Surprising Build.... Could this be in the meta ?!!??

I saw AYGIR do this with a Bulwark Thunder setup. It's REALLY nice actually and I personally would love to try it if I owned the robot and the pilot.

PS. Please don’t call it meta. Don’t want the pix gods nerfing my favorite robot. ?

Initial caveat. Manni and Adrian often show off builds they can do well with, but they have unlimited max level equipment and are using big screen emulators with mouse aiming. Then they run their stuff against regular hangers with players using tablets or phones.

I’ve been running one for a month now. It’s pretty beastly.

- The reset timer for the ability starts as soon as you punch the Jump button, so from when you land it takes about 7 seconds to recharge again if you have Tobias. It really mitigates the worst weakness of the Bully - lack of speed.
- I only have 2 non-maxed fortifiers but even with that it boosts the shields to a useful level. Without the fortifiers you die quickly. With the fortifiers you have a degree of survivability against multiple reds or Titans.
- the jump allows you to evade people who get inside your aegis shield.

Without the Legendary Pilot and fortifiers the Bully is way behind the power curve.

I’m running mine with vipers, and this set up allows you to stand in the open and deliver full clips into the reds and use the jump to get into cover for the reload if needed. I am thinking of swapping over to redeemers for a test. Nucleons are another choice, but my nucleons are in service on other bots.

I would love to build one but it’s expensive in gold because of the stupid pilot rework. I counted 4 skills I need on it plus the pilot plus 2 Fortifiers. It’ll cost about 21k au altogether.

What do they care when they have 4 other clone bots equally as powerful ready to load up if you happen to take out 1. 

The name of the game is bum rush any weaker opponents and gather enough juice to fill up the Titan bar.....

I'm running PS on my Redeemer Bully...this might be much more useful...and make Tobias worth the investment. Would suck to have to retrain a brand new pilot when mine is already max level though.

Definitely gonna try it out.

I am using glacier jumping Bullwark since jump module is out (no, that's a small lie, I used shieldbraker a first few weeks) without Tobias though.

Great setup. Jump gets you to places faster and helps as an evasive manouever (think Blitz). Double Nucleon might be even better but I am not leveling that.

Jump works really well on some bots. I'm finding it great on Pursuer.

I used to run a variety of modules, but the Jump module is exponentially better than PS when combined with Tobias. It takes the cooldown from 20 seconds to 12, but since the first 3 or 4 seconds of the cooldown you are in the air performing the jump it effectively becomes an 8 second cooldown.

Defensively it gets you the hell out of dodge, and as long you can keep your positional awareness, backwards jumping can save you better than PS. If you back jump into the wall, well I feel your pain brother. I’ve done a lot of jumps put of a bad situation where the aegis shield protected me long enough to get into cover near some friendly blues.

Offensively it gets your bully to where it is needed PDQ.on a map like Dead City you get halfway across the map in one jump. I’ve been able to jump forward and steal the Red’s home beacon on Dead City/Factory/ Power Plant and then jump away out of the hotzone before the Red respawners come rushing in. Also it can function like a regular jump for targeting lurkers in cover, but I don’t think that’s a good use of powercells.

I’d almost consider running with 2 x fortifiers and 1 Cloaking unit. Just to mess with the people who finally get through your shields only to cause them to lose lock-on.

Pursuer is a beacon grabbing robot with jump. It covers ground super fast.

Yes, all the way! Bully is one of those bots that is only decent at base level, but for every bit of resources you put into it you get a good amount of extra strength from it. Put on base fortifiers, a decent pilot and level the bot and weapons to 9 and it becomes brutal.

Then if you take it a step further it becomes a BEAST. Honestly my favorite way to describe bully is a resource compareable bot. If you have tons of resources to pump into him then you can make him powerful. If you have a small amount it won't do too well, and it scales in between.

I built one. Maxed Tobias with all T4 6 HP/shield/speed skills and Mechanic, maxed Bulwark with one LVL 6 Fortifier (the other 2 are LVL 1), along with LVL 10 Nucleons.

Combat monster and capable of super fast transport, but has 2 critical weaknesses: Point blank foes cannot be hit, as Bulwark's guns tilt down into the body and deal no damage, and Scorpion. Sure, you can juke them if your jump is ready (feels good pointing your legs backwards and literally leapfrogging them) but if they catch you with your pants down, you're toast. Past Jump, you have no evasive methods. I don't even wanna know how screwed Bulwark is with the Drones update. Turned my back on War Robots after that garbage fire got pushed to Live.

They've got some nerve making a hugely expensive money-sink that needs both permanent resources (Ag/Au) and temporary or optional resources (Power Cells) at the same time. And the cost of these microchips, and the amount of them required to be fused together before they can be upgraded to a completely random other type of chip, not to mention there's FIVE of them?

Nah, not for me. Jumping bully with close range weapons maybe alright but I run avengers with sharpshooter. I have an Adrian Chong pilot with 8 skills, none of which are modules expert. The cost to switch would be too much to have a go at it.  But hey if you want to make your griffin-like bully more raven like get this microchip. 



I run this on my bully with the lock down ammo module and 3 supressor microchips. It's good on the long rang maps.

When War Robots 101 intro to basic tactics are considered new. The state of War Robots 2020. The peek a boo my God mode ability is ready has really dumbed down the game.
