What's everyone's thoughts on quad Rupture? The rationale is that this bot needs cover to survive, but has the necessary speed and size to duck in and out. The tactic would be to start in cover and:
Heal>disposal>leave cover>unload>return to cover>repeat
This way, you're only exposing your noodle momentarily and not having to multitask.
The issue with retaliators is that while it beats MG AMs, you won't be able to go toe to toe with Arthurs.

I had a bunch of Pt saved up and brought hull and core up to 30 each over the 10% savings weekend. Huge difference. It can take a beating, so no need to be to careful with it. I am running 2 ruptures and 2 retaliators for now, but will start switch to tazers as soon as I can get some.

with Hull and Core at 30/50, Noodles has no longer wet noodle, but a stiff boner. bring it.

I've hit my War Robots spend limit for this month so upgrades are gonna have to wait til June... keen on trying quad Ruptures though. I watched a comparison video amd a L1 Rupture is apparently equivalent to a L8 Exodus

I like Ruptures but I don't have four. While reloading, it's pretty underwhelming tho - more of a high burst, get to cover and reload (for a long time). Maybe 2 for burst and your other 2 the retaliaters/cyclone for sustain damage while you reload your rockets.

The issue with retaliators is that while it beats MG AMs, you won't be able to go toe to toe with Arthurs. The MGs, on paper, still give out the highest damage. About 4 times the cycle damage, and nearly 10 times the DPS. The reload time of the rupture is pretty high. If the ruptures were a 600m range the trade off might be worthwhile. This is why the plasma Mings are so OP. They have air superiority, PLUS the 600m range. At least the MGs do double damage to physical shields. Although with Arthur and his one million plus shield it's still a task.

My noodles is maxed with 2 maxed antimatter reactors, 2 maxed plated armor and 4 maxed retaliators. Definitely a game changer! After dropping my noodles I've been able to turn around a losing game many times. I have noticed that if you link to a blue who doesn't need healing your noodles will NOT heal either although it does get resistance

I just started leveling my engine today. I'm so glad I saved my Pt for Nodens. As you can see, I have the Core and Hull up to 21. I started leveling the Engine today. I probably should've started sooner. I usually save Suppression for AM , but sometimes it's just fun to suppress a large group of closely-packed Reds. Sometimes I can finish a bot off with my Suppression/Disposal Blast. It looks kind of like Arthur's Death Fart when it goes off around terrestrial bots. I think any bot within 50m gets suppressed. The extra power is going to be helpful. I've had a few matches where I've been Supporting other Noodles. I try to get as many tentacles out as possible because it allows me to withstand more fire and do more damage. I try to drop Noodles in every battle, even if it's just a few seconds. Sometimes it makes sense to drop early to change the course of battle or at least tip the scales and follow up with my leftover bots. It's best to drop where you can see allies. I dropped on the hill on Power Plant and within seconds, I had 5 Reds all around me. I put up a good fight, but without support I had no chance. I could send out my tentacles, but the Reds surrounding me were covered by the buildings around the hill so my teammates on the other side of the map were of no help. Initially, juggling shooting, suppression and support was nerve-wracking but it's become a lot easier and more fun. I do miss launching Reds with Arthur's Death Fart though.

I have 3 cyclones and one retaliator...hoping for a fourth. Biggest issue is taking out Arthurs.

Shoved an Arthur off the center beacon on Yam yesterday. It was near the end of the match and we had been holding two beacons for about 5 minutes since the Reds took our left beacon. The Reds began challenging the center beacon because my teammates(all of them) were busy trying to recapture the other. I had been holding center beacon with my Tyr since I had recaptured it by going down the left and clearing the Reds on my own. Luckily there were only two Reds at center at the time. Once my I lost my Tyr, I saw two more Reds making for center. I dropped my Noodle and slowly made my way up the ramp. The beacon turned Red just as I reached the top as Arthur cleared the ramp. So I figured I'd give 'em a shove. My Nodens is level 50(Hull and Core at 21 and engine at level 8) I just kept pushing and firing until the beacon turned blue and a few seconds more Arthur was a pile of rubble. Down to the final seconds, we were losing until we had 3 beacons and the Reds started dropping out. We won by a sliver of health. I didn't think I could survive a one on one point blank with an Arthur, but it happened and I had 1/3 health remaining.

