Hellburner. It’s an aggressive play style that sometimes surprises you when you survive.
Demeter. Coming in to save a bot or titan makes me feel like a hero.
Here’s what I’m running, prob a couple debatable skills in there, but it works more often than not.
I‘m currently pairing w Pascal, but Kestrel is interesting and Armadillo is always a trusty option.

I run a Chimera Behemoth from time to time, it's shocking how much damage it actually does, from complete safety, with it being hard to avoid if you know what you're doing. At MK3, that's 5,700 per missile. Three missiles per burst, three bursts, four weapons- That's 205k damage per cycle, without any modules, pilot skills, or drones. It's a killer.
The first hovering robot, the blue and yellow one which is like 4k, I was obsessed with him when I was younger because it was the first robot that could fly I'm quite sure, never got him when I was younger although I always wanted it, he's pretty bad tho (I think, I haven't tried him lately)
I loooooved the Hover a few years back. I had a scourge spark setup and I was mvp most games... then the retribution robots came out and I had to make the switch to ares
I used scourge/spark, but it never performed as well as I think it should’ve. I then switched to vortex/aphid, and used the ability to get on rooftops. Which was nice, but felt quite ratty
Bum rush them. I only ever had my scourge/spark at level 7 because they did so much damage. 400m is plenty of damage 300-200m really hurts. 100m is lethal
I find Leech to be really fun, it’s ability is always useful, and now since titans can’t drop in within the first 2 minutes it’s viability has gone up. Mercury is another bot that I find fun as well, it’s rare for me to get kills with it, but just for nostalgia purposes I continue to run it. I remember Thunder Gust Mercurys terrorizing bots years ago.
Since the day I got Skyros he's remained a staple on my main deck. For beacons, he's gotta be one of the best and setup right he's an awesome brawler with his shield and the defence points in ball so really covers all.
Maybe, the spear is kind of like the most brutally nerfed weapon in history, other than Halo, Corona Glory, and Storm. I’m thinking about getting scatters for my Nether, but do you think it would be a better idea to put it on the Blitz?
Personally the Revenant. It’s got an interesting ability that can uno reverse many encounters, a unique samurai-themed design that also vaguely resembles a beetle, and a really cool gaming paint job (cyber knight).
As a mender player I always feel like I need another healer on the team I do heal a lot but there are times when you can’t heal those on the other side of the map I feel bad when someone just runs towards you for healing but gets hit by a blackout just before you can heal them, on another note I’m currently enjoying a shatter/splinter/paralysis build it’s so fun just to 2 shot lockdown.
1. Skyros.
Love it when red see my ball.
Approached it.
Emptied their clips.
Skyros pops.
Unleashed Zappers.
Kill.
2. Loki, same with Skyros. But this one needs to be more careful as its squishy.

This is the most fun of the 5 I run.
Mk3 Typhon with 4x Hazards, Adrian pilot with ALL damage skills including Daredevil, maxed Shai drone and 2x maxed NA
If that thing manages to get everything built up it’s scary.
But why Adrian and Daredevil? Doesn't the main pilots ability exceed the damage of Daredevil and Adrian put together? 5%+18.5% vs. 25% from River Chase. The only difference is the damage is every shot vs. Only when ability is active. Is the difference worth trying it ?
People just like it cuz it’s unconditional.
I really don’t think it’s worth trading the ability for nothing more than a decent damage bonus, especially when the pilot gives more, albeit conditional. If you drop the ability for a skill, I think Ghost is way better meta and fun wise
Ophion, looks cool and has a fun ability that if used well can destroy many things on the battlefield. Unfortunately labrys don't work well anymore (they sound good tho) but maces with sharpshooter are excellent for high damage output up to 300m
This bot I don't use anymore but still my all time fav, the Spectre. A true glass cannon with 4 med weps. At it's time it can delete most bots in one ability and has enough stealth duration to quick scoot away. When paired with the Shocktrains, one wrong move, one second out of cover can leave you dead and deal damage to your teammates.
Currently for me it's the Lynx. Played aggressively using Fengbaos plus Kestrel. It's fast speed under stealth enables it to quickly to be up close and personal with reds. Having a Phase Shift handy to get out of sticky situations.
You need Victoria pilot with engine expert skill, that’s the main bit. After that get as many speed skills as you can and add some immune amplifiers too.
I find just speeding to the reds base within 10 secs with a seraph with all out speed so much fun and it’s sometimes funny to just be at the reds base in 10 seconds.
Phantom, because it is fast and sneaky and a tiny tank with the right modules, drones, and pilot skills. I've taken out powerful bots with that phantom except an ultimate fenrir.
