Ranked Bots by Class

Has anyone ranked the bots by class and synergy? I'm trying to make a roadmap for myself as I enter the 4* bots.

Right now my guess for top tier bots (not saying they're the total absolute best):

Scout: Barricade
Tech: Shockwave
Demolitions: Ironhide
Tactician: G1 Megatron
Brawler: Optimus Prime MV1
Warrior: Bludgeon

Thoughts? Can you post yours? Trying to get the community's gauge on this.

Thanks!

    Brawler- Primal. Quick and powerful
    Warrior- Bonecrusher. Bleed!
    Scout- Prowl. Controls a battle well
    Tech- Shockwave. His power drain and shock damage!
    Demolition- Galvatron. His offense output is the best.
    Tactician- G1 Megatron. Best all around TF. Can do it all

  • Some of you guys are missing the point, he's talking about synergys!
  • KittenPrimeKittenPrime Posts: 1,144
    Synergies wise
    Warrior: Bludgeon, synergy with most cons and swordsmasters
    Brawler: Optimus Primal, beast purification
    Tactician: Optimus Prime, healing synergy
    Demolitions: Megatron, Forged To lead
    Tech: Ratchet, healing synergy
    Scout: Windblade, swordsmasters
  • Gunz0Gunz0 Posts: 2,949
    Synergy wise, I'd say:
    Warrior: Bludgeon: Power Rangers SamuraiSwordmasters
    Scout: Windblade Power Rangers SamuraiSwordmasters
    Tech: Shockwave (Brain Drain) or Ratchet (heals IH&OPrime)
    Demo: Megatron (Forged to Lead)
    Tac: Dinobot (do I have to say it?)
    Brawler: Primal

    Warrior: Drift. Bludgeon is worst warrior bot there is if hound didn't exist and he wasn't a swordmaster bot. (Okay hot rod is debatable, but still). Let me assure you, drift is VASTLY better as the swordmaster bot!

    Scout: Windblade is top of any list, except "best non scout bot". To which "snark you, windblade anyway" is entirely a defensible opinion.

    Demo: well... let me get this out of the way. NOT ramjet. Ramjet is competing with tact bumblebee for worst bot IN GAME (hot rod also pretty bad). He has a fantastic synergy thanks to kickback, but forget that... kickback and motormaster is the true awesome pairing. Doubling ramjet debuff time is completely irrelevant because who gives a rip if he stuns twice as long. Demos should have devastating specials. He has crap damage specials. Great you can stun... ANY other demo and you wouldn't have needed the stun! That right there means .. worst demo in game! 5x the stun... still the worst demo! Do ya hear me now why ramjet haters rightfully hate ramjet?

    Best demo is easy easy easy galvatron. Crap fer synergies though. Ironhide I guess if you must combine? Demo Megatron is bad bot with best synergies otherwise

    Tact: dinobot. Swordmaster owns all tiebreaker hard. Plus... 10k from just a hard attack is sick any class. People just don't know. They just don't if they equate any tact as high damaging. Including OG1 prime. Including Megatron with two Armor down debuffs. Dude.... not even close to dinobot! Also, if you have him, you can do swordmaster AND beast master

    Brawler: primal is really NOT good in and of himself. But you need him to make beast AND swordmaster team. Mv1 is sick and has some synergies. MM IS dope as hell with kickback, though kickback himself is a blah scout option. It's really hard to distinguish, if synergy is included, between primal/mv1/ motormaster. REALLY tight conversation there.

    Tech: well rhinox fits into combo beast/ swordmaster team.

    But... shockwave is great on his own AND is needed for most deception teams. I would say shockwave.

    What level do you play at? Are you doing 30+ map 3 and 100% expert and master etc?

    I'm interested to see how peoples opinions may be reflected by the level of play, because before I was doing the hard content, swordmaster synergy was all I cared about. Now, it's all but useless to me and I value other stuff much more highly due to circumstance

    Yeah. Swordmaster took a huge hit with the nerf a bit back. Back then swordmaster was amazing and throwing up huge numbers. Nowadays, meh.

    Warrior: Arcee will simply melt your face off at range and has some good synergies with Ultra Magnus and Mirage. UM, Prowl and RC make for a great start to a good Autobot team(I really want RC). So much Bludgeon hate. Laughably, I actually prefer Bludgeon over Drift. Bludgeon can take a much better hit, doesn't lose much needed buffs if hit, has specials that actually do real damage(looking at you SP2), when he bleeds the opponent, they really feel it and has much better synergies than Drift. Hot Rod is the best anti-evade bot in game so idk where people keep getting that he's bottom tier one of the worst.

    Scout: Prowl #1 spot. Good synergies for autobots, power control with SP1, huge damage with SP2, power gain if duped. Windblade is a bit more lackluster with far weaker synergies but makes up for it with some okish bleeds. If you want a bleeding bot, go get Drift. If you want crits, go play Sideswipe. Windblade has use on a swordmaster team and that's about it. Kickback makes for a nice little addition to OG Decepticon teams. Barricade has some good MV Con synergies. Sideswipe misses out due to weaker synergies than even Windblade.

    Tech: Shockwave and Rhinox are probably top two for synergies followed closely by Mirage and then Soundwave. Shockwave is great for a fun all tech team and fits great on an OG Deceptigoon team and as previously mentioned, is solid on his own. Rhinox is a solid part of a Beast team. Mirage and Soundwave both are great bots by themselves and fit well into respective Autobot and Decepticon teams. Ratchet gets special mention thanks to his being the other half of an important synergy.

    Demo: Ramjet takes top spot here from a synergy position. Paired with Starscream, he gives +15% attack and ignores 75% of enemy bots armor on all ranged attacks to ALL Decepticons on team. That's a huge boon as a lot of the OG Deceptigoon team functions really well at range. Pair with Kickback and/or Motormaster and now you can go debuff happy with him and his teammate/s. MV Meg has some good synergies too with a MV Con team.

    Tactician: OG Meg and Ultra Magnus for leading respective Con and Bot teams. Both have some solid teamwide synergies when paired with right bots and OG Meg can get downright scary. OG Prime still has the single biggest carry synergy in game. Starscreams synergy with Ramjet is worth it to take right along side OG Meg plus his synergy with OG Meg makes for easy debuff fusing. Dinobot is half of the awesome Beast Purification synergy. MV Bee has some ok synergies but without a 4* variant, it fails to matter.

    Brawler: Primal here all the way. Combined with Dinobot and 1 other Beast Wars bot, the Beast Purification synergy is great. Motormaster works great on an OG Deceptigoon team paired with Kickback and/or Ramjet. Grindor is a great addition to a MV Con team. Grimlock fits well enough on a Ultra Magnus led Autobot team. MV1 Prime works ok with a MV bot team.

    Synergies so far have been looking good. Some bots have some really solid ones. Most have 'nice little touch' ones and some bots simply just don't have hardly any synergy going for them.

    My suggestion is to play your fav bots and enjoy. Synergies, while useful, are not going to break the game if you have them or not.
