Introduction

The Ao Qin is a medium robot with 4 light hardpoints.

Ability

The Ao Qin's ability is Dragon Strike.

When Dragon Strike is activated, the robot rises into the air, gains a 20% speed boost (60 km/h at max speed) for 10 seconds, and can damage enemies with its built-in electric arc cannon. However, it is possible to manually shorten the duration and land prematurely. Doing so will automatically stop the flight and laser cannon.

While in flight the robot hovers and cannot increase or decrease altitude. It can, however, reach a higher altitude if the ability is activated in a location higher than ground level or using the Jump Unit Active Module. Also, the robot can stay stationary while in midair.

The laser functions much like the Spark, the Scourge, and the Calamity, with a maximum range of 600 meters. Being the energy damage type it can also bypass energy shields. In order for the laser cannon to be fired the pilot must have the cross-hairs focused (aimed) on the target.

Strategy

The Ao Qin is part of the Spacetech faction, along with the Ao Guang and Ao Jun.

This robot has relatively low health and firepower, and its best asset is its speed in flight.  Using its Dragon Strike ability gives the pilot an opportunity to quickly maneuver and attack an enemy robot then move back to cover.  

The Ao Qin can support a team pushing for a beacon or help flank the enemy.  It is vulnerable while in the air so the pilot should use its speed to escape if confronted by a more powerful bot.  When its ability is cooling down the Ao Qin is best suited to support team attacks and not take on enemy robots in a one-vs-one situation.

The Ao Qin's built-in weapon has sufficient range to attack enemies from a decent range, although at its maximum extent it won't deal that much damage. As it is extremely vulnerable in the air, it is recommended to push as far away from the enemy as possible, while also making use of the built-in weapon available when flying. To maximize its damage potential try equipping ranged weapons such as Marquess.

Threat Measure

Ao Qin is a medium bot with 4 light hardpoints and can cover ground quickly which lends itself to ambush tactics.  The Ao Qin is agile and can dodge enemy weapons that lack lock-on ability. However, due to its fragility it is considered a low threat in higher leagues.

Possible Setups

These setups are recommended for the Ao Qin:

Note: Each slot type is filled with only one particular weapon. For example, if a robot has 3 light all three of those slots are filled with Pinatas, as mixing weapons of the same slot type is not advisable.
