I’ve only been playing my murder turtles for a while now; I’ve played every conceivable viable setup. My damage stats would probably be higher but I’ve been playing a good amount of squads lately. I’m a bot doctor - ask me anything!

That is motivation for me to continue upgrading my Mender, and maybe get another one. Here goes...
Which weapon configurations do you find more useful? Which pilot skills are best for Mender?

Well, my question is would a mender be a good replacement for a nemesis?

If one were to only run one Mender, would you recommend Halo/Corona, Pulsar/Shredder or some other build?

Do you make house calls? Or would that be hanger calls? Either way I like it.

Hey bob I have got my mender to L10 and its my absolute favorite thing. Thanks to pilot skills, i can compensate for the low level health. This cute little monster is savageee. Its very tricky playing a shotgun build at less slightly higher distances, but I love the risk reward equation. I glaldli levelled this up

I personally like Shredder / Corona the most because it’s really effective 0-500M Shotguns (energy or kinetic) also are great because you play a really gritty brawling role most of the time. All of my Mender have the same skills (after a LOT) of testing, keep in mind the skills are somewhat preference and some are 100% necessary to an elite mender. True Ace (must have) Deft Survivor (must have) Armor Expert (Preference) Road Hog (Preference) Adamant Road Hog (Preference) I’ll be picking up Spy (more speed) and probably replacing an armor module with accelerator eventually, but those are long term plans. I prefer agility and speed, this helps me keep up with faster teammates. A lot of people play the full tank skills like adamant guardian etc, and love that style too.

Well, my question is would a lender is a good replacement for a nemesis? I’m biased and I have a ton of practice playing Mender but I truly think it’s the better bot of those two. There’s really only 1 bot I can straight up out duel and that’s a maxed invader.

If one were to only run one Mender, would you recommend Halo/Corona, Pulsar/Shredder or some other build? IF I had to pick just one weapon set I’d go with Shredder / Corona. Usually I play two of those in my lineup, but this particular screenshot I was squadding with someone and he was playing more range with adamant skills to leverage the advantage of being down on beacons. So I tried to match that better.

Get True Ace and Deft Survivor on that and you’ll smash people at range with any weapon setup, back to back heals + speed + resistance is really hard to beat.

What active module do you normally run? Before pilots and their skills I always had healing but now I do not know if that is needed.... All the bots in my main hangar have pilots with the self healing.
Because or your thread Bob I have placed a newb pilot on my dusty shelved MK2 12 mender, tossed on a MK2 corona and my second set on shredders that are currently being leveled up. I do miss playing this bot is was very fun.
I am one of those that gets bored fast so I am constantly changing things around and hate the old days of being forced to play certain bots/ weapons to stay at the top.
First time in game history I have had all different bots in my main hangar for months. I am refusing to get a second Ares got one day one and thats enough LOL.
I love variety! This is one reason why I love watching your clan play on youtube.
Keep on rocking it Bob and thanks for all you do!

Five of the same bot is too monotone. I had a rule for myself when playing War Robots that I wouldn't carry more than one of each robot. Fujin is currently the deadweight of my hangar. She can go 1v1 and come out on top, but all my other robots usually take 2-3 skulls with them. Does Deft Survivor recharge your ability? I thought the description said it would recharge the active module.

My damage stats would probably be higher but I’ve been playing a good amount of squads lately. I’m a bot doctor - ask me anything! Great post. What do you find most effective vs. the pesky lil Loki? I.e. what locks him down w/o having to use Quantum Radar. I hate mixing up semitrical weapons, but I’d even go shredder/halo if it has the best chance of Loki-locking. I have True Ace, Deft, RH and AdRH on mine so far sporting halo 7/12 and Pun 2 12mK2, and just basic AKs. I have shredder 6 and corona 6 lying around and comps for whatever else I want, but that’s a lot of upgrade time.

Mender is low enough to hit Loki with anything really, lockdown is your best bet because it’s the keeping up part that’s hard. Shredders are ideal because they have the most vertical spread.

Thank you for all your tips and build suggestions! Also, I am currently running Mechanic instead of True Ace pilot skill, you think its okay or should i work towards true ace?

The Doctor Is Out Deft survivor recharges the “mend” ability as long as it’s in cooldown, yes What is the exact moment it can occur ? Is it after the 4 th healing pulse end or after the dmg reduction drops aka the turtle stance ends ?

I like to think that Robbie is proof (even though he’s certainly an outlier) that bots other than Ares and other perceived top tier meta can do really well in the hands of a truly dedicated and skilled player. My feeling is that other bots have undiscovered strengths, too.
