Ten bucks says people are going to start asking you to determine what roles their builds are. But this is probably one of my favorite videos. Time to analyze and build a competitive hanger
This video is an example of what sets you apart from most of the other content creators out there. You're not just showing off your skill or knowledge, but you strive to elevate the entire community. You are a gift to the Mech Arena universe and I hope others will recognize the value of your content like this. Please keep it coming. As for me, I think I had a feel for the concept of roles, but I certainly couldn't describe it as precisely as you have put it here. It's like a child tasting for the first time a gourmet grilled cheese made from multiple types of cheese. They know something's different from their Kraft Singles grilled cheese that they have been eating, but they don't have the vocabulary or experience to fully grasp what is going on. Thank you for putting words and structure to my inklings. My hangar certainly needs some better balance, even if that means swapping out "higher ranked" mechs and weapons for more effective and complementary ones. I look forward to your additional videos in the series to help me further solidify my hangar.
We need more videos like this! This was very informative, appreciate it. Based on this I'm already in pretty decent shape with both of my hangers. I might make some small adjustments later on.
General review: Overall a great video. It helps to understand what the roles are and what you can expect from different mechs with different weapon combos. Looking forward to the next video. Personal Review: There are certain things that any player is good at, for example I can be a good pusher just cuz i have an aggressive playstyle. Someone can be a great support. Point being, if you are playing with a team and you are a good damage dealer, you'll instinctively design your hanger with that in mind. As a result, most people don't want a balanced hanger. They'll go with what they are good with. I can place a tank in my hanger like vortex but if I'm just gonna stay back and fire at the enemy from corners instead of pushing or dealing damage, i would rather have let's say a lacewing storm combo.
thanks! i think you misinterpreted slightly.. nowhere in the video did i say "do this, do that," or "copy what i have." i fully understand player nuance (im far less aggressive than most players, so ik this better than most), and gave a few general recommendations, but not strict instructions. again, the goal is to get you thinking, not for you to copy what i have.
I'll definitely come back and rewatch this video when I've got more options for mechs and weapons. Currently I'm mostly just running whatever I happen to have, I don't have any spares lmao
Awesome video, this will help refine my hanger greatly... I even took some notes about the different roles and their strengths and weaknesses... This may likely be the video of yours that I rewatch tens to hundreds of times in order to fully deepen my understanding of a good hanger...
Pretty good video. Another interesting element to competitive play is mobile ver PC. Mobile players have less ability to make the weapons go where they need to.
God I wish they would push an update to free up the aim for mobile! I dropped $$$ getting the Storm Rack 12 only to find out I can’t aim it effectively at walls/ground etc due to the overbearing aim assist locking on. So frustrating…..
I have an unreasonable love for zephyr, so instead of doing any of the things you suggested, I blew 6k acoins refreshing the pilot implant store and acquiring the legendary pulse radius implant. But if I ever decide to take the game seriously again, this was really good info. Hard to have any desire to keep up with all the newer stuff as a f2p tho.
It is one of the best basics things that needed to be pointed out I think 🤔🤔 Also it gives you ideas for future investments in both mechs and weapons with this mindset!! I have already decided I will only have one revoker and probably storm rack build😂😂 Other than that I am planning for fun weapons rather than op but still effective such as pod guns maybe but I guess I will have more insight in the next vid you talking about Eager to see that This was a great way of getting us thinking deep about our own specific builds!! Loved it!!❤❤❤❤ Thanks🙌
My current hangar according to this is Paragon Cryo Launcher: Backline/Damage dealer Guardián Longarm: Backline Ares Missile Rack: Defender/Damage dealer Tengu Ember Gun: Pusher/Damage dealer Slingshot Helix: Pusher/Backline/Damage Dealer I maybe need another Defender, thanks Ruffles
Bastion,surge,eclipse,panther, death walker is what I run for top hangar. In correspondence to the mech order I have minigun 12s, revoker 12s, revoker 16/8, rail gun 16s, sr 12s. Obviously for the near future I want sr 16s when I get the energy capacity and perhaps switch out either panther or bastion maybe both but for now it’s effective for me at 12.5k. I’d like to use nomad and vortex more but at 20 energy they don’t have the firepower for my top hangar so they’re benched
I usually play 2v2, so I have mainly assassins and damage dealers. CPC is only for the weekly objective of 16 Control Points Captures. Once that's done, I'm back to 2v2.
