I am in Silver 1 league.
I have a lvl 7 Bulwark with the module cool down pilot. I want to love this Mech, but it performs the least in my hanger. The Bulwark dies very quick and with poor dmg output. I was running a pair of lvl 9 Avengers. I also have a: Fenrir, Hades, Demetrius, and Blitz. I just switched to a pair of lvl 7 Tridents because I do not have a missle boat yet and Bulwark seems best for hit and run.
Again, I want touse the Bulwark, but I just got an Orochi. No special pilot. I have the Blitz and Demeter for speed in my hanger, but still... Should I switch to a lvl 1 and pilot less Orochi ?
I also have a pair of lvl 1 Calamities and a single Hel.

I run both in champs. Orochi runs circles around my Bulwark and is also more fun to play. I am actually in the process of replacing Bulwark with something else, just haven't psychologicaly come to terms with it yet.
So I'd say yes, replace it.

High level Bulwark is a beast. Slow, yes but lasts a long time. These bots compliment each other. I use Orochi to run beacons, then my tanks to kill reds and defend beacons.
Works for me, I’m in Expert 1.

Well, my Blitz and Hades provide me with the most kills. Fenrir is new to the line up replacing a Lancelot. So those first two aren't going anywhere. Should I just keep the Bulwark ?

And should I keep using Tridents ?
(My workshop just got a 4th slot and I am still building a Shredder there)

Sadly. Bully is outclassed by orochi. Takes less resources to make orochi great. Bully has to be totally maxed to be close to a level 9 orochi. I have run thousands of games with Bully, so speaking from a wealth of experience. Still love it. And will still play it. But put your resources into something else. Also. Dump those tridents. Again, so much better places to use silver, gold, etc.

I have Calamities, should I use those ? Also have a single lvl 1 Hel, and 2 lvl 9 Avengers.

I do have 2.12 thunders that I rock on Orochi sometimes. They do pretty well and were cheap. If you are into close brawling. This is in high master/low champ. The Rochi is only 1.9 too.

Bully is the only bot (so far) that I have MK3. 2 X Hel, 2 X fortifiers and 1 nuclear amplifier, lockdown drone chip to keep fast bots at bay.
I also have an Orochi, it gets the bulwarks old scraps of Avengers.
Many an overconfident Orochi has fallen to the bully. An Orochi with glaciers is the exception.
The bully can hold its own against fafnirs as well, even if they have the shield breaker pilot.
Shells and Scorpions are the arch nemesis.
If you have it high leveled it's a beast, if I had a choice Id select a Fenrir before bully though.

Bulwark is good bot. You say you have the Legendary pilot. Pair it with good drone chips, and it is unstoppable. On Repair Def and T4 gives 80. 2x T4 chips and this Tank has got 160 DEF all the time. For comparison, Fenrir has 100 DEF.
The pilot deserves much higher rating. At least B if not A. Both bot and pilot are underrated.
A lot of bots need major investments. Faffy has no defense in the air so you also need On Repair Def chips to make it good.
The honkin Aegis Shield is the premier feature. I’ve been down to 1 hp, and just rise from the dead like Jason. He takes a’licken and keeps on a’ ticken.
Got loads of God-likes with him.

The two bots operate differently, so it heavily depends on player preference as to which is better. The big thing that sticks out to me is that Orochi is more budget friendly. Orochi is squishy, even at mk 3, so the bot behaves pretty similarly at all levels, meanwhile Bulwark must be leveled and tricked out to be the effective tank it is said to be. As a result, I would personally favor Orochi as it is not as much of an investment.

I have Calamities, should I use those ? Also have a single lvl 1 Hel, and 2 lvl 9 Avengers. Calamities do little damage at range, plus can have issues with the bad targeting system that has been around for what, 4+ years now? Plus guidance operator is pretty much mandatory for that weapon. Freeze rays are much better and no cooldown, pretty much anyways. Just be prepared for upgrades well over 30 million silver if you want to MK2 them.

Weird thing is they fixed the issue somewhat with the Titan versions so they know it exists. I've had titans do complete 180 degree turns to face me and still have target lock on.
