The best part about using Exodus is they are hard to see, just when they think you are a Traditionalist, go all Sgt. Doakes on em. Yeah, pretty low profile. In other news - scary forum name, great books, can’t wait for the third which I think will be published about the same time I get a set of Cryo weapons sufficiently leveled. If only Pat could grind pages like we grind silver. Rollo Tomassi is from "The Untouchables"?

Loki / stealthed bot Tip.
If the c0cky lil bugger is stupid enough to let you go toe to toe (happens more often than you think), go Talons out, make sure you’ve got it in close contact and jump. When it works, it will launch the Loki just a little bit into the air and right into your sights. Such a very satisfying kill.

Sooo close. This one went the full 10min. We staged a late game come back and 30s more would have had the win. Still, stacks of Falcon Fun. All the Mech, Ad Mech, Wonder Worker and a few hits on the green pipe totaled almost 500k healing, so my new PR damage only went up to 3.49M.

Less than a week left in the current season, up to the middle of Champions League-VI (yup, when you get inside Champions League 7, they reward you with Roman Numerals, lol). I had a couple days of beatdown to the mid-30s win rate, but caught some good duos and brought it back up.

Butch and Sundance , we might have lost, but we went down shooting. Held center and the open side for damn near 3 minutes in a shorthanded game though. Good game FORCE IV!

That’s the movie I often quote to explain why I don’t run tFalc: I’m better when I move. Nice to see Cormac in there. Mine is stacked (and sidelined) as a tFalc pilot, just in case, but I think it’s about time to give that up once and for all. I use to run it as a late game drop (Ad Skills for beacon chasing), but Titans kill that strategy. I think he wants to run my Viper build.

I've been running mine earlier, second or third drop to consolidate before tons of titans drop. I've been surprised how well the Traditionalist holds up Titans. One heavy is not great, but all those hit points take a beating even with mitigation. My biggest problem with tFalc before was I stayed in it too long. Now dying just means its time to chew up Titans with Tyr or Bulwark. oFalc is still funner.

Well, it cost 650 Au to retrain Cormac, but he’s off the Bench as a standby tFalc pilot and now rocks the Viper build. I think this means I’m done with tFalc for good. He loves the holiday [fake wee wee place] look of the Candy Viper and is looking forward to [fluffer nuttering] some red [fun ladies] and [illegitimate children] right in the [dookie shoot].

Can't quite decide what to do for a falcon build.
Most of these are not leveled. I do have a 2.12 and 1.11 Calamity. But I don't see that as a great build for the Falcon. I'm a fan of rockets since the RDB and DB Griffin days of old, so my first choice would be glaciers. But the cost to level...oh my. I have 1 Glacier on my Fenrir that is 2.12 - but I like it on the Fenrir with Igniters, it's my favorite bot right now. So whatever I start building up is going to take a while before I'm willing to run it (I won't start running until weapons are 1.9+)
For what it's worth, I'm that guy that more often than not runs right into trouble and I like it that way. I will occasionally show moments of decent skill and actually use cover, but more often just go hard for the kill with a side of beacon.
Just for fun I'm almost done building a second Falcon in the workshop. Not sure why, really, perhaps to keep the option to go tfalc or ofalc, etc.
My current list, based on available weapons in storage, in order of my preference at the moment 1. 3 Glaciers 2. 3 Vipers 3. 1 Ember 2 Glaciers 4. 1 Glacier, 2 Embers 5. 3 Freedom Avalanche (because fireworks! I know they need major buffage to use though) 6. 3 Calamity 7. 3 Dragoons
I don't have spare Avengers - just the 2 that are on my main Titan killing Ao Jun.
My T-falc currently has a 2.12 Glory, which is in sad shape these days. not even thinking about running 3 Glories. Meh. It would be good short term burst damage I suppose, but not worth leveling up 2 more.

