--To counter Shell I've swapped the Tasers on my Fenrir for flames. The new Legendary Pilot, 3 x Heavy Armor Kit, PS. --My Nightingale still has cryo rockets which works well against the Shell but only for a big burst. --My taser Phantom also with suppression and the tasers are crappy against the Shell but I just can't seem to let this build go. The one thing tasers are good for is they can give you some range vs the Sonics 200m. --Pulsar/Leech - Kinda useless against Shell. I tend to deploy this bot late so... meh. --Hawk - Death from above. Shell hunter. Except for the Hawk all my drones have a good amount of suppression on them. I think this is a fairly important point. I'm not sure about flames, but the cryos do a good job of accumulating effects like suppression and obviously freeze. Just some thoughts, this isn't meant to be a comprehensive post, everybody feel free to chime-in. Endobot

I am using Fenrir flames with lockdown since it helps to deal two shells at once. Lock them at distance and burn those shields for the team 😅

Shell opens up it’s front and back shields when it uses it’s ability so you technically can hit it with Pulsars and Tazers if it’s running straight at you.
Hawk nerf means jumping to land the headshot is suicide now unless you like playing a Clay Pigeon

As a lvl1.10 Shell owners running 3 fortifiers (1 max, others lvl1), without the pilot, I can say everything’s will kill this bot, it is quite weak imo. But the inquiry is about leveled ones.
Flames and (ice) rockets work very well. I try to avoid those / prioritize targets running them. Cryo will slow them down (chips!) esp. When they run pilot handy, I do not suffer a lot from lockdown. Not had many agains me but I have punishers 2.12 on my nightingale and they work well breaking the shields. Leveled sonic weapons chew through my Shell quickly too, but again its fragile at 1.10, needs levels (silver sink lol)
As Garbage Game says, the opened state is annoying and i have not figured out which weapons work best, but sometimes I get major dmg when using ability because of those gaps. I try turning slightly so the shields point to the incomming.

Fell to a full Shell squad today. Those gift boxes look ridiculous running and jumping at you.

Not sure if they shoot through the gaps in the opened state. But those weapons make short work of anything anyway, my 400k fen dies in 3-5 secs aaargh. My Shell’s shield hold few seconds before cracking against them.

I also own a shell, 1.6. My worst enemies are glacier Ao Juns with a lockdown micro chip and death mark. That ends even the tankiest Shell

Pursuer with flames and lockdown. Shake and bake baby, and then run away.
