Hi guys,
Would you put 3x squall or 3x cyclone on ox minos?
If I'm upgrading it, should i go for hull, core or engine first?
I'm planning to put 2x anti matter, 1x self healing unit and 1 plated armour on it.
Thanks!

Squall is pretty popular. I ran it before I moved two of the squalls to my Nodens. Noodles has been my Titan for a couple/few months now.
If memory serves, IMHO, you want to emphasize core/hull first and drag your feet on Engine. Speed helps but when not dashing the Minos isn't super fast even when maxed. The pushy/shovey ability is not incredible even when maxed. Booting somebody across the map is rare.
You probably want to do research on the self-healing module. You need to live a LONG time for it to replace a plated armor kit. I've never run one and nobody has ever said that's a bad move.
An alternate build is 3x Cannibal, 1 x Plated Armor. IF you run it you need to focus on Titan killing.
Congrats on the Ox, I have a maxed regular Minos and I just can't stomach building another Minos for the health bump.
Play the Minos like a Haechi: Dash, WHAM, WHAM, dash back. Also Minos can be a beacon runner when the opportunity presents itself. I have grabbed center on Carrier pretty often with my Minos. Dash back to safety. Fun stuff.

I would invest in a Quantum Sensor. Your natural game is to spend a lot of time around beacons and yoy have the speed and agility to run down red Lokis and Nightingales, and many top players run cloaking units on their bots for pseudo invulnerability for 5 seconds.
Depending on what you see as your primary target would make me invest either in cannibal reactors or AM reactors. If you’ve got enough PT to get your weapons up to level 20+ quickly you probably don’t need AM reactors to deal with regular bots.
The Minos embodies the spirit of the Kurgan “It’s better to burn out than fade away”, so I wouldn’t go the self heal path. The PAK will give you more health at the start than what a SHU will create in most matches in a Minos. For a Nodens or Arthur which tend to hang around longer the SHU is well worth considering,

For a Nodens or Arthur which tend to hang around longer the SHU is well worth considering, I have a dusty, maxed Quantum Sensor. It's only useful when there's a cloaked/stealthed bot. I find that armor/damage modules are always useful regardless of the situation. The Murometz bot may actually urgently need folks to run QS to counter it. Time will tell. |

The Minos is the only Titan I would consider putting a QS on. Most importantly other Titans have to wait for stealthed bots to come to them, the Minos can run them down. Secondly the Minos spends a lot of time around beacons, which is where the stealth bots naturally gather. Thirdly because of the speed the Minos doesn’t need to max out the QS as much as other Titans do. So whilst the QS is situationally useul against always useful, you have weigh up that when it is useful it is very useful. A single Loki can easily turn a game if it can run around unchecked. |

Well reasoned. Are you a Quantum Sensor Shill?!?!?!  |

Well reasoned. Are you a Quantum Sensor Shill?!?!?! Not at all. I prefer my Lokis to be unmolested. it’s just that I find QS to be mostly useless when used against me unless the red Titan drops right on top of me. I see the red eye and scoot elsewhere until that Titan dies. What I think is odd is I think I’ve only ever seen one Minos with QS when to my mind it’s the best Titan to slap a QS onto. |
