W.H.I.T.E.O.U.T Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 (edited) Hello, pilots, and welcome to this quick guide that I made to help newcomers with a certain issue that tends to pop up a lot when it comes to building mechs -- What drone goes with what build and what is each drone good at doing? So, yeah, I'll go through each of the E-M/L-M (drones below those rarities are either irrelevant or are precursors to one of the drones below) drones that are currently in the game and their current state, so the guide won't be accurate once one of the following drones gets a buff/nerf or simply gets removed. Without further ado, let us begin... Hurlbat (E-M) Strengths - Low weight, low energy cost, low heat generation, easy-to-acquire, and dual stat cap damage Weaknesses - Low damage, specific build type needed for maximum efficiency, no resistance damage, and rapid efficiency drop-off when climbing the arena ranks Best Build - "Cap Damage" Hybrid Void (E-M) Strengths - Low weight, low energy cost, low heat generation, and easy-to-acquire Weaknesses - Low damage and rapid efficiency drop-off when climbing the arena ranks Best Build - General Early-Game Physical Tonto (E-M) Strengths - High damage, high resist damage, and high rank-climbing potential Weaknesses - Moderate weight, higher energy cost, higher heat generation, 2-4 range limit, and generally rare Best Build - Mid-Range Early-Game / Late-Game "Fighter" Physical Selfish Protector (E-M) Strengths - High damage, low energy cost, low heat generation, and high rank-climbing potential Weaknesses - Moderate weight, low resist damage, backfire, and generally rare Best Build - General Late-Game Physical Selfish Guardian (L-M) Strengths - High damage (highest damage dealing drone in the game), low energy cost, low heat generation, and maximum rank-climbing potential Weaknesses - Heavy weight, low resist damage, backfire, and extremely rare Best Build - General Late-Game Physical Greedy (L-M) Strengths - Low weight (the lightest drone in the game), high resist damage, low energy cost, and low heat generation Weaknesses - Low damage, really demanding in terms of build type for maximum efficiency, mostly useless due to other drones possessing the ability to do as much resist break for more damage, and extremely rare Best Build - Hell if anyone knows... Solar Torch (L-M) Strengths - High damage, high resist damage, and high rank climbing potential Weaknesses - Moderate weight, higher energy cost, higher heat generation, 3-6 range limit, and extremely rare Best Build - General 3-6 Range Based "Fighter" Physical; Dual Spartan Carnage / Dual Frantic Brute DustMaker (L-M) Strengths - Low weight, low energy cost, low heat generation, and cooldown + regeneration damage Weaknesses - Low damage, specific build type needed, no resistance damage, rapid efficiency dropoff when climbing the arena ranks, and extremely rare Best Build - "Cooldown + Regeneration Damage" Hybrid Backstabber (L-M) Strengths - Low energy cost, low heat generation, and is the only drone in-game to have a pull ability (1 pull per shot) Weaknesses - Heavy weight, slightly lacking in damage, no resistance break, and extremely rare Best Build - General "Hugger" Physical/Heat/Energy If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions, feel free to comment... But until then, farewell for now, pilots!

Through failures, one can pave a path to eventual success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
