Paging Dr. Bob.....is it murder turtle weekend for the triple HP takedown? I expect you to set the high water mark for HPs, don’t let us down. ? Lol, I’m trying! I’m in the masters to champ crate grind currently so any progress feels slow. Even triples.

Mender has been one of the bots I have been considering getting to try out, I'm just not sure what I would run on it though. It seems like a really fun bot and might squeeze it's way into my hangar. I've been thinking of trying an igniter and blaze, maybe with a rim in the mix.

I was thinking of trying to run the brand new Mender I bought on Black Friday this way, as more close/mid-range-ish firesupport bot instead of as a pure brawler... I have a bit of a hard time wrapping my head around the idea of using a Mender in a full blown knife fight, since its ability doesn't last very long and it has a pretty long cooldown, to boot.

I have a bit of a hard time wrapping my head around the idea of using a Mender in a full blown knife fight, since its ability doesn't last very long and it has a pretty long cooldown, to boot. Mender is probably the strongest brawler out there, and has 'Deft Survivor' to boot. The healing pulses themselves last a full 4-5 seconds and the resistance continues for another 3-4 seconds after that... which you can almost instantly duplicate off the back of "DS". Think of it this way, my Mender's typically have ~200k health. Add resistance making him ~400k health. Add healing pulses 4x 20,000 giving him an effective 500,000 durability, plus the pilot skill that refreshes it. And that's not even mentioning the speed boost it gets during heal, with Road Hog, Spy and Adamant Road Hog my Mender runs at almost 100kmh during it's "support".

Fair. I guess a maxed out Mender CAN brawl, but mine is unlikely to ever go above lvl 9, and will likely have to work with basic Armor kits for mods, so I am not sure in that case knife-fighting is going to be in the cards for me.

It can brawl at lv8, but you just need to get a hang of timing the ability, and a good weapon group...like shredders

I have the Cryo, but it's a long way off in my upgrade priority list.

And just how would that sit with my OCD-ish sense of weapon symmetry? Not to well I think! On your Mender, do the Rime & Corona universally contribute to the freeze effect?

I sort of like that the corona still hits hard when the Rime slows down.

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. get an invader, switch it for the mender for just a few battles, make sure to make your name "creepy crawly" or something, lol.

Bob, I have been planning on making a mender for quite a while, I would assume you are gonna suggest shredder corona? I like the idea and you DO run 5 menders so I think im gonna listen to that.

Shredder Corona is probably the best universal build, yeah. I have other builds I like that have different functions depending on the state of the battle. Flames for Arthur/Tanks, Spark/Scourge for fighting Phantoms / Opening maps, shotguns for beacon brawling etc.

Also first time for me seeing a maxed out Kid in action. How does it fare in squad games?

Did they fix the Mender bug? Looks like it in your video, but maybe it's a sporadic thing.

My Mender in Champion is Level 10 with Mark 2 Level 4 Igniter and two Mark 2 Level 12 Magnums. Two Nuclear Reactors and Anti-control and Repair. Pilot has Master Gunsmith, Road Hog, Armor, Mechanic, True Ace Does good damage and repairs a lot. Titans are especially good too tag along with.
