Playing with my Noodle

Both abilities are 600M.

Disposal has 75-100M AOE from Target. I have suppressed 3+ reds. Typically reserve this for leech/Ao Jun/Titan etc. 20s CD

The heals have 3s interval cooldown, so you can't spam them. They recharge 10s. The part I'm trying to figure out is if heals stack on one target rofl. I could never really tell because at lv1 was only 1%/s. I think duration is 7s but could be 5s. Aiming for the right blue gets tricky, it does add to your DR and heals you.

First upgrades were hull 8 and healing 12. About 500 PT. The stock MGs are fine.

Browncoats4ever: I hear when you tether-heal Blues it makes you tankier. And one guy was saying that when he tethered to a Titan he became super-tanky.

Don't use this ability against me. :-)

I have seen Youtube of the default/leveled machine guns laying waste to AMs.

Please report back with your thoughts. Have fun with your Ramen Titan. :thumbsup:

Nice!  You're a mean bad-butt.

Oh, leave your Noodle alone.  You'll go blind.

I was going to start a similar post and call it: ‘so...you like to multi-task eh?’ 
I’ve had my noodle for 10 days now, having saved 5000 platinum from when it was being given 30 per day ready for round 2 of the titans. Was it worth it? Well, as you can see from the picture it’s at level 76 [mostly core/hull] with stock weapons and 12% extra x 3 modules. So I’d say it’s about 50% of max. what can ‘she’ do? [my noodle is a she - it;s the long flowing entrails below her that does it]

1. The healing button had 3 dots by it. each time you press it one of the dots disappears. If you haven’t selected a blue bot to heal then only you get healed - 5% per dot. They reform quite quickly. You select a blue bot by facing it - waiting for a green thin box to appear around the bot, then hit the button - a green thread forms between you and the bot healing them [4.3% / second for my noodle, 5% when maxed] for 7 seconds [or so says the Wiki]. That’s quite a lot of healing power. You can select the same bot again for more healing. However, I’ve found if 2 blue bots are close together it seems the closer bot is the one locked onto, even if that bot has full health and the one behind it needs healing. That is frustrating at times. Currently, I find a nice location to ‘hide’ from Ao Ming, start scanning the horizon for blues in distress and ‘send the love’. It’s hilarious sometimes when the blue looks around as if to say, ‘why is my health going up?’ ‘I didn’t hit the green crack button, honest!’ Now here is the fun part. A few games with randoms this has changed the game. As I heal the team up, using the suppression [below] I’ve found the randoms can get bolder and push forward. A highlight was aiding a blue by healing/ suppressing his opponents to reclaim a key beacon. As the beacon turned blue it was a ‘yes!’ Moment. I’m sure my random blue colleague did a dance himself  

2. Suppression. This is ‘only’ 50%, and takes longer to recharge, or so it seems. Therefore I keep it in reserve for ‘when needed most’. Half the time when a red dares to come and attack me, I’ll suppress them and train my 4 x beta weapons on them. Many a standard bot beats a hasty retreat. It’s range of 600m is great. There is no ‘animation’ with it [such as a blitz] and just the ‘suppressed’ icon appears above a reds head that you are facing towards. The ‘arc’ is quite narrow, but at range will suppress a group quite well.

As a support bot, when levelled, it will be a game changer. Especially in squad, on coms. Ao Mings love it. Either for the healing it gives, or to try and kill it! The best use I’ve seen of it so far was hiding behind 2 Arthurs side by side up the ramp on Yamantau to reclaim the central beacon - no stopping them. 

Summary: If you like trying to do 3 things at once, this is your bot. If you are a good strategic player who can read an evolving battle well, then the noodle is the tool you need. After all, what does an Ao Ming do? : Look a blue - pow. look another blue - pow...yawn .
I’ve found my average damage and average reds killed has taken a dive as I spend more time on healing than blowing reds up...

Hi GZA,
Thanks for the reply and comments.

Hmm. If you aren’t wanting to spend gooodles of Real Money, then saving up to level a Noodle will take you months. 
The Kid when levelled is great and good weapons is great.  Enjoy!

Personally I’d enjoy the Kid and start saving the platinum to get a few thousand ready for the next Titan. So perhaps jump a generation. I’ve had months with no Titan in my hanger, and having Ao Ming’s rain death on me - Nice to turn the tables a little...for now. 
For me, I’ll spend the next few months free platinum on my gal, making her stronger and tougher. Then start saving for the ‘next’ titan. Who knows what Pixonic will come up with next...

The radius of the suppression is only 50m

Are you sure you mean 50m or 500m?

Ah, great. Sorry. That helps cheers.

In the right situation, even a level 3 Noodles can be a game changer. On Yam again, I deployed Noodles at our home beacon. The Reds had center beacon and I went through 3 bots trying to retake it. As providence would have it, my teammate had just spawned an Arthur. I decided to follow him around. On the way towards center, I had ample time to practice suppression and healing. A Red Arthur was hiding under the covered bridge to the right. Heal, suppression, shoot, heal, suppression and shoot meanwhile taking out standard bots trying to get past towards our home beacon. On the way up the ramp, I kept my eye and suppression on the Arthur. At the top, we killed another Arthur and a couple other Reds and took the center beacon. We held it for a minute or so while clearing Reds all around. Arthur decided to work his way down the covered bridge. I kept close beside him:heal, suppress, shoot all the way to the Red's side beacon. We took that beacon as well then we had a couple more Arthurs spawn there. At that point our bar was at nil, but we had four of five beacons and the Reds were down to 2. Noodles bit the big one and I dropped Raijin and took out a Falcon. My teammates held off the Reds until their health bar dropped to nil. I'm starting to lean towards concentrating on Noodles. I'll give it a few more days.

Triple Kill on Carrier...

One of my clan mates won one. It’s not even that leveled yet, but when we get a couple of our Arthurs marching with him at our back it’s an unstoppable wall.

  It's supposed to repair 5% of Noodles durability when repairing allies.  If I lose my allies, I use it to heal myself.

  I just took out an AM with stock Retaliators.  You still have to worry about getting smashed by Tsars.  You do get stronger, but you also have to maintain situational awareness.  Once the Reds see you, they'll go for you first.  If you can follow a couple of Arthurs, you can mow a path through the Reds, just watch your six.

I'm starting to get the hang of it. I'm taking out AMs and Arthurs, sometimes 2 a match. I'm getting triple kills fairly easily. You just have to know when and where to drop it. I came out top damage, healing and beacons in the same match. I leveled the Hull and Core to 17 so far. Sometimes my teammates are slow to make battlefield decisions so I have to take the lead. Of course, then I have to spin around to heal and spin back to suppress and attack. Noodles may be ugly, but he's fun to pilot.
