So I've managed to claw my way back into Champion league.. again.. and just got wasted by another squad of MK2 LVL12 Spectre running MK2 LVL12 Shocktrains.

A MK2 weapon does 20% more damage than a MK1 weapon.

A LVL 12 Shocktrain does 2,215 damage per shot, with seven shots. So 15,505 per full charge. Four of these on a Spectre is 62,020 damage.

A MK2 LVL12 Shocktrain does 2,658 damage per shot. With seven shots it's 18,606 per full charge. Four of these on a Spectre is 74,424 damage per shot!

• Each shot is fully discharged in less than one second
• It has a lock on mechanism so never misses,
• It is fully charged after 10 seconds
• It has a range that allows safe targeting away from high powered short range
• Plus the "train" effect of damage so from a MK2 12 ST that's another 37,212 damage to an unsuspecting bot, even if they're already taking cover.

This is truly the most powerful weapon in the game, not just by a small margin.

"Yeah, but kot, if you're playing in champion league, what do you expect?"

I expect a tough fight, but going up against these configurations is like bringing a gun to a drone fight. And it's not just champion league, tankers bring this kit down to lower leagues too. And I get it that people tank to get better competition, but using this kind of equipment in lower leagues is the new seal clubbing.

Chess would not have survived as a strategic and popular game if it was made by Pixonic or had any involvement with Ilya Smirnov.
