Ran a few matches on the test server with a dash module strider.... and WOAH lol !! Ladies and gentlemen, this thing is gonna be insanely fun. Don't get me wrong, I'm a strider fan going way back. But I haven't ran a strider in quite a while and now it may make a permanent return to my hangar after this module hits the live server. Just for reference in this GIF, a Hawk is racing me to center on the red team (and the Hawk got another flight speed boost). I smoked that hawk like it was nothing. This module will put loki's out of business as a first beacon capper.

Nice. Thanks for the video. Can’t wait to try this on one of my Striders. Might even make it back to first drop bot.

What are the specs on the module? It looks like it has a 6 second cooldown, do you have to use both dashes in that time or can you save one for later? Man, if every 6 secs you get 2 dashes plus the dash recharge every 10 secs this thing will be zipping all over the place; and something that will finally drain my 100k+ PC store.

Man, if every 6 secs you get 2 dashes plus the dash recharge every 10 secs this thing will be zipping all over the place; and something that will finally drain my 100k+ PC store. You can save 2 of them. So between those two module dashes recharging and the 5 Strider ability dashes rechargung, you get them back quick. Here's the TS specs...

If the powercell cost is 20 or more this will be the most expensive module in the game.

If the powercell cost is 20 or more this will be the most expensive module in the game. It probably will be. I'd say there's a slim chance it'll be 10 PC, but 20 fits the trend in PC costs. With the 8 second cooldown, and that being shortened by dodger skill, man oh man it'll be tough on the green crack supply.

Try it with the jump module. Which one will get you there faster?

Try it with the jump module. Which one will get you there faster? The dash module will because it gives you two charges. Jump is only one charge. And when you jump there's a second delay while you land before you can start running again.

And these can be put on any bot, so we’ll have jumping Leos and dashing Fujins? ? ? ?

No, no, nooooooooooooooo
Natasha has only one measly module slot. Here go my dreams for the poor man’s hawk ?
The old lady is dashing enough already. But a double jump....

5 dashes + 2 dashes (Dash Unit) + Dodger (quicker availability of 2 dashes) + quicker renewed ability dashes (with ability cooldown boosters) + an extra dash (Clever Survivor at hp threshold) + and extra 2 dashes from Dash Unit at hp threshold (Foolhardy Quartermaster) =

<snip> This module will put loki's out of business as a first beacon capper. Hmmm, but what about Loki with Dash module? Interesting race there. Though I like the idea of Loki with Jump as well, especially on maps like Canyon and Moon

Loki jumping at full ludicrous-Benny Hill speed will most likely crash the servers and allow the use of time travel

Though I like the idea of Loki with Jump as well, especially on maps like Canyon and Moon As of now on the test server, the Strider wins it clearly. But I was checking this on the TS without boosts so it might be close on the biggest maps where 7 dashes won't get you there and the loki has speed boost. I bet it'll come down to whether you pull off a super dash on big maps like Yama and Springfield.

...and just after the gif ended, a scorpion teleported in behind you, killed you and took the beacon. Now that is gonna be fun. Not.

Correct, in Champ League where Scorpion proliferates, using up all your dashes to get to a beacon is not the smartest idea, and certainly trying to get to the principal beacon first with running mechs will soon be seen as a fools errand, as first assault Scorpion tactics are already being discussed. I’m looking forward to the challenge. But for Strider, it will require even more skill to evade and take on Scorpions.

Ran a few matches on the test server with a dash module strider.... and WOAH lol !! Ladies and gentlemen, this thing is gonna be insanely fun. Don't get me wrong, I'm a strider fan going way back. But I haven't ran a strider in quite a while and now it may make a permanent return to my hangar after this module hits the live server. Just for reference in this GIF, a Hawk is racing me to center on the red team (and the Hawk got another flight speed boost). I smoked that hawk like it was nothing. This module will put loki's out of business as a first beacon capper. I see a distinct need for an AC module on this little guy and possibly a maxed one. You do NOT want to be made to sit still.

You are all overlooking the Dashing Bulwark. Mwangi cuts the recharge time by 40%...
Dash every 4.5 seconds.

Nice! I kinda lost interest in the Dash module when I realized that I could not Dash in midair in a Hover!
I don't have a Strider, but whoa, that's a lot of dashes! So technically, you can use the module on Kumiho, Haechi and Bulgasari to give them more dash eh? Hmm... now I'm interested again.

Definitely going this route with the iOS Strider... and prolly Jump on my Raykers on both accounts. Suppression makes the jump a little safer and allows for some quick escapes on maps like Carrier where changing your level can completely change your threats and targets. Canyon too... just not as much.
Do custom games take up powercells if you use them there?

So my fantasy of dashing from the apex of a jump is crushed ? Actually I don't know. I didn't test it. I did have a jump module on a ravana for a couple matches and you can hit jump during trancendence and that ravana sails way further than a normal jump. I'm sure they've looked at whether it makes sense on a bot by bot basis. Jump dashes would be cool for postioning for sure!
