I finished up the Hades in the WS, got it to 1.9. I currently have it set up with Viper/Marquese. Both are also 1.9. I have a whatever pilot there, no skills yet. I am wondering what others run for fun. I am not a fan of the peek-a-boo style so I looked around and some say Viper/Shredder. I have 1 shredder and can WS a 2nd. But running it now with the solo Viper, meh. Doesnt seem to do so much. Maybe I need to level it up? I also have 1 quaker and 1 nucleon, both 1.9 but with the nerf hammer coming, not sure what I wanna do there. This would be my 3rd bot to drop behind the Tyr and Cerberus so I am not expecting to run around wrecking reds. Any loadout advice from Hades folks would be greatly appreciated.

Mine has Nucleon & 2 Quarkers, at 2/6, the Nucleon 2/4 and Quarkers 1/10 so getting to be quite useful. By far the worst feature is the shield not lasting very long and the gun only firing after the shield has been active a second or two. If you don`t lock them down everyone moves out the way before the gun fires. Also, it only fires 3 times so you try to get all 3 shots on target but then the shield drops instantly and you`re still in the line of fire.

Even with nerf Nucleon will stay ahead of the rest ( of existing weapon sets) for a good while, Definitely better investment than viper.

If you tap the activation button again, the gun fire sooner, just like the Ares. |

I've got kind of a goofy setup on my Hades...Glacier & two Rimes, usually fourth drop, so I can get out and try to ice down Titans and maybe catch a beacon or two. The rockets are just 300m range, which means I have to be very mobile and careful, and save the shield for getting out of trouble, but I have engaged it just to get the cannon on low-health targets out to 500m. I've knocked a Ming down that way before.
I wanted to do a Tempest/Molot build for it, still might sometime, but it's a just-for-fun build and low on the priority list.

I'm going to build a Hades soon once I'm done with the Fenrir and put my Bio Nucleon on it.
I think one really popular setup for the Hades is Nucleon paired with either Quarkers or Shredders.

I run Leadhose with 2 stock Overdrive units and stock Nuclear reactor. Pilot skills are Road hog, Armor expert and Mechanic.
Hades really makes those punishers shine, it's a Titan killer. Has a decent ground speed and changes direction really fast, so it's good in CQC also.
But let's be honest, it has a purple dress, it's gonna be strong with anything lol.
I love mine, i think it's the strongest not i have

Funny, I forgot that I had a well-leveled Avenger. Running up some Punishers wouldn't take long at all. I might have to try this. |

If you're F2P, I'd say since you already have the Viper, then try to get Shredders for the light weapon mounts. When I still played the game, I liked running this build or even Avenger/Shredder or even Avenger/Punisher. The advantage of energy weapons lets you shoot through Anciles, and the kinetic build lets you break shields pretty fast. Hades isn't a brawler anymore, so you really need to adopt the peek-a-boo playstyle. Anyone worth their salt uses this tactic. Unless you beef up your bot with HP buffs, all bots need to be played like this.

Nucleon shredders with a supressor chip. Absolutely kills. Oh and it brawls just fine 😎

I've been running Nucleon/Quarker Hades for ages now. It's consistently one of, if not the most effective bot I have. The ability, when maxed, takes a notable amount of damage off reds. Shield is the perfect balance of duration and reload, bot isn't too slow and a heavy, light, light do good damage.
I've recently switched to the jump module (on all my pantheons) after a vid by either Manni or Chong. It negates the scorpions and ambushed in general.

I run Redeemer/Magnum. I treat the in built weapon as pure bonus and never plan on having it do anything. It does well, just is a bit boring to play for me so I don’t rotate it into active duty that often. Magnums are cheap and fast to uograde.

Because of Hawks I’ve been considering giving the Hades a try. I think Shredders plus some T2 lockdown chips would be quite handy. And then for the big slot I was thinking Nucleon.
Jump module sounds prudent as well.

Jump module sounds prudent as well. I am thinking the same. I’m only worried about shredder nerf since I have to get them new and upgrade... Regarding big slot, did you consider devastator ? Please update when you finalise your hades build. It will help me too 👍 |

Please update when you finalise your hades build. It will help me too 👍 Nerfs are always an issue. If you’re really patient you could wait until the end of Feb to see what nerfs/buffs actually hit the live server. The Devastator can hit hard but it’s short ranged. I prefer more versatile stuff like tasers and the electric machine guns. This doesn’t make me right, it’s just what I run. Over the years I look for the most bang-for-the-buck rather than chasing the current meta. It took me a long time to work Nucleon-type weapons into my hangar and at that they are just on my one Hawk. I’ll probably run 2 x Heavy Armor Kit, Last Stand, and PS or AH. Jump does sound enticing but I can’t be sure yet. Fwiw, I’m slowly building a Scatter and 2 Havocs but it’ll be about another month or so until they are ready for Champions League play. |

I’ve been running hades with quarker/nucleon as a Titan hunter and it is awesome. Get the rod hog pilot skills to make it faster for peek a boo playstyle. I was using phase shift but recently have been trying out death mark with the modular intensify drone chips.
I’ve seen people run it as a brawler with sonic weapons but I really like it for the mid range Titan hunting. I always drop it as my last bot when it’s mostly titans (and fewer hawk/scorpions) on the map.

Started with Avenger, made the switch.....  I’m very happy with my Imperial One. I use PS, and my drone gives increased firepower after coming out of phasing. This thing has always rocked it for me. |

Since both Nucleon and Shredder got a significant nerf I will run this setup instead (Once I level that calamity ofc). The Dragon Calamity I just got from the lunar new year event, and I already have some decently leveled Sparks from my unused Spark Ao Qin so ehh why not.  |

Do as you wish, but the nerfs to Nucleon and Shredder, although noticeable, seem pretty minor to me. My 1.9 Nucleon is weaker than the 2.4 Avenger I was running, but no reload has come handy more than once! The Shredders are missed a bit, but I still LD folks, and love LD Titans, then unloading until they take notice of me. |
