Discuss. I have mainly been exploring the Phantom equipped with Phase Shift (passive mod), 3 HAKs, definitely Road Hog and Adamant Road Hog, and equipped with Corona Halo and Storm Gust.  |

The Behemoth, now that they changed the excessively slow shift to all four weapons during ability to a smooth and more reasonable change in ability speed, is now quite fun and could provide some interesting gameplay in Beacon Rush with 4 Exodus, 4 Glory, 4 Ember, and is much more enjoyable played as a MR and LR assist. If it stays in current form, I’d replace a Fury with it.

Still hate phase shift... When is Pixonic will finally going to understand we don't need any invulnerability in this game...
Ares speed nerf makes this bot even more boring to play, and still not solve Ares-train problem. Just bring shield breaker back and make it penetrating absorb shield instead of breaking it instantly.

The speed nerf to Ares doesn’t solve the main issues people have with the shield, but like I said elsewhere, it does effect the individual pilot with regards to evasion and multiple target acquisition that is possible with greater speed because with greater speed during ability the Ares can get away from targets pursuing them, and clear obstacles to LOS enabling multiple target acquisitions. However, just use speed boosters, stack speed boosters in squad, train pilot skills for speed, and and equip the speed module of that comes out.
The speed reduction to the other two Greeks isn’t necessary and will definitely effect your gameplay and combat longevity unless you equip speed as mentioned above.

I’m dense like that Haven't played in this test server yet, but IIRC, if the target has Last Stand, a portion of the health bar is colored a darker shade of red, and Last Stand kicks in when the health reaches the darker red part. |

Penetrating the God Shield rather than breaking it completely seems like a fair middle ground. Hate I have to use power cells, but at least it's better than the joke of a nerf that is the speed nerf. |

Has anyone tried to run an Ares train on the test server? With the significant change in speed between unshielded/shielded bots, is it easier or harder to maintain the grouping?

I’ve encountered it several times. The speed change makes no difference, they just cover less ground, which will actually have significant impact on tactical objectives. The speed nerf to Ares, although not a perfect solution, actually does impact the performance of Ares as I have said elsewhere. Slower during ability means inability to retreat and evade as easily; inability to have a high target acquisition due to not being able to clear obstructions to LOS. If you apply this to an Ares Group Twerk, you see they will not be able to use this to press a beacon or get to targets or clear obstructions to LOS as easily. That’s a good thing. |
