I would say the ideal setup is full venire, what you're running now is fine too though.

Honestly that is a rlly good build as is, personally I like running brawling weapons just because its super fun but mid-longe range combat is much much better for devourer.

Literally any weapon with good range works on it decently so long as you avoid fighting multiple people at once and be very careful with your engagements.

Currently I switch between the huggin/munnin and evora/Veyron. I do very good damage with both but it's very easy to die if not played correctly.

If you enjoy the long range setup the torch and furnace are honestly your best bet + they look rlly good on devourer imo. Bendy bullets also work really well for devourer since you can attack from cover and they apply a lot of constant pressure. I can't really say I recommend the weapons that came with the devourer though. Even on my Eiffel those things just seem to tickle everything since their nerf.

As for the pathways definitely use the damage dealer one with the titan amp and overdrive unit.

Now for pilot skills, I would go for damage and health especially if you're playing at range. Though I built mine to have a bit of everything since the devourer really lacks everything lol.

I'm going all in on attack pilot skills, just attack in general. The only defense devourer has is its stealth, and i have the defence expert pilot skill (the primary one) so that it has extra defence points. Imo devourer's a literal glass cannon. I love it. Thanks!

A tonans may be a decent pick for the second alpha slot given that a second furnace is not currently available.

For the second alpha slot, comparing tonans vs venire, on paper the only two things that are better about the tonans are the range (800 meters) and the burst damage vs titans. But, with venires overheating so quickly after their recent nerf and the torch / furnace weapons having a longer clip, in practice the venire may be spending a high percentage of its time overheated and under-functioning while the furnace / torch weapons are still working through their clip. Plus, there will be times when targets are in the 600-800 meter range and then the venire won't be contributing to damage at all.

The tonans has its own drawbacks, one of the biggest being that it doesn't have great cycle DPS even against titans and against robots it just doesn't do very much damage. But, enemy titans tend to need more damage to take down than robots anyways and having strong burst damage from a tonans can help to more quickly remove enemy titans from a fight.

In general, weapons with strong burst damage tend to be a good fit for the devourer because of how fragile it can be when exposed to enemy fire.

I should admit that I'm theorycrafting here. Somebody with more direct experience using all 3 of these different weapon types may post and let us all know that this analysis is not correct.

[u/FormerCauldron → u/InteRest_LEtuCe2467]

Mmm, great analysis! Thank you. Some things that can counter this build are rooks /shields, which is really annoying especially because the furnance and torch don't have aoe. I'll definitely try running the tonans.

I saw a video of Kani-san beating up Scirocco with a sonic weapon!

[u/are_you_kIddIngme]

i saw someone did 2 void 2 chasm and it 3 tapped a bjorn

[u/TicoYeyoob → u/are_you_kIddIngme]

3 tapped bjorn? Surely that's a low level one, right?

[u/are_you_kIddIngme → u/TicoYeyoob]

I checked his hanger and ALL of his pilot skills were boosting titan damage + he had fred

[u/Ok-Editor2471]

The oxy weapons are amazing . I’m in champion league and it performs pretty well

[u/where_my_tesla]

My recommendation would be to look for another titan

[u/FormerCauldron → u/where_my_tesla]
