If you’re a beacon hound like me, then you spend a lot of time inside the beacon circles and you should know how to work the perimeter. Ive been practicing my “U dashes” or steering my charges to move multiple reds outside the circle. Under the right conditions it is very doable Spread the love Yeah, I love engaging the heavy target in front of me, knowing that yappie lil red Rava is behind me. Charge out that backwards box step, get the kill and finish the charge on the front target to take the beacon.

So i took mine for a few spins right out the box, no upgrades but 2 max retaliators and lvl 5 shotgun which I now changed to lvl 10 cyclone (shotguns need upgrading). 2 max antimatter, 1 max plated armor and max accelerator.
This thing is soooo much fun. Played 10+ games and found it to be either a game changer or a total dud. I think the map is a big influence, on small maps it totally rules running from beacon to beacon. On Springfield I found myself stranded few times after beacon defense without abilities and sitting duck. Although it says it’s speed is similar to walking Ao Ming it feels slower, maybe the thrill of the turbo boost shifts objectivity here lol.... look ma, no hands!!

Charged into a red that was messing with our home bacon on DC, basically perpendicular to the wall in an attempt to pin him up and take his lunch money. There musta been a couple meters between him and the wall because that boy BOUNCED off the wall into the great unknown. Like racquetball style 😂

Well I shelved mine for now and went back to me trusted Ming. Minos need serious upgrading before use (freewheeling around the fact that this user maybe should not use it as Thor’s hammer on a one way mission....everytime its fielded but hey, fun right!! 😅)

Rollo Tomasi during my reckless attempt to shoot the nuts off your Minos on castle earlier, it occurred to me that I never got close enough to a Minos to find out if my weaps can penetrate the reflector shield if close enough. Btw I couldn't even tell if your shield was up or not because I was too close and laughing too hard. sidenote: THE SQUIRT....oh yeah, its a thing. When your target is up against a wall and you aim your charge directly at him and curve at the last microsecond towards the wall. The idea being to hit the crevice between him and the wall at the correct angle of the dangle. Catch it right and that mofo squirts outa there at comical velocity. Def DO try this at home

I get bounced to literally the cutoff of the map on the opposite end. A few times I was launched from red home beacon on castle to my home spawn. I think of jump is used at the time of launch it's amplified. Also why is it when I bonk reds they don't bounce away? Like ever. I tried to bounce a puny kumiho AMD he didn't budge from his beacon.

Kumihos have magic powers, Im serious. They seem to have some sort of added mojo when I face them. In other news, just yesterday I was messing around in the far corner red beacon on canyon when a Shell came at me FAST, I jumped my Rog and he blasted my little 「bum-bum」 the entire distance along the invisible far wall where I actually landed on top of that crane rig thats parked in the corner. So cool, that I needed a cigarette afterwards

When played smart - Minos can be a late game tide turner in the beacon game. As much fun as it is to use your charges for sending reds for a non stop flight to another zip code, nothing....and I mean NOTHING moves faster on an undefended beacon than a straight line double charging Minos.
I know a lot of guys prefer (are programmed) to drop their titans mid match when everyone else does these days, but as a small bot guy - sometimes I don’t activate my titan until later in the match - certain windows of opportunity open up for me and I can swing a match by being the X factor in my Minos.
I play my Minos as a tactical powerhouse bot and less like a traditional titan, and I am seeing a lot more opportunities for late game heroics. Check eeeeet out...

I charged minos into deployed behemoth today. Seemed like easy kill to bully and push. He did not move an inch. It was like hitting a wall. The second charge had no effect as well. I guess it's a bug?
Anyway all the reds were behind me and they skinned my sorry skin before i could try one more time...
So i guess that's the tip: Don't charge into deployed behemoth, It won't do a thing.

I keep forgetting to SS my long drives, but recently I hit a shell standing at the top of the pitchers mound on PP at the precise time he hit his jump. Just tattooed his 「bum-bum」 to the invisible wall ð¤ð

MINOS ETIQUETTE....does it exist?
Anyone else using their charge to “assist” a slower teammate (thats directly in your path) en route to a hot beacon? I’ve been doing this more often lately with good results. While a bit jarring to your unsuspecting teammate, getting two blue bodies inside the bacon circle is always a good idea

Minos and Scorpion are bot getting lousy to deal with, and are showing up everywhere now.
I look forward to their inevitable demise via the nerf bat, and now wonder....the next Titan to come out, what will THAT be to compete with Minos.
I’ve seen many matches turn around for Red with multiple Minos drops, or the deadly Minos/Noodles combo......must be something to behold in upper Champs! Does upper Champs even see Arthur’s anymore?

Arthur Grom is very deadly. Don’t even imagine dealing it with Demeter support and that 20% buff.
