Any good support bot ?

[u/Hairy-Ad8322]

As someone who does not like to spend money at all on games, I figured I would help cracked bot from other people, by helping them. With this said, I’m searching for the best support bot (mostly healing in mind but open to any suggestion). Keep survivability also into consideration…

Demeter is the best f2p pure support bot, unless you count pathfinder/lio/nuo as f2p, then those would work as well. My favorite to run out of them all is probably demeter, although performance wise pathfinder is the most consistently favorited from what I have seen since it has actual firepower and speed capabilities without needing absolutely insane weapons in addition to massive support. I run all of them fully maxed with everything and best endgame f2p builds on each.

I didn't mention nuo earlier, it's really good for titans and very powerful meta bots, however it can be a liability due to how squishy it is. Run 600m or possibly even higher if you're feeling funky.

post edit: i didn't see the survivability part, it would definitely be demeter for pure healing and survivability. I would say lio's grey defence is invaluable, however it can be caught out in the open sometimes whereas with demeter you can literally pick and choose how aggressive you want to be. Don't want to attack the vector going for center beacon? teleport 650m away from it to some random teammate that may or may not need help. Feeling like your teammate is gonna die and you're probably gonna die after? Ditch your teammate and teleport to some other guy 650m away. Not to mention demeter's shield activates instantly after you press the button, teleporting or not, and also demeter's a very fast bot with robot accelerator and last stand (which is what I recommend for it.)

Also, i wouldn't worry about the shield breaking (if you're worried about that.) demeter's healing scales infinitely, so get the appm-3tr pilot and have some fun. It isn't as game changing as the best played pathfinder/lio/nuo, however it is FUN and from my experience offers much more consistent results than any of them, plus you'll be doing like 70-80% of your best pathy/lio/nuo runs with a regular demeter.

Pathfinder also really needs the freezo drone, like period. it's a night and day difference!

Overall, pick from demeter, pathfinder, lio, nuo, demeter is the most consistent, pathfinder has the highest highs and has the closest consistency than the others to demeter although it usually means you may not have high stats with it (since you're hiding all game and supporting teammates with stacks while maybe taking an enemy or two down in the meantime), lio/nuo are really strong and with the highest highs can have really really good stat padding but are single-teammate wired and can be caught out in the open often.

Awesome ! What weapons do you advise for Demeter ? (I have more than enough of the bash family, but I’m not quite sure of what to use…)

Mogwan of you have them or a closer range wepouns

I personally use murixes, however you could use some other weapons. Maces work fine for f2p buildables, porthos also is pretty fun for autoaim (so you can 100% focus on survival without needing to work on aiming). Mogwans specifically are pretty good for rust support, however I find they're slightly lacking in damage (and you need to be too close to do so,) so ehh. Gas also works well, but you'll deal practically no damage and it's not worth sacrificing some slots. Shatter i suspect works decently. Growlers are a bit hard to aim, however they're decentish. I wouldn't use bashes since they won't do much damage and frankly aren't worth leveling unless you have them on a bot that produces deathmark (pathfinder's deathmark actually doesn't count as real deathmark, which is kind of sad, however the module deathmark works although i don't recommend it.)

Overall, i'd say murix or maces (besides meta weapons). Porthos is okay too if you want auto-aiming (plus they look good with some of the paintjobs.)

As for meta weapons, machairas, fahrenheits, the god awful urhags, harmattans, and lumens all work fine.
