User blog:Cooldude87/How to: Ao Jun

This is my second blog :D Anyways, today I’ll be covering how to pilot the Ao Jun. Remember, this is solely my opinion so if you don’t agree, i’d say it’s perfectly normal.

Stats
At base level, the Ao Jun has a stunning 84k health pool. This is 29K more than Spectre’s base level health, who was previously considered to be the best ‘glass cannon’ (before Ares entered the battlefield). Meanwhile, Ao Jun goes across the map at 33km/h, 5km/h behind the speed of Spectre, but this is soon to be justified by its ability. On the other hand, Ao Jun also has two heavy slots, enough to inflict pain on enemies, but soon you’ll realize this isn’t too good...

Dragon Breath
Ao Jun’s ability, Dragon Breath, is arguably the best ability in the game other than Retribution and Absorption. By activating its ability, for eight seconds Ao Jun terrorizes the map, spewing corrosion flamethrower around while flying in stealth. If you didn’t think that was scary, I’ll just tell you the stats. Okay, Ao Jun gets a flabbergasting 150% speed boost in the air. Yep, you heard that right. This monster of a dragon will be zooming around your head with a 150% speed boost. For its flamethrower stats, they aren’t to be laughed at either... for one, it will deal 175 damage per liter at level one. Not a lot? Well, over the course of 8 seconds, if Ao Jun’s camera is pointed at the enemy for the whole time while within 350m, the flamethrower will spew an amazing 240 liters of flame. So, time for some quick maths. 175x240=42,000. ALSO known as 42K for base level. And while you’re trying to avoid that, some of Ao Jun’s flamethrower particles will corrode you, dealing a little damage over time for five seconds. You can run but you can’t hide, guys. When your Haechi or Inquisitor has just taken the taste of roasted flamethrower, you think you’ll be safe enough for a while, right? Well, Ao Jun will be back at you, barbecuing you in only 20 seconds. 20 seconds. This monstrosity ain’t gonna be a stroll in the park.

Notable advantages
Ao Jun’s biggest advantage is its ability. When active, it’ll be a stealthed flying dragon spewing corrosive fire at you, not counting whatever the hell the enemy pilot has put on its hardpoints. Meanwhile, it can tank out some minor attacks with an 84K health pool at level one. In a quick summary: So, not the most advantages, but let’s see how much weaknesses with it down...
 * Can fly
 * Can stealth itself
 * Built-in flamethrower
 * Corrosive damage (side effect)
 * Decent health pool

Notable weaknesses
Ao Jun’s two heavy weapons look like a lot, but when you think about it, it’s only equal to that of a Carnage, Raijin or Weyland. This is like the case with Bulwark, the former were released earlier, were cheaper (with the exception of Weyland) so most assume that they wouldn’t have enough firepower to compete with the meta. In Weyland’s case, it’s a support bot, so no-one really says it has a lot of weaponary anyways. Meanwhile, Ao Jun and Bulwark are currently the meta, and will usually demolish the former, so most assume that they have ‘a lot of firepower’. This isn’t true, the Bulwark’s defence system allows it to survive long enough to output formidable damage, while Ao Jun’s general OPness wrecks everyone. Also, Ao Jun has 33km/h, which is the same as a Bulgasari’s pathetic speed. The latter however can use Dash ability, which makes everyone think that it’s usually slower than Ao Jun. Quick summary:
 * Low firepower
 * Low speed
