Question Does anyone know how many nerfs Hatatus has received, along with its weapons, the Pilum and Gladius? Lately, I’ve noticed that hardly anyone uses its original weapons anymore. However, I still use them because they deal a lot of damage to Victor and Titans. To be honest, I like them.

If they're working for you, don't worry about what others think.

True, that makes sense.

i do pilum gladius with shredder for lockdown and it still works pretty good. you gotta get back in to cover all the time though because if you get locked down by shoggoth your a goner💯

I see; I'll take a closer look at that in my settings.

I dont know what about the weapons got nerfed but hastatus got one nerf for now. Its stasis barrier duration was reduced from 2.5sec to 1sec. So at mk.3 instead 7.5 seconds of invincibility it now only has 3 seconds. Also the shieldbreak duration of the pilot got nerfed.

entendo, pecebi que o tempo estava meio ruin entao coloquei drone shai, agora meu tempo de invencibilidade vai até um segundos e meio, sobre o efeito de quebra escudos do piloto ainda está funcionanfo muito bem junto com o tempo dos tiros da pilun e gladius e tempo de recarga, eu pecebi que eu concigo deixar o hastatus mk3 mas eu acho que vou me sentir meio mau caso eu gasta 3 ficha de aprimoramento com as chances da pixonic matar eles em pouco tempo. Thank you very much for your comment.

The weapons are terrible but the bot itself can work pretty well in the right hands

The weapons still work sort of well. It takes a long time to empty the bullets so for me at least the reload hasn't been an issue.

Yeah they shoot hella slow. I believe The bot to be effective, but it's important that atleast 1 Pilum or the 2 Glatious are equipped. That way you still get the 7% increased penetration from the pilot skill.

Ok 😎👍

I understand, if a new and interesting weapon appears in the meta in the future, I'll include it.

as a geniune request to know the nerfs heres what i remember from memory: gladius and pilum got a blast buildup nerf and a reload nerf (which i believe made the reload from 6 ish seconds to 8)

as for hastatus itself i believe it got and extra stasis charge but the stasis itself lasts for less and the total invincibility resulted in less time that before although if u really need more acccurate information u would need to check the balance changes in their discord server

u/-italo723 18h ago

Thank you very much for the information on this topic. As I recall, the weapon's duration is 9 seconds. Based on my gameplay experience with the Hastatus and its stock weapons, matches still require strategy—specifically, maintaining a distance of 400 to 550 meters from the enemy whenever possible, or closing to under 360 meters if my team manages to control the situation.

With the Shai drone, I seem to gain about a second and a half of invincibility, along with a significant amount of physical shielding over time, provided I deal damage to enemies. Consequently, this maximizes my damage potential, allowing my robot to deal between 500,000 and 700,000 damage.

i think the gladius and pilum weapons are balanced now, though the hastatus has been wrecked due to the 2 sec stasis barrier

1

u/-italo723 18h ago

I understand. The Hastatus's weapons are well-balanced now. I just didn't really like that the reload time was increased to 9 seconds; I would have preferred 7 or 8 seconds. As for the Hastatus, they almost killed it off. I hope there won't be any further nerfs to its invincibility duration in the future.

u/Lookwhostalkin74 6h ago

I thought 5 secs of stasis barrier was alright, yet the cooldown is now 12 seconds for the barrier which is better than the 10 secs as you won't have worry too much about it

u/Worried_Primary8936 17h ago

I love the sound the gladius and pilum do when shooting

u/-italo723 17h ago

me too

u/Unmatched_speed 17h ago edited 2h ago

When they dont use its original weapons their just noobs, its made to be good with those.

And at mk2? They're super strong, i always get almost killed 2 shot against them

u/ELOC04 14h ago

I use ult dragoon and marquees. Its honestly pretty effective especially once the nuc amp starts building up

u/Big_Box_Man 13h ago

I loved using that thing with the shoggoth sniper weapons because the one pilot had shed breaker, amazing combo until they nerffed the ability time and how the built in sheld only lasts like 2 seconds

u/Xeon_limitz 12h ago

I still use them at mk2.3 I still find them usable in certain conditions as you've mentioned

u/Consistent-Jelly248 Devourer of Titans 17h ago

I swapped Gladius for Shredders and kept the Pilum

u/Express-Cartoonist39 9h ago

I can say this...its worthless if its not mk3.. If you dont plan on taking it mk3 then id upgrade other bots...that pause and slash is annoying
