Khepri Weapons?

Mix of shotties and bendies. Thinking of going full cudgel to complete the look. Adrian says it’s all about the look.

Shotguns on khepri are proliferating. Hard to kill. ( near impossible ) super fast and chase you across the field blasting with shotties. Its like fighting a titan. Near impossible to bring it down on your own.

Sonics work well, bendies work real well once position gained... next up blindies for regular bots, cuz why not... and hey these lasers can bend corners too, and a pilot that applies 100 % defence mitigation cuz , hey why not?

First drop is Magnetar Khepri with suppression chips and a maxed Nitro module, Quantum Radar, and Mean Girl🖤 at the helm. I wanna move fast behind Blue and render Red temporarily useless. Great counter for the weather chickens and other fast movers. This can totally stall out a Red effort with practice. 

Second and third are also Khepri. Halo Khepri with Good Boy🐕, a defensive Persephone, suppression chips, and Phase Shift. That one is close-in gun platform defense, short range offense based around a heavy Blue, or can also be used as a bloodthirsty chicken murderer. Break their line and rip apart their support. Anything bursty works, but I have zero developed sonics. Cryos are oddly effective here, too. 

Last Khepri is Bendy Khepri, also with Mean Girl🖤, lockdown chips, and Phase Shift. You wanna charge an Orbital Strike in a hurry? This is how you do that and not die. This is also how to gain the emnity of literally every Red on the field. Poke and prod Red into the firing lines of your friends and disable all yellow shields. Keep a friend close and be ready to move. You have made enemies today.

I've played around with Goo and Flamers and, while they were loads of fun, I can't speak confidently about them. I definitely prefer Khepri in its support position and find it terribly effective in those slots. 

Interesting that our build drops are opposite, but the intent is actually quite similar…

I find it really hard to ignore Khepri’s offensive prowess and sometimes misplay the support role. The support role takes more active thinking than offensive roles.

So how do 4 magnetars compare to the pulsar magnetar Mender set up? I am mildly underwhelmed at the very early testing (I have too many things in testing right now so I am overwhelming myself). Are the magnetars the better weapon of the class or have I just not run enough cases with Mender? I do have enough magnetars to run a full Khepri set (though I’d need to level 2 more)

Magnetar Khepri blunts all but the most serious movements very hard. They out-range bendies by 100m and can dance in and out with Titan flashlights. If you wanna be troll-y, you can set up the reload sequence so you're always spamming lockdown. It can set up kills for squadmates like little I've ever seen. Since you're in one now, it's a skill to learn.

In my opinion Mender is borderline useless outside of 400m-500m because, quite frankly, you don't run that fast. Unless you're directly supporting a Blue heavy or running the support line, there's no real reason to be that far out.

Used the magnetar Khepri for the above 500m etask and did very well. I like being at around 501m and watch the bendies go poof as they can't hit me. Have seen some of these builds out in the wild too so not just me. Alos the Khepri will be nerfed at some point so this could be that build when the time comes. Very fun too.