My most used builds: Storm Vortex- Defender/Pusher Grav Mimicker- DPS/Backline Minigun Aegis- Defender Ember Eclipse- Pusher (ik it’s bad, I just like it more than other cq mechs) Disruptor Guardian-Backline/Support Railgun Orion-Backline/Support Ember Vortex- Pusher/Defender I don’t have many pushers but if that means not using dash mechs then I’ll take it
I have tried all sorts of builds and stick to what I have had success with. Unfortunately what works for you doesn't work for me but this was still very helpful. Cheers mate.😁👍
Fs. As mentioned, the intent is not for you to copy my hangar, but to understand what you have/need (this will also help you understand if new mechs/weapons will have a place in your hangar)
I think you can limit it to 4 categories - DMG Dealer is more likely entirely weapons oriented (I think you can skip this category) - Similar to assassin as the Pusher can be seen as a mech that can distort the enemy defense line - I'm not satisfied with the defenders definition of it counters pushers as in rock paper scissors that would imply pushers > backline, defenders > pushers, where we know this isn't true), an easier definition is backline prevents (area control), defenders kill (position control), pushers can break both previous roles, support elevates/disrupts team/opponents tactics
1-2. Yes, I could simplify and merge/remove certain roles, however I think they'll be useful to express my points when I make the accompanying video around setup building. 3. I never intended to say it was rock/paper/scissors, tho I will say designated defenders can often counter pushers (since that's literally their one job). When it comes to pushers vs defenders in terms of overall value, yes pushers are far better. Hence I mentioned most top players use only pushers, and that they can act as defenders rather well.
Running Eclipse , Vortex, Surge, Seeker and Bastion. I like my lineup but I think I want a lacewing too to switch Bastion out sometimes. Generally Bastion is still my best but. On certain maps. The really big open ones particularly it's hard to use very effectively compared to faster mechs. The ability is good for countering surge and seeker though particularly
guardian is primarily a defender. as stated in the video, dont take the in-game roles too literally, not all attackers are pushers, not all tanks are defenders, etc
My hanger is like Killshot for defence and backline Zephyr for counter backup Brickhouse for rushing Panther for artillery like helping teammates And Guardian for mid foght
Hello bro. I am confused about the implants available for acoins and credits in gearhub. Are they a short term offer like legendary 75% off (p2w), or are they permanent?
Hey ruffles I need some help My sp is like 3k I need 3 of these 4 mechs: eclipse, outlaw,panther and nomad, I have been running without the panther for a while. Eclipse and nomad have 12 energy and panther and outlaw have 16. Idk which weapons to use on them, rn I have ember gun 6s on Eclipse and revoker 10 on nomad, and ember guns 8 on outlaw. I don't really have any good snipers for outlaw, but I do have helix rack? Idk which weapons to use on which mechs. I also have missile rack 6s on my vortex
situationally, every mech can **attempt** to do anything. as mentioned, this video was meant to get you thinking, not just to tell you "do XYZ." everything in this game has some level of nuance
quite possibly. Storm Eclipse is not very popular at my SP, and certainly not the best choice for competitive play, but its still good enough that you wont be 'forced' out of it, per se
Cant change of my style. Bc weapon reload timer aniexty. Being chased. Vipers and Cyrolauncher, all i have. Now new pod or 2nd new pod gun, exellent-- no ammo.
Cómo puedes contrarrestar a un eclipse con revoker, Esa combinación en más difícil de eliminar que una cucaracha , Sería bueno que realizarás un video de mech y armas , metas ,y como contrarrestar la segunda combinación que tengas en el hangar
sadly, that build is the strongest in the game for a reason. not much can kill it, tho id recommend Storm Deathwalker (since you have large AOE firepower, and can keep respawning until you kill it)
Hi ruffles Can u pls do my mid game hanger and tell me if it needs any changes Gurdian with missle rack 12 and 8 Panther with longarm or em 12 and 8 I use both own Redeemer with dis 12 and 8 Killshot with helix 1 0 and 8 And aegis with embers or arcs 10 and 8 I own both You can put the implant cause I have random implants so if u use particular implants I'll also get them Thank u pls tell me if I need any improve ment in this hanger
The random team members. cant get the blue circles.... i had to be Pusher and DMg Dealer. Team got the circles n died. Alone DmG dealer Assassin i was.
Man can u pls check out my hanger i think of u do i will have a better idea My player ID: 68817859 Gear hub:6 I've unlocked Sentilnel and storm racks i dont know if Overdriver 8s are in gear hub 6. Hopefully u can help me with this headache that im having . And i tried sentinel with overdriver 8s and its pretty fun and effective i think u ahould also try it! !🫡🫡

