Introduction

The Mender is a medium robot with 1 medium and 2 light hardpoints.

Ability

The Mender's ability is called Support. The robot gains increased movement speed (33%), damage reduction (64%, 175 defense points), and emits 7 healing pulses at the beginning of ability activation. These healing pulses repair a fixed number of hit points (see table, the higher the robot's level the more hit points it can repair) to any number of allies located in the Mender's healing radius (the green circle surrounding the Mender), including itself. A robot's hit points can only be repaired up to 80% of any damage taken, so it is not possible to be fully repaired. This ability has a 15-second cooldown phase.

Strategy

When not using its ability, Mender has above-average speed with a below-average health pool.  That, coupled with relatively low firepower (one Medium and two Light hardpoints) makes Mender vulnerable to most bots.  However when Mender activates its ability it is very good for close-in engagement ("brawling") and supporting teammates on the front lines.  The "Murder Turtle" can be a lifesaver, turning a bad situation around due to its ability to rapidly repair both allies and itself.

In each of its 7 repair "pulses" the Mender repairs roughly 10% (per pulse) of its durability at max level (Level 12 Mark II). So in first approximation, the Mender in support mode behaves roughly as having 70% higher durability than it has in reality. Together with the fact that it suffers only 30% damage (during the ability's duration), its durability (at max level) is roughly that of a robot with 2.8 times the Mender's hit point value. This can vary of course depending on when Mender receives damage while its ability is activated (since the repair pulses are released at the beginning and do not last for the entire duration). 

Since the Mender is an excellent support bot for brawling, it's recommended to use close-range weapons with high damage per second (DPS) burst capability.

As for any robot with a special ability affecting its survivability (Pursuer, Inquisitor etc.), an important factor in evaluating the damage a setup can produce is the amount it can deal while the ability is active, since you will likely want to avoid being out in the open when the ability wears off. 

Threat Measure

One of the 4 healing robots, Mender is equipped with a medium and 2 light hardpoints, capable of doing moderate damage before having to retreat after the ability ends.  It is considered a moderate threat in higher leagues, and a high threat in lower- and mid-leagues.

Possible Setups

These setups are recommended for the Mender:

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.

Close Range (350m or less)

Slot Types →	Medium Slot ↓	Light Slot (Opt. 1) ↓	Light Slot (Opt. 2) ↓

Trivia

• Assuming a player can manage 250,000 Ag per battle, it would take 795 battles (5 days 12 hours 30 minutes of continuous play) to earn enough silver to upgrade Mender to level 12
• This robot is one of three robots that are able to repair allies (or itself without using healing modules), the others being Weyland and Tyr
• Mender's paint job, "Qilin" (Chinese: 麒麟), or "Kirin", is a mythical hooved chimerical creature known in Chinese and other East Asian cultures, said to appear with the imminent arrival or passing of a sage or illustrious ruler
• Mender is one of the fastest robots in the game by having the speed of 70.49KM/H when its ability is activated. It remains slower than an Overloaded Hellburner and a hunting Pursuer
• When Mender's skill is activated, its 'current' HP can be on par with an Invader of its same level, with only a 4.6% HP difference
• Mender is the only robot that has "arms" (when the ability is activated, the Mender "hugs" itself)
• This robot was added on May 23, 2018.
