Okay, I'm rising through Android Expert 2, and I'm quite sick of purple shields and flying stealth symbols, even though I have an Ares myself.
I'm considering just concentrating most or all of my hangar into assassins. I figure that even if I sacrifice one of mine, if it takes out a red Greek or Ao Jun, it's a worthwhile exchange for the team.
I figure I need a bot that is fast or has range to get to the targets, and then can take some hits or hide until shield or stealth run out, then can dump a lot of damage on target fast.
So, which of these bots do you rank as the best 5 to fit my task?
Ares Strider Hover Mercury Inquisitor Lancelot Rayker Bulwark Hellburner *** robots below need a lot of leveling Fury Falcon Mender

What has two butts and kills? Vortex Spectre is the best "assassin" for countering Ares and even Ao Jun. Takes a lot of patience and situation awareness. The best feeling I can get from this game is single shotting an Ares whose shield just came down, or who is just hiding in cover waiting for the ability to cool down. It's hilarious actually. Sometimes, when I'm in "the zone", I'll actually time my shot so perfectly that the missiles hit immediately after the purple shield drops. It's tricky and risky, but sometimes it's worth trying for because the Ares is so damn fast and can get to cover fast. Because the V-Spectre hits from cover, I consider it a true assassin bot. Everything else requires you to get into the Ares's face, and that's always a risky move thanks to root and Last Stand.

Strider and Blitz are my striking bots. Exodus and Gust or Halo on the Strider and Gust or Halo or mix on Blitz. Donβt run an Ares.

Hover scourge spark for me. I hunt Greeks bot if run my hover. But now I'm starting to use scourge Bulgasari. Its shield pretty tough and it gets higher hp now. The dash is useful in covering some area fast.

Strider Gusts Exodus. Much thanks to balrog89 for suggesting earlier this summer I try Gusts to replace the PiΓ±atas I had been running. This thing is a great assassin. Itβs almost always underestimated by bigger bots until itβs too late. I now love destroying Ares with it as much as I do winning. Also building one with Halos instead of Gusts in anticipation of Gust nerf.

Pursuer or strider. Neither are easy, but when you run them well... they'll do exactly what you mentioned above.

If you plan to use them as Assassins, make sure you put AC on as many as possible.

Ares Strider Hover Mercury Inquisitor Lancelot Rayker Bulwark Hellburner *** robots below need a lot of leveling Fury Falcon Mender Strider is an awesome assassin bot. I would put Mercury there as well. Arm him with 1 ECU to protect you from retribution. Hellburner is awesome. Lock Down module is wicked with it as is the new Phase module. If you need to upgrade the Falcon, put a pilot in it and make it a T-Fal. Walk right into the thick of things and create havoc. Mender should be upgraded too. It is another great assassin. Of the bots you have, those are the best IMHO.

Of course with a Stider, you can just skate into the bubble.