Rip. Most likely tho.
I'll make another video that helps ppl determine build roles soon enough
It will definitely be useful@@RuFFlesGaming

Wow! This is my favorite Mech Arena video yet! So excited for the next ones in this series.
glad you enjoyed!
Every game needs a Ruffles

Making me hungry for chips now...

yea, but theres really no nuance there, if you play mobile youre simply at a disadvantage, sadly
@RuFFlesGaming i agree. Sorry i wasn't trying to diminish your video 😁 All great insights!
God I wish they would push an update to free up the aim for mobile! I dropped $$$ getting the Storm Rack 12 only to find out I can’t aim it effectively at walls/ground etc due to the overbearing aim assist locking on. So frustrating…..
I asked you about my hanger and you helped understand a bit. I feel like I apart of the reason why you made this video. 😅
you, and the 100 others who ask for hangar reviews, yea
the outlaw with pods surprised me quiet a bit. i was not expecting that, but still, thanks for the great information!!
thats my contribution to the team, in solo play i would probably not use it
@@RuFFlesGaming oh 💀👍
Instructions unclear, now have fuve defenders
as God intended
What RuFFles actually means is the more of your hangar is floating, the better
How tf did you post a comment a day early?

some players wanna do their best with the stuff they enjoy, other players wanna change their stuff so they can do better. both valid
An ARRow Bullet, Breaks a BulletPRoof Vest. A Chainmill, slanted swords from marking.
8:44 wow all revokers, daaangerr
It is one of the best basics things that needed to be pointed out I think 🤔🤔
Also it gives you ideas for future investments in both mechs and weapons with this mindset!!
I have already decided I will only have one revoker and probably storm rack build😂😂
Other than that I am planning for fun weapons rather than op but still effective such as pod guns maybe but I guess I will have more insight in the next vid you talking about
Eager to see that
This was a great way of getting us thinking deep about our own specific builds!!
Loved it!!❤❤❤❤
Thanks🙌
much appreciated! and yes, this helps ppl decide what is isnt worth investing in, without having to ask or get their hangar reviewed
@RuFFlesGaming yeah
Also saves you the trouble to think about how to arrange and give proper recommendations for a hanger😅😅
My current hangar according to this is
Paragon Cryo Launcher: Backline/Damage dealer
Guardián Longarm: Backline
Ares Missile Rack: Defender/Damage dealer
Tengu Ember Gun: Pusher/Damage dealer
Slingshot Helix: Pusher/Backline/Damage Dealer
I maybe need another Defender, thanks Ruffles
Meanwhile my hangar:
Tank counter, Camping counter, Status effect and guided counter, two fun mechs.
Ngl this was really informative and helpful for me. Thanks a bunch!

Bastion,surge,eclipse,panther,
death walker is what I run for top hangar. In correspondence to the mech order I have minigun 12s, revoker 12s, revoker 16/8, rail gun 16s, sr 12s.

Redox gets result with skill but i combo discs nades chain & storms but eclipse worth 9k acoins surge was too... the grind is real...
My most used builds:
Storm Vortex- Defender/Pusher
Grav Mimicker- DPS/Backline
Minigun Aegis- Defender
Ember Eclipse- Pusher (ik it’s bad, I just like it more than other cq mechs)
Disruptor Guardian-Backline/Support
Railgun Orion-Backline/Support
Ember Vortex- Pusher/Defender
I don’t have many pushers but if that means not using dash mechs then I’ll take it
thanks for great video

