Is anyone using this combination with success? The pilot skill decreases incoming damage instead of deploying the Aegis shield. I don't know the stats for the decrease but it doesn't seem like much. The Blitz is only lvl 8 so I'm not expecting a lot at this point. If this sucks at higher level I would like to know now so I don't invest time in this pilot.
thanks,

I’ve just got mine going recently and it a beast. Didn’t have a blitz before getting Clive, so not sure on a comparison, but I love this yoke. It’s a little monster. Pretty much invulnerable when the ability is on. You do have to watch titans, but you can suppress them.
It is my strongest bot and the only one I can consistently use to take out multiple redz.

Dang that is a lot of DR. I guess I'll put the time in to him. Thanks! |

I'm in the same boat with it being my first Blitz. So far, it gets a beat down pretty quick but like I said its only Lvl 8 and have lvl 9 Gust on it. I definitely need to level him and the equipment. thanks, |

Yeah the DR is 900 defense points... or about 90% DR.
Like was said, against Titans that have so much DR mitigation, it's pointless, but against most everything else (except corrosion weapons and mid to highly leveled Cryo) it's very effective.

Also running 2.4 magnums, they are always on and and always doing damage. I keep on getting into little kill frenzies. Constant pew, pew, pew, kill, kill, kill. Half the time I don’t even know what I’m shooting, any red hit box will do. Biggest issue is remembering to disengage and forgetting that I have already used the deft survivor. I should probably try my last stand on it, that is bound to be worth a few more dead redz ? |

I thought the same thing and it's true to a point, but not completely. The DR mitigation is only 100% on Alpha weapons and Beta weapons on a Kid or Noodles with the additional DR mitigation Core upgraded to level 41 or higher. Most low level titans don't reach full levels of DR mitigation which is important because if someone has an average of (let's just say for argument's sake) 80% DR mitigation, then the remaining defense points would be 180 and would leave the Blitz with a DR of 64% which is still really freaking good. Add in the extremely small hit box of the Blitz and it's still a really good bot to have around Titans. The biggest dangers are rockets and the Scourge class Titan weapons which either have splash or don't miss. Otherwise, I'm finding this little guy can even hang against the Titans in a pinch. |

I think that build is carving a nice little niche out. Actually considering this for my Ardent Blitz. Keeping my Sparks for the OG Blitz though. |

OK, really good to know... I definitely agree about anti-Titan opportunities... I get that even with my old antiquated Aegis shield as long as I can suppress them and not get caught in a crossfire. The speed added to that small hitbox is definitely helpful... for a time, at least. |

I thought all titans bypass DR? Are u saying it’s only Kid and Nodens or that only they can achieve a full 100% |

It’s a bit of a menace right now. Without the aegis it’s harder to tell when ability is active other than the speed so I’ve wasted shots on them. And unlike Ravana it DOES NOT need constant PCs to fight.
Little buggers are a PITA for me.

Makes it pretty easy once u start paying attention for it. |

I find the rocket one the worst in the blitz, one hit of a marked one of those just about ends me. One even got me in cover with the splash. But it is only the maxed ones, regular ones peal away HP but at a survivable rate if you are near cover. |

Makes it pretty easy once u start paying attention for it. I’m not a fan of how they identify these things with those stacks of tiny symbols, especially vs a crazy fast little bot like blitz. Needs a visual effect IMO. Leech repulse is hard to see and tell which direction it’s going but there is something to indicate ability emanating from the bot. |

But it is only the maxed ones, regular ones peal away HP but at a survivable rate if you are near cover. Beta weapons do too... but start at a lower value. Retaliators have 50% at level 1 (negates 50% of an opponents DR) while Vengence has 75%. Maxed Retaliators have 75% and Vengence maxes at 100%. I believe it is like that for all Beta and Alpha weapons, respectively. It is still dangerous to attack a Nodens with 4 Betas though... so one can't assume that they are a pushover. EDIT: Kids have a DR mitigation bonus attribute if you upgrade the Core component... starts at 5 % for level 1 Core and goes to 33% at level 50 Core. So, that could push a maxed Kid's Retaliators over the 100% DR Mitigation mark. |

You probably have a spare Kid lying around if you aren't still using it. Check the Core component and you'll see something that says "additional defense mitigation". This adds to whatever your weapons already possess. Alpha weapons max out at 100% and start at 75%, but Beta weapons max at 75% and start at 50%. If you want the Betas to reach 100%, they have to be on a Kid/Noodles. |

Finally, somebody mentioned what I've been thinking on this subject for a while now. The Pantheon bots get this HUGE purple indicator reminding me not to shoot at them. I think that half of Leeches true power is "confusion." You just don't know quickly during the Fog of Battle who's leechin' who. For now I guess we have to assume that if a Bltiz is chargin' at you all angry-like, his ability is active. |

Saw a lovely YT from Chief running it in FFA - really is good when paired with (a) good weapons, and (b) good skillz - both of which I am sadly lacking xD |

I don’t know if there is a definitive answer and it usually comes down to individual tolerance for gold spend and skill training/promotion to ditch Clive. Aegis has some benefits like avoiding effects and less vulnerable to DR bypass from hawks, titans, etc. and you can stack fortifiers. But it doesn’t regenerate like on other bots and catches all kinds of extra flack. If I hadn’t dumped a ton of gold into Clive and didn’t have to level multiple skill tiers in a new pilot I might go with standard blitz. But as I own a leveled Clive I’m more likely to bench my blitz if the nerf is too much rather than incur the costs of a new pilot. Clive made blitz really, really good - I’m not sure any blitz build is at the same level now. Quarker and shredder nerf are also an indirect blitz nerf. |

I have both and have kept Clive in my main hanger (w generic pilot in fun hanger on occasion). The main reason for me is gold costs to switch. I have both RH at T4 and that is one FAST bot. It really is OP w the Shred/Quark I have on it now. If they get nerfed too hard, I’ll go back to Blaze/Rime which will be better vs Shell anyway. Keep on keepin on |

Your best bet is to ditch the Blitz, and git gud with Strider, a far superior beacon capper and defender of justice! IMHO, anyways..... .......cheaper, too!  |

Clive is more useful if Demeter gets OP as many will start using shield breaker.