The the way I run them, the original works best by huge burst and escape, and the traditionalist deals DPS while swapping paint. YMMV

I can’t even afford 1 Goon w/upgrades, though..... Ive watched that build reck reds.....leveled I’d bet they would hurt the ballon boys, too!

Then for my oFalc...3 Glaciers will be killer. Just had several matches teamed up with a partial CHUP squad (4 of us total) and I had a blast being an annoying ?dookie?head in my Tfalc as the 3rd drop. Shifting reds to where I wanted them to be on the map. It's great for that. And not so boring when you're achieving the goal then taking on fire from 4-5 reds at once lol. Meanwhile you get to watch the rest of the beacons turn blue as your competent team takes advantage of the situation. we won something like 7 or 8 matches in a row. Good fun.

Yes I was surprised to find I even had 3 Dragoons in my locker. They are all 1.1 so it will be a while before I could run them. Could be good for hangar 2 which has a bit more range to it. I've got a 1.9 Raven there with 1.9 Hussar and Marquess, it would welcome the oFalc with Dragoons. I don't drop 2nd hangar often, but sometimes running solo I get bored of the usual, and get a range map and say why not. I'm surprised sometimes at how decent the 1.9 Hussy / Marquess can be.

My win rate went up like 8 or 10 percent since I switched back to the super Schütze, and actually having reds that can (eventually) kill it means I get to run my late game gear. Enjoy, may all your beacons be blue!

I will say our matchups were pretty solid - of the 7 or so matches we played, we only wiped out the reds quickly in 1 or 2 of them, and quickly wasn't even that quickly - 5 minutes instead of 8-9.

On a lark I added speed shooter to sharpshooter on my Tri-avenger rig. Craaap that sucka mows reds down like forest gump does football fields. It was a loosing effort but we were down a man. I stopped several titans from walking from center to our right beacon on carrier.

As step one fo my eventual plan of Falcon awesomeness, I switched out my 2.12 Glory on the Tfalc for a 1.10 Ember. I couldn't be happier. Works so much better for the way I play the TFalc, and I love the 5 second reload. Falcon is at 9400 in the WS, A Glacier is leveling to 8 in the background. I can smell the new Triple Glacier Falcon cooking and I like it. I also have a very bored Comac pilot that's been on staff for a long time with nothing to do. I might turn him into the TFalc pilot and use the maxed regular pilot for the real Falcon. If I'm feeling Oprah rich I can even switch the Traditionalist skill when I want to run one or the other on my 2.12 Falcon chassis. Only 1k au per switch! I wish you could temporarily disable a skill I was running the Blackbird skin (5%) for a long time with the Glory. Didn't look right with the Ember. Was happy to find I also have the Praetorian (5%) skin in inventory. Mmmmhmm I like this look indeed. I think this skin will also look decent with my Sinister Glaciers (I don't have regular Glacier) As a point of getting this bot using 3 weapons sooner than later I might just run a 1 Ember 2 Glacier build. As much as I don't want to park my Fenrir, I can take it's 2.12 Glacier and be running a pretty strong build on the Falcon today or tomorrow. (1.10 Ember, 2.12 Glacier, 1.9 Glacier)

FWIW, I am going all in on my Viper build. Cormac (w Armor, RH and Speedshooter), 5% skin, BB, Last Stand, Vipers at 2.12 2.1 1.11, bot baking to 2.8 atm on its way to 2.12. Then I’ll work on the weapons.

Just wanted to post about how awesome Falcon is. Today, to change some things up, I went back to 3x Avenger Falcon, which re activated my Sharpshooter skill.
Whoa. I forgot what a nasty beast it is, and never realized it can ruin a Titans day, ez like.
Might be time to run 2 of these, Avenger and Viper......but, I’ll wait until I see how hard Avengers are nerfed first......

I'm struggling with my regular Falcon, but will get used to it and stop playing it like a T-Falcon. Takes me a while to adjust to changes.