So I thought I'd give it a try. I haven't leveled it at all and I slapped my PAKs on it for good measure. It's pretty interesting, but it's difficult to maneuver in tight spaces 'cuz you can't see the tentacles. It does have good firepower even with 4 level 1 Retaliators. Support works really well, but I haven't figured out Disposal yet. It's still going through puberty because it doesn't last very long. It is unique enough that I can see it being fun to play with. I've already gotten a couple of kills with it, so it's not useless. I've only seen 2 other Noodles in battle so I don't know how popular it may become. I'll keep at it and let you know how it goes. Tell me your Noodle story. This is probably the single best thread title , ever! This needs an award or something ??

Now my Noodle is GODLIKE! Even though I had a couple kills stolen from me, I still got Godlike. It's still only level 54 with stock weapons. The two maxed PLK plus one level 1 PLK keeps my Noodle in the air.

Because of it's extensive support abilities, as opposed to a "soak up damage and shoot stuff" model, there's a lot of value in upgrading the actual bot instead of concentrating solely on the modules.
Problem is, the modules are transportable. I'm not fully convinced that I want to invest my hard earned Pt into the bot. Yet.

I maxed my Modules first because I wasn't decided on which Titan I wanted to use, but after playing with my Noodle for a couple of weeks I decided to stick with it. In my opinion, nothing beats my Noodle.

I'm at 4% healing now (nearly 40/50), and it's crazy how quick it heals other Titans. Core upgrades are tbeway to go.

Ho. Lee. Cow.
I just ran the maths to max out the hull/core/engine of Noodles.
3428 PER section. So over 10K total.
And that doesn't include weapons. 4x Retaliators 1078 each.
Plus modules. Asuuming 2x AR at 1080 each (Hi Def, lol) and 2x PA also 1080 each.
Total cost....... 18,916 Pt. Dayum.

Now level 60; Hull and Core at 25 and Engine at 10. I just had a match on Moon which used my Noodle in the way it was intended. Sure, Nodens is a power unto itself, but its real strength lies in support. In the last few minutes of the battle we were down 2 to 3 and the Reds were contesting our right-hand beacon. I dropped my Noodle on the beacon as two Reds appeared. We had a Ming to theirs. I supported him as I splashed their Ming and we dealt with the other Red. I headed towards our home beacon as Reds were coming around the other side and under the bridge. My teammates began dropping Arthurs one by one. 3 Arthurs, 1 Ming and 1 Nodens. As I dispatched the Red attacking our beacon, I remained to fire under the bridge at the legs of a Ming and two other Reds I couldn't see while tethering to our Titans. Our Arthurs went over the top to the left and I followed, not before dispatching a second Ming. As we reached the beacon, the Reds were down to two. Our one Ming was on the far right. I reached the Red home beacon with an Arthur at my side. I killed the final red as the last beacon turned Blue.
As long as Mings cannot retreat out of range of standard Titan weapons, they're just as vulnerable or even more so than the rest. The Moral here is a team relying solely on air superiority is bound to fail, if the other team uses teamwork well. F AM! Long live my Noodle!

I wonder what the abilities do when two Noodles are tethered. The biggest difficulty I have is staying near or behind my teammates when I go on the attack. It's not very safe swinging your Noodle all alone when you could easily be surrounded by Reds.

I have mine fitted with quad rupture (got titan and two rupture from titan box). Stock MG may be slightly better than rockets but the rockets unload very quick, do lots of damage and then take a long time to reload. I feel this fits with the support role nicely as you have time to shoot, surpress and heal. The other weopons require you to keep shooting the target and therefore detract from your ability to also support.

I can't ever aim at the poor 「illegitimate child」 far away who needs some Noodles in his butt. It's always the dudes near by..?

It takes a little longer to lock on to 'mates farther afield. It usually jumps between the closest bots, but if I stop moving and aim at other blues I can usually get them. It's kind of a pain because it makes you more of a target. It's also more difficult to tether to Mings right above you. The same goes for choosing a specific target for suppression. I usually target Mings because they're better able to move out of range, but the targeting likes to attach to terrestrial bots and those nearer to you. It's still good fun when the Reds are clustered together and you can suppress 4 or 5 at once.
