I just went to read the Clever Survivor skill and see it’s 1100 AU to directly acquire it, wasn’t that 1000 AU or am I not remembering correctly of which happens. I think that cost to acquire changes (increases) based on how many skills/levels your pilot already has. That’s crappy as I am progressing only on my second skill. Thanks for the reply !

2x Redeemers for weapons. Nitro, Cloaking, and Last Stand for passive modules, Phase Shift for active. Of equal importance are the pilot skills. Does that cloaking module need to get upgraded? Curious if it’s worth the silver to upgrade or if you get a decent benefit at level 1? The cloaking module will provide a longer period of stealth as you upgrade it. Last Stand is three seconds, so you'd have to upgrade the cloaking module to L3 to get the equivalent of a second Last Stand. It's not an awful use of Ag in my book, though I put my silver towards upgarding the Nitro module and some Au towards pilot skills to reduce cooldown of Phase Shift to help get me out of trouble. Keep in mind cloaking is a one-time use module: you can stack three modules and get three uses, but each module can only be used once per battle.

Follow-up after using Orochi steady for 2 weeks, my Exodus build at MK 3 is fantastic . Orochi normally is my second drop Bot with my last 3 games getting combined 10 kills with him. Another positive feature I mentioned is I saved approximately 120 m taking the weapons through MK 2 compared to Glacier. Rock on old school weapons and surprise the Reds with what took them out !

Nobody answered my pilot question, so I went with Adrian over Ghost. Increase of built-in fire rate does not seem a reasonable choice over constant additional damage output.
After watching several videos of Ember Orochi, I decided to go with this over Devastator, mainly because I prefer ambushing and flanking. The range of Ember together with the mech speed allows me to cook targets on the brawl perimeter, and I can then do a well-timed pounce or retreat. This build does especially well against Shell because I can continuously stay out of its blast range and keep cookin it.
Flames are easier to keep on target the closer you are, and while it is sometimes challenging to hit moving targets even if you lead, you learn from frequently playing flame builds that if you aren't gonna use lockdown ammo, you become more aware of immobile targets, whether they are locked down, slowed, or just standing there distracted. Playing this ambusher role with Orochi is very much the same as being clever with Strider. It can brawl quite well due to quick reload of Embers, and even better if you slightly stagger the weapon fire, but mainly in 1v1. Against enemy clusters, better to hit from the brawl perimeter than waste your mech in the moshpit!
So far, I see no need to use Nitro, stack speed pilot skills, or equip jump unit. Speed booster and Road Hog perform just fine, by which I specifically mean they are sufficient to retreat from Shells most of the time....provided your backwards retreat while firing doesn't get you hung up against a wall, cuz they will catch you and boom boom yo booty

I went new old school. A regular pilot, Armor Expert, RH only.
Glory's. I play it like a Carnage from the good old days, but it is a much, much better bot.

For the moment, Ember and Incinerator weapons are perfect anti-Shell on Orochi. Skate backwards out of blast range while firing as they try to chase you.
In Orochi v Orochi, dual Hel wins almost every time.

Nice. I pull Orochi. Soo many options for play styles and weapons. Replace my phantom and use as opener. Or replace my Jun as closer.
I will get the Shell soon from event chain E. Plan to play as capper.
Better start saving. Cannot afford to upgrade 2 bots and any attendant weapons. Hel, Scatters, or Scald, Skadi, and Snaer.

I won one last night after having some beverages and it was my special prize. Had the paint and pilot for it put a glacier and exodus on it. Also got the scout skill for the pilot. Seems like a fun bot. Good luck..
