MA - New Mechs Stalker and Hidezo

This does look like the first step War Robots took, going from Griffin (Lancer) to Inquisitor (Hidezo)... it's the fate of all mobile games, really.

I hope im very very wrong, I really do. Watching War Robots go from a skill based shooter to an invincible p2w murderfest really sucked, who knows, maybe they wont fall so fast since they make money with cosmetics.

Panther kind of has a combo ability too with the net blocking shots and slowing enemies. I don't really think there is too much they can do about that - really there are only so many ideas and then you start mixing and matching.

Overall I am not really worried about either of these messing with the game too much. They seem like interesting but pretty balanced combos. And Plarium has a lot better track record on making new content balanced or even underwhelming than Pixonic ever did. They also are slower at introducing it, which I prefer. I know some people want as much new content as quick as possible but I think that really hurts game economies and f2p players. Better that it is a bit slow and folks actually have time to get everything.

I kind of doubt from the abilities and firepower that either of these will even be part of the meta. They seem like they are more for CPC than tourney.
I am also relieved that neither of these has a freeze ability. The maps are too small for another freeze bot (and really they need to cool it on slowdown gear too). What has me annoyed is that there will be freezing Javelins. We don't need that at all. The Two Arches map is already a total mess from AI Zephyr and Surges and it also a Jav-friendly map. When freeze Javs come out we are all going hate that map.

This Hidezo has huge potential with a good team .. I might almost kinda want one.

I’d been considering dumping some resources into MD. After I get a second copy of a DL12, after I rank up my first DL12, after I save up enough resources to actually GET a DL12, after Plarium in their infinite wisdom decides to make it available outside of their rip-off loot boxes. But now I think I’ll hold off on that for one of these new ones. After I get a second copy of a DL12, after I rank up my first DL12, after I save up enough resources to actually GET a DL12, after Plarium decides to make it available outside of their rip-off loot boxes.

And yes, jumping on people’s heads does sound fun. 🤣

Yes. I have the Acoins and credits for both the DL16 and the MR12 in the bank, as you say, they will be must have. I’m itching to move one of my mechs 6.7 too, I have three at 6.6 now. However, my self talk has the phrase “ stay the course “ repeating like a broken record.
