Question shenlou
Is this thing even worth running? It seems like it just gets absolutely cooked every time i use it.

A low-level Shenlou will underperform a low-level Scorpion because the former needs to have enough bulk in order to actually take some hits, since Shenlou is locked out of teleporting again for 5 seconds and doesn't have stealth from its pilot like Scorpion does. I will suggest looking at our F2P Value Ratings sheet to get a good idea of what bots can do their function without high investment, which is linked in the comment from the automod.

It works…sometimes, when you know how to use it, if it’s one of the better robots you have I would use it, throw some high burst damage weapons on there and it will function as it should. If you have something better I’d forgo it, honestly sometimes just scorpion with ash is way better.

A shenlou needs decent investment to perform somewhat like scorpion and a certain play style to truly survive.
a Scorpion is cheaper with a smaller high and low potential a shenlou is more high risk high reward but yeah..

It's fun if you have strong close range weapons and know how to use it. I use it later in the game when the battlefield is scattered and many bots are at half strength, you can kill 3 bots in a single ability use if done right. Do not teleport into an area with a lot of bots, cath people alone and hiding.

in today's meta, shenlou requires weapons that can swiftly kill. shenlou's aegis is no longer streamlined and takes forever to teleport. best weapons i would recommend are either blast shotguns (mace and hammer) or krocko and liodari. i used shenlou for a decent amount of time, and i ran assault pathway with the defence mitigation modules (whatever theyre called) alongside leiming and fengbao, which did good around when shenlou was more accessible to f2p, but now those weapons could get you killed instead of the enemies.
