I like that is bot is just MADE to murder other princess bots, but WHY DID IT NEED 90% DR? Lots of DR being introduced to build up demand for the Damage Mitigation Modules coming in 6.2, 6.3 at the latest. What do we think, 5k Au passive modules that provide stackable 33% DM or Active Modules that give 5s/40PCs? p.s. I have no knowledge of this, just a prediction based on the standard Pix pattern of sell a problem, sell a solution, rinse, repeat...

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 Can someone please tell Pix that the built in weapon should have freeze effect in addition to DOT? You know, like a paralyzing poison. Or how about temporary Pilot skills disablement, the poison seeps into the c0ckpit and stuns the poor pilot.

I suspect the weapons of choice will be hella bursty. Freeze or Storm/Halo. Why? You have FIFTEEN 「fluffernutter」ing seconds of ability time, during which you are tankier than a T-Falc. God hog-wild on Atomizers and Igniters. Bursty weapons would make sense if this thing was a true assassin... but it is not that lol

My guess is it'll get nerfed to 10 seconds at 50% DR but that is a W.A.G. I try to be reserved at chasing meta. I have no immediate plans of building a Ravana and only tepid plans of maybe building this "Scorpion." I'm gonna sit back and watch. it's cheaper that way in the long run.

Seems like an Arthur killer... teleport behind them after noticing that they have had a good royal flatulence moment, shoot them till they realize they are getting shot, then teleport back before they can shoot you. Arthur has the built-in fart bug repellent, plus the resistance mitigation makes DR obsolute. I don't think scorpion will do any good against Arthur. Maybe the element of surprise and a quick in and out of its ability can make it work in 5+ ability activation.

2 Mediums, 1 Light, AND a built in weapon is "Fairly Low" By today’s standards.....yes Considering 2M + 1L = 2H (or very close), add a built-in weapon and you have similar firepower to Ao Jun (depending on the strength of the BIW) Of the Bots that out-damage it significantly, only Spectre and Leech have high mobility, and Scorpion's mobility will trump anything else in the game in terms of overall usefulness. Scorpion WITHOUT DR or Built-In: 1) Locate lone Red 2) Teleport behind it 3) Activate Death Mark 4) Unload full Cryo/Rime volley in the time it takes the Red to identify the source if the threat and turn around. 5) Return to safety. This would be enough to make it top Meta moving 40 kph with 50k durability. With the listed specs, there's simply no justiation to use anything else. Ever.

Now the death squads can instantly teleport to kill me. They no longer have to spend ten whole seconds running to get to a spawn raid.

Viper on its own will kill it, at least you won't die when your teammates shoot it. Plus the firepower seems to be fairly low, the built in is hard to get a reading off but it seems like it will be a bit on the weak side. 2 Mediums, 1 Light, AND a built in weapon is "Fairly Low"? Yeah, leech, ao jun, ravana, and many others have way more with abilities like this so it is not gonna be half as bad as those that everyone complains about.

Plus the firepower seems to be fairly low, the built in is hard to get a reading off but it seems like it will be a bit on the weak side. Viper has 150 charges. 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. Well if you are fighting this thing it is going to be in close especially if we are talking about the ability (short range built in, teleports to right behind you) so the accuracy won't be an issue. If you include the normal damage from a viper and the corrosion you can get 117,450 damage per unload, even missing a few shots still keeps it above 100k. With 2 that is a 200k damage no matter how bad your aim is (

Imagine two or three of these things all teleporting right behind your 「bum-bum」 and starting to blast away. You can barely fight them cause their DR just makes your shots tickle them. And God forbid you actually come close to killing them, and they'll just teleport away to come bite you later. Give me a 「fluffernutter」ing break. Might as well create a bot drops a nuke and blows everyone off the map. Y'all better give this thing a bad review in the test server. Preferably take away this thing's DR and drastically reduce it's ability duration to like 5sec.

The Ravana started testing with 4 charges with like a 6 second cool down. I’m not worried. Yet.

New robot Scorpion coming to test server: You're telling me the a robot with the nerve to be called Scorpion doesn't have 4 legs, at least? Back to the drawing board.

I’m so sick of everything receiving damage resistance... Not yet you aren’t. But after another couple of months, you will be begging for Pix to release the Damage Mitigation Modules. As per their design.

This is going to be a one-trick pony, but a deadly one.
I can already foresee a few interesting conceptual weakness or game play scenarios.
Weakness: You CANNOT play it conservatively if you want to use the ability. If you're low on health, you still have to get into the red's face. This is where Phantom and Leech have a leg up.
Interesting scenarios: Scorpion traps and duels. Its Achilles' heel is that it needs a safe place to operate from. If you observe a Scorpion teleporting, run your Phantom over to the site and wait for it to return. Or play it it for tat and ambush it with your own Scorpion once it's back.
Or course, the Scorpion is going to be the master ambusher. Dragon bots, Leeches, Spectres, Nightingales will no longer have a safe place to wait out their cooldown.

I predict that in live server the ability duration will only be max 7 seconds so Pix can sell Legendary Pilot that double the duration.

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. Don't underestimate them. They know damn well what they are doing. Don't think like a player, think maximizing profit.
