My superchest reward after 7 days of grinding

Okay first battle in this bot and its ability feels 「slow」, it just jets straight up into the sky all the way onto the map ceiling almost making me look like a hacker roflol.

I'd trade you this 「slow」 hover bot that just jets up into the air for your Galahad, this flying hover bot is just Gekko/Trebuchet magnet.

I do not recommend this bot on the map dreadnought, yes it gets to the top easily while hovering............very slowly, eating missiles and Punisher bullets in the face and if you go inside the ship the glide ability will just screw you in the rear while you get stuck under the roof of the ship.

Cangratulations!..That you got a whole robot instead of fragments!

thank you ezekielcow and lmfao i cannot ultilise this bot with tulu/pin, orkan/pinata and now im gunna try 3 molots because its a clay pigeon as you say :P.

Lol ?

Yes that is a good point, but I'm still trying to figure out the hover works, while it glides around grabbing all the red bots attention to focus fire to kill it fast as it crashes into the wall and why when it lands the movement joystick goes unresponsive...leaving you crippled for 3 seconds.

It's a great beacon capper indeed, but I'm aware this bot takes skill and experience to master. So I'm going to watch YouTube videos on how to play it properly.

I agree this can be a powerful bot . However, the difference between the Hover versus the Kumiho, Cossack, Rogatka, and Griffin is the currently most Hover pilots leave the Hover in the air for a lot longer than any other bot. This makes it more vulnerable due to the lack of cover. I know I can currently drop a Hover with Trebs much faster than any other bot while it's in the air. 

About piloting Hover, in general this ability is a liability since you're a slow flying target. I just opened the app update and my first 2 targets this morning were eliminating Hover from the sky. However, as stupid as it seems, I just wanna say give it more time and try more load-outs to find the one that works well for your play style. I have an example why I say this:

When I first got Inquisitor I was really disappointed particularly in how quick it died in CQC. So I put Thunder Punishers on and it worked really well. Over time as I explored piloting it I began to understand the peculiarities of how it needed to be driven and this resulted in using my midrange load-out in CQC more and more. I then switched to Ember Tarans, Thunder Orkans, or Thunder Tarans for brawling and it works great.

So I think with more time you may find the peculiarities of its niche, then you can start a thread about piloting Hover.

First battle in Yamantau/Domination mode, I went to the centre beacon, tested the ability, it went straight into the air and it was hovering down slowly.

Then the next thing I saw was 4 orange lasers coming towards me (2 first, then came another 2) and my mech was killed while I was clueless hovering in the air. Turns out the sniper was a quad trebuchet butch.

I haven't faced many Hovers yet, but this one guy on Dreadnought, took my Rog to half health before I could get halfway to him. He had Hydras and a Spiral - probably high level. He stayed on top of the ship and kept the range open with the glide ability. Sure, a treb finally took him down, but I could see a bunch of blues trying to nail it.

I was thinking of getting 2 Hydras plus a spiral for playing mid range as it seems okay with this bot, for the time being I only have 2 build options orkan/pinata or tulumbas/pin and I'm trying to adjust between both and see which one works better.

Maybe I shouldn't have bought Trebuchet with my WSP :(, my Workshop is level 15 and I'm only getting 510 WSP a day. dammit :v

I dont see why hover can make hydra/spiral any better.  We are talking about guided missles that go up and around buildings.  No need to hover to get a line of sight.

fuijin does a better job and can deliver more dmg.

Try Tulu/Pin, Punishers or Molots.

Have you ever noticed that if you fire Aphids at the top of a Griffin's jump arc that they have a better chance to do full damage? The extra launching height gives it that little bit of oomph. With hydras and spirals, I've noticed on my Spydra that firing when jumping gives the missiles a little bit more travel, and the extra height can help them get over some buildings. With the Hover that I encountered on Dreadnought, since there is no place to hide from homing missiles when you're out in the open, the Hover pilot used his glide ability to keep the range open so that he stayed at 600m as much as possible.
