built to fit the Dash Bots. What the devs don't know, is that it's easier to use Aphids when you have the high ground. Just watch, no one is going to put the Vortex on Dash bots, they're going to use Rogs and Griffins.

Totally! I mean if I'm assuming right, putting vortex on my kumiho would probably only make it slightly superior to what.. the aphid stalker? Not that impressive but idk. Depends on the damage because I'm not too clear what the specs of it are. If two vortex could end up being equal to 3 level 9 aphids, I might consider it though, as Kumiho's weapons are REALLY tall. They'd make a great missile lauchpad and usually that's all you need to deal more damage with aphids/soon-to-come vortex. Found my Aphid Leo does better than aphod Gepard because his aphids have an easier time taking off, not even counting the Thunder he has strapped on. Not only that, but certain weapons have seemed underwhelming on TS, and then we're found to be overpowered when leveled higher in Last Stand. So only time will tell what's really gonna happen. Maybe they just want a wider variety for the dash bots because when those guys first released, your only sensible options were Orkan and Tarans (okay and possibly Tulus get off my 「bum-bum」, jeez..) I guess just adding a wider spectrum to the rest of the greatly used robots is a nice side effect (although those damn weapons are in 10 thousand 「fluffernutter」ing pieces)

So the Vortex does 1.5x amount of damage as the Aphids, making it (currently) perfectly balanced!

This would be a nice combo for kumiho. Dash dash fire. Does kumiho break lock when dashing?

The Vortex is something you can fit on dash robots. Does not mean that Dash Robots is suited for them. To make a Dash Robots something only a little better than an Aphid Patton is a pure waste of a dash robot.
Furthermore, Vortex-Aphid Death Button Griffins are even better.
And then there is the Ancilot with Vortex.
And of course, the Doc with four Vortices.
I would say that in the end, the Vortex is more of a true Doc or Griffin weapon than anything.

But with the current meta, if you noticed, everything that involves Pixonic is a conspiracy, we (forum members) will find anything to conspire and gossip about. So now, since the Vortex is a medium weapon, it automatically means that it was a failed attempt by Pixonic to make a new weapon for them. Get it? Got it? Good.
