Hey Commanders!
Let's talk Masteries. There are quite a few Challenges out there in New Quintessa, and having the right Bot for the Job is only half the Battle.
If you were to give some newbies tips on Mastery setups, what would they be? What Masteries do you use? What's the essential Mastery for your favourite Bot?

I believe they call it Nanno Repair it’s perfect 👌 to keep activating Wheeljack’s sheilds
I would not bother with defensive masteries since at the higher levels you still take alot of damage.
Almost all my masteries are defensive and I play at the highest levels and use little to no items. The key is don’t get hit...but It depends on the player. I will say that damage based mods in AM do hinder the defensive masteries a little but it still helps. Also offensive masteries are pretty sweet not going to lie lol.
Defensive masteries:
Nano Repair: is good for Wheejack on defense in AM. It won’t save you or make you immortal but it’s a pain on bases and it adds extra time to the shield unless you are fighting DOT
Feeding Frenzy: people think it’s trash but I learned from a high level player when I started really playing AM that this is the difference between 3 items and 0 items. If you use a bot that last longer periods because of their sigs (MV1, WJ, Ratchet) I would consider this. Also if you fight a lot of sharks or are a boss killer it can go a long way.
Enhanced Block: if you block at all, which some guys do because of lag or they haven’t learned the bot tendencies yet, this is a really good mastery.
Offensive masteries:
Deep wounds: a lot of bots cause bleed damage, especially some of the favorites(OGP, Drift, WB) consider spending the pinky on it. Also if you run Sword Masters this is essential.
Suppression: this mastery can win fights for you and you won’t even realize it. It you stun an opponent at the right time (like wasp) when his sig kicks in (revive) he has a chance to not revive....that’s pretty cool
Assassin: the last one I’ll talk about. It’s all basic mastery cores which is a huge plus. Opponents Under 18% health your bots increase attack by 40% when its maxed. That’s awesome. Also decreases defensive abilities trigger rate by 25% so someone like Grindor won’t trigger armor as often.

This one has me curious, as a heavy shockwave and Megatron user. Anyone ever fully invested in it, and is it useful?
Sequencer
Courage
Pierce
Crit rate and Damage
Deep wounds
Assassin
Glass Cannon
and Star seeker (only 1 not maxed and at lev 3)
I love the combo of pierce and the criticals which constantly gives excellent damage increase. this setup really is about finishing fights quickly and not taking many hits, I'd say run this setup with caution if you block a lot or can't string a decent combo together. There's not a lot of forgiveness when you eat a big combo in higher AM.
I can't find a reason to place any points in the defense masteries and the only real reason I would is if I had a WJ (his nano combo is ridiculous but sadly no 5* WJ for me).
I am very curious to try out feeding frenzy based off what Bofad said earlier, sound like that can be a very useful tool as AM difficulties continue to rise, but currently I'm loving the all out offence.
So the numbers given don’t apply to both stun and shock? That’s a bummer. I thought it was a minimum/maximum % thing. Oh well.
They could have made that a tad clearer, or just give shock a mastery of its own as it doesn’t compare to bleeds with deep wounds. Only disadvantage of bleeding over shocks is primal since he can heal from bleeds. But then again I wouldn’t bring a dot heavy bot against primal if I could help it.
I just fill out at least one of each Mastery other than the annoying ones (like perm bleed), and then I choose the best one out of the remaining Rank 1 Masteries and level that one up when I’ve filled it all the available ones.
I’m probably going to reset all my Masteries sometime lol.

Get some.
Masteries are for the feeble
Ninjas gonna ninj.
Yeah. Nano Repair on Wheeljack is the ultimate defender. The only way past that shield is damaging debuffs like Bleed, Burn, Shock or Dark Burns. The only two defenders I can think of who are either tied or better are Grindor on Security Module or Repair Station or Ultra Magnus on Security Module
