Introduction

The Pursuer is a medium robot with 3 light hardpoints. It is unofficially classified as a light robot based on wiki criteria.

Ability

The Pursuer's ability is called Hunt which when activated gives the Pursuer stealth and a 33% speed increase (88 km/h) for 10 seconds. 

Strategy

The Pursuer has the same speed and cloaking ability as the Stalker and should be piloted in a similar manner, using hit-and-run and ambush tactics, along with flanking and capturing beacons.  Certain combinations of modules and pilot skills can further enhance the Pursuer's capability by allowing it to escape dangerous situations (i.e. Phase Shift) or provide a one-time extra ability charge (Deft Survivor).

Threat Measure

The Pursuer is similar to the Stalker when it activates its ability but is far more dangerous since it has three light hardpoints.  When equipped with high burst Damage Per Second weapons the Pursuer can close in on a target, inflict significant damage, then escape within the 10 second duration of its ability.  In the middle leagues the Pursuer is a high threat, but in the higher leagues experienced pilots and bots equipped with Quantum Radar make the Pursuer a moderate threat.

The Pursuer is a great bot for pilots to learn hit-and-run tactics, utilize stealth, and hone beacon capping skills.  It is a good bot for transition to more powerful bots in a similar role in the higher leagues.

Possible Setups

These setups are recommended for the Pursuer:

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.

Overview

There are multiple effective builds for the Pursuer.  Ones that deal high burst DPS is recommended to compliment the Pursuer's hit-and-run tactics. Gusts, Halos, Pinatas, Shredders, and Rimes deal considerable burst damage that quickly cripples or eliminates enemies during the Pursuer's Hunt ability activation. 

For cheaper builds Magnums can provided sustained energy DPS.

Not Recommended

• The use of long range weaponry, as they don't fit the Pursuer's role very well as a beacon capturer and ambush unit.
