Let's Discuss Drones!

The flaw may be the only reason it's not treading in our inbalanced game for now, imagine if the hp limit was reduced to 50%, now how many shafts would get that big boost from afar, railguns, etc, all this damage for effectively free, since they do not use additional supplies. Majority of players, especially paladins would switch to it, considering they can self heal and mainly maintain 50% hp more easily than max hp. I do agree it needs a reworking, but values must be thought of very carefully, or there will be a greater change that may not be liked.

PS. I would still like the old trickster to return.

Perhaps it could function like Adrenaline in that it has a "max boost" at full health which decreases over loss of health and just stops completely after a certain threshold like 50% but that threshold is higher (like 90% or something) at low upgrade levels which encourages you to upgrade the drone as you get higher boosts and higher boost uptime.

Could u remind me, what was the old trickster like?

It let you cancel the cooldown of all inactive supplies when you activated speed boost and shared this effect with nearby allies.

Eats 300 crystals every minute in battle and takes over a million crystals to MU... seems fair to be more powerful than a 245k augment IMO.

[Apis_the_Professor 335]

Thoughts on Hyperion drone? Is it comparable to defender, booster and trickster strength-wise or more powerful? Is it worth spending 1.5M to MU it and could the use of supplies be financed by regular playing in MM?

It is one of the only drones worth spending that fortune on.

 

What makes a top drone for general gameplay is longevity. Longevity comes from manipulating supply cooldowns and potency of important supplies. Booster, Defender, Trickster and Crisis, the other drones encompassing the top 5, boost a particular supply's potency and its cooldowns at a time. A Booster, in addition to having higher damage output, will have that damage output available to them for the entire game with no need to worry about downtime on Boosted Damage. Same with Defender for Boosted Armour and Trickster for Speed Boost.

Hyperion's gimmick is that it removes downtime completely from the three important supplies. There is never a time where you're vulnerable to burst damage or high sudden damage. There is never a time where your damage output is low. There is never a time where you are slow. You will ALWAYS be on equal footing or have an advantage against any enemy at any moment. There is never a time where you are at a disadvantage. 

In addition to that, Hyperion significantly increases the cooldown of mines and repair kits. As if your longevity from always being powered up wasn't enough, you can extend it further with a fast, continuous flow of repair kits. You can leave many more mines than you would with Brutus that can catch enemies off guard, or may even save your team from that supply-less Wasp that somehow made it into the base uncontensted and went away with your team's flag. 

You get infinite supply uptime, and significantly shorter repair kit and mine cooldowns. All of this absolute greatness comes at a cost, though...

It would be advised to have a sizeable stash of supplies if you planned to use this as your main drone for the forseeable future. If you really want to stay alive for long, you will have to use the repair kits regularly. 

 

If you are interested in the Hyperion drone but you are on a budget in terms of supply stash, then the Assault drone is an alternative. Putting it frankly, the Assault drone is a weaker Hyperion. Hyperion's power is (unfortunately) justified by its supply consumption rate, and Assault (oh, so very unfortunately) has the same upgrade cost as Hyperion. If you have the crystals to instantly upgrade Assault, you probably have enough supplies to use Hyperion instead (wow, such diversity of choice).

Thanks for an insightful analysis mate, really appreciate such a thorough reply. I already have booster and defender maxed (old crystals income and the possibility to get premium from old containers had a significant impact and is the reason why I managed to have both) and couple days ago I pulled hyperion from the container and now I’m in a dilemma whether to upgrade it or not.

What kind of gameplay hyperion suits best? Active and offensive playstyle, defensive and more campaign-like one or would it be the best for a mixture of these two playstyles?

It's a jack of all trades because it forcefully has everything in some way. Infinite BA, BD and SB uptime, fast repair kits, fast mines. You can lay a mine every 10 seconds on defense with constant firepower, armour, speed and sustainability to match the pace. For offense, you will always have your speed and armour up with relatively fast repair kits along the way for base raids. For one-way base raids like Rugby and Assault, Trickster or Defender would get the job done more reliably. CTF and SGE require longevity between journeys for efficiency. 

 

Look at it from Assault's perspective. To get the most value out of Assault, you want a mid-long range turret and probably a medium or heavy hull. Because you do not have faster repair kits or mines. The only longevity you have there is for the durations of BA, BD and SB, and even that is choppy because Assault only reduces currently active cooldowns at the momet of activation. Your BA, BD and SB are activated at different times because it still has cooldowns between the supplies. You play supportive fire, helping out your attacking allies or weakening the enemy from a distance, all while obtaining kills to reduce to activate your drone to reduce your cooldowns. Trying to engage in melee skirmashes can backfire because of the choppy activation sequences stated prior. 

