Ultimate Mender Build Recommendations?

Lucky you!

For the build check out the youtubers. SE Flamers are claimed to be OP. Mender and Marie has to be the best combo. Sorry but haven’t got one so cant really comment further.

PS: how did you get it and what should be a reasonable budget estimate for getting one?

I think it was around $200 maybe a bit more. I wasn't actually trying to get it, was opening red data pads for shatter and splinter so that was a nice bonus. I got a UE igniter and a blaze from the gold data pad. Those ones required you to open 80 red data pads each. And then second blaze from I think it was blue data pads also leaderboard rewards. Once you get 2 blaze and an igniter, the ultimate mender is free as the reward for completing the two tasks. You don't need to complete it in order so even if you get a UE igniter first, when you get the two UE blazes, the igniter task will auto complete and give you the UE mender. I think the cost of getting that flame mender setup is cheaper than one UE orkan. I remember wanting them and decided it was ridiculously overpriced to even try. 

Definitely wasn't my intention to brag. It's a cool bot, but I don't think it really gives much of an edge over the other stuff out there. Genuinely want some opinions on what to put on it. Honestly speaking, I get more out of my labrys ophion, but don't enjoy playing it that much so I switched it out for this mender. I've always liked mender design but never used it because I felt like the heal wasn't healing enough and even with the ultimate edition, I still think the heal could've been better. I would've settled happily for higher healing in exchange for lower damage.

I was using paralysis drone, but people were saying you have the flames which has slowdown so don't need it, but with 350m, I'm going to be getting into some sticky situations. So far, it's gone a bit better dropping it late game and supporting titans vs dropping as first bot but that is mainly because of the ochokochi problem. Like if I don't also use mine own ocho and charge up my modules, it becomes really hard to kill an enemy ocho once their modules are all charged up, but eventually it's going to get nerfed and I don't think ultimate edition stuff gets nerfed do they? Or maybe it won't matter since Pix will just make newer stuff that much stronger lol.

I think going for a longer range setup will be better since it is a support bot after all so might go with the ksiphos and labrys setup. I was interested in the bendy bullets too, but never used them and heard that their damage is pretty bad. For drones, currently considering beak and possibly whiteout. Hmm nitro unit...I'll have to try that out.

Yeah, I thought I read that somewhere; UE bots don’t lose UE weapons, MAYBE nothing UE loses weapons even if you mix/match UE and Non-UE.

I’ve moved back to low-spender status and the deals do get better. I got a uBlaze and uIgniter for $28/ea (plus some new Slug weapons and a small pile of Ag. There were deals at 11.99 (got 2/ea) and 3.99 (got 1/ea) that got almost exactly the number of each. This left 1-2k to grind in wins. That would have exceeded my normal monthly “budget” ($40-50), but not enough to bring up my 3-month average.

Of course, once you spend, prices go right back up, so hopefully I get back to cheap deals before the next opportunity. Hey, maybe one will appear in an Extermination prize like the uPulsar.

I have a hurricane typhon that i play occasionally as a fun build. I'd totally move the hurricanes over to a UE spectre if I had one for the extra damage when using the jump hahaha.

Agree. Its nostalgia and the EU bots are like a tier below the meta of the time. What hurts the mender is that there arnt any suitable weapons for it at the moment (cant comment about UE weapons). It just doesnt do enough damage and needs to be at range. Shotguns were good previously before they got nerfed and before pix did the drone/microchip rip off rework.

I tried that. Not enough damage with hazard and blight IMO. If a typhoon hits you with 4 hazards that’s different. Tried bendy bullet machineguns but they aren’t very good either. Labrys and co cant get through shields. Scourge and co may do good damage close but lock on....and  a brawling mender needs something more. Haven’t tried needle and spike but that would take the situation back to the brawling issue while being outgunned and lacking gimmicks. My other consideration for the mender would be the roulette mothership since you can put two health extenders on it. Don’t have that either and cant even get components for it as far as I know. Cant comment on the magnetars and pulsar combo. Actually slowly building that now.



I don’t think it is possible to build a meta mender unless there are new weapons and the roulette. Whatever weapons are used they need to charge the mothership fast because the roulette should be a key component IMO.
