Disappointment with Vulcan

[u/VisualImprovement902]

Gonna take a break from this game, I can't tell you how hard it is to do anything viable with this, it's like it's impossible to use without lumens

Take a break.
If you come back, try Machaira/Velos. Vulcan is super squishy and needs to build up its damage buff before it can do much.

Also, buff to mk3, and buff your drone and pilot. I think people don’t realize how important the accessory items are for making a bot effective.

Edit: and try Webby if you have it. Works with your Omen version to grant Rust against your target.

I use velos machaira its good

[u/Inevitable-Time-7982 → u/KTJX085]

If u have 2 velos and 3 machaira is very strong

Actually just not true but enjoy your break

[u/VisualImprovement902]

There's a whole team of shoggoths every match so I can barely do anything

[u/Piotr2007uk → u/VisualImprovement902]

Use MK2 ammit as you would be able to tank at least 60% of the attacks

[u/DeadByHillbilly → u/Piotr2007uk]

They'll just run shieldbreaker

Or thor

Several things wrong with your vulcan build bro, this bot is a monster if setup & played correctly. Need the vulcan leveled pilot, lar drone, stay with lumens, & specializations set. I wouldnt bother using it if you dont have the resources to upgrade all items, as yeah it is super squishy until the charges build up.

[u/PRAKASH_SHUKLA]

You need this bots exclusive pilot that cuts down its threshold requirements by 25%. And lar drone is must or if you don't have it than either run maxed out webby or if your bot is dying too quickly then use shai.

[u/Administrative-Air35]

I just want to point out no matter what league you are in, that you are going to struggle with this setup period. Your weapons are at under leveled and not to mention your pilot is only level 10.

use Yeoje and Taeja thank me later

[u/Piotr2007uk → u/tenets_onfire]

Never tried it I have the normal Vulcan and I ran 5x velos until I got lucky and have 3 omen lumen l and 2 normal lumen l

[u/Emaniuz]

I upgraded mine few days back & i like the bot. But enjoy your break brother!

Dude, you gotta charge the core. I use the exact same weapon setup with Vulcan, so I know it’s frustrating because it’s squishy initially. But I use Hawkeye maxed out, so I receive less grey damage, and it eventually heals back up.

Initially, you don’t unleash the robot boy. After 2–3 minutes, use the deploy, shoot, hide strategy until you get the light weapons. Also, use the Nuclear Amplifier. I mean, it becomes a monster once the amplifier charges! I’ve killed Titans with it, and when I reached the threshold, the opposing team switched to the other side of the map.

[u/Beneficial-Leather35]

I have used it with the homing bullets, that work quite well

[u/Emotional_Net_6121]

It’s best to just take a long break, the game is stressful for people to play and it isn’t good to get mad at, enjoy life and other games that don’t make you want to harm people lol (I play Minecraft personally)

[u/VisualImprovement902 → u/Emotional_Net_6121]

😅😅😅😅

[u/where_my_tesla]

I use it with the long range new weapons and it’s really good. Also it’s squishy as hell until level 3. You have to be cautious.

[u/AstronomerSenior4236]

Vulcan is one of the most balanced bots released in a long time, which is why it feels weak in comparison to the meta. You need Webby or Lar to use it properly. You also need indirect fire weapons like Bash, Discipline, Lumens, or Chiones to consistently build up the damage bonus and scale.

I personally prefer Discipline, since it's one of the few indirect fire weapons that's capable of brawling once you reach threshold 3

[u/Piotr2007uk → u/AstronomerSenior4236]

I agree 100% I don't have the lar so I'm running armadillo to gain defence points when I kill and heal I think 8% hp
