Seems like the Standard Ophion has been nerfed

Wasnt the SE edition released about a month after the standard one? If so, the SE Ophion will get its nerf next update. To many of them and they are OP so has to be nerfed.

hehe. I used to say that about bendy weatherchooks

Let's 「fluffernutter」ing go. About time, there are so many of the stupid things, I hate them more than Ochos at this point. Ophions are the only robot that can heal after being hit by Dampers, and the only ones that don't take damage properly from them. And they have a shorter cooldown than the Ochokochi. 

I haven't properly tested the healing thing, but I've seen it multiple times. Nonetheless, they take way less damage from the new weapons no matter how many you hit them with.

Next update they will be nerfed I reckon. The usual nerfs with flying bots. 

I think they are OP mostly bc of their speed in flight.  

I find the Lokis to be on the arrogant/smug side as they slink about in stealth. Yes, it’s their job and that’s the point of their abilities. Still though…

I have my Swiss-Harpy Knife ready hunt stealth and shielded bots via Quantam Radar, Shield Breaker, 600m range of 3x Hazards, Paralysis Drone, and the Red Cloud of inferno.

A 1.9 Loki is in my main hanger. Love it. Loki and a Dagon are my fav bots.

However, its main purpose is not to chase beacons but to troll the 「dookie」 out of anything by using 3 tricksters and a maxed Paralysis. From 600m, stealth - uncloak - shoot - stealth/reload/hide - repeat. 100K HP gone and locked down. A pleasure to see the target panic. Wheelie bins down to no HP and stuck, Charging Ocho, no probs, paralysis fixes that (unless IA at level 40+) titans without shields stagnating......

Because I dont push beacons with it, it stays alive forever (Dom). If it dies, outcomes the trickster deceiver Imugi. But Ophinons with perma Quantum Radar are one of the biggest threats. Beacause of their high flight speed, they can practically attack from anywhere on the map.

On the other hand, Ophions are stupidly OP. They are a threat to anything and with a maxed Last Stand they effectively have two lives against anything but Last Stand bypass weapons like reapers and Punisher Ts as examples.

PS: if anyone is thinking about building such a troll set up, be mindful that:
- tricksters and deceivers cause a lot of damage but you get 「fluffernutter」 all honour points for the damage caused so bottom of the table finishes are very likely despite a good damage result. Similar to healing.
- locked down reds are often finished off by another blue so the kill count will be very low.
- utterly useless against shields
- hitting the same target immediately after reload does not equate to the same damage as hitting it twice after the DoT affect is concluded. The latter causes like 30% more damage.
- not very good against titans. I think the titan defence mitigation handles DoT.
- if you want the exact opposite to the above use dampers and tamers. Mixing a trickster or deceiver with a tamer/damper set up is not very good unless you have a specific reason to do so. Not entirely sure what that would be.
