Yup, though the 2nd upgrade you get mid 30ish.


50)Sinergy X/(50)Mika.
(50)MaceX/(50)Encore

You get Upgrade at 32, and yes it stacks with Equip.

Can't wait for it, since Upgrade gets you:

Drones: Full Auto Laser

ProtBots: Photon Grenade (Moderate AoE, Disorient) and Seeker Drones (Minor damage, -Acc, -Perception, Disorient)

Assault: Swarm Missiles ( *drooool* )


Is it time for the dance of joy yet?

Ok, I'll have a quick *drooool* over those as well

Mind you, stacking two upgrades per bot on launch is going to take a hella long time.

Just had a horrible thought. Anyone seen Malta sappers in CoV yet and what would they do to my poor pets?

Given that the end draining attack of the Mu Strikers seems to do naff all to my robotic minions, I'd assume not a lot, and besides, while they're draining one robot, another n-1 (where n = your current number of minions) robots will be emptying laser fire/swarm missiles etc. into them...

I read a guide about bot masterminds, and apparently in the time it takes for Upgrade Bot to recharge you can Equip the rest of them. That would take ages...


Necrobond - 50 BS/Inv Scrapper made in I1
Rickar - 50 Bots/FF Mastermind
Anti-Muon - 42 Warshade
Ivory Sicarius - 45 Crab Spider

Aber ja, nat�rlich Hans nass ist, er steht unter einem Wasserfall.

They're 40+ mobs in CoH, but I guess they might put them in early in CoV. As for their effect on your pets, I don't think they'll really notice - put the mouse over their HP/End bar in your pet control window and you'll see that their end is waaaay higher than the standard 100 that us players get.
Also, even if the sappers can fully drain a pet, you have lots of of them - it'd take a lot of sappers to reduce the effectivness of your little army!

I've seen Malta in Warburg during beta, didn't see any Sappers though. However, the Protector Bots when being aggressive can drain their endurance bar so don't count on them being Sapper immune.

cheers folks.

yup, it is gonna take an age to fully equipe my puppets of Doom - or something. That only really becomes a prob if your in a team...cos not everyone has the patience to wait for the MM to fiddle around with a spanner and sonic screwdriver.

Have to admit, Im rather enjoying playing MM....easy to solo - well...easier then some powersets anyway. Only thing is wobots are gonna be a curse in pvp in the arena...clank clank clank clank etc.....

robotics are quite good in pvp i think, took me out in a few hits, but i was on my blaster. the knockback hurts. so far, only got a level 10 mastermind with robotics, so only 2 robots so it only takes about 15 seconds to upgrade them. cant wait till i got the whole collection, and trip mines... oooh


I am the Blaster, I have filled the role of Tank, Controller and Defender
Sometimes all at once.

Just started my Robotics/Force Field MM and had a wonderful PvP thought. Force Bolt with 3 accuracy, 2 recharge, keep the opponent pinned down to the floor while your robots opena can of whoop [censored] And thats only at a low lvl!