I know guardian is an attacker mech but it can also play support role as it can cancel debuffs applied to ally’s like freeze by hemlock
guardian is primarily a defender. as stated in the video, dont take the in-game roles too literally, not all attackers are pushers, not all tanks are defenders, etc
Niiice. Agent CHARKY!!!!!
DMG DeaLeR.!!! And Assassin.!!!
Oh sheeet. They chase me, You have an OP machine gun, or HeLix, get Seeker to hunt NxT!!!
gotta love all the mechs "stregths"
My hanger is like
Killshot for defence and backline
Zephyr for counter backup
Brickhouse for rushing
Panther for artillery like helping teammates
And
Guardian for mid foght
Hello bro. I am confused about the implants available for acoins and credits in gearhub. Are they a short term offer like legendary 75% off (p2w), or are they permanent?
Yes tell me also
the discounts wont be permanent, but they will remain for in-game currency, yes
What are your thoughts on the new tourney update?
good concept, idk why the bots are so weak tho
Excellent video!
I thought u would call them passive and aggressive, I was waiting. lol
Support is New. Lucky Salvor.
You got the newest quick bots. Dodges landmines
I have death walker so what’s the best weapons for it
Storm Rack
for a f2p set i would say
surge storm racks
panther storms
nomad embers
eclipse miniguns
aegis grav beams / orion nades or disruptor
For me. All in. Which weapons. 1 of 2 to start. As WaR goes On , depending field of opps pLay, next Hunting, Weapon vs Mech, strict choice.
Orion max? Is it good with a sniper?
Good enough but u need to buy Legendary Shield Piercing Implant of Orion
Which is available in 600 Acoins rn in pilot Shop.
good, but not great
Hey ruffles I need some help
My sp is like 3k
I need 3 of these 4 mechs: eclipse, outlaw,panther and nomad, I have been running without the panther for a while. Eclipse and nomad have 12 energy and panther and outlaw have 16. Idk which weapons to use on them, rn I have ember gun 6s on Eclipse and revoker 10 on nomad, and ember guns 8 on outlaw. I don't really have any good snipers for outlaw, but I do have helix rack? Idk which weapons to use on which mechs. I also have missile rack 6s on my vortex
Lacewing can also be used as a pusher tho
Ruffles was saying in his hanger, lacewing cannot be a pusher. Because at 16-20k sp you really can't push with it against competitive players.
@ on smokestack tho
@ or skyship
situationally, every mech can **attempt** to do anything. as mentioned, this video was meant to get you thinking, not just to tell you "do XYZ." everything in this game has some level of nuance
@ ye I saw sentry use it to push mid that’s why I said it
thank you
I'm at 9k sp and i push beacons and do alot of damage with my sr10 Eclipse. Will that change as i move up iyo? 😊
quite possibly. Storm Eclipse is not very popular at my SP, and certainly not the best choice for competitive play, but its still good enough that you wont be 'forced' out of it, per se
Cant change of my style. Bc weapon reload timer aniexty. Being chased. Vipers and Cyrolauncher, all i have. Now new pod or 2nd new pod gun, exellent-- no ammo.

Hi ruffles
Can u pls do my mid game hanger and tell me if it needs any changes
Gurdian with missle rack 12 and 8
Panther with longarm or em 12 and 8 I use both own
Redeemer with dis 12 and 8
Killshot with helix 1 0 and 8
And aegis with embers or arcs 10 and 8 I own both
You can put the implant cause I have random implants so if u use particular implants I'll also get them
Thank u pls tell me if I need any improve ment in this hanger
Haah. Left the team, indiviual assassin i became.
Dmg dealer Running forward, kimling as mych their health as i can. Guns chase ne.... then team gotta wrap arround.
Actually. How each individual, work style . Id be aniextyy, Rush the reload.
Not pusher, *Blitzer*
LOOK AT THE IMPLANT MARKER MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT IT TO INFORM PEOPLE
PlatinumLTA made one that covers basically everything
What actually happened to dream hangars?
discontinued, check recent posts
@RuFFlesGaming Ah, must've missed it lol
Minigun breaks shiields.
Ages vs basstion? 🤔
When i unlovk an weapon i use it on all my mech in my hangar one by one
This is how i choose my build
thats a good practice, but this video will help you decide which ones are worth buying to begin with
Bro what did u spend that much in-game currency on huh ?
Even I have more than u
panther
Can mech arena pls add the roles as: (Sub roles) what they are usualy meant to be used, pls add so you can see it on the mech
they used to have "traits" that sometimes described the general role, but they removed that
I cant backline. Bc im a Forward
why do u have 111 exp though???
The random team members. cant get the blue circles.... i had to be Pusher and DMg Dealer. Team got the circles n died. Alone DmG dealer Assassin i was.
Hai bro,can you make best F2P weapon,im subscribe to you bow (day 1)
Ruffles I found a glitch where my whole implant shop was legendary implants. Pls help
not a glitch
Bro seeker noob?