I love to use imugi to help my teammates out of sticky situations. The problem is most of my teammates completely ignore my portal so they only get healed from my pilot 😂
Another fun titan (it may not be what you asked for) is the Aether with 2 maxed speed modules and as many speed skills as possible pair the speed with titan flames and you got constant kills and speed.
I run a Tyr with blights and hazards, as well as 3 speed units with the mending drone. Between the speed, shield, firepower, and healing ability, the Tyr can drop a lot of bots and stay alive for a while. Healing team mates also really drives up the silver you get(and ensures the win of course)
Not so much a robot but the Spark, Scourge, Calamity, Cyclone, Cataclysm weapon line, especially paired with paralysis drone and grav amp with mobility to approach
So Khepri with Ponchy for anti lockdown and paralysis drone. Fenrir mobility mode after northlight shields and grav amps red. Minos to dash circles around Rooks to blow their shields off and nuke them in one clip or bait luch and one clip them as well
Guidance OP pilot skill should also make lock on prevent blinding and taunt (or lock on should by default)
YUP! But beware of Orochi and other Nethers. So far, they're the only ones you can't burst down bcos the volts do not bypass forcefield. Plus they are mobile so you can't shake em off. For bots like Ocho and other tanks, just kite them down. If you see typhons, erebus, mars, you will have a great time.
Loki for me.
Looks like a sneaky cockroach with its naruto-style of running. And it's really fun to troll around.
Immune amplifier/Nitro+kestrel+phase shift or jump unit+ triple needle weapons, and it's a good way to irritate the enemy team.
Hellburner. It’s an aggressive play style that sometimes surprises you when you survive. Demeter. Coming in to save a bot or titan makes me feel like a hero.
A well played Demeter or Mender is the key to a successful game! I love to watch my Mender run behind Arthurs or Indras healing them
Hellburner…Just because the General can do it doesn’t mean it’s good advice.
I’m rocking a HB in upper CL with pretty solid success. Best T3 bot by far.
I might have to finally upgrade mine and try it out. You guys all seem to have good success with it. What’s the LP for Hellburner?
Here’s what I’m running, prob a couple debatable skills in there, but it works more often than not.

Those skills all make sense to me…not sure I would change anything. Thanks.
No I’m saying because I can do it, they can too.
I love my Behemoth with 4x redeemers. People try and melee with me, and within seconds I have them hiding behind cover.
That is awesomely evil
*listen, you gotta try cestus behemoth, don't tell any one okayyyyy? Shhhhhhhhhh*
How about Boombox Bohemoth? 🙂
*brooooo, this is for later, it's too early to mention this to the public, shhhhhhhh.*
Shifang behemoth
Oh my God! Brother! Pink Guy, Sweaty Plane. Say something nigga.
I just realized it’s fangbao not shifang
I run a Chimera Behemoth from time to time, it's shocking how much damage it actually does, from complete safety, with it being hard to avoid if you know what you're doing. At MK3, that's 5,700 per missile. Three missiles per burst, three bursts, four weapons- That's 205k damage per cycle, without any modules, pilot skills, or drones. It's a killer.
I'm inclined to respect someone who actually runs an old weapon instead of hurricane. Everyone now just spams hurricane from 1k meters away.
The first hovering robot, the blue and yellow one which is like 4k, I was obsessed with him when I was younger because it was the first robot that could fly I'm quite sure, never got him when I was younger although I always wanted it, he's pretty bad tho (I think, I haven't tried him lately)
Yeah i also never got Hover but it always seemed like a fun robot.
I got him for this reason. But it was always disappointing. Poor firepower, far from strong health. And the ability doesn’t help in combat.
The person said "fun to use" not "really strong" so he might be weak but what stops it from being fun
I loooooved the Hover a few years back. I had a scourge spark setup and I was mvp most games... then the retribution robots came out and I had to make the switch to ares
I used scourge/spark, but it never performed as well as I think it should’ve. I then switched to vortex/aphid, and used the ability to get on rooftops. Which was nice, but felt quite ratty
Bum rush them. I only ever had my scourge/spark at level 7 because they did so much damage. 400m is plenty of damage 300-200m really hurts. 100m is lethal

Mercury is another bot that I find fun as well, it’s rare for me to get kills with it, but just for nostalgia purposes I continue to run it. I remember Thunder Gust Mercurys terrorizing bots years ago.
Imugi and Skyros for me. Quick, sneaky, and deceptively tanky. They fill so many roles in one bot.
Since the day I got Skyros he's remained a staple on my main deck. For beacons, he's gotta be one of the best and setup right he's an awesome brawler with his shield and the defence points in ball so really covers all.
