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[]

This robot has relatively low health and mediocre firepower, thus its best asset is its speed in flight. Using its Dragon Strike ability gives the commander an opportunity to quickly maneuver and attack an enemy robot then move back to cover, while using the extra speed to dodge anything they might throw back at you.

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 commander 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 from a distance and not take on enemy robots in a one-on-one situation.

The Ao Qin can function as a hit-and-run unit, using its ability to gain a vantage point, while activating a built-in weapon to aid it in the assault in addition to a speed boost that allows a quick ambush and then retreat in the manoeuvre. However, in the same fashion it can be used to root out hit-and-run units with their abilities recharging, as it can fly over any cover they might have and eradicate them using its weapons combined with its built-in laser.

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 weapons with an effective range along 351-425m, which will put it out of range of the dangerous 300m and 350m brawler weapons while also allowing its built-in weapon to get in extra damage.

Counterplay: The Ao Qin is extremely vulnerable to lock-on and homing weapons, as its speed is negated by the fact that they will target it no matter where it goes. Furthermore, the Ao Qin is weaker (for the most part) on the ground, so anything that can inflict the Lockdown effect will be useful in countering the robot. Robots with physical shields are also particularly effective against the Ao Qin, as its built-in weapon is an energy weapon, which is the only type of damage that isn't effective against physical shields. Alternatively, keeping your range from the robot means that its built-in weapon deals significantly reduced damage, and at 600m is almost negligible.

Threat Measure: The Ao Qin is the only robot in the Tier that is capable of flying, which can be a blessing or a curse depending on the commander's experience and playstyle. However, excluding its built-in weapon, its unremarkable stats otherwise means that the Ao Qin is a low-mediocre threat as a Tier 2 robot. Furthermore, its extremely high cost of 4000 gold is too expensive for a Tier 2 robot, added with the fact that it isn't viable makes buying the Ao Qin a huge waste of gold (unless the player has plenty of gold and they wish to buy an Ao Qin for collection/album purposes, which most players never do).

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.
