I am so 「fluffernutter」ing done with the Ophion. It's genuinely gotten to the point where its easier to kill the Ochokochi. There are so many of them now, and all they do it camp behind buildings, waiting for the ability then attack. And you always get triple teamed by the 「go solo」ers...
8 second cooldown is too short. NERF IT!

The cool down is deff too short, but I still hate the Ocho more. I’ve built the counter to the ophion with my prisma Erebus with SB. Or Loki, as long as they don’t have Quantum Radar, I’m good to hunt them with it.

Don`t be dissin my Ophions. I enjoy them so much I built and run 2. Haven`t done that since I ran 2 Hawks and 2 Scorpions back in the day. My Ocho doesn`t perform half as good and they remind me of the early fun that was to be had with Fafnir and Seraph.

I won one early in giveaway. Cooldown is def too short but it's the best semi counter to the Ocho and the ever increasing numbers of Newton's out there.
Some games you come out and control using this bot but as mentioned, it can be easily wiped out by crisis, siren/harpies or shield breaker users where as an Ocho tends to control every game more easily

Leech does well too. Nothing like ambushing the ambusher.

NERF IT! Sounds like a repeat of the "Flying Weather Chickens" Meta (Harpy etc.) with the Bendy Machine guns. That was pretty painful for a while. Kind of surprised they have not NERFed the Ophion yet. Normally once everyone and their brother have a new bot... it is Nerfed. |

I assume you have 0 Shieldbreakers in your hangar? If Unstable Conduit is not working then you may as well switch it on one or two bots.

Didn't realise they changed the effects every event. Guess that's what "seasonal" means. Fafnir is my main counter right now, it has built in shieldbreaker and is better than the Nether now. |

I resent having to spend cells to defeat a purple shield, so I just evade. Not sure why, because I'll happily trigger Quantum Radar to scrap a Loki or Crisis. Ophion is a real gimp though. I might give SB another try. |

Consulted an old fortune teller and she said Ophions will be nerfed after xmass with update 9.7. She also said there will be something new that flies or rolls soon after that and it will be even worse. Her insight was amazing. Can’t believe how she figures these things out 😀

My Siren build is mainly to trash Opions and Dagons. Shieldbreaker Yang Lee, 600m freeze rays & built-in weapon, and the lockdown drone work together pretty well to catch shielded bots out in the open and lock & punish them. I shoot until the freeze rays are depleted and then blink back. Most of the time, I'm up and down before the Crisis bots can get to me, but sometimes it goes very poorly.

Get your fun while you can. Definitely nerfs incoming for the Ophion. I've picked up another 2 with the free data pads from operation E.  |

Absolutely fed up of them after tonight. They literally plague the skies now. At least the regular ones can be killed when landing, but I only see the Quicksand ones now. And every single one of those are somehow tanky as heck despite having no defense points.
When they are nerfed, which they will be, I will laugh.

I kind of disagree with Wolf on this one, they are bad, if you are in a titan, no doubt. For a bot, not as bad (depends on weapons of course, which will refer back to your other starter post - Rust and effects)- Now with that said, they are definitely not the terror that the Seraph was when it came out. That thing should never been released into live the way it was. Of course the worst part, some of these Ophion players are too damn good with it.. lol |

Ophion is the only decent counter I have to Ocho. So I don't want it nerfed until the Ocho is nerfed.
Biggest problem in the game right now is the rust weapons. Pixonic managed to completely destroy an entire class of bots and healing abilities with a single weapon type.
This is ruining a lot of game-play and teamwork, yet I don't hear any YouTubers talking about it much.

They have been talking about it but as per usual, it's like beating your head against a brick wall so they just move on to the next gripe eventually. I still run my mender but it does become kind of useless when everyone is running around with the rust effect so you can't help them. They will get their nerf soon too and I haven't bothered leveling any above 2.1 |

Well, I got my wish. The Ophion is finished after the upcoming nerfs. -15% health, -50% ability damage and -50% charging power for the ability.

I think it's still usable due to the cooldown not being nerfed for those (like me) that don't have anything better to replace it with for the moment. It's a shame because I pretty much used it for Newton crowd control but it will be hard to take them down now, especially since I have the povo spec version that already gets blasted as it's landing. |

Yeah, I reckon it is a modest nerf. Still good because it has insane flight speed, supposed to have shield while landing and the cool down is still meta class instead of 18 sec. Next update will address those I reckon. The reduced ability damage will hinder titan hunting. |

I showed my son how to deal with them. Camp out in a corner somewhere with the Mk2 Erebus/Stellar Prisma setup, and use Shield Breaker, and blow them out of the sky. Works like a charm if ya time it right.
Agree on the cool-down though, way too short. Ocho is still way more annoying, particularly on Carrier when their under the deck, and on Castle when under the bridge. That ability needs a serious rework. It shouldnt be able to work through walls/floors, and it shouldnt work on phased bots.
