January 2021 Statistics. I went up into Expert briefly and then back down into Diamond. It's time to fence sit for a bit.  The Beasts that got me there.  What I upgraded. Raven from L7to L9. Hellburner from L3 to L9. Self-Fix Unit L5 to L25. I finally base upgraded all my weapons to L6. Until those Ardent Gusts and a couple of others came along. Still very happy to get them all base upgraded. I adjusted some Pilot skills and honed them into more what I wanted. Bot Review Hellburner : Really disliked it at first but then slowly came around to it when got the weapons I liked on it and started playing it as a normal bot. I use the special for when reds get too close or Loki killing. I'm thinking it needs more levels before it really shines. But I ain't got time for that. Butch : Tried a few different setups and settled for Exodus/Avenger. Went well like this but next time I'll have dual Avalanches. Rhino : Also tried with a few setup changes. Enjoyed Punisher/Tulu. But then Cdr. Crimmins gave me an idea and I tried Full Goonies. Then I went with Spark/Hussar which stayed for the long haul. And I loved it. Good for shooting reds with the shield up on the run when the red isn't directly in front. Mainly went shield down until I wanted to run or went against a tesla weapon. Still a good bot. Raven : Went the trusty Tesla Spark/Scourge. Mainly dropped first and it's such a great bot. Never let me down. Vityaz : Tried Punisher/Avalanche for a bit but then went the Full Goon Dragoon/Marques. Always will be a good reliable bot. With 2 armour skills and small hit box it's quite the tank. Nodens : Rupture/ Retaliator was fun, and it's by far my favourite Titan. So much support action. Anyway I accomplished getting those two bots to my L9 cap and the base level of all weapons to L6. So mission accomplished for this month. Now for next month. Feb - Stalker, Rayker*, Leo, Ao Guang*, Destrier. Ao Ming. If anyone wants to join myself and Cdr. Crimmins on the fun feel free to hit subscribe and ring the bell. Also if you want you can leave comments below on what you did and how much fun it was doing it feel free. On a side not my 1966 Ventures Mosrite is getting a new lease of life and my old band from the 90s is now on Spotify The Burgstrums. Such a long time ago.  |

Nice recap! I've got to start thinking about my weapons for this next one. Stalker and Destrier are gonna be the difficult ones for me. Who gets the Shredders? I think I'm going with Magnum Stalker, Goon Rayker, Chimera/Spiral Leo, Scourge AG, Shredder Destrier. To start with. |

I think I'm going with Magnum Stalker, Goon Rayker, Chimera/Spiral Leo, Scourge AG, Shredder Destrier. To start with. For me, to start the, a bit more evil: Rime Stalker - tag along, get in, get out, leave the target more vulnerable TempestMolot Rayker - I've run this before. Non stop harassment, even when the French Mings come out to play FluxGekko Leo - I just recently built my 1st Flux so I could mount it on my Shutze. Heh. Stupidest looking weapon ever made. Anyways, we'll start with that until it gets boring. Hussar x2/Ion Au Guang - Not sure how I feel here. But I only have 2 Avalanches. /me shrugs Aphid Destrier - If it gets spotted, it's dead so... let's try and old favorite. The Stalker, Destrier and Rayker are L9, the Leo is 7, the AG is 6. Weapons are mostly 6 with some 8's. |

My lineup has stayed solid:
2.12 Raven with 2.12 Stings, 1.10 Hussars, L1 Thermos, and Phase Shift
2.12 Raven with 2.12 Magnums, 2.12 Tarans, L1 Overdrives, and Phase Shift
2.12 Cerberus with 2.12 Punisher-T, 1.10 Atomizer, 1.10 Nucleon, L6 Fortifiers, and Phase Shift
1.9 Nightingale with 1.9 Cryos and Rime, L1 Cloaking, two L1 Last Stands, and Phase Shift
1.9 Hades with 1.10 Glacier, 1.9 Rimes, L1 Overdrive, two L4 Reactors, and Advanced Healing
And for fun I've been switching the Hades out with a 2.12 Leo with 1.10 Nucleon and 2.12 Magnums; 1.9 Phantom with 2.12 Taran/Magnums; and 1.9 Pursuer with 2.12 Magnums. Very occasionally I might run my Ao Jun or my maxed-out Rogatka/Tulu combo.

