I am looking for suggestions for beacon capping builds. Yes I already searched, and yes this search engine lacks userability. Your favorite builds would be welcome.

I use all my bots, even my Arthur, as beacon cappers. That being said, playing dom and br, I drop my Nightingale first, and rush it to the center beacon. It is not the first to reach there, but it can support other blueberies until it is captured. My second drop in the said modes is my blitz, and it is fast as hell for 10 seconds during the ability use. For both bots, my pilots have the roadhog skill (6.5% speed boost). With the jump module, and the adamant roadhog, these bots will be even more efficient in capturing beacons (just not as effective in the game openning though). I consider the phantom and loki are the best beacon capper early game and late game, respectively.

other honorable mentions, not necessarily strong but fast as hell, are strider, kumiho hellburner and pursuer upon activating their respective abilities.

I only play BR and I’ve tried all the fast builds for capping. The most effective by far is Scourge/Spark Stellar Phantom with Advanced Heal, Last Stand, Battle Born, Anti-Control and Roadhog pilot skill. Almost always first to CB and can withstand a ton of damage once it gets there. Highly recommend.

 Guaranteed to attract 3-4 Reds to chase you off your 2nd or 3rd Beacon |

I usually run a Persuer with Ariadne, Foolhardy Quartermaster, Deft survivor, Anti Control, Cloaking, Last stand, Phase, double Shredder, single Quarker, a drone with T2 suppressor, lockdown, freeze, and a partridge in a pear tree.

Phantom. Gets there fast and can survive a while with an active ability. Often good for capping one beacon only as it can be difficult to extract if over-extended. Better in early game as they die quickly to Titans.
Pursuer - Fast and sneaky. Relies on finesse.
Blitz. Not as fast as some of the others but can be really good at letting the reds get to the beacon first then brutalizing them and taking it back. I’ve come across a lot of 4 x shredder builds recently and they are very strong.
Nightingale. can cross huge distances and grab undefended beacons. Can be loaded to give it a strong DPS burst or equipped with mid range weapons for longer game play. Healing helps keep your team keep the beacons.
Strider - super finesse. Is very squishy if you let more than 1 red engage you at a time Fastest bot over a shirt distance in the game.
Ravana - Transcendence lets you get there and the bucket of HP lets you stay there. However you can lose beacons if you use Transcendence too much.
Loki - tricky part is timing. If you can get it out there when there are no Yang Lee AJs you can cap beacons forever. QS can harsh your mellow too.
Tyr. Surprisingly fast and you can wedge it into the center beacon and hold it against a determined rush. Providing you have some Blues supporting you, you turn what are normally hotly contested center beacons into fortresses. It’s survivability also allows you to go forward and cap other beacons when a red wave fails .
Ao Jun. The flights gives it so e serious legs and its ability can wreck a lot of the early game beacon cappers, If the reds get pinned on the beacon you come in and roast them out. More of a counter-capper than a true beacon capper.
Mobile bunkers with jump module. Bulwark and Fenrir in particular. Get onto a beacon and then hold it against wave after wave of reds. On smaller maps the jump should be enough to get you to the next beacon too.

Raven can get to a second beacon faster than some bots get to the first, and arrives with good firepower and durability.
