As far as hanger is concerned, currently running Mite, Shon, Nelly, and Revanant.
T2 Shon: T2 MMR Manglers, T2 Fulgur w/ Surge Amp and 2 EMP Projectors. Still need to T2 the 3rd Accelerator and the Jump Capacitor. T2 Hardening, T1 Hardening, T2 EM Circuit, T1 EM Circuit. Need to T2 the T1 stuff.
T2 Mite: Built similarly to the Shon, but more T1 stuff. Weapons are fully T2 with one upgrade exception.
T2 Nelly: I've experimented with weapons. I had a full set of T2 Manglers, but kept getting in situations where my teammates (AI and people) were stupid leaving me to get annihilated and/or kited. Currently running T2 Stings with 2 T2 Reinforced Ammunition and a T2 Feeding Gear each. Fully T2 Orange armor, T2 Capacitors and a T2 Amp. Fully T1 EM Circuits (need to T2).
T1 Revenant: T2 MMR Tormentors, T2 MMR Hammer, T2 Pirate Javelin
Saving up EC to buy a T2 Revenant the next time it pops up in the Black Market instead of dropping the 6M to upgrade. I'm also slowly picking up other T2 gear as it hits the BM for other experiments.

Poopface what is a Revenant? Do you mean Ravager? Also our forum linguistic set up will autofill Ravana if you only abbreviate it as R a v. Yeah, Mangler Nelly has a tactical learning curve, that includes not making positioning and jump choices that rely on support from teammates. I see youre experimenting with modifications, so I have no input on that other than the mod suggestions I laid out previously. As long as it is fun and you feel your builds are producing good combat performance, unless of course you sometimes just do a troll build such as Beacon Tormentor Mite.

It was a brain fart. I’ve been watching some videos on YouTube and reading the Discord. From what I can tell, some builds that work well at T3 aren’t quite there at T2 or below. Some if the benefits you get from extra mobility as the boosts stack up at T3 aren’t there below that so I’ve had to make some interim changes. |

Yes, my input for equipment mods is accepted t3 optimizations. Since that is what we work towards and can build up relatively quickly, it is best to be careful about what we invest ec into upgrading; upgrading things we won’t likely use at t3 slows the production of optimal builds. |

I don’t disagree with you, but I’m not in any rush to get max gear. I’m dabbling to try to find what I enjoy.
Additionally, I have had instances where I can’t get it done with Manglers. Other weapons give me ways to solve that problem.

Other weapons give me ways to solve that problem. Sorry, I didn’t so much mean a rush to max, but that in the process of devoting ec, if theres too much dispersal to things you wont use as you get above 1200 trophies, its better not to spend. Also, keep in mind that the more ec you accumulate from not using it so much, you will have plenty to buy t3 items, especially rarities like t3 titans and certain key weapons and upgrades that are used on optimized builds. As for Manglers not being enough, this is to do not just with power or good aim, but the best set up on them for stripping a lot will be MMMR. Curious which other weapons you are referring to that get the job done that Manglers dont? |

Curious which other weapons you are referring to that get the job done that Manglers dont? I have circumstances where I can’t getting close enough for Manglers to get the job done and/or I get stripped trying to get to/from the target in circumstances where I’m unable to get the drop on them. I use my Manglers on the Mite and Shon because for each of them have the ability to be sneaky and quick to close the distance to target and locked down to apply damage and get back to cover. With Nelly and Ravager, I have been unable to have similar results. I don’t do nearly as well with Nelly for ambushing and spend a lot of time coming over an obstacle to be able to apply damage and/or get back to cover afterward. Currently I have stings equipped. I’m not stripping guns, but I have had a lot more circumstances of success where I am able to peak over or around an obstacle, unload a salvo, and get back quick to avoid much if any damage. Previously with the mangler’s, I would start peeking around an obstacle and then have to completely bring the guns to bear before I could start shooting. That was a lot longer time to target causing me to take a beating. In the case of Ravager, it’s more elusive, but thus far has not been able to take a punch. I’m getting stripped easily. Part of that is because I have not been able to take it to T2 yet. Because it is squishier, for now it has Tormentors. It might stay that way. It might not. Gives me the ability to hit some robots with shorter range guns. Before those guns, it was free EC for reds. |

