Greetings Earthlings! Yes, most of you are from other realms of the universe...this is not for you. I came here, to CoV, in order to spread my miasma. Disguised as a Super Villian <cough>, I offer you this guide in building as close to my level of perfection as possible. (This is not entirely possible, at all.) Do not fret nor fume you carbon-based, 'cape-clutchers'...I provided the build up front, and the deception <ahem> I mean...reasoning...(yea)...The reason 'why' I built myself in this particular order follows.
Mi*as*ma: A thick vaporous atmosphere or emanation.
"It is your mission to become perfect. It is my mission to decieve from you the truth..." -GangBot, MM/R/DM
Slot the Powers as noted above for maximum output for your current level. I purposely slotted this build in the order of importance, considering solo vs. team vs. current level.
THE REASONING, IN BRIEF (The first 20 Levels reviewed)
01)Battle Drone-One to start, two more before level 20.
01)Twilight Grasp-This is your lifeline, your healing power.
02)Tar Patch-This debuff/slow mob power is a must have.
Level 3 - Slot BATTLE DRONES
04)Darkest Night-Use this power on Bosses/Lt.s/AV's
Level 5 - Slot BATTLE DRONES
06)Equip Robot-Buff your Bots!
Level 7 - Slot TAR PATCH
08)Hasten-Speed up those powers, prelude to SuperSpeed.
Level 9 - Slot TWI GRASP and HASTEN
10)Assault-Boosts Damage by 36% in the final computation.
Level 11 - Slot TWI GRASP and HASTEN
12)Protector Bots-More Bots, More Damage!! They Buff Too!!
Level 13 - Slot PRO BOTS
14)Super Speed-Run fast and hide well with this build.
Level 15 - Slot PRO BOTS
16)Swift-Has many benefits, used to take Stamina later on.
Level 17 - Slot PRO BOTS and TWI GRASP
18)Health-Good health regen, used to take Stamina, as well.
Level 19 - Slot TWI GRASP
20)Stamina-FINALLY! Wave goodbye to 90% of stamina woes.
Level 21 - Slot STAMINA
22)Shadow Fall-Provides a small, but useful stealth-like buff.
24)Tactics-Crank up the Accuracy on your Bots here.
26)Assault Bot-Yea!! Another pet...this one likes to disorient.
28)Fearsome Stare-Slotted right, mobs tremble then die.
30)Recall Friend-'filler power' take whatever you like here.
32)Upgrade Robot-Woot!! More weapon gadgets and nukes.
35)Howling Twilight-Sometimes...bad things happen, rez em.
38)Dark Servant-THE END...Is there more? Slot it any style, I use Immobilization, some use fear, anything will work fine.
Three things you will always want to remember:
1. Control your Pets. (Goto/Stay/Follow)
2. Debuff the enemy. (Accuracy/Movement)
3. Heal. (Yourself, 'Close Teammates', Pets)
You are not an island with this build but, perhaps, when the time comes..you won't need the mainland. You will sometimes out-heal the healers, out-tank the tankers, and perhaps out-stealth the stealthers but you will never 'out-grow' the fun.
Mastermind Binds and Pet Controls make this build even better...Read the instructions, USE THEM!!
In conclusion, if you follow this guide to the letter, ruling this planet will be just that much easier for me. Perhaps, I will induct the best-of-the-best into my armies. It's either that or become fertilizer for the coming civilization. If you have some time to toy with new ways to enjoy the game, try this build to level 10 or even 14. You won't regret it.