I think I'm going with Magnum Stalker, Goon Rayker, Chimera/Spiral Leo, Scourge AG, Shredder Destrier. To start with. I don't have a rayker, what should I sub for it? Only spider I have is Raijin. I want to keep it as close to what you're running. I'm not sure what the intended purpose is but I'm looking at this like a mixed bag pug challenge. Like skirmish but real stakes in ranking. |

I'm not sure what the intended purpose is but I'm looking at this like a mixed bag pug challenge. Like skirmish but real stakes in ranking. My initial intention was to play all my bots and upgrade only those bots. Legacy to 12mk2. All the rest 9MK1. Give each hangar a month. As I found it took about that long trialling different builds and differnt roles. To really gauge my own opinion. Below is how I divided up the bots. Take your pick for a replacement. Hangar Slots. Slot 1 : Small/Fast Bots. 13 bots- 5 Legacy Blitz Bolt Ravana Gareth Gepard Hellburner Kumiho Loki Phantom Pursuer Scorpion Stalker Strider Slot 2 : Spiders/Healers/Slingers. 13 bots - 5 Legacy Butch Doc Fujin Jaeger Invader Jesse Leech Mender Nightingale Raijin Rayker Tyr Weyland Slot 3 : Tanks/Shielded. 16 bots - 5 Legacy Ares Behemoth Bulgasari Bulwark Cerberus Fenrir Galahad Hades Haechi Lancelot Leo Natasha Nemesis Rhino Typhon* Shell* Slot 4 : Flyboys/Jumpers. 13 bots - 5 Legacy AG Ao Jun AQ Cossack Falcon Griffin Hawk* Hover Inquisitor Mercury Raven Rogatka Specter Slot 5 : Exiled/Legacy. 8 Bots. Boa Carnage Destrier Fury GI Patton Golem Schutze Vityaz I also try to play at least three old bots that are 12mk2 in each Hangar. |

Only the 1v1. Pix will keep your win rate around 40-60% anyway. |

I looked at the Rayker as a suppressor, so Blitz, Invader, Nightingale if you have any. Then I saw milty72 's bot list and felt smart. XD |

milty72 : 48% Win rate with that hangar. I suspect that is a testament to your skill. Nice. A month ago I had around a 38% win rate (ouch) and my hangar is "a little" beefier than yours. I hover around 68% from week-to-week and I'm happy with that. I think to go higher I'd have to try (aka spend more money) to be even more meta. Not. Doin'. That. I'm having fun with being mostly meta.

It was an experiment to see what would happy to my win rate. And well it didn't really do anything to it. |

XD You could add spitters to that descriptor catagory but I needed to try to balance out the amount of bots in each. Pix is coming out with too many bots. I'm gonna have to go from monthly to bi-weekly next year if I'm gonna get through them all. |

Well, with my entry in the Weapons Kill contest out of the way I'm back at it with the February Hangar! My current config:  Tonight got 2 wins and a loss. Both wins were 10Au victories though. Even the loss was 3rd place. Wait, that was the loss hangar.  |

Avalanche Pin Leo is wicked. Hussar AG and Goon Rayker are working well too. |

Yeah, this lineup does lend itself to midrange doesn't it?
I only have 1 shredder so I'm going to see if I can steal any titan kills with the Destrier because what could be funnier?
The AG has been switched over to Scourges.
What's funny is the Stalker was Rimes before the Weapons contest, got my Rime kill for me in the contest, and is now simply back in the lineup.

The AG has been switched over to Scourges. What's funny is the Stalker was Rimes before the Weapons contest, got my Rime kill for me in the contest, and is now simply back in the lineup. Midrange has become my specialty. I drop my AG first usually it lasts for 4 minutes. Holding the last line of defence, popping up and helping teammates with blam and missiles. I don't have 3 hussars so I have a Weber gor a stand in. Works really well. Needs Road Hog but I'm saving Gold for Stings. Destrier is so funny dropping last and facing Titans. Two L8 shredders roots any titan with a first mag unload. I pick on one titan and just keep rooting them every few steps. It must drive the Pilot nuts. Getting the kill steal is even funnier and I've had few now. Great stuff. My Stalker is the classic magnum with a jump pack. I have road hog and spy and he's so fast. |
