Lol, no thank. Nothing against you man, Iām sure it would be fun.
But Iām already a general in an active clan and they already know I donāt plan to play with any of them in Arena.
This is one of my personal XO missions that makes the game harder/funnier for me.
My rule: If you ever see me in Arena or PvP I play solo. I have for 6 years and I donāt plan to change any time soon.
Even during the 3 years I lead/played top ten clans I did not play in a PvP group when we played missions. I have no problems with people doing it and I always promoted it with my teams, but it is personally something I donāt do because the whole āDoom Platoonā thing is not fun to me.
I might have a random night ever 6 or 12 months that I play PvP in a group for 20-30 min or just to help someone out with invasions or something like that, but besides that itās a no go.
Other people might restricted the weapons they play or their PS. But this is my āthingā.
CWs is really the only thing I have ever done with other players in game.

I have grouped in the past to help people (irl friends) that just started. But I donāt really have fun, because itās usually at 4k ps ā¦been there done that.

Close range; Aegis shotgun with atleast one hammerfall will be king.
Medium range; Nothung hovers, Gerrida Omamori tanks are already meta as fuck. Joules are extremely capable but hard to use compared to Noths. Joule is an ultimate general purpose weapon and I can see it getting a nerf.
Long range; Spikes got 100% pen and do 582 damage with 12 energy. Without recoil its very easy to split triggers and fire them separately to bully the fuck out of hovers with slow turning weapons. Astraeus will remain a shitty option with its very high skill requirement and pathetic damage because of 55% penetration.

Iām going to have to build one of these.
I have been trying to think of what Agus builds I want to make. Now that it is 2 energy it is pretty powerful.
If it was the Arena maps again, itd go like this:
Close range: Destructors
Mid-range: Destructors
Long range: Destructors on the way to mid-range
Bzzzt, your gun is gone. Itās like Mike Tyson said, āEveryone has a plan until they get punched in the face.ā
4 to 6 energy is now gone on contact, what now?
Playing devilās advocate, ill give the hammerfall build a chance based soley off its perk. Firedogs always have a puncherās chance as well, but that has more to do with the cloak than anything imo. MGs can work against Destructors, but its not up to them, its up to the Destructor player to miss.
I think the cyclone is a powerful weapon at 9kps

3 Destructors under 9kps? They shouldnāt be overpowered at 9kps

Agreed, I already build two 9k Cyclone builds for this mode.

878 hitscan perfect accuracy damage in 1 second. Every gun in the game thats not a relic pretty much is gone. Your counter? Ill give you a .99 second window to work with here hypothetically.

Honestly running a Kami puts these Destrcutors in their place usually, itās funny how little damage they do when thereās no heat

I think kami will be a good cabin for this mode, even if it bumps the PS a lot.
Fast, and the perk could save you against a lot of the things weāll likely see.

Just had a little build around and I can get a 120kmh dual fortune aegis kami under 9 if I really wantedā¦ just no radar or cheetah so I wouldnāt run it personally but you can get a fair chunk of legendary under 9k if you really want to

I think Iām going to experiment with three different strategies.
Iāll try fitting some legendary weapons on a glass cannon type build, but I suspect I wonāt like that. Iāll also try a bunch of all epic builds, and suspect theyāll be fairly well rounded. But I also want to try some with special weapons, and more armour. I doubt that will work, but if everyone else is playing glass cannons it might not be the worst choice.
Iām just going to wait, as Iām short on garage spots. So some point after I hear how it is I might try it based on what I might want to not keep or not from my existing builds.

You donāt need to be a glass cannon at 9k with Legendaries - 1200 to 1800 is an easy HP to reach and still have legendary items.
Also when you talk about glass cannon Iām thinking of like 800hp 18,000+ PS hovers, so something in the 1200-1800 range has more.
Are you talking full set of legendary weapons with epic cabin/modules/movement?
I find it hard to get that kind of setup below 9kPS and still have much armour.
Although if I use a lower level generator and less modules, I could definitely do that.
Iām reluctant to use lower rarity movement parts, as they get shot off so easily. And all the armour in the world is useless if you canāt move.
Fitting a full set does work on some legendary weapons, but some ledgendary items donāt need full sets to be powerful.
I know what you mean when you say āfull setā - normally based off of 16 energy - but I think in the case of 9k different weapons are going to have different numbers that are considered a āsetā
For example - to me - at 9k a āsetā of Cyclones is 2 guns.
But at 18k it is 3 guns 
But for a set of Athena
At 9k - a set is 2 guns
And at 18k a set is 2 guns
I will also start posting the HP amounts and other pars I use on the builds Iām posting in the 9k build thread.
Then if anyone wants to make their own they will at least know the base pieces to make their own build in that PS range.

Iāve seen plenty of 10k destructor builds. They are either running 3 guns and are super fragile with limited module versatility, or they got 2 guns on an Omamori and are a lot less threatening.
I fear the Hammerfall Aegis way more everything else. If you split triggers and keep activating the perks in cycles rather than salvos (fire one gun a delay after the other) there is nothing that anybody with a burst damage weapon can do to counter that. Hit em with the 1-2 hammerfall perk and then throw up a shield to repeat their perk.

I have a 9k triple destructor with around 2k hp. (Canāt remember exactly, not in the game). I will be posting it in the 9k build thread in the next week or so. (Need to get pictures and post other builds first)