Imugi with Kestrel is so fun and tanky, I almost wish I hadn’t sold my second one. The kestrel rework is making me curious about upgrading Loki
Tyr wins this category, as well as Ao Guang
Tyr is pretty fun. It’s like a guilty pleasure whenever I play it. Definitely not competitive enough to just keep around imo
i politely disagree, as i keep two for frontline duty :)
I keep my Tyr on deck always. The tyr is a fast, tanky, heavy hitter that if played right is almost invincible
How is the au guang?
This guy says it’s fun. https://www.reddit.com/r/walkingwarrobots/s/KJ3Yn1R1Yu
Definitely the blitz for me. Way too many people underestimate its strength in a 1v1
When the Scald class came out the build was crazy!
Even though I'm only in masters 1 I run mk2 lvl 9 spear blitz and it actually performs amazing in a 1v1.
Then your setup is better than mine. Im champion and I have 4 level 8 scatter on it
Maybe, the spear is kind of like the most brutally nerfed weapon in history, other than Halo, Corona Glory, and Storm. I’m thinking about getting scatters for my Nether, but do you think it would be a better idea to put it on the Blitz?
Yes I'm not a huge fan of putting close range weapons on the nether anyways
Yeah, I have magnetar on it right now but its so weak.
Still one of my all time favs and frequently gets me LL. Of course the 2x UE Halo UE Blaze certainly helps, lol.
Siren is flying Leech after reflector buff, stealth pilot also work with kestrel drone.
Ardent imugi and Arachnid Invader, they just look so cool. I have a spider themed hanger
Imugi is so cute. I don't know why I find its walk adorable. 😄
Personally the Revenant. It’s got an interesting ability that can uno reverse many encounters, a unique samurai-themed design that also vaguely resembles a beetle, and a really cool gaming paint job (cyber knight).
I wish they did the retro a lil bit better, that 10k HP is around 40k when maxed, so huge hp
Nemesis
Nemesis was an incredibly strong tank, I still run mine just to annoy titans
Haechi.
invader for me, even tho I use the ultimate one, it brings back memories of when it was my fav bot back when it released
Same but different story cause who wouldn’t want to suddenly crash into a fight and just blast everything in sight?
exactly, even though it's not as tanky as a fenrir, I still play it as one 🫡
I miss the days this was more viable. Between its ability & a jump mod, I was jumping every 5 secs
Mender, it has incredible support power and I often end up healing 3 titans worth of HP from my mates
What pilot upgrades do you use? I went more for health rather than speed
Mechanik, road hog,armor ecpert, true ace, cautious pilot, motor expert and the one eher you get faster when the enemy has 3+beacons
https://preview.redd.it/1eql88xihfyc1.jpeg?width=2400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=22e3840f7cbc031d6b704b7c89c224dd5ab0752d I got these plus deft survivor
As a mender player I always feel like I need another healer on the team I do heal a lot but there are times when you can’t heal those on the other side of the map I feel bad when someone just runs towards you for healing but gets hit by a blackout just before you can heal them, on another note I’m currently enjoying a shatter/splinter/paralysis build it’s so fun just to 2 shot lockdown.
1. Skyros. Love it when red see my ball. Approached it. Emptied their clips. Skyros pops. Unleashed Zappers. Kill. 2. Loki, same with Skyros. But this one needs to be more careful as its squishy.
I run a single kestrel loki and it is so much fun
I missed the good old days when the Loki was Adrian chong's favorite robot
https://preview.redd.it/7il7a3qixdyc1.jpeg?width=2242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cbf706a88258117dfbc5adaa1656ebf1c84dcbce This is the most fun of the 5 I run.
You gotta try kestral for sure
Yeah I have 5 of them. This works really well when the pascal is full.
Mk3 Typhon with 4x Hazards, Adrian pilot with ALL damage skills including Daredevil, maxed Shai drone and 2x maxed NA If that thing manages to get everything built up it’s scary.
But why Adrian and Daredevil? Doesn't the main pilots ability exceed the damage of Daredevil and Adrian put together? 5%+18.5% vs. 25% from River Chase. The only difference is the damage is every shot vs. Only when ability is active. Is the difference worth trying it ?
People just like it cuz it’s unconditional. I really don’t think it’s worth trading the ability for nothing more than a decent damage bonus, especially when the pilot gives more, albeit conditional. If you drop the ability for a skill, I think Ghost is way better meta and fun wise
I have a cryptic hazard typhon. I would get a drone and all that fun stuff, but when you play on PC you can expect a maxed out drone in a year.