Hyperion does not need to worry about that. It entirely removes all cooldowns between BA, BD and SB. They all run out and pretty much the same time and you put them back on at the same time. An Assault that's running away and runs out of all supplies that was given to them by a Dictator can use BA + BD or SB + BD. The former leaving you slower and more susceptible to fire on your journey back to your base. The latter leaving you vulnerable to burst/sudden damage for 5 seconds at least. Hyperion has all of those covered. You have both armour to withstand the damage and speed to shorten your journey back, as well as fast repair kits. 

 

Hyperion is much less limited in what it can and can't do to be efficient. And it's up to you which way you want to use the drone. You'll likely use more repair kits for supportive play (continuous healing to keep your bulwark presence there on that part of the map) than one-way raids.

No. Hyperion becomes available in containers when you unlock it in the garage at Generalissimo.

[TheCongoSpider 8,962]

I initially didn't make this topic because Crisis is not readily available to use for the majority of the playerbase and the risks associated with pulling off some of the interaction changes, like the interactions when using Viking's Overdrive. You can only be in one supply mode at a time rather than having your boosted damage and armour at the same time with Booster. Additionally, some changes that Crisis has, Booster also has. 

 

Recent damage changes have shown that the Crisis drone was taken into consideration when balancing, so while you may not have the Crisis drone yourself, with this you may see the damage they can potentially do against you with certain turrets and/or augments. This will extend to the Camper drone for as long as it keeps its current damage boost. Some interaction changes may seem weird compared to the Booster thread because naturally, Crisis pairs well with a turret/augment that has high burst damage. 

 

Along with the Booster thread, these interactions changes occur under the assumption that turrets and hulls are Mk7+, with enemy hulls having a fully upgraded Brutus drone if DA need be applied.

I don't regret buying and fully upgrading it for two of my accounts. I think it is the best drone (and should be the first after brutus) for players that want to really enjoy objective modes and get the most out of heavy hulls (I never use Titan without it).

One of my other accounts has Hyperion (fully upgraded) and I like it too, especially for light hulls. Hard to choose between that and Trickster for best, but only because Trickster allows you to do so much more in the game.

I would get both of those before I'd get anything else. Booster and Defender are too orientated towards TDM and K/D for me.

My fourth account has Blaster fully upgraded and it's a great trolling drone and works well with light hulls, but using it with a medium feels like using Brutus sometimes. So Trickster or Hyperion will be the next drone for that one.

I would rate Trickster above Crisis and Hyperion tbh. The extra speed is incredibly useful in virtually every mode and moreover it’s unlocked relatively early.

With Crisis I am often forced to switch to Armour mode in a direct engagement which severely limits my DPS, though the extra speed is definitely nice. In fact, I would probably rate Hyperion above Crisis as well since you are never left without armour, damage and speed boosts.

So yeah - Trickster, Hyperion, Crisis - in that order. You could make an argument for Hyperion over Trickster but I still think that extra speed gives the latter the win here.

I was gonna say that, since the repair kit and in general, max level Hyperion lets your supplies stays for the whole time, it is very powerful now, but sometimes, speed helps a lot and Trickster takes the lead.

I fear about crisis as these other drones are taking its place, making it less rare.

I’m not seeing a lot of these three drones being used at the higher ranks but I am seeing A LOT of Blasters, Saboteurs and Boosters as well as the odd Defender.

Does lifeguard use extra repair kit when I press repair? If I understood description right, it should only use 2 repair kits when activated (user "killed"). I am interested in upgrading this drone because it is possible to have BA almost always equipped.

Ngl  it is based, but all of those except hyperion and crisis have an effective downtime period. And crisis has the limitation of not being able to have more than 1 supply either, making it only really useful in 1v1 situations or camping.

Personally, hyperion is really the top meta, trickster can do very well tho due to movement speed; but does suffer against any jamming as do booster and defender,

It really depends on how you use it, but I would assume between 70-240 per match. Of each supply.

One game had me using 51 RK, 249 BA. 306 BD, 280 SB, 63 Mines and 15 Batteries.
Assuming a 50% supply sale; that comes to around 28.5k crystals worth of supplies used in 1 game.
