Ever since the Pins/Tulumbas have had their damage increased and reload while firing implemented, Fujin's shield feels like a larger and larger compromise. Just when we'd thought that Trident Furies could be protected against, along comes the RDB which not only destroys the shield in 1.56 volleys, but every time 2 wandering missiles hit the shield that's starting to regenerate, it stays down for about six seconds, which is an eternity without any protection while being forced to stay still. And to this very day, he still can't climb ledges any better that a bipedal robot can. His feet even sink into the ground on point B in Shenzen.
Can Pix take another look at fairy dusting this robot with increased movement speed/climbing capability if making the shield stronger isn't an option?

Fujin has always been pretty strong, even during the double-damage bug. It just takes a little adjusting to get used to the new mechanics. I actually had my Fujin at level 5 before when all my bots were level 9, since the shield could take one volley of whatever rockets, and then you go and charge up your shield.
If the RDB isn't at full strength, then your shield will absorb it and do minimal damage to your shield. I haven't done the math, but it can take 2 RDB and still do ok. You should still be near cover so you can duck behind it if your shield runs out, or if you need a safe place to charge your shield. My Fujin held up 2 max level Fury Tridents after they fixed the double-damage bug, so they couldn't get past my shield. I'm not sure if they have tweaked the mechanics since the last update, so I don't know what it can do now. If it can still hold off 2 Tridents or 2 RDB, then I'd say it's ridiculously strong.

Best if used with tulus in support, hydras in support, orkins in ambush/beacon defense, molots for anti mid range is very viable since the update ( in support) are we seeing a @support" theme here?! ?

I'm using Fujin a fair amount since the rocket buffs. Currently a fan of Tulumbas, and have never been a fan of Orkans on it. Move speed is too slow, and body (even with shield) is too weak to handle close combat with anything.
It's okay, not amazing, and it's shield requires the pilot paying a lot of attention to everything going on. It's really good when it's good, though; it's extremely satisfying to watch an RDB volley splash against your shield, and 3x Tulumbas hits pretty hard nowadays, since you can finish off weakened enemies with your pea-shooting.
People on this forum and the subreddit trash the Fujin but if you take time to get good with it, it's about as good as any other bot. It's like the Rhino in that the ability takes a lot of experience and awareness to be useful, but right now an energy shield is a lot more useful than a physical one, so it's more worth it to get good with a Fujin than a Rhino.
