I can already tell that 15 seconds of ability to jump behind the lines with 90% damage reduction is going to be too much. This will be exploited in squads to ridiculous effect by cycling it. Please give feedback along the lines of a 10 second ability. 15 seconds is way too long. BTW, the first counter I thought of was the Ravana. It will be necessary to keep these things from invading spawn and taking all your home beacons. 15s. Ability is ok, just ditch the stupid 90% DR Nope. New bots that don't have some level of invincibility won't sell. It's gotta have 90% DR, steath for days or near unlimited Phase Shift...or a supremely powerful level of flatulence. Power farting sells. lol

Whales will buy it because it's ridiculously OP, everyone else will 「female dog」 about them being OP and then scramble to get them in order to compete, then everyone will 「female dog」 even louder when it gets nerfed. And the cycle repeats.

If this has more than 200k HP boostered and skilled, it would take 2M regular damage to kill it This thing is broken AF

Really want to know how this will work with 500m range.
• Does that mean this bot becomes the fasted to traverse the battle field? • Opening bot, run a few meters until within 500m of the first beacon runner then zap teleport to where that fast bot is? No need to walk over there? • Do you have to teleport back or can you just stay where you land and keep using this to zip across the map? • What if the bot is in flight like AM - do you teleport to thin air or on the ground somewhere behind it?
90% and this type of range, oh boy.
Also, damn it’s a good looking bot!

I'm going to stand with my back to the edges of bridge in Castle. Pls teleport behind me. Can’t wait until: *Scorpion teleports behind you* *You teleport behind Scorpion* “nothing personnel kid”

Also, damn it’s a good looking bot! My guess is that this will transport you to the rear of an enemy you're locked onto within 500 m. I don't see any other way to dictate how to choose where you go. If this is how it works, I can see it being a nasty beacon grabber. Let the Strider/Phantom/whatever old bot get to a beacon first and zap there to take their lunch money. This will be a terrible surprise to those beacon running. You'd essentially be doing all the work for the other team to get there, then dying.

Ravana got a huge nerf right before it hit the live server. The stats ѻﻭɼﻉ posted are probably not final. Correct. These are just the baseline to start testing

I like that is bot is just MADE to murder other princess bots, but WHY DID IT NEED 90% DR? Because *THIS* is the new Phantom: time to dump the old...again...and pony up for the new toxin

They're not even pretending to care anymore, are they?
90% damage reduction AND teleportation there AND teleportation back.
It's just 「fluffernutter」ing braindead.
Just 「fluffernutter」 off Pix.
Honestly, I'm surprised. I figured the new bot would have 99% reduction, instant teleportation with no cooldown, and team stealthing with lockdown ammo and a legendary pilot skill which steals silver and gold from the target when fired.
Why do new bots have to be OP and skill-compensating?? What about releasing bots that are just ... fun to play? You know? Just ... fun.
90% DR and teleportation to and fro. How fragile must peoples' egos be??
The games nuts already. I had 3 「fluffernutter」ing Leeches tethered to me as I ran from 2 Au Juns. I mean, for Christ sake, that's 2 red I can't even target and passively destroy me without firing, and 3 that kill me if I have the audacity to fire at them. So I just sat there looking at the Leeches as they fought over who got to kill me. Awesome. Great. I love what you did there.
So I can look forward to the future scenario. 3 Leeches laughing at me, 2 Au Juns killing me without even knowing I'm there and when I try to run behind cover to evaluate my life, a teleporting Scorpion bot from across the battlefield with 90% reduction.
What a total 「fluffernutter」ing joke.
I can't believe I complained about ST Spectres. Little did I know.

Again, Pixonic with zero critical thinking. On moon, reds won’t even be able to take their home beacon. You can easily get within 500m of their home before they can turn it, meaning you can teleport there with a bot that has 90% resist for 15s. Absolutely zero thought put into this bot. And they’re so hellbent on releasing quantum sensor for titans instead of leaving them a weakness. Make them rely on regular bots for protection from stealth. It firepower and health will be weak enough to make teleporting into the middle of the enemy team a suicide mission. This thing may end up being a bit overpowered but it probably won't be insane.

In hindsight, Rhino is one of the few past-life meta bots that got buffed, not nerfed All that does is bring back memories of 30 rhinos spawn rushing blue

The Scorpion does sound interesting; I suspect the weapons of choice will be hella bursty. Freeze or Storm/Halo.
So many questions: --One can teleport in back of a red; how close? Inside a purple bubble close? --What if, like an inmate in a penitentiary shower, the Red spends all of his time with his back against the wall? Will the teleport refuse to engage? Will you teleport into the wall and die? Unlikely I know, but our efficient coders at Pix need to look out for this stuff. --How will I know I'm about to get butt-jacked? Will I get notified/warned via the UI or will I have to spend all my time spinning around like a jack-?bum-bum?? --The concept is a little silly. We're used to the Phantom having backwards blink and this is kind of a forward blink to a backstab. Why don't they go whole hog, if you are within 500m of a beacon you can blink there?
AND- imagine how sneaky this could be- On Moon somebody grabs their far-right beacon then they head back to their home, assuming they are facing the way they are walking you blink behind them and quick-like head to the beacon without firing a shot.
Jokingly let me just be the first to say:
"THIS IS B.S.! This will totally break the game! Ridiculous!!" We said this about the Loki and we're fine.

Another cool looking robot that I will hate due being OP. I don't know how Pixonic do this. Just when you thought it can't exist anything more OP than their last item released they outdo themselves with some even stronger. It's like their imagination for making Broken items is infinite. Me every second after the Scorpio hits the Live server:

This will definitely make the beacon game into a different animal. Can't be sure yet until it's tested and released. We all screamed bloody murder when the Loki hit the test server but it's now added a fun dynamic to the game. I'm not saying this scorpion will be good or bad yet, but let's see how it plays after a few test servers. Although it does look cool.

Asumming you landed every one, at 132 DoT x 5s, that's 99000. So twin vipers max mk2, with 2/3 accuracy, would deal 133k in corrosion. Finally sting and wasp really have potential, because 15s is a long duration. You could easily get in some cycles with either.
