There I go killing again. Holiday blues has bad habits die hard. But, that means I get to talk to all of the great folks here. This was, and is still, one of the most wholesome fandom forums out there. Rate my ride:  |

That Bastion skin looks mean. Nice hanger.
I’d have skip the Gatecrasher if I’d known the Bastion was coming out. Oh, well.

I ran into a few gatecrashers and was assaulted with the 3star promo for it when I started playing again. It's ability looked too jank. The best thing Bastion has going for it, is that the Shield is the bane of Surge at comparable levels. The EMP effect on the burst is really short, but enough to stop Surge from getting the one-piece on dash. |

I picked up both the Redeemer and the Gatecrasher for no other reason than to let them sit in storage and collect blueprints. The Bastion is freaking OP. Ran into one already maxed and it was untouchable.

Ran into another one this noon, and my Ares got killed by its shield blast 💥 Ares is totally outclassed by this new mech. I'll max out the one I have on my main account because it's already at 6 stars, but won't buy the missing blueprints with A-coins. |

Ran into one already maxed and it was untouchable. Redeemer seems like it's becoming meta in the high hanger crowd. Seems like a decent counter vs real players but I'm not in a rush to upgrade mine yet. Slowly collecting bps too on Gatecrasher but it seems good. The ability is kinda fun but not half as useful as Guardian's. |

I play him with Jav8s at 16 energy/4 star.  |

If I had the choice between Redeemer and Orion, I'd probably go for Orion. That mark of death is crippling. It's the best of stalker and Redox, against a single target. I've been punched by Jav/EM Orions holed up behind walls of tanks and EMPS. Aggravating. |

I like Orion more myself so far but I think the issue is against human players you have to land the Hunter's Mark first and then your shots, so you're exposed for longer. A well-played Redeemer seems a lot harder to hunt down. |

I don't have mine anywhere near maxed myself and frankly it seems like for both mechs the star of the show against human players is actually the EMR12. So I'm prioritizing those weapons over the mechs. |

Also it seems like enemy fire and abilities like freeze have no effect while Redeemer ability is active, while retreating. Not sure though. |
