bots are constantly getting nerfed making them almost useless. even yeti which does huge damage now needs to be upgraded twice for it to do big damage. As a player with IA, i realized it is horrible after they lowerd the focus damage to 20. The only bot that is still in the rankings is the hazard only because is does 6 damage even if u have no focus.

comment!

In every single release, there is a new robot.

I mean, atm there are 4 robots availible through promos, another robot that came with the Arborgeddon release, and next week there'll probably be another one! Bots have become a major focus in ED imo, and I personally don't want to see more bots for a while. Not only that, but only a small amount of robots stay availible IG for more than a few weeks, since most robots go rare and you'd have to wait for an event to get your hands on a new one. This counts for armors and weapons availible through promos as well, but at least there are other options.

Now, I know what you're thinking, "But they release new weapons and armors too! It's not like they focus more on robots, if anything there are more of everything /but/ robots!", and I agree! The only thing that bugs me is how robots are one of the main ways to get new cores atm. (Since hey, Dage cannons and Botanical Nightmares didn't exactly meet the expectations here) (And by that I mean no cores)

I don't even use a bot for my build, so I'd rather see the Devs spend time on new cores that don't require 5 Focus to even be slightly useful. This might be a bit of an exaggeration, but I feel like focus builds are their biggest priority atm.

I might be completely wrong though! So feel free to share your opinion on the overflow of robots below.

Well for the latest bot nerf I remember Goony saying that you can blame him for that.

Not all bots are made for attack power though.

Which the Infernal android, gamma bot, and the Botantial borgs, were made for offense the other bots were made for tactical uses besides damage.

Assault bots = remove debuffs
Yeti's (since there are so many of them) are used to disable your opponents gun and aux
Azreal's borg = Remove buffs
Bio borg = Used to reflex 50% of melee damage back to the user for 4 turns
pyro fly = shuts down one of your opponents top 3 moves for the rest of the duel
Botantical hazard = does 60% focus damage with poison
Bunny bots = makes strikes backfire on you for 3 turns.

 Most bots are pretty useless in terms of damage. Their only use now is their special which deals decent damage while having a neat added effect, such as the yetis' chomp ability. Poison spores is currently the best offensive bot tool because it deals a heck of a lot of damage over time and can be used multiple times.

The poison bot is useful as a secondary way of attack, particularly hurtful to TLMs and TMs, that intake damage without any mana return. Insignificant impact to BH, BM, M, and CH since their main passives don't return energy.

The Pyro Fly bot may not be as useful at stable, it can go wild.

The Yeti bots can hurt support builds, maybe strength builds, etc.

Other bots may not be effective in one area, but they are in another. Don't judge a book by its cover.

Bots are still pretty helpful to me. I wouldn't touch this nerf because bots still do more damage than your sword at 5focus. Plus you are encouraged to buy a bot for it's effect.

Well I would say the whole game is getting useless
Look what I mean:
Support/str mercs- Nerfed support/str
Tech mage- requirements as strength in plasma
Blood mage- Put the hp low for all classes, so str BMs cannnot have high health str builds
Bounty hunter- Massacre
Tactical Mercenary- nerf 5 focus tms/ support tlms/ str tlms
Cyber hunter- Massacre + static nerf from b4.
Balance is very bad when playing any gamemode

I really disagree here. Bots are extremely useful because of their variety. Some are only for dealing large amounts of damage, some have damage-related specials, and many others don't even need focus to be used effectively.
