Sure this bot can be annoying, but I hate Typhons when theyâre on my team. When we need beacons and there are two or three of the 「illegitimate child」s dancing around home beacon taking pot shots at reds with their midrange bull「dookie」. I donât need your weak-「bum-bum」 Pulsar support to take center beacon. Iâd rather you get in a real bot and charge the reds. Unless youâre playing TDM, this bot is garbage. I have one. I tried it. It canât take or hold a beacon for 「dookie」. Maybe if itâs running Sonics or flames itâs viable. But 90% of the ones I see are always running longer range crap. And that only works in very specific situations. Wise up. Please stop running Typhon in BR and Dom!

They do deter me from going for a centre beacon. Annoying to fight like a Fenrir or falcon because you get F all damage trying to cut through the never ending aegis.
I tend to act disinterested, wait for a team mate to help drop the aegis, then pounce like a tiger to delete them from the game.

I hate it and it really winds me up when they`re just standing way at the back taking pot shots and locking everyone down whose actually enjoying some decent scraping in the midst of the action and so then usually lose a bot, or six, trying to get to them for some pay back and anger release. Then I hate myself for being so reckless.

Iâve ranted about this before as well. These ppl sit the whole match in that 「smart person」 bot pew pew pew pew, rly annoying and the dmg raked in is not great. They end mid or low so why bother. All these 4 medium slot bots r equally stupid in these mid range loadouts if ya donât grab beacons. Go park yer 「smart person」 in TDM.
I found a similar thing is developing with fafnir pilots. As ppl still shoot the gawddamn shield and the microlag isnât helping either, these dumb bots get their shield charged and they will not stop flying afraid they willl loose their 「smart person」 fiepower. Lately been playing more matches where won / lost bc the air was full of 「smart person」 fafnirs unwilling to grab / defend a gawddamn beacon.

Yep, it’s like when you wipe out the entire red team except for that one guy who still has 5 more bots left and drops them one at a time to be decimated by the entire blue team. What kind of strategy is that? Awesome when he’s red. Sucks when he’s blue. |

I don’t know man… midrange Typhons can do some serious damage. On maps like Rome, Canyon, or Abyss where bots cross a large, open area to reach beacons, brawlers are super vulnerable to them. Plus, when they are leveled, four medium weapons are super potent. Just the other day I had a Froodle Typhon on my team that was completely vaporizing reds at range. With its Quantum Radar and surprising patience, it made Orochis, Fafnirs, and Ravanas drop like flies. Sure, many Typhons are not this powerful, but even at lower levels, being made defenseless by Blackout 2.0 and having four medium weapons brought upon you is brutal. This bot may not score as much raw damage, but it has undeniable territory control, which is just as important in many battles.

I use Faf like a super-upgrade on Nightingale…and I use ‘Gale for a combo of beacons and general mayhem: I like to drop them when there’s lots of half-strength bots on the field, and I try to save as many beacons as I can while deleting as many reds as possible. It means I’m all over the map sometimes, but it turns some games around fairly quick.
And, in the super-bot universe, sometimes things just can’t BE turned around by just one bird….

Oh yeah? Well my dad can beat up your dad!
Typonium is a wonderful bot! From the exquisitely sculpted exterior fuselage to its reminiscence of the early 1970s DC 10 and a TIE Fighter… Oh, the magic and lore! Add an Azure skin and some greatly leveled as well as under appreciated hardware and how could you refuse such a generous offer?
Your frustration, Grasshopper, seems to be misappropriated. For your ire seems directed at scenarios and modes..
Agreed, there SHOULD never be “two or three” let alone 3-4 of ANYthing just being like, “We’re on a Beacon!”,,,Yeh we know.. but TDM… organized squads,,, Baby EMP can be your friend
Not sure what league your in, and I know Legends don’t run them, but as a Classic “weak axx” mid ranger, (and I brawl also) I’m n9t so sure. I run a L11 w quad L12 wasps, 2 maxed OverDrives, and the Blue Goth Chick and T4 Lockdown or Suppression (jury is still out for me, Sup. helps the team better, but LockD/Freeze is better for my scores)…
I also run quad L11 Skaladions, go ahead,,, run across Springfield and Canyon. And I suspect the return of Yaumantau will be a bit of the same. As 079 pointed out, it’s “territory control.” So after I tag u and u get to cover, I’m blasting your fellow Red, and when u peak around the corner, I give u a shot or two.. Then I go back to taggin your friend, so then u rethink it… “how do I get out of being pinned down?” And the WHOLE time, u know what you’re doing? NOTHING…. Not capping, no dmg dished, no flanking, no NucAmp chargin, just smokin Green Crack,,, So u make your move, maybe I lose, maybe not. But for 1-2 mins, you’re a non-factor.
Weak? I dunno, 4 mediums is 4 meds, you seem to like brawling, the Typhonesis was never really intended to be a brawler, IMHO, but then again neither was the Ao Jun. it’s viable in Masters 1. It’s also a strategy/thinking pilots bot, same way Nodens isn’t a Minos. Some of the Vets in the game, I would bet, still enjoy that aspect of the game. I would also wager that you’ve had the opportunity to take Center a few times because someone stopped your aggressor right in their tracks before you even got a chance to do so. So your welcome for the easy dmg.. and thank you for the bacon
And FWIW, I’ve seen plenty of brawlers be so aggressive as to almost bot out in 3-5 mins… (Inc. Exp./Mast.) which doesn’t help me either.
And I’m not going to try to talk ya into it, glad you took one for a spin…. Gotta find your jam. But then again, I can’t Ravana for dookie.

I've stopped levelling mine and still get fun out of them but no weapon should have so many strengths and hit all the way to 600m. The player that can't read the battle and know when to get out of that Typhon theyve been in since the start are the ones that cost you a win. |

I will agree w the necessity to bug out and grab another bot at a certain time periodically. Mid, yes… Camp, no… |

Fair point there, I do agree that midrange users need to be mindful of the progression of the battle and ditch their bot if the situation calls for it. But that does not mean that midrange is on the whole bad in any sense of the mind. Saying it leaves the team down a whole bot is just incorrect. Just because someone is not right on a beacon does not mean he/she is not defending it, he/she is just doing so from a distance. I’m fine with people getting mad at people not using their bot correctly, as long as they do not say the whole play style is bad because of it. |
