    A tech bot that is not shockwave or blaster

    Rhinox and mirage

    How come
  • Gunz0Gunz0 Posts: 2,949
    Rhinox has great bleed on his ranged attacks, SP2 and SP3. Plus that Beast Purification synergy. (He isn’t a non-ranged bot)
    Mirage’s SP3 activates his best mode, just avoid the opponent’s basic attacks and you’ll gain a ton of attack buffs

    The only 2 non-ranged Tech bots are Soundwave and Mirage

    How do you figure Rhinox is not a non-ranged bot? He has a melee heavy, and 2 of his specials are also melee.

    Soundwave is less of a non-ranged bot than Rhinox.

    His heavy is ranged (although it is close range) and all his specials are at least partially ranged.

    Normally the heavy decide if a bot is melee/ranged style, except Grindor.

    I will think on it
  • SparkShredderSparkShredder Posts: 1,300
    @Manthro I guess rhino all special are melee,, his sp2 has only ranged shot at end but it short range ,right?
  • SparkShredderSparkShredder Posts: 1,300
    Mirage is both long range and short range..
    Long range... Use ranged in burst of two and sideswipe after two shots and use sp1...
    Short range melee and sp2

    Actually.... His s3 is only melee for the launch into the air... The rest is not considered melee, unless I've been extremely lucky for a year and never triggered BC bleed off his s3

    How is his sp2 short range? It shoots a shot from across the screen and then he teleports to where you are standing.

    What game have you been playing? His s1 is the short range special.

    Mirage also excels at long range fighting. His ranged attacks are armor piercing and after s1 they also burn power, and he has a 10% power rate bonus on basic ranged shots.

    He does both long range and short range fighting very well. Highly versatile.

    His sp1 gives ranged buff helping in basic ranged and.. You can afford getting close range once a while..
    His sp2 is UNBLOCKABLE,, it doesn't matter if ranged attack is blocked,, and UNBLOCKABLE remains after special attack hence you're getting free 15-20 hits by stuns...

    Maybe hits were not CRIT and yeah you might be lucky,,, bc don't trigger bleeds on EVERY CRIT hit.
    Maybe they Can be non melee

    Ratchet relies on basic ranged to deliver the bulk of his damage through shock debuffs and enable his stun ability.

    Yes he has a melee heavy, but the playstyle is ranged based.

    OP was asking for short range tech bots.

    Otherwise, Ratchet is definitely a player favourite once he is fully forged and can deal respectable damage.

    Mirage is flat out amazing, which is of course why Kabam won't give him to me as a 4*