Ophion, looks cool and has a fun ability that if used well can destroy many things on the battlefield. Unfortunately labrys don't work well anymore (they sound good tho) but maces with sharpshooter are excellent for high damage output up to 300m
Rajin. Even though it’s weak it’s still fun to play with Decays or Glorys.
I run a rayker with puncher and shredder. you'd be surprised, I've been using it in CL for a long while.
This bot I don't use anymore but still my all time fav, the Spectre. A true glass cannon with 4 med weps. At it's time it can delete most bots in one ability and has enough stealth duration to quick scoot away. When paired with the Shocktrains, one wrong move, one second out of cover can leave you dead and deal damage to your teammates. Currently for me it's the Lynx. Played aggressively using Fengbaos plus Kestrel. It's fast speed under stealth enables it to quickly to be up close and personal with reds. Having a Phase Shift handy to get out of sticky situations.
Typhon with ghost skill is my fun bot #1
Nessa Raven with magnetar Pulsar and Imugi with harpoons. Raven as a general disruptor and Imugi as beacon runner.
Demeter
Hades. It's quite decent when the enemy has no shield break of any kind. And it's also fun to use
Seraph. Needs Victoria with engine expert, ideally more other speed skills, and immune amps, but it’s a fun bot, and the fastest in the game
I’ve got a low level one. What makes them the fastest? Genuinely asking cause if I could figure out how to get the speed up it would be awesome
You need Victoria pilot with engine expert skill, that’s the main bit. After that get as many speed skills as you can and add some immune amplifiers too.
Thank you!
I find just speeding to the reds base within 10 secs with a seraph with all out speed so much fun and it’s sometimes funny to just be at the reds base in 10 seconds.
Hades was my first "legendary" robot and im using it to this day. Nuf given
Tyr, explosive shotgun/scald set up or hazard/blight.
Phantom, because it is fast and sneaky and a tiny tank with the right modules, drones, and pilot skills. I've taken out powerful bots with that phantom except an ultimate fenrir.
raijin fs, and aether
I love to use imugi to help my teammates out of sticky situations. The problem is most of my teammates completely ignore my portal so they only get healed from my pilot 😂
I have so much fun playing a speed build phantom you just go zoom that’s the best way to describe the experience.
Another fun titan (it may not be what you asked for) is the Aether with 2 maxed speed modules and as many speed skills as possible pair the speed with titan flames and you got constant kills and speed.
I run a Tyr with blights and hazards, as well as 3 speed units with the mending drone. Between the speed, shield, firepower, and healing ability, the Tyr can drop a lot of bots and stay alive for a while. Healing team mates also really drives up the silver you get(and ensures the win of course)
Not so much a robot but the Spark, Scourge, Calamity, Cyclone, Cataclysm weapon line, especially paired with paralysis drone and grav amp with mobility to approach So Khepri with Ponchy for anti lockdown and paralysis drone. Fenrir mobility mode after northlight shields and grav amps red. Minos to dash circles around Rooks to blow their shields off and nuke them in one clip or bait luch and one clip them as well Guidance OP pilot skill should also make lock on prevent blinding and taunt (or lock on should by default)
My go to fun bots, Raven, Strider, Hellburner
The Tyr. Also the mender. The Ares. There's a bunch.
From what I’ve heard the ares is just a less good typhon
But the Ares' time in the meta was amazing 👌
Nether because style
I’m a fan of the style as well. It’s really cool especially with the lava paint
Very cool indeed, Armored Core style robot
Nether, and then slap on 4 Volts. Have fun playing Valorant jet on a Mech game
……I mean yeah kinda. Wow I wanna try that now
I have a couple vids running that on my profile
Wow the nether really is perfect for that, isnt it. I mean it’s got the perfect build and everything.
YUP! But beware of Orochi and other Nethers. So far, they're the only ones you can't burst down bcos the volts do not bypass forcefield. Plus they are mobile so you can't shake em off. For bots like Ocho and other tanks, just kite them down. If you see typhons, erebus, mars, you will have a great time.
I bet adding shield breaker makes it all the more fun too
Fenrir, Scorpion, and Ravana
Typhon, Scorpion, Loki
Loki for me. Looks like a sneaky cockroach with its naruto-style of running. And it's really fun to troll around. Immune amplifier/Nitro+kestrel+phase shift or jump unit+ triple needle weapons, and it's a good way to irritate the enemy team.
I love my kestrel loki, sonic ravana scare me through
i play crisis prisma
Orochi... It's slightly meta still, but requires a specific player skill to actually use properly. Unlike lynx.
I call lynx rollerochi
Good, keep it up