Yeah, Tormentor Hammer Ravager is pretty versatile that way and allows you to hit Cormorants as well. In lower tiers Sting Nelly is a great option for reason you mentioned. If you run it against mostly t3 opponents, when its finally t3 you want to run an UL Nelly with either all A or all JC. This makes your Nelly really difficult to get at. |

You done a superman leap onto an airborne Cormorant yet? Emp in flight, they drop, you keep em grounded. Especially epic when leaping from mountain tops or off dreadnought wreckages. Your video was great. Try not to crawl in front of the Inquisitor cannon though lmao |

As far as the cannon, I'm having troubles staying away from them. Best I can do is just try to stay close. I've started trying to take out their legs shortly after the side guns just to give me a little more of a chance vs them.

Yeah, as you can see, crawling on the Tirp complicates your ability to line up hits, and endangers you to their top weapon, and flanking fire, which inevitably took you out. You got the idea though, stay under its wings and hugging its legs until you can emp and back away to hit the Inquisitor. If you stay grounded, you have better mobility and can be evasive of flanking fire without issue. This is actually why I previously mentioned a Shon being a bit superior to the Mite in this regard - agility coming largely from being grounded, whereas the Mite sometimes clings to objects in such a way that complicates mobility and strike tactics. |

Eradicator1 & Poopface, you can access a variety of squad and time drops at the following locations: Swarm of Knaves [SoK] discord.gg/9ZSB5wuSkdAlso the Good Gamers Coalition via the BoT official Discord server section on merc recruitment center has a link to their own server and runs time drops on Fridays and maybe some other time. In the BoT discord there is also a squads channel.

I used to find it fun to do, sorta trolling them, until one day, because of the awkwardness of being on top of the Tirp, I ended up in front of the Inquisitor and it blew me to smithereens lmao. Never climbed on on again |

Next match should get me to 10M EC. Planning to activate VIP service for a few days to cut the upgrade costs way down.
Separately: ATLAS is a bull「dookie」 robot in need of a speed nerf.

Done! Just took 4 Stings to T3, equipped with Reinforced Ammo (added T2 reinforced ammo to all making them MMRR) on the Nelly. Also took two Manglers on my Shon to T3 and also added extra RAs making them MMRR as well.
I am now completely broke with under 100k EC. Hoping to take more guns to T3 over the next few days as I only got the el cheapo VIP.

Poopface hey sry, dont login here much these days. Congrats on the upgrades. Tell me again what your Nelly build is? When I run Stings, I do UL T3 jump capacitor Nelly these days, and well, it really pisses people off to no end, lmao, cuz its difficult to catch me as I keep hitting them with homing missiles. Reminds me of the good ol’ days trolling the hell out of people with Spydra Griffin, Hydra Spectre, and Hydra Bulgasari. I love trolling, but in BoT its not enough to troll and be ineffective damage wise, such as a Beacon (RRRR) Tormentor (AAAA) Mite. Its fun shooting that fast, but pretty worthless otherwise. So you gotta find more effective trollers. JC Sting Nelly is one. Another way to troll, a favorite of mine, lmao, is I sneak around in Mite or Shon and just see how many enemies legs I can cripple

Its a UL jump capacitor Nelly. Unfortunately, only T2. My only T3 Titan is my Shon. I’ve been trying to get my guns to T3 first followed by certain weapon upgrades (reinforced ammo in particular). Slowly coming along. Still need to take one Javelin and both Fulgurs from Mite+Shon to T3. |

This is always awesome. I did already briefly mention mountains in discord, but for me the most epic Mite moments are when Corms don’t know youre there as they comb the mountains on either map, then you use an edge of terrain for extra leaping power and superman launch off the top of a mountain and land on them, emp, and they fall down down down down, unhappy with themselves, and they often rage quit a match over it lmao |
