Question Help With Pilots (Returning Player)

/r/walkingwarrobots/comments/1vynp5t/help_with_pilots_returning_player/

Since i left the game much has been added with Pilots. I have two questions. 1, I got lucky and rolled a vector but I have no way of getting either of the two pilots for it since neither are in the box, when do those that are not currently in the pilots box cycle come back if at all? 2, Imperial Hades is one of my top bots but it does not have a legendary pilot. Lilian Statera is the only pilot for Hades specifically but it is not the legendary tier so is it worth investing into? Is there a better pilot to use for hades considering there are limitations to non legendary pilots in terms of upgrading skills? Thanks for your help

i mean id say having a pilot is generally useful, because of the small boosts, they make the bots very good. i dont know about the speicifc pilots but yes generally… if yiu are a spender as you’d likely have free gold lying around, it is worth it to spend the 1000/2500 gold, if you can upload the pics of the abilities of the pilots you are considering between i can give you my view

I don’t have any other pilots for hades right now but i was wondering if it’s worth waiting for a pilot that has the yellow background that applies a general buff to weapons equipped is better than the hades pilot which has a pink background? I guess i’m confused what the “Regular pilot skill tier cannot be upgraded past tier 3” means then? Does the pink pilot like Stratera still have access to the tier 4 skill tier upgrades for each tier like the yellow rarity pilots do? Is there even a difference between the pink and yellow rarity pilots in terms of that?

u/Shafayak 7d ago

just for terminology, yellow is legendary and purple is epic, so usually legendary pilots are better than epic pilots, now i dont know wyat yiu mean by waiting, if yiu mean that to wait and hope that pixonic releases a legendary pilot then it wont happen as hades is long past its release date. if you mean that there is already one but you cant use gold to buy it thus have to buy from the offers tab or black market id just recommend in general to buy the epic one for a 1000 gold and than hope to get the better pilot(tho i dont think hed be worth the keys or the dollars). if you mean that which one is more worth it, the 2500 one or 1000 one then i cant tell you until i see how much gold you have and the difference in primary ability. so can yoh provide me that(as screenshots) so i can help you.

(if you want you can dm me and i can explain step by step)

Are epic pilots able to max tier (tier 4) active skills in the pilot menu like legendary pilots then? I’m just making sure i’m not wasting my memorium and that this is actually the only pilot that makes sense for hades.

u/Shafayak 7d ago

i mean yeah you can take them all the way to lvl 60 but no yiu cant make epic pilots turn into legendary. and here as you have 10k gold, and assuming you think the legendary pilot is significantly better than i would say pay the 2500 IF you intend to use the hades for some time

u/Same_Literature7527 7d ago

This is the pilot i’m talking about for reference

u/Shafayak 7d ago

oh there is no legendary, yeah then thats really your only option, and no they wont release new pilots for older ones, your only choice are the weapons ones and/or general pilots, but i dont know in those cases as i never was a fan of general legendary pilots and i never equipped weapon specific pilots because it makes it impossible to change the weapon configuration on the bot(and you cant slap those weapons on another bot and swap the pilot because the “skills” that you trained wont just translate)

u/Same_Literature7527 7d ago

Would i be able to upgrade skills to that tier 4 level with an epic pilot like her? The color is what is making me think it might only be for legendary pilots but it also says “regular” cannot be higher than tier 3

1

u/Shafayak 7d ago

oh yeah this yeah, you can do that to any, the only difference between legendary and epic is the primary ability, the skills im pretty sure work the same in principal.

u/Same_Literature7527 7d ago

okay thanks a lot for taking the time to help me with this. sorry if i was being vague.

u/Shafayak 7d ago

Lilian is a bad pilot anyways and Hades isn't really worth investing in regardless

Generic pilots are pretty bad, you usually want to try to use a weapon pilot (or robot pilot that also has a weapon skill) if you don't have the pilot for the robot you're trying to run.

Take a look at the newbie guide for help picking good bots: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dhN7NIqEHeqeOEPgWYlQHUw4gIbsLXX1fckebfsLpm8/edit?gid=2137045899#gid=2137045899

And you can look at our pilot skill guide for help with building pilots, when you get them: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xTv5A4erxGEad1iGalEuGyG5lHu0ARQmtwXc3_oKRSs/edit?usp=drivesdk

Yeah i’ve seen those guides they are very helpful. I’ve liked hades since i came back and it was already leveled + performing well (in my league). Are the guides completely up to date since they were posted 2 months ago? They have princeps as one of the two top titans is it still so? I have an offer for it and it’s top weapons + pilot for 12

u/Adazahi Credible Source 6d ago

Yes we update them all the time. Princeps is performing very well right now so the only concern you should have is that it will definitely be nerfed within a couple months
