After suffering through years of inadequate or nonexistant nerfs for robots like Ares, Ao Jun and Leech, I'm very glad to say that the robots that have arrived are all half decent or pretty bad.
Cerebus: With a one-shot or miss ability, an always on Aegis with very little HP (41K) and an MK2 12 health of 144K, this robot's ability is hard to hit on a foe and doesn't made up for it's average durability of corrugated cardboard.
Ravana: It was predicted to be a gamechanger, but in reality it's a double charge ability that's Phase Shifting with a speed boost. Granted, this thing can go flying off of ramps and shake off Suppression/Lockdown like a champ, but a 16 second ability cooldown per charge means it's a Haechi that has no Ancile or available DR when exposed. Plus, you can't fire while Transcending, and it only lasts for 3 seconds.
Nightingale: With 2 Mediums and 1 Light, it's the first robot to share a config with Hover. However, this robot puts all it's stock into the Air Support ability, which uses Stealth, flight, Suppression AND healing in one go, but disables it's guns entirely. As a result, not only is this robot vulnerable on the ground, but it's dealing little to no damage in the air.

Interesting for sure and I’m curious on the positive side of Nightengales healing as the amount of AG , Honor ,etc that the healing may give to the Nightengales use ? Edit- I won the Nightengale Bot and find him quite positive to use. I gain an average of 420 honor points a match from him from seeing the honor point results. Most times this difference gets me to second place on a loss to still gain positive points !

Don't doubt the nighting gale, its healing isn't half bad and its suppression seems to be obnoxious when on the recieving end, simply needs good bots to pair up with and to be smart. Could make fighting leeches easier than dieing to one.

If I had my pick of the 3 it would easily be nightingale
Not into super delicate bots. Spectre is already way too delicate for me, but it has 4 hydras... So no cerberus
Ravana was the one making everybody upset, but I don't know. It has good HP and 3 mediums, moves a decent pace. It doesn't seem that far from haechi/bulga.

This is nothing new. It’s the same cycle pix always does. This set of bots will be balanced. Just like the set of bots that Tyr came with.
What did we get after that set? It was leech!
So I would say that the next set of bots will have the meta bot in it. IMHO!

This is good news.
Maybe this is the new way they do things? Dragon bots: Strong (well, one of them)
Ragnarok bots: Balanced (but still relevant)
Whatever Leech and Phantom are: Strong
Whatever this lot are: Balanced (well, a bit 「dookie」 actually)
Using this flawless logic, the next round of bots will be strong - probably after they don't sell any of this lot. In fact, after seeing how terrible that community thing is, it'll probably have permanent stealth, ultimate corrosion and about a billion hit points so they can hit their sales targets!

With ME and clever survivor and xx survivor, ravana can activate up to 5 times of phase shifts when taking fast damage. Can totally wear off leechâs skill and pwn leech. The only thing it canât do is stand there like a stickout 「fake pee place」 and take dmg like leech... |

Nightingale should have had stealth built in like the Ao Jun. If he can't attack I think having stealth would make up for it.
This is a good post and hopefully they're listening to us and balancing out the robots in the long run. Hopefully they'll do this with the Titans as well(haha...i made a funny).

Of course, until a Jun with the Legendary Pilot comes and eats you alive. |

Mediocre ... Until Pix sees sales are not good and then the buffs start.

I thought that was a stupid decision to make that pilot. Might as well make a pilot for Auto phase shift when you land on the ground for 20 seconds. |

The 16 second "nerf" to the Ravana was brutal and went too far.
The other elephant in the room is the push to have us "invest" in Titans.

It's all good until you realize we are 1-2 updates away from another op bot that will top the leech. Just like.when suppression bots came out they were slightly balanced and then boom invincible op purple shield god bot |

Ahh, this post aged like fine milk. I started reading it, thinking it was a new thread and thought what the hec? The Ravana classed as a "mediocre" bot. In all fairness, this was was before the Legendary Pilot was released for it and the buffs to speed/cooldown/health were made, plus a limited edition banana Ravana version was introduced. |
