So I finally used a Google play card I got for Christmas and bought Vortex in a pretty good deal. I also got a level up deal. He is doing pretty well in my under 2800-2900 hangar. He especially does well in cpc as he moves fast with his ability and has 50% less damage taken. Ive used missile racks to pretty good effect. Next I will try a barrage weapon on him. Fun bot to play around with. One reviewer said it is a Meta bot, though I don't play Meta these days. Below are some pictures of my Vortex. I may do a play video.   The pilot...  |

I just raised my Vortex to R4 and I tried it out in a sub 5k hangar...it still wasn't good enough to do much. I don't know if it was because I had two maxed mechs in my hangar, Tengu and Shadow...but my overall SP was fairly low.
So far, from my experience, it's got to be played like a linebacker...get into position and then rush a single target and overwhelm it. It would work best if paired with a MD cause then it can retreat and heal and then rinse and repeat.
MRs seem to work for me. SGs not so much cause it was hard to get into SGs effective range. DLs and JRs work well, but then of course, those weapons work with almost every mech. I haven't tried NL yet but I have a love hate relationship with this weapon - fun when you have ideal battlefield conditions but frustrating when everything seems lined up but most or all your ammo hits nothing.

In my second hangar I set up Vortex with two other mechs for 1200sp total. Then I put a NL10 on him. I fire NLs pretty close to reds so they all hit usually. Vortex did pretty well even in 5v5, though that was mostly bots. In my main hangar Vortex has MR6s. He does very well in cpc and okay ish in 5v5 as part of a 2800sp hangar. He's 3 stars plus at the moment. I put in rare implants iirc to increase his ability and make it last longer. |
